And it begins . . . SysTheo Q1 Mid-Term Test
See PowerPoint slide packs for a reminder AND there is a practice guide below.
Materials needed to write the SysTheo Hermeneutics Project Paper
See below for the samples and further instructions for writing your paper:
- PROCESS:
- Ask a Question. This is your topic
- Determine what authoritative resources will help you answer that question, and then resource them.
- As you are getting answers, organize the different answers into options. This is your division.
- Think about the options. Choose the one that seems most biblical/plausible/correct. This is your thesis.
- Make an outline and then write the paper (3-5 pages) that follows this format:
- i. Introduction – the “hook” of the paper that introduces your topic and question. It convinces us that it is an important question and why we should listen. (1/3 of a page)
- ii. Narration – the background material that will help the audience get up to speed with topic and move toward being able to understand your thesis. NOTE: this section DOES NOT include arguments for or against anything – just background data. (1/2 a page)
- iii. Division – a listing of all of the main options or views in answering your question. You should choose one and state it at the end of this section – that choice is your thesis. (1/2 a page)
- iv. Proof – the body of the paper proper that lists all the reasons why you chose the view you did. This section is only positive – no refutation of other views mentioned. (1.5 pages)
- v. Refutation – what was lacking in the other views that made you reject them. (2/3 of a page)
- vi. Conclusion – a general restating of the issue, the thesis, and potentially a call to action or thought. (1/2 a page)
