RESEARCH PAPER: FINAL SUBMISSION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
An integral part of the learning process includes the ability to think critically and to evaluate
various positions. For this assignment, students will write a paper defending the Christian faith,
particularly centering on a defense of miracles and/or the resurrection of Jesus against critical
approaches.
INSTRUCTIONS
You will write a research-based paper that critiques a specific critical approach to the
resurrection or develops a positive case for an aspect of the resurrection. The paper should
include a cover page, table of contents, introduction, thesis, conclusion, and bibliography.
• Length of assignment – Maximum of 10-12 pages
• Format of assignment – Turabian
• Number of citations – 10 sources
• Acceptable sources – Sources should be scholarly and up to date (within 5-10 years) and
should consist of academic journals and books. Websites, blogs, and popular level works
should be avoided.
Paper Topic: The paper’s topic should be narrowly focused. The paper should respond to a
specific critical approach to the resurrection (such as a single a priori challenge to miracles in
general, or a single a posteriori critique of the resurrection), or it should develop a positive case
for an aspect of the resurrection. Below are examples of paper topics to consider.
A Priori Critical Approaches to Miracles:
• Not Enough Evidence

A Posteriori Critical Approaches to the Resurrection
• Myth/Legend Hypothesis
• Hallucination Hypothesis
• Fraud (The Disciples Stole the Body) Hypothesis
• Apparent Death/Swoon Hypothesis
• Objective Vision Hypothesis
Positive Case for an Aspect of the Resurrection
• Jesus Died by Roman Crucifixion
• The Disciples Believed that Jesus Appeared to Them
• The Conversion of James
• The Conversion of Paul
• The Empty Tomb (Note: as a minimal fact)
• The Retrospective Argument – From Miracles to Christian Theism
• The Prospective Argument -From God to Miracles
