Instructions

Based on the presentations for this module and the readings assigned from Trueman, Histories and Fallacies, examine your research topic in terms of the key weaknesses of historical interpretation the LUO historians and Trueman describe. For example, what problems might you face? Does your topic lend itself to specific historical fallacies described by Trueman? Are your research questions too big or grand? Is your topic framed from the standpoint of a philosophy of history, whereby the “end” or result of your research questions are already determined by an ideological, theological, or scientific preconception?
