## Assignments

### Follow the chapter
Read Genesis 6 in full. Mark who speaks, what is said about human conduct, and what Noah is told to do. Bring three observations with verse numbers. Which questions does the chapter leave unanswered?

### Examine Wayne’s opening argument
Read the public Heroes of Old excerpt. Write down his main claim and the step he takes from the English word “hero” to a claim about the ancient figures. What original-language evidence would you need to test that step? The excerpt is not the whole chapter.

Library reading boundary: Complete publicly displayed opening excerpt read; the rest of the chapter and book were not reviewed.

### Follow Heiser’s comparison
Read official transcript pages 3–6. Follow the proposed connections through Jude 4–8 and 2 Peter 2:4–6 in their chapters. Which wording is in those passages, and which part is Heiser’s reconstruction? These pages are a limited window into his argument.

### Test a modern claim
Begin with Doak’s introduction and opening giant-video examples, within the reading boundary below. Choose one claim about a discovery. What evidence is offered, and what would that evidence actually establish? If access fails, bring the missing source as a question rather than guessing its argument.
