Hey dropouts! I didn't get a chiasm from anyone in your group! FAIL! :>)
I guess we could count Nicole's...she posted an attempt in her observations early on.
Hey Truth-seekers!
We were lagging a little on the chiasm but most of you got yours done, so way to go. Make sure you get a chance to look at the one I posted for a different, perhaps more detailed, perspective.
We are going to skip over the outline part of the inductive method because, in this case, the chiasm is the structure of the passage, and an outline wouldn't make much sense when the chiasm is used as a literary method of arranging the content (structure). This happened with our passage last semester as well. We tried to force an outline that wasn't really there.
This next assignment is very straightforward. We are going to do some CULTURAL ANALYSIS on this passage next. To understand the message of a passage (what it meant to the original hearers), we need to understand the historical and cultural background behind the writing. For your assignment this week, LIST A FEW WORDS OR THEMES FOUND IN THIS PASSAGE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT (SPECIFICALLY, THEIR CULTURAL BACKGROUND). Then, I will pick a few from your lists and supply you with some readings on those words/themes. Sound good? Great!
Please post by Thursday, March 24 @ midnight!
Thanks! EVERYONE can get in on this step!
