Using an annotated bibliography that has already been done and working within the given resources + adding more sources yourself.

I searched for “The righteousness of God in Romans” and came back with several different styles of paper. One paper I read comes much closer to the style of paper we need to produce here: https://www.academia.edu/15121785/Pauline_Theology_The_Righteousness_of_God

***Please see ALL documentation attached for this project and ask any questions prior to diving into the rewriting.***
Using the book of Romans in the BIble (NLT translation, please), conduct scholar level research and analysis of the biblical text and then explain the results of the biblical analysis of the passage or section and the theological theme that can be drawn from the passage or section of the letter.
Things NOT to do:
No “fluff” – filler material, redundant thoughts, etc just to fill up the pages – this is critical!
Half-hearted research and approach to the paper
Wait until the last minute – there will likely be edits/corrections
I am including the first writing of this project so you can see how yours should be different and more concise/coherant. I spent several hours correcting grammatical and spelling errors, finding missed citations and incorrecly done citations. The original writer was not helpful in this pursuit – hence this rewriting.
Additionally, there is feedback from my professor, which I have include as a document, about the thesis statement – which you will read in the first writing of this paper.
If you do not possess the aforementioned skills and have the familiarity of the topic and of scripture, please do not bid on this project. It is imperative that this paper is done correctly.
