Part 1: Project Plan

Submit a Project Plan, to include the following:

? Topic – Choose one: Mary, costly discipleship, the death of Jesus, the kingdom of God, or the Gentiles.

Thesis – What is the central message/argument of the paper? See the APU Writing Center resource Thesis Statements for help.

o The accompanying topic article found in the course;

o Two additional sources from the APU Library; see the APU Writing Center’s

Research Tips and Resources for suggestions about finding good resources. o NOTE: In APA style, classical works – including the Bible – are not listed in the

References page.

Only indicate the Bible version in the first citation; it is not necessary to identify each citation as NRSV.

? Outline – Organize the paper to address the following four assignment questions:

1. How does the topic (Mary, costly discipleship, the death of Jesus, the kingdom of

God, or the Gentiles) connect to the larger themes of creation, fall, and

redemption within the overarching story of the Bible?

2. What is important to know about the history, culture, and/or theology surrounding

this person or concept?
