Q Submit the completed analysis project into this file. Combine all the previous project assignments into one document. HOW TO WRITE THE PAPER: Length: No required page limit. Shorter and to the point is better. Suggested length is 4-6 pages double spaced. Content: Cover ONE point of your choice based on the research you have done. Style: You may use any style you are used to, but be consistent (APA, SBL, MLA or others …). Steps: 1. Choose one point for your paper topic. The topic for the paper could be the main point of the passage, or something that you found interesting, or something that is important to you, perhaps a current issue, or something that spoke to you personally. 2. Write this point in a form of a question. Here is an example how to change a topic sentence to a topic question: 1. Example – the topic: The Old Testament law still applies today. Example – the topic question: Does the Old Testament law apply today? 1. Write the title. Some students prefer to write the title at the end. Try to come up with something catchy and interesting. 1. Example – the title: Blind and Toothless World 2. Example Write an outline of the paper in the form of questions. Your outline should have at least 3 questions but a well written paper will have around 6-10 questions. These questions are steps towards the solution of your paper topic question. Do not give the answer at the beginning but rather solve it slowly, exploring every possible solution. Keep the reader interested and wanting to read more. If you give the answer at the beginning, there is no reason to read the rest. 1. Example – the outline: topic: What is sin? title: Blind and Toothless World text: Matthew 5:38-42. 1. Introduction 2. Is the quotation from the Old Testament or not? 3. Is Jesus saying that we can murder? (Mat 5:21) 4. Is Jesus saying that we can commit adultery? ((Mat 5:27) 5. Is Jesus saying that we can make false vows? (Mat 5:33) 6. If Jesus is making the Old Testament law even more significant, what is he saying about Lex Talionis law? 7. How is Lex Talionis law connected to the plan of Salvation? 8. Did Jesus keep the Lex Talionis law? 9. Should you and I keep the Lex Talionis law? 10. Conclusion and application for my life 11. Write the first paragraph, in which you clarify the problem, and clearly state the question you will solve in the paper. This is where you make the reader want to read more. 1. Example – the first paragraph: What is sin? The definition of sin today is very different from the definition of sin one hundred years ago. What people considered as evil is acceptable today. So what is sin? A simple answer is, “to do something bad.” However, we could ask, “what is bad and what is good?” We could say that the bad is doing something outside the law. But then we could still continue and ask, “which law?” These questions can go on and never end. The arguments and answers will change based on culture, age, ethnicity, or geographical location. In order to truly solve this issue, we have to find the root of the problem and explore the Biblical concept of sin. Based on the story of prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32, this paper will examine several possible solutions and provide a clear Biblical answer for the definition of sin. 2. Start writing the main body of your paper, answering the questions from your outline. Include only relevant data from your analysis. DO NOT include all the data from your analysis, as not everything will be applicable towards your main question. NOTE: I will take points off for every paragraph, that will cover extra materials, not related to the main subject. I know that you found a lot of interesting material, but not everything is applicable to your main paper-topic-question. 1. Feel free to include illustrations, your previous knowledge, or books and articles from other authors. IMPORTANT: provide reference for all the materials used. Include bibliography at the end. 2. In the final paragraph restated the question, write a short summary of the paper steps you took towards solving the main question (3-8 sentences) and finally write a clear answer to the question. 3. OPTIONAL: If you want and if applicable, you can include any of the following to make your paper even better: -personal application -contemporary significance -possible need for further study (your paper doesn’t have to give definite answer, it may leave some places untouched for further research. In fact, most good papers leave an area open for further research. At the end of your paper you can indicated what questions should still be explored further and are not clear from your study). Topic: What are human problems? Title: “The New Testament in the Holy Bible has all the answers to human questions”. Topic Question: Does the New Testament in the Holy Bible have all the answers to all the possible questions arising in the human minds while living the human lives? Text: Mark 12:1-12 1. Introduction 2. Is the quotation from the New Testament or not? 3. Is Jesus saying that usurping things of other human beings can be considered to be appropriate? 4. Is Jesus saying that beating of servants by other human beings can be justified? 5. Is Jesus saying that killing of human beings can be justified when views do not match? 6. Is Jesus saying that there must be revenge taken from individuals who have done wrong to someone? 7. Did Jesus provide a resolution to human problems and use the method of resolution in His life? 8. Conclusion and application for my life. What are human problems?
