Problems

NT1210 Students Fall 2005: Do only the first problem here.

Peter: The Unauthorized Biography | You are a popular biographer who has grown bored with exposing the unattractive characteristics of presidents, movie stars and professional basketball players. Your next subject is Peter, disciple of Jesus. Apart from all that "bishop of Rome" hype, who was the real Peter? What was he like during the time of Jesus' ministry? For the section you are currently writing, your sources are the canonical gospels. From the gospels, you will sketch several characteristics of Peter and then write part of a chapter to illustrate one of those characteristics. Go to Coaching Pages.

That Woman | You are an investigative journalist in the first century, covering the political scene in Palestine. (True, the absence of microphones, cameras, a free press and ready access to writing materials makes your work challenging, but not impossible.) Your beat is local politics, and on your beat, there's been another "bimbo eruption" connected to the local celebrity, Jesus of Nazareth. Your task is to find out everything you can about the woman for a profile to run in tomorrow's edition. Your editor wants the story a. s. a. p. Primary text is Luke 7:36-50.
