Document Summary
Do not use footnotes; use in-text citation (author-date) with citation list at the end. Any citation style allowed, as long as no footnotes and consistent. Have a thesis statement that addresses the essay question. Maximize your analysis; don"t take up too much time on intro/conclusion. Impossible to date the hebrew bible (torah) We know queen esther was a really personbut we are unsure of older figures like mosesabraham is even older than moses. Abraham"s story is a representation of god"s delicate, changing relationship of negotiation (god would make covenants with humankind) I have made you a father of many nations - promise by god to be with the people who descend from abraham. Judaic history has evolved (first temple period, babylonian exile, second temple period ) Judaism is not a dead religion, it is alive and constantly being interpreted and examined. Some traditions reveal influences from persia and greece. There are more books than just the bible/torah mishnah, talmud, midrashim.
