Policies A. Regular attendance and regular submission of assignments on due dates in the syllabus is expected. The following guidelines have been approved for inclusion in all HGST syllabi and reflect standards for all courses: Fall/Spring semester 15-session course 3-absence maximum Summer term 8-session course 1-absence maximum (equals 4 hours). 6-session hybrid 1-absence maximum 4-session hybrid 0-absence maximum If a student reaches the designated number of absences, the student will no longer be allowed to stay in the class. The student does have the opportunity to appeal to the Academic Dean and should assume responsibility for scheduling that meeting as soon as possible.

5 B. Work is expected on the due date. Quiz grades will be reduced one letter grade each week the quiz is late. The final exam will be penalized one letter grade if not turned in on the last day of the course. C. Turnitin.com 1. All written assignments are subject to required submission to to check for originality and style. The assignments that are required for submission will be described in the syllabus. 2. Students will create an account at After doing so, the student will join the course page with the code and password supplied by the instructor. The class ID # is , and the enrollment key is OTSum18. Students must submit the final exam of this course to turnitin.com. 3. Students will submit assignments by the due date and time and may be required to submit the assignments in a hard copy format. D. Electronic Equipment Usage in Classrooms It is expected that students will use technology (cell phones, laptop computers, ipads, etc.) during classes only for the purposes of class work. Therefore, students should turn off cell phones and refrain from texting and using laptop computers during classes except for the purposes of taking notes or doing research specifically authorized by the course instructor. Students who have emergency needs not covered by this policy must ask for an exception from the course instructor. E. Please review the Academic Catalog for requirements regarding Incompletes and Plagiarism issues. For more information on Library Services, please download the Library Handbook from the HGST website. VIII. Notes for Writing Assignments A. Writing assignments for MDiv, MASD, MAML, and MTS should conform to Kate Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 8 th Edition. This includes matters of style and format. Counseling students should pay particular attention to the Manual guidelines on submission of academic papers. B. The instructor normally requires the use of footnotes for documentation. The student should number pages. According to Turabian, page numbers should be in the upper right hand corner, except for the first page of the paper (not counting the title page). Margins should be one inch on all four sides, except where major headings require a two-inch top margin. C. The student should utilize 12-point Times New Roman font throughout. The instructor prefers that the student not use presentation or report binders or folders. She prefers submission of papers with staples or binder clips. D. Critical or formal writing differs from colloquial writing or spoken English at several points. The student should note the following guidelines for critical writing. The instructor expects students to follow these guidelines strictly. Failure to do so will be penalized. 1. Avoid 1 st or 2 nd person references ( I, we, or you ). Keep the written projects objective and professional. The student must remember that imperative forms are second person. 2. Never use contractions. 3. Avoid passive voice construction (i.e. The student should write God chose Joshua rather than Joshua was chosen by God. ). Some exceptions are necessary, but limiting the use of passive voice is a good policy. 5

6 4. Be sure that number and tense always agree (i.e., Do not write in one place that Brueggemann argues... and at another place Brueggemann argued... ). Subject-verb agreement is imperative. 5. Spellcheck! Spellcheck! Spellcheck! Dr. Pitts does not tolerate misspelled words. Failure to spellcheck will result in a substantive reduction on the grade for written assignments. 6. Grammar check works as well! 7. All pronouns should have clear antecedents. Avoiding it is and there is in the paper removes much of the ambiguity of pronoun usage. 8. Sentence fragments are unacceptable. Every sentence must have a subject and a predicate. 6

7 7 IX. Fall 2014 Final Exam Take Home Warnings: Do not cut and paste from the instructor s notes! Do not cut and paste from the Internet! Do not copy directly from the textbook! Do write your own answers! Penalties will be severe! I have read % of the required reading for this course. 1. In words, discuss mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. Why has Moses been seen traditionally as the author of the Pentateuch and why do the majority of scholars doubt that designation today? Be specific. (10 pts.) 2. Dr. Pitts emphasized the importance of Ex. 19 for Old Testament theology. Why is the text important? (5 pts.) 3.

