GUIDELINES FOR A BOOK CRITIQUE I. A book critique is a concise summary and evaluation of the book The material should be printed , and double - spaced. It should not be more than five pages in length. II The book critique is to include (a) the biographical entry, (b) author information, (c) content summary, and (d) an evaluation.
A. Bibliographical Entry Example, single author: Krentz, Edgar. The Historical - Critical Method. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1975. Example, book, edition other than the first: Anderson, Bernhard W. Understanding the Old Testament, 4 th ed. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice - Hall, 1986. See the Turabian form and style manual for other examples of bibliography forms.
B. Author Information This section should be no more than two paragraphs in length. The purpose of this section is to identify the author (translator or editor) of the book. If available, present the author' s background, academic training, and practical experience. You can help a reader understand a book by describing the author. Contemp orary Authors or other biographical sources may provide author information.
C. Content Summary This section should be no more than four pages in length. The first sentence should be as comprehensive and inclusive as possible. Summarize the book in one sentence. The remainder of the summary will then be an elaboration of this sentence, sharing your understanding of what the book is all about. Be sure the summary covers the entire book. Do not be so detailed about the first part of the book that subsequent sections are not adequately dealt with. To avoid this problem, organize the summary carefully and logically. Also, do not get bogged down in specifics. The task is to summarize the entire book, not to focus on selected details.
D. Evaluation The evaluation is the most crucial part of the critique. T his is not a summary of the book' s content but a critical evaluation of what the author has to say. React to the book both positively and negatively. Because books, like people, are different, one cannot impose predetermined critical questions on the book. The following questions are often used for evaluation: What is unique, significant, or interesting about the book? Does it contain unusual historical, theological, or literary traits? What bias es (theological, philosophical, denominational, etc.) are evident? What does the book/author teach us? What are some of the strengths of the book? What are some of the weaknesses of the book? What concepts can be implemented in ministry (teachi ng, etc.)? Avoid generalities such as "Every person (minister, teacher, etc.) should read this book"; or "this is a (good, bad) book.
