THEO 104
My two topics:
1. Preservation of Scripture
2. Rapture
Reflection Paper Instructions
For this assignment, you should compose a 3-page double-
spaced paper that addresses how the principles that you have
learned throughout this course have changed your understanding
of what it means to be a Christian. You will submit your first
paper in Module/Week 4 and your second paper is Module/Week
8.
You should follow the format of Praxis: Beyond Theory when
completing your papers. The format is:
1. An explanation of the topic/doctrine
2. Scriptural basis for the doctrine
3. Practical application of the doctrine to the life of the student
As you respond to the prompt, reflect on the concepts that you
have learned throughout the course, and apply them to your
specific topic. Be sure to integrate the information that you
learned through the textbook readings, the assigned article
readings, the lecture videos, and any other related content that
you may have encountered during the course. Your paper should
also:
1. Describe the course concepts that are related to your topic,
demonstrating your reflection and analysis. Do not simply
summarize what was presented in class.
2. Demonstrate real ownership of the ideas that you present by
providing unique insight as evidence of your careful
consideration of the topic.
3. Provide a logical link between the description of the concepts
from the course, and the conclusions or implications that you
draw in your reflection. In other words, your conclusion should
be logically derived from the application of the course concepts
to the description of your topic.
4. Demonstrate learning initiative by exploring conclusions and
implications beyond the boundaries of our classroom discussion.
5. Focus on depth of understanding, rather than breadth of
coverage.
Format your paper in a MS Word document using current APA,
MLA, or Turabian style (whichever corresponds to your degree
program). Review the Reflection Paper Grading Rubric to see
the specific grading criteria by which you will be evaluated
before submitting your paper.
Structure your paper in the following format (inserting the
headings within the paper):
I. Introduction (one paragraph introducing the two
topics/doctrines that you will address)
II. Part One (first topic: approximately one page in length)
a. Theological Definition
b. Biblical Foundation
c. Practical application
III. Part Two (second topic: approximately one page in length)
a. Theological Definition
b. Biblical Foundation
c. Practical Application
IV. Conclusion (one paragraph summarizing your areas of
progression in Christian thought)
V. Grading Rubric (this must be copied and pasted into the end
of your paper)
