In research and development institutions, a “white paper” is a compact synopsis of a given subject. For each of the OT books covered this semester,

students will create a detailed 2 page white paper after reading that OT book twice. Each 2 page white paper should briefly cover the following issues:

background, date, context, a comprehensive textual outline, key theological concepts from the book (in detail), key verses from the book, and each

should aim at presenting the information in the clearest didactic sense possible. Each white page should be a tight and full document utilizing as much

space on the 2 pages as possible and should utilize at least 3 scholarly resources (besides our textbook), cited in an appropriate manner. Think of your

WPs as a “cliffnotes” to each OT book.

The purpose of these WPs is to give a comprehensive overview of each OT Book in a compact way. WPs are teaching documents. A successful WP will

be both comprehensive and didactic, where someone without much background studying Biblical documents could pick up a WP and teach an overview

of the book. WPs need to consider careful communicative strategy, and for that reason should be aesthetically appealing. Simple black text on a white

page is unacceptable. WPs should be well organized, use a consistent visual aesthetic and present the most pertinent Biblical material clearly.
