What is interesting or significant about it? What sort of book is it? The discernment should reflect what you discern in the text to be of central importance and interest. It should reflect engaged and dialogic reading, attuned to the agenda discovered in the text. Listen carefully and openly. A good discernment will reveal you to a degree, and especially the text; it will reveal the fruit of your reading carefully this text at this time.Do not summarize the editor’s notes. (If you want to include some for convenient reference, fine, but note this. Beware plagiarism!)Do not either simply summarize the text (not enough of your discerning analysis) or simply offer your own opinions (not enough of listening to the text): aim for a dialogue, where you bring alive the voice of the text. Do your own reading and analysis and tell me what you see.
