Though I am partial to my own presentation and felt that mine was the best (: I also thought Sue made a few interesting points. Sue’s chapter was the Formation of the Canon and for her presentation, she mainly discussed the different judges and  the cycle of sin. The chart she gave for the cycle of sin was very funny in my opinion, because it is so true! This is basically the whole plot of the entire Old Testament. First there is peace, then the Israelites do something bad, God punishes them, they cry and ask for forgiveness, God gives us a new Judge and then there is peace again. In addition, I also liked her remark about the only female judge, Deborah, who is said to be the most powerful female figure in the Bible. This is very nice and refreshing compared to what we have seen in the past, like Sarah cheating Hagar and Dina getting kidnapped and raped. It’s nice to know that there are some women figures who are role models. This also makes me think of my own short book presentation. Like Deborah, Ruth is also a very strong female character and an ideal role model.
