Your paper must draw upon the writings of Church Fathers, scholars, theologians, and historians, as well as Scripture to present a concise overview of the topic along with a view to how to apply what you have learned in the context of contemporary ministry. This project, in many respects, will be merely a sampling—something to whet your appetite, so to speak, for further study. You will be expected to choose your sources judiciously. Works that are general histories or historical accounts should be counted as secondary sources. Works by the persons with whom you are dealing should be considered primary sources. Be sure you consult up-to-date scholarly journals. These can be accessed through the Liberty University Online Library Portal.

Remember to review the Liberty University Online Honor Code. Also read the section onplagiarism in the Turabian manual. You are writing not merely for a grade, but for the benefit of your entire class. Put your best effort into your research and your writing.
