Review worksheet

Brief reading exercise

JSB apparatus -- intro remarks

  • How to find the author of the annotations? (margin notes)

    • Literary criticism and intertextual info, example on p.15
    • Key concepts, e.g., covenant at 7:18
    • Religious analysis, e.g., Jewish interpretations (see Genesis 12)

Coogan ch.4 -- critical theory

  • Why? p.56: "the repetitions, the inconsistencies, and the contradictions"
  • Doublet examples.
  • Box 4.1 on p.53 God's POV and beastly pairs
    • JSB p.20 at 6:19-20 Levenson sees the pairs as a contradiction
  • WP example: Preparing the ark does not mention sources, yet Great Deluge section does.
  • Nuances or challenges
  • Additional sources besides 4
  • Hexateuch hypothesis
  • What led up to each of these sources? What is a source is not ancient but antiquarian?! (56)
  • Key terms and concepts
  • Form criticism is mentioned (57)
  • Creativity in combining the sources: redaction criticism
  • Linked sources: D and Dtr, P and Ezekiel

Coogan ch.5. A few key points

  • J issues
  • Humans loss of easy connection to the soil
  • Boundary-blurring: eat fruit to be like gods, sex with sons of God, and tower of Babel
  • Wicked people, Cain, Flood, Gen. 8:21 (evil inclination)

Agenda: 3:10 pm
WP assignments: Now and next steps

Show and discuss proposed sentences -- i.e., gaps to be filled with Coogan (or JSB)

Questions about these steps?

  • Finish your Talk page and Sandbox edits -- show your Team your references, your proposed sentences, and in which article(s) the sentences could be added.
  • Step 5: Start talking! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ProfGray/ExerciseIntroEdit#Step_5:_Introduce_your_ideas_and_role_on_Article_Talk_page.28s.29:_Week_3_by_Wednesday.2C_Feb._11 see the assignment]
  • Step 6: Best if teams do a quick peer review. Is the paraphrase too close? Is the reference fine? Does it belong in the article?
  • Team coordination this week -- peer review
  • Team coordination for next week -- divide up the Wife-sister academic articles
