In 1000 words (maximum), discuss three different scholarly articles and their academic perspectives on a single topic. Topics can be of an historical, literary or political issue in the Bible, but modern interpretations should be avoided. Using a thesis statement as your argument, compare and contrast these three scholarly perspectives.

Questions to consider in your analysis: Is their evidence solid? Why or why not? Do the scholars lay out their arguments adequately?  Use sufficient evidence?  Explain themselves cohesively and coherently?  Is the scholars’ reasoning logical? What conclusions can be drawn about the academic approach to the Bible?
