Read (John 4.5-42 and Acts 11.19-26, 29-30). In addition, you must use other scholarship, citing at least eight secondary works in total, including NT Commentaries on the texts. That is, explain how the texts are interpreted by various scholars. (The Bible is a primary work, not a secondary work.) Read the selected NT texts carefully, several times. Approach this task thinking pastorally, shaping your exegesis so that it is relevant to a life of faith today and in the context of contemporary social and cultural issues, that may differ from the historical, cultural and social contexts. Engage with the text of your selected Gospel and Acts reading and interpret these passages. Prepare a critical exegetical essay, not a homily, which interprets them using the scholarship.The main focus of essay is interpreting the Gospel account (80%). Also explain the Acts reading (20%), showing how it is connected to the Gospel reading in the lectionary, and interpreting the meaning of this passage from Acts. Format:Introduction: At the start state a concise research question (what you are arguing for), structure your paper around that question, and state the thesis statement you will reach as your conclusion. Body: When you refer to selected verses in the NT pericopes clearly state the specific verses you are interpreting (it is suggested that the verse references are included in the paper subheadings). Conclusion: Summarise the key points that answer the question you set and conclude by explaining your thesis statement.
