OK, so the writing isn’t the best. Professor Enns said that the reason he didn’t make us write an exegetical paper for his OTI was that the papers we write in seminary aren’t really that good. I agree with him and when you read my this paper, you probably will as well. The B- I received for it was an act of mercy on the part of my Hermeneutics professor, Dr. Poythress. I thought about editing it but decided to post it as is (with some very minor changes). <\/p>\n
Now, keep in mind that this was my first exegetical paper and I wrote it at the same time that I was taking a very intensive systematic theology class, so I was writing a lot of digests at the same time I was preparing to write this paper. I spent way too much time on research and not enough time on writing (which is usually what I do). It should have been edited about 5 or 6 more times but I wrote it the week it was due so it wasn’t edited enough. And I can’t believe I did not even give it a decent title. You’ll notice a lack of cohesion. I was still trying to figure out what the heck I was suppose to include while I was writing the paper. Oh if I only had another month, it would have been a lot better (but I probably would have wasted the month on more research and would have procrastinated writing it — which is also something I tend to do \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
OK, enough with the excuses \ud83d\ude42 Here it is (if you can’t read the Greek, install the Bibleworks Greek font<\/a> and hopefully it will work):<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
