Exegetical-Historical Paper!

In 5-7 double-spaced pgs., you will select one doctrine, development, or practice
from the ancient, medieval, or early modern Church and will assess it as to its
Biblical accuracy. The goal here is twofold, 1) to bring your exegesis to bear upon
Church history, and 2) to understand the power that historical circumstances play in
shaping our beliefs and practices. The paper will be organized into four parts, 1) an
introduction, 2) exegesis concerning the subject, 3) a consideration of the historical
circumstances that led to the subject, and 4) a conclusion. The goal of the introduction
is to clearly state your chosen subject (e.g., predestination) and whether it is Scriptural.
Next, your exegesis section (approx. 2 ½ pgs.) will set out to prove your argument from
Scripture (e.g., why predestination is or is not Scriptural). Here you will engage biblical
theology and the tools of exegesis, (i.e., commentaries, dictionaries, concordances, and
especially Accordance Bible Software) to defend your claim. (Ensure that you cite all
the sources.) Your next section (approx. 2 ½ pgs.) will then assess the historical
circumstances that led to the doctrine, development, or practice. If, for instance, the
Church leaders deployed something that has less basis in the Bible, why, then, did they
deploy it? Discuss the historical circumstances that led to this change or
implementation. Lastly, you will have a conclusion that restates your findings. For a list
of possible candidates for this paper, please consult the syllabus.
