IV. COURSE REQUIREMENTS

A. Reading Assignments

Bible Reading. The purpose of this requirement is to give you exposure to divine
revelation. Read each of the Bible books covered in this course in its entirety
according to the course schedule. You check off the reading in each module using the
reporting “quiz” if completed on time. In all Bible Exposition courses, reading the
Bible is very important.

Course Notes Reading. The purpose of this requirement is to give you exposition of
the divine revelation. The course notes will help you understand the Bible books.
Read the course notes (2010 edition) required for this class, excluding the
bibliographies, along with your Bible reading. You will get the most help from the
notes if you first read a paragraph in the Bible and then read the notes on that passage.
You check off the reading in each module to report your completion.

All reading of the Bible and course notes is to be done before viewing module videos.
Therefore, it is advised to work ahead as much as possible.

For each module, all reading of the Bible and course notes must be done by the due
date in order to receive any credit for that module. Thus, no credit will be given for
module reading completed after the due date.

B. Class Videos and Module Introductions

The purpose of class videos is to reinforce the Bible and course note reading. The
student is required to view 50% of each module’s total video time by the module due
deadline. For example, if the total video time for Module 5 is 1 hour, 35 minutes, the
student is required to watch 48 minutes of videos for module 5 by the due date posted
in module 5. You have the choice of what videos you watch for each module.

Additionally, students are required to watch each module introduction video, which is
often posted the day a module begins. These videos contain important course
information (due date extensions, assignment helps, etc.) that students need to know.
BE106OL—Acts & Pauline Epistles YARBROUGH, 3
Summer 2014

For each module, all video viewing must be done by the due date in order to receive
any credit for that module. Thus, no credit will be given for module video viewing
completed after the due date.

C. Written Assignments

The purpose of this requirement is to get you involved in exploration of the divine
revelation. You must do a total of three papers: two research papers (5–7 pages each)
and a Galatians Bible argument paper (10–15 pages).

Research Papers. Two research papers will be required for this course.

All papers must be submitted in proper (i.e., Turabian) form using a normal 12 pt.
font. The student handbook states “Course papers must conform as nearly as possible
to thesis style as presented in the latest edition of A Manual for Writers of Term
Papers, Theses, and Dissertations by Kate L. Turabian and to any additional
instructions authorized by the faculty.” Also, please obtain the DTS Supplement to
Turabian or the Resource CD from the book center for specific instructions that apply
to papers done here at DTS. The student should be aware that he/she is responsible
for obtaining and knowing these instructions and that the grade will be reduced for
failure to comply. Students are strongly encouraged to use the paper template
provided in the course files.

All papers must have at least six (6) valid sources in an attached bibliography. For
research-type papers, state the claim or thesis clearly in your introduction by
including a one-sentence claim/thesis statement in your first paragraph that depicts
the direction of the paper. Be sure to defend any position you take. Write a good,
brief conclusion. Always note the sources you use, not just those from whom you
quote. Although content will be viewed as the primary component, clarity, neatness,
accuracy, and spelling will affect the grade. Each research paper should be 5–7 pages
in length (the argument paper will be longer). All papers will be graded according to
the grading rubric located in the course files. Students often ask for numerous
comments on their papers. Please notice that this grading sheet enables numerous
comments to be made by carefully noting in which areas improvements could be
made.

Research papers must be chosen from the following topics:

• Paul’s Encounter in Athens (Acts 17)

• Baptism in the Book of Acts
• Persecution in the Book of Acts
• Paul’s Teaching on Divorce and Remarriage
• Imminency of Christ’s Return in Paul’s Letters
• Church Discipline from a Biblical, Historical, and Theological Perspective
BE106OL—Acts & Pauline Epistles YARBROUGH, 4
Summer 2014

• Unity and Division in Paul’s Epistles

• The Nature and Use of the Lord’s Supper in the Church
• The Use of Spiritual and Sign Gifts in Paul’s Epistles
• Paul’s Nature and Use of Christology in Paul’s Epistles
• The Nature and Qualities of Church Leaders in Paul’s Epistles
• Choose a topic of interest to you relevant to this course and have it approved
by the GTA before you write on it. (This paper cannot be the same topic as
one done for another class or in the interactions for this course.)

Argument Paper. You will write a book argument for Galatians.

The Bible Exposition department has set as a goal that students in BE106 will be able
to write an argument of a Bible book. To begin, you need to develop an outline
(original or otherwise, as your professor will specify) for the Bible book that you (or
the professor) select(s). The length of the book will determine the amount of detail
that you should include in the outline. The longer the book, the less detail is required.
It is not necessary to present the outline separately from the argument; the argument
must incorporate the outline, as illustrated below.

Writing the argument itself is the crux of this assignment. Under each point of the
outline you need to explain what the writer said and why he said it. (A synthesis, in
contrast, only summarizes content, but an argument also explains why it is there.) An
argument, therefore, is not a summary of the contents of a book, nor a detailed outline,
nor a sermon, nor a list of assorted applications, but an explanation of how the
contents of the book relate to its purpose. You will seek to trace the development of
the author’s thought through the book.

