English 2373 The Bible as Literature

Professor Britt

Week 14 Discussion

I would like for your discussions to arise from your reading of the Bible, the lectures, and the minimal text readings that are assigned. However, I know sometimes students find themselves at a loss about where to begin discussions. So each week I will give you a selection of Discussion Questions from the text. Usually these will be the Questions for Discussion and Reflection rather than the Questions for Review. Do not feel pressured to address any or all of the assigned questions. I am just giving you a range of topics that will be covered in the section we are concentrating on each week. Pick the question or questions that you find most intriguing, challenging, interesting, or puzzling. Begin a dialogue with your classmates about these topics. Feel free to explore any topics or questions you would like to pose either in class or online. There are usually no single answers to these questions, but they should begin a dialogue between you and your classmates. Post by Wednesday at the latest, then return and carry on discussions before Saturday morning at 8:00. .

The following are this week’s suggested questions if you have no response on your own:

Questions for Discussion and Reflection page 446 #1, 2, 3, 4, page 464 (only one), page 494-5 #1, 2, 3, page 500 (only one), page 503-4 #1, 2, 3 or other topics of your choosing.