Why do most scholars believe that the book was written by more than one person? (10 pts.) 5. Describe Brueggemann s rubric of Orientation, Disorientation, and New Orientation for understanding the Book of Psalms, including how this rubric connects with the usual form-critical categories (e.g. Thanksgiving Hymn). Give brief examples of each. (10 pts.) 6. Describe the worldview of Wisdom Literature. How does this worldview compare with the worldview of most of the Old Testament s covenant history? How do the Books of Job and Ecclesiastes relate to this worldview? (10 pts.) 7. When interpreting proverbs, why is it important to remember that proverbs are proverbs, not laws or promises? Provide specific examples. (5 pts.) 8. Compare the Books of Chronicles and the Books of Samuel and Kings. Give 2-3 specific examples of the differences between the two presentations and discuss the reasons for the differences. (10 pts.) 9. Define apocalyptic. Describe the origins and characteristics of apocalyptic literature. How does Daniel function as apocalyptic? (5 pts.) 10. Complete this statement from Dr. Pitts: Scripture isn t scripture until. Why does he think this is important? (5 pts.) 11. Define covenant. What is the importance of covenant in the Old Testament? How is the Old Testament theme of covenant developed in the New Testament? Give specific examples. (10 pts.) 12. Discuss the importance of the theology of creation in the Old Testament (NOTE: Not only in Genesis). Include explicit examples. (5 pts.) 13.

These commentaries are scholarly, with translation, translation notes (including Hebrew/Greek text), and comment. They also include a special discussion of matters related to Lutheran theology and practice. Anchor Bible. Garden City, NY: Doubleday. These tend to be linguistic-oriented with a great deal of historical and archaeological background. (Hebrew/Greek helps.) Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms. Grand Rapids: Baker Academic. These commentaries are exegetical, with a focus on the theology of the text. They are written by wellknown evangelical scholars. The Bible Speaks Today. Downers Grove, IL: Inter-varsity Press. This is a practical commentary that seeks to interpret & apply the biblical text. It is also paperback and very affordable. Hermeneia. Minneapolis: Augsburg/Fortress. Probably the most critical of the commentary sets readily available, but also includes perhaps the most up to date bibliography & critical/ historical issues. (Hebrew/Greek almost a must) Interpretation. Philadelphia: Westminster/John Knox. This set is designed for the preacher and teacher by focusing upon interpretation and application, but it also attempts to deal with historical and critical issues. New American Commentary. Nashville: Broadman and Holman. This set is fairly detailed and critical but very conservative in nature. Technical discussions such as Hebrew translation are numerous, but they are placed in the footnotes rather than the text itself. New International Biblical Commentary. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson. These are affordable volumes that include detailed section by section discussions, including both technical, interpretative, and practical issues. New International Commentary on the Old Testament. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans. This set is critical but conservative, focusing upon interpreting the original text. (Hebrew/Greek helps.) The New Interpreter s Bible. Nashville: Abingdon. Recent critical, yet practical commentary set on the entire Bible. NIV Application Commentary. Grand Rapids: Zondervan. Commentary focuses upon bridging from the biblical text to contemporary application, but does contain some helpful exegesis as well.

12 Old Testament Library. Philadelphia: Westminster/John Knox. This is a critical commentary focusing upon literary issues & interpretation. The newer volumes are especially helpful for interpretative purposes. (Hebrew/Greek helps.) Tyndale Old Testament Commentary. Downers Grove, IL: Inter-varsity Press. This set includes some older (1960 vintage) and some newer commentaries. Each volume is brief and affordable, offering a short technical discussion from a conservative viewpoint. Word Biblical Commentary. Dallas: Nelson/Word. This is an in-depth scholarly commentary with detailed explanation of every passage, but also includes practical application & explanation. (Hebrew/Greek helps.) Word Communicator s Commentary. Dallas: Nelson/Word. This series is designed to help the teacher/preacher understand and apply the Bible in preaching, sometimes lacks scholarly preciseness and depth. 12
