- Your
choice of bibliography will depend upon the passage you
select and the author you choose to emphasize. You will
work with the synopsis
we are using in class, and you will need to locate a good
commentary
on the Gospel you have chosen. Some good commentaries on
the Synoptic Gospels are listed below. Then you will need
to use the Religion
Index and/or New Testament Abstracts
to locate articles on your passage, as you did for your
first paper.
