What should I include in the review?
\nThe author, title, publication data, pages read.<\/p>\n
Summary (approx. 6-7 pp.):
\nWhat does the book contain, and how is it organized?
\nWhat do you consider to be the thesis or leading ideas of the book?
\nWhat does the author hope to teach you or convince you?<\/p>\n
Analysis (approx. 2-3 pp.):
\nWhat does the book do well?
\nAre there limitations or problems with the book?<\/p>\n
Implications (approx. 2-3 pp.):
\nHas this book changed or informed your thinking on any major issues?
\nWhat application(s) might there be for you, personally and\/or professionally?<\/p>\n
Be sure to be specific about how this book can be related to Job.
\nYou probably should not use extensive quotes from Job, but you will want to give brief quotes or references (that is, relevant chapter and verse citations) from the book itself. Don\u2019t be content to allude to Job as a general example of innocent suffering, but use it as a work whose particulars you
\nhave studied and analyzed.<\/p>\n
Should I use any references beyond the book itself?
\nYou will want to compare your reading of the book with one or two published reviews; generally these can be found in the ATLAS database on the seminary library website, in full text for download. Feel free to cite and interact with the reviewer(s), but do not rely upon them to summarize the book for you or to supply the analysis that you should give it.<\/p>\n
If your author gives an interpretation to a particular passage in Job or another Biblical book that surprises or disturbs or intrigues you, you may be interested to check a commentary or two to see how conventional the suggestion is. In any case, be very careful to give explicit bibliographical citations for any material that you use.<\/p>\n
Format note:
\nBoth direct and indirect quotations from the book that you are reviewing should be cited by page number only. If you use other publications, you should give complete publication data and page number(s) in a footnote and a bibliographical entry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
