A case study is an open-ended learning activity (i.e., a problem is presented that precipitates discussion) in which the participant must enter into the character of someone in a real-life situation and then reflect on what he/she would do in that situation. Read the case study associated with this discussion and then compose a thread expressing how you would respond to the situation described, noting especially the degree to which you agree/disagree with the central issue at stake in the case study; namely, the importance of understanding the setting and context of the original writer/readers for properly understanding and interpreting a biblical text.
