“Thesis Topic”
Jesus’ crucifixion demonstrates to us that love triumphs over death.
Paper must show evidence
of in-depth consideration of your topic and must attempt to explain the topic’s relevance
to yourself and your worldview. You need not agree with the “traditional” view, and
should draw our own conclusions based upon your research. The focus is for you to research
and ask the hard questions about yourself, beliefs and draw your own conclusions. This
means taking time to read your sources enough to form an educated opinion. The
objective is to see “you” in the paper, and to ask what significance does this have for

Accurately cited sources (APA, see little brown handbook), For Bible
citations, just use chapter and verse, long quotes are not necessary.
NO plagiarism, this includes usage of websites, online commentaries, or
thoughts and ideas that are not your own. If any of the above is used, it
must be carefully cited and used sparingly in the paper.
4 or more accredited sources, properly sited.
