For the sixth, a list of the major points of the book ought to be given. The major sources for your work should be discussions in class, and any of the major commentaries (Jerome Biblical Commentary, New Jerome Biblical Commentary, The Collegeville Biblical Commentary, New International Bible Commentary, etc.). If you need help, please talk to the professor. NO ONLINE SOURCES ARE TO BE USED FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. You do not have to present the work in an organized, essay form. Rather, you may use a question/answer format. However, do make sure that spelling and grammar are correct, including sentence structure. In the past, students have found it valuable to dedicate a separate page to each book, but that is not necessary. Please include a bibliography. However, students should be careful to phrase all points in their own words. Any direct quotations from the Bible should be properly cited.
