Question.3899 - Purpose:The purpose of an historical analysis is to situate a biblical passage within its original context, the world “behind the text.” This is a vital interpretive skill to develop because we believe that what the Bible means for us today cannot be disconnected from what it meant to the original author and audience.Prompt: Students will write an historical analysis (approximately 1,000 words) of a passage in the New Testament. Generally, a passage is somewhere in the ballpark of 6-12 verses, but the most important thing is to identify what you perceive to be a coherent unit. Croy (2011, 23) writes, “Determining the limits of the passage is seldom rocket science. It often involves commonsense observations of transitions, shifts in topic, changes in grammatical subject, scene changes, and so forth.”The paper should answer the following questions: When was the text written (date/range)? Who wrote it? (Be sure to note if authorship is contested.) Where and for whom was the text written? “From a simple reading of your passage, what are the phenomena that commend themselves for further study? What individuals, groups of persons, geographical places, religious practices, ethnic customs, material objects, social institutions, and so forth are relevant to the interpretation of the passage? Consider both things that are explicitly named and things that are assumed. Look up the most important three or four items” (Croy 2011, 104).
