Final Essay Instructions

Biblical Worldview Core Competency

You will write a 600–1,000-word Final Essay addressing the following topic:

Foundational to the Christian faith is the belief that God is actively involved with His creation. Explain how this belief affects the way we interact with people within a chosen vocation?

Two points of clarification may be helpful:

1. The word belief in this assignment is essentially synonymous with the word doctrine. 2. It would be wise to select the chosen vocation that you intend to have upon graduation.

As was true for the Short Essays, use double-spacing, 1-inch margins, and 12-pt. Times New Roman font. In addition, your essay must follow current APA, MLA, or Turabian style (whichever corresponds to your degree program; the style used must be clearly indicated by using the Final Essay Template). You must include a bibliography. The body of your essay must be 600–1,000 words, not including your name, course and section number, essay title, word count, footnotes and bibliography. Review the Final Essay Grading Rubric for this assignment (provided in a separate document in the Assignment Instructions folder) to understand how this essay will be graded.

• Knowledge: You identify and describe 1 or more key biblical passages to support the doctrine.

• Integration: You identify meaningful points of connection between 1 or more biblical passages and vocation.

• Implementation: You apply 1 or more biblical passages to specific scenarios within the chosen vocation.
