1. An article (for the Wisdom class) is a more in-depth study of a particular problem on the Wisdom Literature in general or on specific text (or set of verses) in the Wisdom Literature

2. Such article is usually published in a reputable academic journal. Your article then must be found in the following journals (available at the Arnoldus Library):
• Biblica
• Biblical Theology Bulletin (BTB)
• Catholic Biblical Quarterly (CBQ)
• Irish Theological Quarterly
• Journal for the Study of the Old Testament (JSOT)

• Philippiniana Sacra (University of Santo Tomas Ecclesiastical Faculties)

3. A review is the technical term for an evaluation of a published article. For the Wisdom class, it means a two-page summary of the article and a one-page reflection. An article review then is a written essay in the student's own words about an article published in a reputable academic journal. This essay contains two things: a summary of the main points of the article (2 pages) and a critique or reflection on these points (1 page).

4. The paper must comply with the following formatting requirements:
