You should write a paper (3500-4500<\/a> words, excluding footnotes) that discusses either <\/p>\n

one of the five \u201cReformation Solas\u201d or one of the five \u201cDoctrines of Grace.\u201d You are free to <\/p>\n

choose which one of these ten articles of doctrine to discuss, but you should not try to address <\/p>\n

every aspect of the doctrine in your paper. Rather, the paper should have a narrowly-defined <\/p>\n

thesis that focuses on one aspect or element of your chosen doctrine. (For example, you might <\/p>\n

choose to write specifically on the self-attesting nature of Scripture as an essential element <\/p>\n

of the doctrine of Sola Scriptura.) The paper may argue for or against your chosen article of <\/p>\n

doctrine (e.g., if you do not agree with the doctrine of Particular Redemption, you may argue <\/p>\n

against it). Your paper should include all of the following: <\/p>\n

\u2022 A clear statement and explanation of the article of doctrine under discussion, with <\/p>\n

supporting references.<\/p>\n

\u2022 An argument either for or against your chosen article, based primarily on a responsible <\/p>\n

exegesis of relevant biblical texts. You are strongly encouraged to focus on two or <\/p>\n

three key texts, discussing them in some depth and drawing from scholarly exegetical <\/p>\n

commentaries to support your interpretations. You may also use arguments based <\/p>\n

on other doctrines (e.g., doctrine X is implied by doctrines Y and Z).<\/p>\n

\u2022 A treatment of at least two prominent objections to the position you have taken (i.e., <\/p>\n

the objections and then try to refute them). You should cite sources (either popular <\/p>\n

or scholarly) for these objections.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A discussion of some of the practical applications of the position you have taken <\/p>\n

(i.e., answer the question: what real difference does it or should it make in the life of <\/p>\n

a Christian believer?).<\/p>\n

\u2022 A standard bibliography (see below on sources and citations).<\/p>\n

Your paper will be graded according to the following criteria, in no particular order: <\/p>\n

responsible use of Scripture, responsible use of sources, extent of research, creativity, clarity, <\/p>\n

structure and coherence, cogency of argument, evidence of critical thinking, practical relevance, <\/p>\n

and good writing style (including grammar, spelling, and punctuation). Your paper should cite <\/p>\n

at least 6 scholarly sources. For the purposes of this paper, a scholarly source is a book or article <\/p>\n

by a recognized expert in the field (and not aimed at a popular level for a general audience). <\/p>\n

Please consult the professor if you have any doubts about whether a source is scholarly. You <\/p>\n

should not rely heavily on web-based sources. Use the library!<\/p>\n

The Professor of Record is available via the Student-Professor Forum to provide direction on <\/p>\n

formulating a good thesis and finding appropriate scholarly sources. The Global Librarian is <\/p>\n

available for assistance in accessing and navigating the library resources.<\/p>\n

The paper should be word-processed, not hand-written. Use a 12-point font and double <\/p>\n

line-spacing for the main text. Use section headings where applicable to improve readability. Use footnotes (10-point font) rather than endnotes. Use Turabian style for citations, footnoting, and <\/p>\n

bibliography. The paper should be submitted with a title page containing all of the following: <\/p>\n

the name and year of the course, your name, the professor\u2019s name, the title of the paper, and <\/p>\n

the exact word count for the paper (obtained from your word processor\u2019s word-count feature). <\/p>\n

The following rubric contains some of the key criteria by which your paper may be graded:<\/p>\n

1. Clear & Viable Thesis: The paper puts forth a viable thesis that is clearly stated <\/p>\n

and can be reasonably defended in a paper of the assigned length.<\/p>\n

2. Structure & Argumentation: The paper has a logical structure and provides <\/p>\n

appropriate argumentation in support of the thesis.<\/p>\n

3. Use of Resources: The paper uses the proper number and types of resources. This <\/p>\n

includes using diverse, quality resources in a responsible manner.<\/p>\n

4. Turabian Formatting: The paper is properly formatted according to the RTS <\/p>\n

Turabian guidelines. These guidelines can be downloaded within your course on <\/p>\n

the \u201cNotebook\u201d page.<\/p>\n

5. Depth of Paper: The paper has depth that reflects scholarly research, critical <\/p>\n

analysis, theological insight, and creativity.<\/p>\n

6. Presentation of Paper: The paper reflects good grammar, spelling, and <\/p>\n

punctuation, with clarity of expression and appropriate academic style.<\/p>\n

You will be penalized if you do not observe the requirements and guidelines above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
