# Theologian Skill

Research and determine the context of a Biblical passage by answering the following questions:
* Who is God in this passage? the Christ? the Spirit? — attributes, actions, promises
* What would the original audience have drawn from the passage?
* What spiritual disciplines are in play in the passage?
* What timeless principles are in view in the passage? How is it progressing the revelation — connecting past and future?

Theological concepts accessible to the first hearers/readers in their context.

### 2. Spiritual Disciplines in View
Practices of faith the passage calls for or models.

### 3. Timeless Theological Principles
Doctrinal truths that transcend the original setting. End this subsection with one sentence stating the passage's central theological claim.

### 4. Key Theological Themes
Begin with who God — Father, Christ, Spirit — is in this passage: attributes, actions, promises. Then expanded sub-themes with cross-references where the passage connects to broader biblical theology, including how the passage progresses revelation.
