Question.3924 - Purpose:Whereas historical context refers to the world “behind the text,” literary context refers to the world “in the text.” What kind of literature are we reading, and within what context?Prompt: Students will write a literary analysis (approximately 1,000 words) of a passage in the New Testament. Students may choose the same passage as the previous exercise or another one. 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 address the following questions: What is the genre of the composition in which the passage is situated? And why does it matter for interpretation? What is the form/genre of the passage? And why does it matter for interpretation? What is the immediate context of the passage? (What comes before it and after it?) What is the wider context of the passage? Is it part of a larger division or subdivision of the whole writing? How does it anticipate or prepare for what comes later? How does its literary context inform interpretation? To answer these questions, students should consult Botner (ch. 4) and historical-critical commentaries.
