Here’s some more help for writing an essay on context.
Here is the verse.
So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?
- This is an informative essay. Assume the reader doesn’t know much about it, and make sure you answer any questions they might have. Your essay should answer these general questions.
- Who is the author? Are they the ones speaking? Who is speaking? Who are they speaking to? What are they talking about? Are there any key words or phrases?
- You should explain any words and phrases that the reader would not understand without context.
- Who is the author? Are they the ones speaking? Who is speaking? Who are they speaking to? What are they talking about? Are there any key words or phrases?
- For Acts 11:17, your essay needs to
- tell me who is speaking
- tell me to whom is the speaker speaking.
- explain to me “same gift”? (keywords/phrases)
- show me a depth of thought, reflection
- Book context; the author, setting, (not necessary, but can get you points)
To determine verse context, any of the following textbook tools will help you.
- Our memory verses are taken from the textbook section that we are in at the time it’s assigned. Check out that section for a full breakdown of the context. (For example, Acts 11:17 is the memory verse for section 2.3 in your textbook. Check it out!)
The following study Bible tools will help as well.
- Carefully read the chapter this verse is in.
- Outlines/Chapter Titles and Subtitles: Skim the book leading up to your passage. Take note of the titles and subtitles. What’s going on at this point in the book?
- Book Introduction: Familiarize yourself with the Book’s introduction. What’s going on at this point in history?
- Commentary: What do the commentators say this verse is about? What is its theological significance?
Reading the chapter + the chapters before and after: Who speaks/writes these words? Why write/speak to them?
