This next section of your paper should wrap up your analysis of the scripture text with the
following items to be treated.
In the body of the paper,
you broke down the scripture text into its component elements and
carefully analyzed each part. In this first section of the Conclusion of the paper, now put the
scripture text back together into a whole by summarizing the main point(s) you've understood from
the text. Again, concentrate on the "then" meaning of the scripture text in this first paragraph of the
Conclusion. Does the text inform you about some important belief in the Christian religion? Does it
encourage its readers to adopt a certain pattern of behavior or lifestyle?
Once you have adequately
summarized the historical meaning of the text, then finish the
Conclusion by expressing what you have personally learned from doing this analysis paper. New
methods of Bible study? Insights about the Christian religion? Encouragement to change your
lifestyle? A wide variety of things is possible to discuss here.
This section of your paper
should not go beyond two pages in length.
