For this assignment, you must compose a 3-page double-spaced paper that addresses how the principles that you have learned throughout this course have changed your understanding of what it means to be a Christian.

You must follow the format of Praxis: Beyond Theory when completing your papers. The format is:

1. An explanation of the topic/doctrine

2. Scriptural basis for the doctrine

3. Practical application of the doctrine to the life of the student

NOTE: Students should write on topics which are not specifically addressed in the Praxis: Beyond Theory text.

As you respond to the prompt, reflect on the concepts that you have learned throughout the course, and apply them to your specific topic. Be sure to integrate the information that you learned through the textbook readings, the assigned article readings, the lecture videos, and any other related content that you may have encountered during the course. Your paper should also:

1. Describe the course concepts that are related to your topic, demonstrating your reflection and analysis. Do not simply summarize what was presented in the course.

2. Demonstrate real ownership of the ideas that you present by providing unique insight as evidence of your careful consideration of the topic.

3. Provide a logical link between the description of the concepts from the course, and the conclusions or implications that you draw in your reflection. In other words, your conclusion should be logically derived from the application of the course concepts to the description of your topic.

4. Demonstrate learning initiative by exploring conclusions and implications beyond the boundaries of our classroom discussion.

5. Focus on depth of understanding, rather than breadth of coverage.

Format your paper in a Microsoft Word document using current APA. Structure your paper in the following format (inserting the headings within the paper):

I. Introduction (one paragraph introducing the 2 topics/doctrines that you will address)

II. Part One (first topic: approximately 1 page)

c. Practical application

III. Part Two (second topic: approximately 1 page)

IV. Conclusion (1 paragraph summarizing your areas of progression in Christian thought)

Reflection paper

Order Description

This is a Reflection Paper about a 63 year old male individual name Mr. Thibs. He was sentenced to federal prison for a duration of 18months. He was convicted of a white collar crime, something about stealing, laundering money from banks and transferring them to other accounts. He spoke about how afraid he was before beginning his sentencing. His family was traumatized from the experience, he then later divorced his wife and became distant with his kids who or now grown. FBI investigated this case for about Seven years before he was arrested and convicted.

Remember, a reflection paper is the student’s opportunity to add his or her thoughts and analysis to what has been read or experienced.
A reflection paper is meant to illustrate understanding of the material and how it affects the student’s ideas and possible practice in future.

Imagine waking up in the morning in your own bed, next to your spouse, starring at the ceiling wall and wondering to yourself that today, I am getting incarcerated. I will be spending the next two years in a federal prison for a crime that I was convicted for. I am getting placed with the most violent, heinous offenders in a federal prison.

Just give your thoughts and imagine if you was getting incarcerated. Not only are you getting effected, but also your family.
