Writing Assignment for New Testament (Third Quarter)

Writing Assignment
Freshman Religion
Analysis of the First Epistle of St. John


For this paper, I want you to read carefully St. John's First Epistle. It's only five chapters, but those chapters are packed with theological insight. We will read and discuss most of this short work in class. In your paper, I want you to narrow your focus to one OR two points made in the letter, and then explain them more thoroughly in your paper. The length of the paper: 1.5-2.0 pages. The opening paragraph MUST have a central thesis. This introduction MUST be at least three sentences in length. I want you to quote from the letter, using appropriate line citation (1 John 2:10, for example).
