You are expected to read the articles with a critical eye and to interact with the author\u2019s theology and worldview. Since you are not considered an authority, you must withhold personal references, opinions, attitudes, and values from the critiquing process. Please follow this template when writing each critique:<\/p>\n<p>Title Page<\/p>\n<p>Contents Page (Section headings should be as follows: Introduction, Brief Summary, Critical Interaction, Conclusion, Selected Bibliography, See LBTS Writing Guide, p. ii)<\/p>\n<p><strong>The body of your critique includes the following sections<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>I. Introduction (1 paragraph)<\/p>\n<p>A. Provide a purpose statement.<\/p>\n<p>B. Provide a brief overview of the paper\u2019s contents.<\/p>\n<p>II. Brief Summary (1 paragraph)<\/p>\n<p>A. Capture the thesis of the article.<\/p>\n<p>B. Share the overall content of the article.<\/p>\n<p>III. Critical Interaction (1\u20132 paragraphs)<\/p>\n<p>A. The point is not whether you agree with the author\u2019s point of view, but that you recognize what the author is discussing and what theological issues are at stake.<\/p>\n<p>B. It is important for you to document your assessment of the author throughout. If you evaluate the author\u2019s opinion, give an example along with an endnote to designate an outside source where the opinion can be observed.<\/p>\n<p>C. Does the author approach the subject with any presuppositions\/or biases?<\/p>\n<p>D. With what theological and biblical perspectives does he\/she approach the subject?<\/p>\n<p>E. What is the author\u2019s goal?<\/p>\n<p>F. Has the author developed his\/her thesis logically?<\/p>\n<p>G. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the author\u2019s arguments?<\/p>\n<p>H. Did the author prove his\/her thesis?<\/p>\n<p>I. What are some applications that arise from this article?<\/p>\n<p>IV. Conclusion (1 paragraph)<\/p>\n<p>A. This is where you wrap up your work by conveying how well the author achieved his\/her goals. Very briefly summarize your evaluations here.<\/p>\n<p>B. Does the author leave you with any questions? If so, what are they?<\/p>\n<p>Selected Bibliography (on a separate page)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The minimum of 2 full pages not to exceed 3-page requirement refers to the Introduction, Brief Summary, Critical Interaction, and Conclusion sections.
