Thorsen, Don. An Exploration of Christian Theology

First Position Paper (150 pts): Choose to write about an issue found in the first half of the course, dealing with issues such as revelation, authority, scripture, God, Trinity, creation, humanity, sin, and Jesus Christ. In arguing for your position, you need to contrast your position with at least one alternative position on the issue you discuss. Although this is a theology paper, you should talk about the relevance of scripture for the subject matter. You don’t need to do additional research for the paper (beyond the textbook), though you may do so if you want. Be sure to include correct APA notations for your references to sources, and include a reference list at the end of your position paper.

Note: Aim to show depth of thought in your writing. Show your understanding of the concepts in the reading. In other words, the position paper should be both text-oriented (what you observed in scripture and the readings) and reader-oriented (what you experienced personally). Do not write in generalities! Never simply say, “I enjoyed the reading.” Always tell explain why! Be specific in your discussion.
