o Jacobson, “Latin American Theology: León” pp. 104. - In a word document INCLUDE the following three sections:
a. Reading the Text (up to 15 points)
Read the following text carefully and include your notes in the assignment. Look for keywords and phrases, recurring themes, structural relationships, confusing claims, etc. At a minimum, the first page of this paper should consist of your notes. Part of the professor’s evaluation will be the physical evidence of your engagement with the text.
b. Asking Questions of the Text (up to 30 points) To get you started, the first question the reading has already been supplied (see Background question). In addition, you will ask 3 more questions about the text. Some of these may be questions of clarification (e.g., what does this word or phrase mean?), but make sure the majority are substantive questions. Do not ask questions to which the answer is already obvious to you. Also, do not ask questions that judge the text. The goal is for you to explore and learn more about the theology of the person you are studying. Here is the first supplied question:
- Background question: Who is the author of the text? Briefly describe the historical context in which they are writing.
c. Answering Questions (up to 30 points) - Compose brief answers to each of the four questions (one provided) and your additional three questions. You are encouraged to interact with your classmates. You are also free to use external resources (books, web, people, etc.), but be sure to do so critically. If you quote or reference such a source, be sure to properly cite it. But the purpose is for you to interact with the text for yourself. The professor will not be looking for correct answers, but for thoughtful attempts to answer questions.
