In order to interpret the New Testament correctly, we must keep the cultural bac

In order to interpret the New Testament correctly, we must keep the cultural background of each writing in mind. This week, you will complete a project on the cultural background of a New Testament book. Choose a writing from the list below:
The Gospel of Mark
The Gospel of Luke
Romans
1–2 Corinthians
Philippians
1–2 Thessalonians
1 Peter
1 John
Part 1: Use your textbook (it will be helpful to look at the chapter related to the text you choose) and resources on the CCU Library to create an outline that answers the following questions:
When in the development of the church was this book or letter written?
Do we know where this letter was written? If so, where?
Who was the first-century audience of this work? (In other words, who was this work written to or for?)
What is the background of this work?
What is the setting of this work?
For what purpose was this work written?
Part 2: In a one- to two-page paper, reflect on how these findings should influence how you read the chosen work. Consider these questions:
How does considering the intended audience impact how you read and interpret the text?
How does the dating of this writing and its place within the development of the church impact how you read it?
How does knowing the setting and purpose of this work impact how you read and interpret it?
Your completed project should have one page of outline and one to two pages of reflection. Submit your project as one complete document. Your work should include one to two sources outside of your textbook. You should only use academic sources for this project. Study Bibles, books, and peer-reviewed sources on libguides.ccu.edu are acceptable. Wikipedia, Got Questions, The Gospel Coalition, and other Internet sites are not academic in nature and should not be used for this assignment.
