Identify at least 3 primary points or conclusions that the authors make.

Part 1: Begin this activity by completing the following readings:

Currid, Against the Gods (Links to an external site.), Chapters 111
Weeks, The Ambiguity of Biblical Background (Links to an external site.)
Weeks, The Bible and the Universal Ancient World: A Critique of John Walton

Part 2: Once you have completed the readings, write and submit a reading digest of the assigned reading, summarizing the key points of the readings and offering critique and reflection on what has been learned. Your digest should be succinct, specific, and substantive; no fluff or generalization will be accepted. In your summary, be sure to:

Identify at least 3 primary points or conclusions that the authors make.
Summarize the evidence or argument that the authors make to support them.
Provide an evaluation and reaction to the reading. How persuasive are the authors? What extra information do you wish they included? Were their arguments coherent, logical, and well-supported? If not, what weaknesses do you see in their points? How have you been prompted to think in new ways?
Your reading digest should be at least 500 words and double-spaced. Please note: you may not submit digests for sections you have not read, so the digest also functions as a declaration that you have completed the readings.
