Instructor Feedback on First Draft
As a first draft, this contribution falls short. (This would not pass if submitted for the final draft.) You do have some good starting points in the biblical evidence you found.
Things to work on:
1. Actually write paragraphs that expand on what the biblical evidence means (this should be done in conjunction with steps 3 & 4 below)
2. Bring in more dialog partners from extra research & incorporate them into your paragraph discussions
3. Look up more of the biblical evidence
4. Look up technical commentaries on the biblical evidence: e.g., commentaries from the NIV Application Commentary Series, the Word Biblical Commentary Series, the New International Commentary on the New Testament Series, &/or the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament Series.
If you are able to get your hands on these resources, I believe they would help you greatly (more than many other resources you could find, though I am sure there are other excellent ones as well):
Salvation: Understanding Biblical Themes By: Joel B. Green Chalice Press / Paperback
By Faith Alone: Answering the Challenges to the Doctrine of Justification By: Gary L.W. Johnson, Guy Prentiss Waters Crossway Books & Bibles / 2007 / Paperback
Rereading Paul Together: Protestant and Catholic Perspectives on Justification By: David E. Aune Baker / 2005 / Paperback
Justification: What's at Stake in the Current Debates By: Mark Husbands, Daniel J. Treier Inter-varsity Press / 2004 / Paperback
(I found them by just doing a quick key word searches on salvaton & justification on the website of Christianbook.com & quickly evaluating which resources seem most promising based on what I know about the topic & the authors of the resources)
If KCU's library has one or more of these books, be sure to look them up. If not, see if they can get the books to you through interlibrary loan quickly.
