Description
Research Paper Requirements
Without ones’ own understanding of the purpose of suffering, crisis responders cannot truly offer emotional and spiritual care in disasters and provide comfort and direction to others in their suffering and pain. The student must compile an original paper of 12 pages of body text, in current APA style that begins by explaining the student’s own personal theology of suffering. The student must use commentary and biblical references to support his/her position. In addition, the student must explain how they would consult with a congregation to set up a plan of preparation for pre-incidence disasters. Utilizing information presented in the textbooks as well as theoretical and practical elements from academic and Christian sources, the student must describe how they would foster resiliency in the pastor and the congregation. A minimum of 10 scholarly sources (books and journal articles) is required in addition to the textbooks (if the student chose to cite these). Grades will be assigned based on the quality of content, how well APA guidelines are adhered to, the richness of citations utilized, quality of expression, and biblical integration presented.
