This is not a reflection paper espousing whatever ideascome to mind;it is a scholarly research paper. The goal of the paper is to unpackwhat the original creed writers were trying to communicate through the creed.You are unpacking their thoughts; youare not telling me about your own. You will need to use at least 7 scholarly sources (books and/orjournal articles) for each paper. Your Olson and Noll textbooks can be (but donot need to be) secondary sources. The Bible is not a secondary source. Checkwith the librarian for proper “secondary” sources; in short, they must bedirectly about the primary source, namely the Nicene Creed.The paper will be structured as follows:  Introduction (1 page)In this section you will outline the backgroundhistory of the Nicene Council and formation of the Nicene Creed. Use thissection to set up the content of the creed itself.  Body of the Paper ( 6 pages)In the main section of the paper, you will analyze the claimsmade in the Nicene Creed. This means unpacking what the original authors wereintending by the claims. Again, this isn’t your interpretation of the claims;this is researching and unpacking the original authors’ intent. In particular,I want you to analyze the following claims contained in the Creed:  “God, the Father, the Almighty”  “Jesus Christ…eternally begottenof the Father”“…true God from true God, of onebeing with the Father…”“He came down from heaven; by thepower of the Holy Spirit he was made man”“His kingdom shall have no end”“The Holy Spirit…who proceedsfrom the Father and the Son”“One, Holy, Catholic andApostolic Church”“the resurrection of the dead”Conclusion (approx.. ¾  page)In this section, I want you to evaluate the Nicene Creed.Does it have a purpose for today? Do the claims made in the Creed still holdtoday? What use should Christian make of the Creed, if any? How should theCreed function, if at all, for the contemporary church? Make sure that youdon’t just make statements; make sure to make arguments. If you make astatement, you need to back it up with an argument.  Scriptural Citations PageIncluded at the end of your paper will be a “scripturalcitations” sheet. On this sheet, include scriptural verses that support each ofthe claims of the Creed. For example, the Creed states, “God…maker of heavenand earth.” Where in scripture would we get such an idea? Provide a list ofscripture verses and the corresponding claim in the Creed. E.g.,“He came down from heaven” – John1:14Etc.,Your paper will follow the Chicago Manual of Style format(see website: www.chicagomanualofstyle.org). There is a “Quick Guide” onthe homepage for easy reference regarding proper citations of scholarlysources. The paper should be double-spaced, 12pt font, Times NewRomans, 1” margins on left and right, page numbers included in upper rightcorner. Footnote citations should be in 12pt font, single-spaced, 1’ marginsleft and right. You willbe graded on grammar, syntax, format, page length, proper secondary sources,depth of research, accuracy of claims and creativity of presentation.