Therefore, you will also need to determine the purpose of the book. Ask yourself,
“Why was this book written?” You can determine a book’s purpose by noting such
clues as the historical context, the occasion of the book, its emphases, the peculiarities
of the book, etc. Sometimes a writer will state the purpose of his book openly (e.g.,
John 20:30-31), but usually you will have to discover the purpose.

Here is an illustration of how to incorporate your outline of the book into your
argument.

The promotion of the project 1:1-15 (Give an overview of this section of the text
and explain why the author wrote it.)

a. The rebuke 1:1-11

Explain how the author challenges his readers, who he addressed, and why
this paragraph was included.

b. The response 1:12-15

Etc.
BE106OL—Acts & Pauline Epistles YARBROUGH, 5
Summer 2014

You should also include at the beginning of your paper a brief statement or discussion
of such introductory matters as authorship, date, recipients, occasion, etc., especially
as these relate to the setting and purpose of the book.

Include also a statement of the message of the book. The message is a summary
statement (usually one sentence) that should contain the main subject with which the
book deals, and a complement (what the author said about the main subject). For
example, one might conclude that the subject of John’s Gospel is Jesus. The
complement might be that (He) is the Son of God.

Also please include a summary paragraph to review the contents of your paper. Be
sure to include footnotes and a bibliography. Outside reading does not stifle
originality but encourages it.

An argument is much more difficult than a synthesis and therefore takes more thought
and time. Please plan ahead, study the book section by section, and meditate on it.
Constantly ask, “Why is this section of the text here?”

The book assigned for BE106OL is Galatians. The length is expected to be 10–15
pages (please no more than 15 pages). Students are strongly encouraged to consult
the sample arguments provided in the course files.

Interactions

There will be two interactions in which you will post a response to a discussion
question. You will also then respond to posts made by your classmates. This time of
guided discussion is designed to enhance your learning and develop a relationship of
community with your classmates. You are expected to post well-written and
thoughtful response to the question/issue at hand. Likewise, you are expected to reply
to at least three classmates with thoughtful responses, comments, constructive
criticism, etc. (Simply, writing, “Great post,” or asking questions does not constitute a
thoughtful response.)

D. Final Exam

The purpose of this requirement is to evaluate your comprehension of the divine

revelation.

You must take the final exam online within the time window that it will be available.
Do not discuss the questions on the final exam with anyone who has already taken the
exam or with anyone who has not yet taken it. You will be asked to affirm that you
have not done so and will not do so when you take the final exam. The Student
Handbook allows exceptions for exams only for illness or other personal emergencies,
not for weddings, mission trips, ministry commitments, or other events. Special final
exams must be completed early unless approval is obtained through the extension
BE106OL—Acts & Pauline Epistles YARBROUGH, 6
Summer 2014

procedure in the Registrar’s Office. See the Student Handbook for late exam and
course extension policies.
A review sheet for the final exam is available in the course files.

about what constitutes plagiarism, see A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses,
and Dissertations by Kate L. Turabian, seventh edition, section 7.9.

VI. COURSE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

A. BE106 Course Review Sheet

For a course content review sheet, please see the course files.

B. Biblical Interpretation Competency Criteria

So that the student is aware of continuing evaluation and assessment, the faculty is
discussing criteria for the student competency sought in the area of biblical
interpretation, as reflected in the chart below. Toward that end, the Bible Exposition
department has specified competencies that the student will develop and demonstrate
as a result of each course in the Bible Exposition core. For BE106, the department
specifies that the student be able to identify and present the argument of a Bible book.
The present course section allows the student to develop and demonstrate proficiency
toward that criterion. This criterion aligns with competency level 3, to be
demonstrated by students in all masters-level programs.

Biblical interpretation:
The student understands the Bible in its historical, literary, and
theological contexts in order to apply and communicate the
Scriptures.
Le The student is able to carry out inductive Bible
vel study by means of observation, interpretation,
1 application, and correlation.
Le The student is able to practice elements of
vel biblical study that reflect sound hermeneutics.
2
The student is able to interpret the Bible and do
biblical theology using a method that engages in
Le
the analysis and synthesis of Bible books and
vel
that reflects a broad knowledge of the content of
3
the entire Bible, together with historical and
theological influences.
The student is able to conduct exegetical and
Le biblical theological research in one biblical
vel language from multiple literary genres, and is
4 able to communicate its significance leading to
spiritual transformation.
The student is able to conduct exegetical and
Le biblical theological research in a second biblical
vel language from multiple literary genres, and is
5 able to communicate its significance leading to
spiritual transformation.

Summer 2014

C. Disability Accommodation Policy

DTS does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the operation of any of its
programs and activities. To avoid discrimination the student is responsible for
informing the Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities and the course
instructor of any disabling condition that will require modifications.

D. The Presence of the Professor

While the online learning environment is different than the live classroom
environment, your professor is still involved and available. You can expect your
professor to participate in the required interactions/discussions regularly and
substantially. You can also expect your professor to have at least 3 virtual live
“office hours”. Your professor will inform you of the times and means that these
will occur. Most professors will likely use the Chat feature provided by our online
platform at online.dts.edu.
