Short paper: Reformed Christian and Early Modern
Secular Bodies Politic
Assignment Instructions
Overview
You will be
required to draft 2 short research papers. The papers must each be at least 2 double-spaced
pages (not including the required title page and bibliography), in current APA
format, with default margins and in 12-pt Times New Roman font. Your papers
must include citations to adequate sources supporting and/or illustrating your
positions.
Do not let the short length requirement of the papers
mislead you. Concise writing is often more demanding than expansive writing.
The goal of the papers is not merely to offer unfounded opinion or subjective
discussion of the topics, but rather to provide a concise, well-reasoned
analysis of the topics presented.
This is an open research project, meaning that you are
expected to locate, use, and cite support outside of the course readings.
Superficiality is a danger with this topic as it would be easy to write 2 pages
without reaching the substance of the discussion. Better papers will
demonstrate that you sufficiently pondered the ideas at issue to understand
them, recognize them, and develop a well-reasoned approach to them.
Be sure to closely read the grading rubric for the
assignment and note that at least 5 scholarly sources (peer-reviewed academic
journal articles or books published by university presses), one of which must
be the course text, are required.
Scriptural excerpts with citations are required in all
written assignments.
