Prompts for better questions.

Use AI to organise an inquiry, then return to the sources.

These prompts are suggestions. AI output is not evidence. Verify every factual claim, quotation and citation against reliable sources.

Compare interpretations

Compare two named interpretations of this passage. Identify the claim each makes, the evidence each uses and the strongest objection to each. Distinguish historical claims from theological commitments. Do not invent citations. Mark anything you cannot verify.

Check an assumption

Help me identify the assumptions behind this argument about Jesus. Which conclusions follow from the evidence, and which depend on a philosophical or theological commitment? Suggest primary sources I should check, with uncertainty clearly stated.

Prepare a source review

Help me prepare questions for reading this source: who wrote it, when, for whom, in what genre and for what purpose? Ask what it can and cannot establish. Treat unknown details as unknown, and do not supply invented references.
