BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY – BIBLIOGRAPHY INSTRUCTIONS
During Module/Week 2, you will begin your Biographical Study by assembling a working bibliography of sources (both primary and secondary). You will use these sources for research on your chosen character.
In addition to the New Testament, you are required to cite a minimum of 6 scholarly, peer-reviewed sources identified that you plan to explore for information about your character (see the document “Scholarly vs. Popular Sources” for information on what constitutes a scholarly source).
At least 1 of those scholarly sources must be a scholarly commentary. All sources must be cited in current Turabian format.
See the Biographical Study – Bibliography Grading Rubric for details on how your Bibliography will be graded.
