The proposed research is expected to make an original contribution to our understanding of the Old Testament.”
The one-page proposals should be written in essay form with four paragraphs detailing the following elements:
1. The central question the research aims to answer.
2. A preliminary thesis.
3. A brief bibliography.
4. A brief statement of the writer’s experience or training.
Please include the following in the heading of the proposal: name, occupation, address, phone number, e-mail address and a working title. Proposals must be submitted electronically as an attached Word, WordPerfect or PDF document to patty_smith@byu.edu by April 28, 2008.
Submitters will be notified of their proposal’s status by June 2, 2008, after which, final drafts ranging from 15-25 pages will be due Oct. 6, 2008.
