See the course Doc Sharing area for a bibliography for source material. Be sure to use some of
those biblical reference books in the bibliography for your paper, especially those by Bauer,
Buttrick, Freedman, Kittel and Friedrich, Leon-Dufour, McKenzie, and Sackenfeld. Avoid using
other sources found on the Internet unless cleared in advance with the instructor. Publically
available digital sources may not always be of high quality.
You should document your paper carefully. More than three consecutive words used by another
author need to be documented as direct quotation (as block quote or with quotation marks). Both
paraphrase and direct quotation need to be cited. The purpose of such documentation is to
enable the reader to find your source with ease. Failure to document adequately will earn the
score of zero on the paper. Keep the use of quotation to a minimum. Sources
