Paper Instructions:

The topic I picked is below AND THE iNSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED:


1.    A paper offering an overview of Paul’s view of the Law as shown primarily in his letters to the Galatians and the Romans.  Is the Law a problem?  Is it evil, good, indifferent?  What is the role of the Law in Paul’s gospel?

You must interact with at least 6 scholarly sources (e.g., journal articles, books, and commentaries).  Stay away from general, devotional, and sermonic sources including Bible dictionaries, encyclopedias, popular preachers’ sermons, study Bibles, etc.  You may use works by devotional writers including Ironside, Wiersbe, McGee, and others, but they will not count as one of your six required sources.  Full-text version of many scholarly journal articles are available through the Liberty University Library; any peer-reviewed article in the ATLA database is an acceptable source.  Keep in mind that much of the material you may find in places other than the Liberty University Library is outdated and popular, not scholarly.  Thus, if you wish to use Internet sources other than any found through the Liberty University Library, you must secure permission from the instructor first.  If you have any other questions about sources, please contact the instructor.

Somewhere in your paper, mention research that is applicable to Christians of today’s world.

Formatting: Keep the following in mind as you write your paper:
•    The paper must contain at least 12 but no more than 16 full-length pages with 12 pt. Times New Roman font, double-spaced text, and 1” margins all around.
•    Adhere to Turabian style in all other formatting details of the paper.  The instructor must approve the use of any other style.  The sample paper in Blackboard is provided for your help and is formatted in Turabian style.
Your final paper must contain the following parts, in order:
•    Title Page: Make sure it is properly formatted and contains the paper title, course/section number, your name, your student ID number, and the date.
•    Table of Contents
•    Introduction
•    Main body (with thesis statement and footnotes)
•    Conclusion (including one or two sentences summarizing the issues and mentioning issues raised in the paper that warrant future consideration)
•    Bibliography

The title page and bibliography do not count toward the required page total.

Grading:  Your paper will be graded partially for its depth, amount of interaction with the sources cited, and the form and quality of the scholarly content and sources.  An “A” paper must adhere to Turabian style, use the proper font size, and include a strong bibliography.  Consult the Research Project Rubric for further details on how you will be graded.

Keep a copy of your finished paper in case something happens to your submitted copy.
