Details: For each critique, find a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal article about 10–20 pages long that covers an area in this course. A few peer-reviewed journals are the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, Bibliotheca Sacra, Grace Theological Journal, and the Westminster Theological Journal. Since magazines (e.g., Christianity Today, Visions, etc.) are not considered scholarly, they do not contain appropriate articles to critique. In addition to the journal article being critiqued, one outside source is required
Read the article you select and then write your 2 to 3 page critique. You are expected to read the articles with a critical eye and to interact with the author’s theology and worldview. Since you are not considered an authority, you must withhold personal references, opinions, attitudes, and values from the critiquing process. Instead, follow this template when writing each critique:
I. Title Page
II. Contents Page (Section headings should be as follows: Introduction, Brief Summary, Critical Interaction, Conclusion, Selected Bibliography, See T., pp. 397-98)
III. Body of Critique Includes the Following Sections:
A. Introduction (1 paragraph)
1. Provide a purpose statement.
2. Provide a brief overview of the paper’s contents.
B. Brief Summary (1 paragraph)
1. Capture the thesis of the article.
2. Share the overall content of the article.
C. Critical Interaction (1–2 paragraphs): The following questions maybe considered when writing the critique section.
1. The point is not whether you agree with the author’s point of view, but that you recognize what the author is discussing and what theological issues are at stake.
2. It is important for you to document your assessment of the author throughout your critique. If you evaluate the author’s opinion, give an example along with an endnote to designate outside sources where the opinion can be observed.
3. What prompted this theologian to write on this theological/philosophical topic?
4. With what theological and biblical perspectives does he/she approach the subject?
5. What is the author’s goal?
6. Has the author developed his/her thesis logically?
7. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the author’s arguments?
8. What are some applications that arise from this article?
D. Conclusion (1 paragraph)
1. This is where you summarize your research by conveying how well the author achieved his/her goals. Very briefly summarize your evaluations here.
2. Does the author leave you with any questions? If so, what are they?
IV. Selected Bibliography or Works Cited page
The 2 to 3 page requirement refers to the Introduction, Brief Summary, Critical Interaction, and Conclusion sections. It does not include the Title, Contents, or Selected Bibliography pages. If you do not meet the 2 to 3 page requirement for section III, points will be deducted accordingly.
Formatting Requirements: Make sure your critiques are formatted in the following manner:
• Follow Turabian style (as specified in the Turabian manual) for the critique.
• Use footnotes to document research statements.
• Use 1” margins all around.
• Make text double-spaced.
• Use 12-point Times New Roman font.
• Indent the 1st line of a paragraph ½ inch.
