Final Project Initial Bibliography Submission

Completion requirements

This week is a week of preparation for and work on your final paper. Read the instructions for the paper in the syllabus. Then find some good commentaries on the OT and NT passages you are studying (Joel 2:28-32 in Acts 2:16-21, Hosea 11:1 in Matthew 2:15, and Micah 5:2 in Matthew 2:6). You need to have  two scholarly commentaries  for each passage. Finish your initial bibliography for the paper, and submit it, so your professor can see how you are progressing. (You can add more sources to your bibliography, if necessary before you submit the paper.)

Research the context of each of these passages and write your first draft of your paper for each passage. Then review Bock’s article on “The Use of the Old Testament in the New,” and make sure you understand his categories for the use of the OT in the NT, especially (1) Prophetic Fulfillment and the two subcategories under Typological Fulfillment, (2) typological-PROPHETIC fulfillment and (2) TYPOLOGICAL-prophetic fulfillment. A good resource for your study, if you can access it, is Beale, G. K. and D. A. Carson.  Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 2007. ISBN: 978-0801026935
