The Bible and Related Studies

 Pre-Reading
Theological writing often includes diagrams and charts. Because they contain
important information, the author assumes you will examine them carefully in order
to understand their content. It is often helpful to look at these diagrams and charts
before you read the written text, and then during the reading process refer to them as
needed
Based on Figure 1.1 on p. 24, answer the following questions.
1. What do you think the purpose of this diagram is?

3. For each new term you listed, write the page number where it is defined in the following
reading. Do not write a definition.
