Saint Leo University Bible of Love Essay

Thematic paper:  

        Trace one of the biblical themes from the list below noting developments of that theme in Old Testament and in the New Testament.  Show how New testament writers reinterpreted the theme. Show the continuity in the development of the theme as well as any changes in meaning. This paper must be accompanied by an outline. Length: 750-2000 words.

For the thematic paper restrict your research to the bible, or to any of the books on the course bibliography, those with an asterisk.

The  paper needs to be well documented; be certain to distinguish between paraphrase and quotation. 

Papers would benefit from an outline. If a paper cannot be outlined, the organization is bad

Paragraphs should have a topic sentence and paragraphs should be related to an overall purpose expressed through a thesis sentence.

Everything should be cited using MLA
