курсовая работа на английском

a) Introduction: Begin your paper with an introductory paragraph that clearly states the topic of the paper and briefly summarizes its contents, including your theological center.

(b) Methodology: In 250 words, briefly present and justify your methodological approach, using the methodological categories discussed in class (i.e., text vs. event, criticism vs. canon, descriptive vs. confessional, and diachronic vs. synchronic).

(c) Theological Center: In another 250 words, describe, define, and briefly defend your theological center. 

(d) Theological Reading of Genesis: In 3000 words, present your theological reading of the book of Genesis in light of the center you have chosen. Do not merely summarize the text of Genesis, but instead assess and synthesize the text, using deductive research to reinforce your inductive analysis of the biblical text. So, make sure that you explicitly integrate insights from secondary sources (e.g., Old Testament theologies, commentaries, and journal articles, etc.) with your own insights in your paper. Undergraduate students should interact explicitly with a minimum of ten academic sources, and graduate students should interact explicitly with a minimum of fifteen academic sources.

If you would like more information on what it means to read the Old Testament theologically, and how you might go about doing so, please see “Reading the Old Testament Theologically” provided in the Theology of Genesis Paper Guidelines as well as the excerpt from Gary Edward Schnittjer, The Torah Story: An Apprenticeship on the Pentateuch (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2006) provided under Materials below.

(e) Conclusion: Finally, close with a concluding paragraph that once again states the topic of the paper and briefly summarizes its major points, including your theological center.
