A practical pattern atlas
Prepare teaching with accountable evidence
Build an explanation that another person can inspect, without outsourcing interpretive responsibility.
A teacher chooses a passage, intended audience and question.
Proposed flow
- Read in context
Read the coherent passage and wider book context before extracting a claim.
- Compare
Inspect editions, reliable lexical alignment and attributed perspectives.
- Collect evidence
Attach quotations, excerpts and media anchors to specific draft claims.
- Review the draft
Separate verified Scripture, source interpretation, AI suggestions and the teacher’s own conclusions.
- Export deliberately
Check quotation rights, references and audience; retain human ownership and a versioned source trail.
Recovery and alternative routes
An unavailable source or conflicting interpretation is shown explicitly. AI can assist a draft but cannot approve teaching or manufacture references. Private pastoral material is excluded unless deliberately authorised for this purpose.
What counts as a complete outcome
The teacher can substantiate the explanation and identify unresolved questions.
Decisions within this flow
A bounded passage with a route to wider context
Choose the reading unit by the task while keeping its boundaries and context visible.

Research-informed design proposalEngagement facets to specify
Possible situations: Teaching and preaching preparation, Theological and exegetical study. These are overlapping task contexts, not fixed user categories.
Specify the chosen purpose, passage unit, pace, participation, social setting, interpretive task, environment and disclosure or teaching responsibility. Use the scenario framework.
