ENGL 3370: Bible as Literature

Project Duration

Early to Late October 2024

Overview

I was tasked with writing an essay in which I provided background context for the intensifying action of the biblical story, how the story intensifies in key moments such as Genesis 22 and Exodus 12–14, and focused on how different characters (e.g., Abraham, and Moses) moved the Bible’s story forward.

Process

I used evidence from the Bible and previously acquired knowledge to establish the background context, as well as to form and support my points.

Result

I received top marks on the project, in addition to high praise from my professor:

Your revision is a delight to read. Your attentive revisions make more distinct the through lines, and I commend you for your clarity, concision, and concentrated insights[.] The essay manifests both your firm grip on the shape of the interlaced stories that make up the biblical Story thus far, and your clear-sightedness with respect to the shape of the story to come. Very well done.
