You must submit an Exegetical Paper on a passage of your choosing. The instructor will provide a list of possible passages from which you may choose. The paper must follow current Turabian format. The paper must be 2,500–4,250 words (Note: Your title page, table of contents, and bibliography are not included as part of your total word count). You must include at least 7 scholarly sources (Note: Your textbooks do not count toward this total). Proper citation and use of sources is expected. You will also be graded on style and content.
You will find instructions for a basic exegetical paper in Appendix 2 of the textbook Grasping God’s Word. Submit a .doc or .docx file of your paper by uploading it to Blackboard. Submit your paper as an attachment rather than pasting it into the comments box.
See the Exegetical Paper Grading Rubric for details on how the paper will be evaluated.
