When you identify a passage, assume that your reader is unfamiliar with the work from which it was drawn; writing “This passage is in Plato’s book” is not sufficient. Plato wrote many boos; your reader may not know which one you are referring to. Be sure to briefly review Plato’s life and his work. You may wish to include a few historical facts in order to orient your reader. However, do not include anything that is not relevant to the passage under consideration. And finally, don’t cite a passage merely by referring to a page number. Assume that your reader’s edition of the work is not the same as yours. It is more useful to say, “ This passage is found in Part 1, chapter 4of …..” or words to that effects.

THE PENTATEUCH
This refers to the first five books of what we commonly call the Old Testament, or the Hebrew Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). By tradition, they are attributed to Moses (circa 1300 BCE). I prefer and will refer to the King James translation (1611), but any translation you prefer is fine for this class.The Holy Bible – King James Version (KJV) Kindle Edition: Free with an Amazon account.King James Bible with VerseSearch – Red Letter Edition Kindle Edition.
