OVERVIEW

You will write a major paper for this course one module at a time over the eight weeks of the course. The paper covers the topic “My Emerging Model of Spiritual Formation.” This paper will expose you to the required readings and viewings in the course as well as other outside materials that you locate. Writing the paper will develop your writing skills, your APA style usage skills, your ability to think biblically and practically about Christian leadership, and your critical thinking skills regarding the subject of spiritual formation. This particular assignment will prepare you to write your dissertation and equip you to submit acceptable writings for publication.

INSTRUCTIONS

Based upon your reading of Ecologies of Faith (chs. 9–12) and the PowerPoint presentation in Module 2: Week 2, begin to construct your biblical support for the salient issues and concepts identified in the Research Paper: Introduction and Overview Assignment. This must include exegetical analyses of pertinent texts you identify as supportive of your emerging concept of spiritual formation. You must write 3–5 pages (double-spaced in 12 point Times New Roman font). Be sure to include any material in the texts highlighted in Module 1: Week 1 that may be pertinent to your presentation for your biblical support. Edit this portion of your paper for typos, spelling, and grammar. Be sure to include the Introduction and Overview with your Part 2 biblical support submission and clearly mark each with a heading in your paper centered on the page. Be sure to make corrections to previously submitted portions so that you do not continue to receive point deductions for the same mistakes. You must follow current APA format as you write your paper.
