Assignment: Theology
Instructions
Each "essay set" assignment comprises a set of 2 distinct essay question prompts designed to stimulate the student's thinking and assess the knowledge gleaned from the textbook and course reading. Each essay question should be answered with a 1 page double spaced essay, but compiled and submitted as a single document (2 essays for a total of 2-4 pages, double spaced). It is expected that the course textbook and assigned reading will qualify as the primary sources for writing essays; however, students are permitted to use other sources. Any sources quoted or used in the essay should be cited. Each essay is meant to answer a related group of questions, so it is important that you are thorough in answering the questions completely.
