1 NTS 438: The Book of Revelation Advance Assignment Instructor: Rev. Dr. Israel Kamudzandu Semester: Summer 2015 Required Texts 1. W. J. Harrington, Revelation (Sacra Pagina; Collegeville: Liturgical, 1993). 2. Michael J. Gorman, Elements of Biblical Exegesis, Revised and Expanded Edition: A Basic Guide for Students and Ministers. Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, Recommended Text: 1. Tokunboh Adeyemo, ed., Africa Bible Commentary: A One Volume Commentary written by 70 African Scholars (Nairobi, Kenya: WordAlive Publishers, 2006). 2. Daniel Patte, ed., Global Bible Commentary (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 2004) Assignments: There are two advance assignments for this summer course: 1 st assignment is due on May 21 st, 2015 Posted on Moodle by 1:00PM and the second assignment is due on June 20 th posted on Moodle by 1:00PM. Choose a passage from Chapters 1-5 in the Book of Revelation and following the instructions below have an exegetical notebook and write a brief exegetical paper of 6-8 pages on what you discern to be the central theological and spiritual meaning of the pericope. I expect you to follow the format you learned in HBS 301 and NTS 301. Consult the guidelines for writing exegetical papers that were distributed in NTS 301 or posted on Moodle or in your Syllabus. An excellent paper will have a clearly stated thesis statement that will be supported and developed through a coherent discussion of the historical context, the literary context, and the structure of the passage, as well as through a verse-by-verse thick description of the text. An excellent paper will exemplify good style, organization, grammar and spelling. It will also show a considerable evidence of engagement with other significant interpreters of the passage. I have attached a list of resources that you can work with. You are strongly exhorted to consult with me about your exegetical work while you are in the process of writing the paper. I will happily give you feedback on thesis statement. The paper could be on one of the following topics or a theme of your choice, related to Revelation 1-5: The Christology (teaching about Christ) of Revelation 1-5; The Ecclesiology(teaching about the Church) of Revelation 1-5; 1

2 The Ethics of Revelation 2-3; The function of the Visions in Revelation 1-5. Both your exegetical theological notebook and paper must be posted on Moodle on the due date of May 21 st, 2015, by 1:00PM. In the use of resources, please be careful to acknowledge sources of ideas and quotations. See the section in student Handbook on Integrity of Work. This is an important matter for your consideration. Use a style guide such as: Taurabian, K. L. A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertation. (4 th /5 th ed. Chicago: University of Chicago, 1973/1986). Guidelines for Your Exegetical/Theological Notebook You are to print a version of the text of Revelation to mark up. The translation should be the NRSV, RSV, NAB, NJB, NIV, or TNIV. Format the text with 1.5 or double spacing and 3-inch left and right margins. I would suggest putting the pages in a ½-inch binder. Your task is to begin work on the text before reading commentaries, looking for and noting such things as structure, key words and images, intertextuality (echoes of Scripture, other writings, or other parts of Revelation), significant theological claims, other translations options, problems, questions, brief reflections, etc. Then, after working with the text yourself, read the assigned secondary literature, making any additional notes you care to make. (See sample below.) This exegetical-theological work will become the basis of your textual analysis and crafting a thesis statement. When we meet in summer, exegetical notebooks will also be an important feature of our engagement with the entire book of Revelation. 2
