Biblical Exegesis on Ephesians 2:8-13

Detailed Analysis Rough Draft This week you will begin to get into the real “meat” of this exegetical paper. You will begin to do a detailed analysis of the passage that you have selected to study for this course. Now would be the time to freshen up on the passage you have selected one more time and read it again. From your readings and study consider the following: * What does the analysis of the historical background and context indicate about the meaning of the passage? * Read and compare the passage with a minimum of two other translations. Note any differences that indicate truly divergent meanings or help amplify a meaning. * Identify at least one key word as indicated in your Elements of Biblical Exegesis textbook (pages 105-111. Rely on commentaries to help you understand the contextual meanings of these words. What is significant about the author’s use of such words? * Define the meaning of each key word in light of its unique context. Remember that this is an exegesis paper NOT a word study. Be careful not to overwork word definitions. * What is the literary form? Are there any literary devices (metaphors, allegories, etc.)? What impact does this make on the meaning of the passage? * Note the grammatical structure of the passage for any bearing this has on the meaning of the passage. * Consult and use a minimum of three commentaries and compare them with the meaning of the passage as derived from the above process. * Look up the passage in at least one periodical/journal (you should have found two in your SEU Library Exercise. Prefer any periodical listed in the bibliography under the heading “Periodicals.” * What specific theological issues are addressed? How do these theological issues relate to the basic message of the Bible? What, if any, unique concepts or insights are presented concerning these theological issues? What issues were at stake? Does the passage describe some aspect of God, humans, Christ, salvation, ethics, the Church, or the Holy Spirit? Old or New Testament theology resources would be helpful at this point. Interact with and present the result of steps A-I on one or two verses at the most for this rough draft. This section must be written as a narrative rough draft. Submitting a paper that lists A-I and includes research will not suffice. The rough draft must be written in a narrative format just like your final paper.

The Three Evils of Society by Martin Luther King Jr

Text Speech Analysis Paper with Annotated Reference Page In a three to four page paper, analyze the rhetorical strategies of one of the speeches chosen from a list provided by the instructor. Prompt: How does the speech work to convince its audience, what kind of rhetorical strategies does the speech use to convince its audience? Do not summarize the content of the speech. Analyze its rhetorical and argumentative strategies. The thesis driven argument can be substantiated by providing an examination of any combination of rhetorical modes, argumentative appeals, figurative devices, persuasive strategies, moral reframings, fallacies, pillars, analogies, specious diction or propagandistic techniques. One should quote from at least two outside sources and provide an annotated bibliography of the paper’s source material. The speech that will be analyzed: “The Three Evils of Society” by Martin Luther King Jr. https://www.scribd.com/doc/134362247/Martin-Luther-King-Jr-The-Three-Evils-of-Society-1967 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8d-IYSM-08 “And so the collision course is set. The people cry for freedom and the congress attempts to legislate repression. Millions, yes billions, are appropriated for mass murder but the most meager pittance for foreign aid for international development is crushed in the surge of reaction. Unemployment rages at a major depression level in the black ghettos, but the bipartisan response is an anti-riot bill rather than a serious poverty program…. We cry out against welfare handouts to the poor but generously approve an oil depletion allowance to make the rich, richer. Six Mississippi plantations receive more than a million dollars a year, not to plant cotton but no provision is made to feed the tenant farmer who is put out of work by the government subsidy. The crowning achievement in hypocrisy must go to those staunch Republicans and Democrats of the Midwest and West who were given land by our government when they came here as immigrants from Europe. They were given education through the land grant colleges. They were provided with agricultural agents to keep them abreast of farming trends, they were granted low interest loans to aid in the mechanization of their farms and now that they have succeeded in becoming successful, they are paid not to farm and these are the same people that now say to black people, whose ancestors were brought to this country in chains and who were emancipated in 1863 without being given land to cultivate or bread to eat that they must pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. What they truly advocate is Socialism for the rich and Capitalism for the poor… we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice; the fact is that Capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor– both black and white, both here and abroad… Somewhere we must see that justice is indivisible, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and I have fought too long and too hard against segregated public accommodations to end up at this point in my life, segregating my moral concerns…So let us stand in this convention knowing that on some positions, Cowardice asks the question, “is it safe? Expediency asks the question, “is it politic?” Vanity asks the question, “is it popular?” But conscious asks the question, “is it right?” And on some positions, it is necessary for the moral individual to take a stand that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but he must do it because it is right. And we say to our nation tonight, we say to our Government, we even say to our FBI, we will not be harassed, we will not make a butchery of our conscious, we will not be intimidated, and we will be heard.”
