The three factors to consider when using historical criticism to analyze a text are:
A. Political events of the time
C. The original audience
D. Common beliefs of the period
Explanation: Historical criticism focuses on the context in which a text was created. Political events (A) can significantly influence the content and themes, understanding the original audience (C) helps in grasping how the text was received, and knowing the common beliefs of that period (D) aids in interpreting the text’s meaning. Applying themes to modern day (B) and language structure (E) are more about interpretation and analysis rather than the historical context itself.
