(10 marks-REPLACES SECOND MAP QUIZ – Students who attended any of the Christ and Culture Lectures do not need to complete this section of the exam and will receive a perfect grade for the second Map Quiz in the Grade Book)  Rome:  During the New Testament, the Roman Empire was in control of Rome. The empire continued to grow and eventually grew to 2000 square miles of land that completely dominated most of the Mediterranean world. The effect of the empire was that it looked peaceful and safe; however, the whole empire was suffocating the rest of the world. The empire was also loyal because it offered land to soldiers and their families. Additionally, Rome was the capital of the empire that provided a home for one million people.  Capernaum  Capernaum was a small fishing village on the shore of the Sea of Galilee—about two miles west of the Jordan River. In Matthew 9:1, Matthew refers to Capernaum as the Lord’s own city. Jesus performed most of his miracles and sermons in Capernaum throughout his entire ministry. The people who lived in Capernaum made a living from fishing, agriculture, and trading. Jesus chose his many of his apostles around Capernaum (Peter, Andrew, John, James, Matthew, and the sons of Zebedee) as well. Jesus often stayed in Peter’s house and also preached in the synagogue.  Jericho  Jericho is a city located northeast of Jerusalem and it was the first city that the Israelites conquered, and it also happens to be the oldest inhabited places in the world. When Jesus was around, Jericho was known to be an oasis city filled with palm trees. Jericho was also a difficult place to live in because it was very rich and expensive—those who were poor struggled immensely and were often homeless. Jesus decided to take action and head to Jericho to preach to the people through God’s word.  Jerusalem  During Jesus’ life, the Israelites took rule over Jerusalem and were constantly rebuilding and expanding the city for the better. The Israelites renovated in a way to get the approval of the Romans and this allowed the Israelites to receive support and extra aid in their endeavors. Although the city of Jerusalem was large, the population was small—the actual size of it was similar to the capital. Jerusalem was located

next to a couple of towering mountains in the middle of Judea. This is where Jesus was convicted of blasphemy and was then crucified.  Ephesus  Ephesus is located where Turkey is today. It was on the western shores which made it a port city unfortunately dealing with many attacks throughout its history. In search of safety, many changes of control were made in Ephesus. As of today, there are still many ruins of the city that once was because they have been very well preserved. Mary spent the last few years of her life here and her house is still standing. John’s tomb is still there as well. 2. Describe in two paragraphs the content of any one of the following letters of Paul: Romans, Ephesians or Galatians. (5 marks) Paul’s epistle to the Romans was also the 6 th book in the New Testament. The main theme of the letter is that salvation is offered through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul argues that all. Of humanity should be held accountable to God for sin only thought the death and resurrection of Jesus—he says this is the only way that humanity can be saved. Romans was addressed to the Jews in hopes to clear up confusion about the purpose of law through Christ. The letter also reflects the universal outlook and how some are weak and how some are strong which refers to the Jewish and Christian Romans. Paul teaches that eventually, the Jews will come to their senses and show faith in Jesus which allows God to keep his original promise. After Paul wrote the letter, he passed it over to Phoebe because he expected her to be more welcome on her arrival than he would be. She had to bring the letter to Rome in advance of Paul’s arrival. Paul had anticipated that he would enjoy the presence of the believers and he had hoped to stay there for a while. He was seeking support from the Christian Romans for his mission to Spain. Overall, his letter to the Romans was a powerful illustration of the supremacy of Jesus Christ and how he was the ultimate source of salvation. 3. Summarize (describe 5 major features) the Historical Critical Method article as provided on Blackboard earlier in the semester and summarize (describe 5 major features) of the Principles of Biblical Interpretation handout also previously found on Blackboard. (10 marks) Historical Critical Method: - Many biblical scholars read the Bible and believe it to be false - This is the main way that the Bible has been examined and read in the last century - The goal of the historical critical method is to be as close to the original text and meaning as possible - Biblical scholars have been trying to find the scattered truth in the sea of false - This method states that the Bible should be treated like all other human writings which means it should be interpreted in a critical way by using reasoning Principles of Biblical Interpretation: - God is the primary author of Scripture - Scripture is inspired. God “breathed into” prophets and also worked through them. - Scripture is inerrant meaning it is written without any errors. - Scripture is clear—God is a good teacher; Scripture is God’s word, therefore, Scripture is clear.
