 Meet the Problem
You meet an Into the New Testament problem
by reading the scenario provided it, along with any initial accompanying
documents mentioned in the scenario.
Where to Meet the Problem
Where do you find problem scenarios? You can link to them in two places:
the Lesson Grid and the Scripture
Index.
 Lesson
Grid
With ten skills to practice and eight divisions of New Testament literature
to read, Into the New Testament has
80 "problem areas" for you to choose from. These are all
linked to the Lesson Grid. On the
grid, click the cell that represents (1) the skill you want to practice
and (2) the type of literature you want to read. The link takes you
to a list with short descriptions of a few problems built with that
skill and literature choice in mind. Click the problem's title to read
the whole scenario.
 Scripture
Index
Is there a particular New Testament text you are interested in studying?
You can find out whether it is the primary text for an Into
the New Testament problem by checking the Scripture
Index. All problems are listed in the index by the book of the
New Testament in which the problem's primary text appears.
Tips for Meeting the Problem
Notice Linked Materials | Scenarios
may have additional documents built into them by links. Follow the
links for more information. These materials beyond the first page are
important for determining what you know and what you need to know.
Figure that There's More | As often
happens in the real world, here also new information about your problem
will likely meet you after you are in the midst of figuring the problem
out. Don't expect to have every important bit of information included
in the opening scenario. (I promise that these problems will not toy
with you any more than the ones in real life do.)
Read the Bible | Each problem includes
a link to the primary biblical text in the NET translation.
(This is true unless part of the problem is finding the text.) In addition
to reading online, you will probably want to open a study Bible and/or
a Greek text and read throughout your problem-solving process.
Meeting the Problem Again | As you
go through the pages associated with a problem, you will find a link
on each to "view problem in a new window." Click on this
anytime you want to look back at the original problem scenario while
you work. You can resize this popup window if you want to keep it open
alongside another page you are working in. The window includes a print
option too.
Remember GRaSPS | The five capital
letters stand for Goal, Role, Situation, Product/Performance and Standards.
If you can answer questions about each of these, you will have a good
understanding of the problem:
- In this scenario, what is the goal? To what is the work driving?
- What is my role in the scenario?
- What is the situation I find myself in?
- What product or performance is expected of me in the scenario?
- By what standards will that product or performance be judged?
