Exegetical Project

Description

Survey Acts–This assignment has three parts. This project may be typed or hand written. (30 points) Part one: survey Acts. Read the entire book through. Give a 3 to 5 word descriptive title for every pericope. A pericope is a single story or unit. Use the NOAB. Use your own titles. Do not copy titles from a study bible or from the bottom of the NOAB. If you have several verses of what appear to be random sayings, then you may treat those as a unit, but make an effort to see if the sayings are connected. If this part of your project is less than four pages (single spaced if hand written or using a font and spacing as you see here) you are not giving me enough detail. This part need not be more than eight pages. Give yourself time to complete it as it may require six-ten hours. This part of the project is worth 20 points. Part two: identify major themes. Identify five major themes that you discovered. A theme should be something that you see more than once. If it is an important theme it should appear several times. List the scripture references that support your discoveries. To be major it needs to be more than once! This part of the project is worth 5 points. Part three: identify literary types. Identify five literary types or genres. Give at least two examples of each type.  Don’t worry about proper labels. Use your own. This part of the project is worth 5 points.
