Literary Criticism 1. Context In the verses leading up to John 3:16 through 3:21‚ we see Jesus in conversation with Nicodemus‚ who is not yet willing to accept Jesus as the son of God or as his lord and savior‚ and who is equally unwilling to make a decision on such a topic. We see a man who has not yet seized the opportunity to enhance his own life by letting Jesus into it.

Anonymous October 26‚ 2012 Mr. ------ Luke 10:25-36 The passage of Luke 10:25-36 is an essential story because it applies to every Christian today the same way‚ but in order for us to follow the example Jesus made‚ we must first understand what the story would have meant to the Jews in Jesus’ time. The first step in understanding the story of the Good Samaritan is to understand the relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans of the time. The Samaritans were considered unclean by the Jews

Jonathan Gogol Jim Dumke Intro. OT Exegesis #2 Jeremiah 31:23-40 This particular section of the book of Jeremiah talks about a revelation from Yahweh that entails a promise of a “new covenant” for His people Israel; one that would enable them to fully know and follow Yahweh and his commands. This vision of consolation comes despite Israel’s consistent unfaithfulness to Yahweh‚ and also at a time when the people are truly suffering; by way of the destruction of their land by the hands of
