Talk:KCU/03/Team Lambo

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 promising dialog partners.

Things to work on:

1. Which topic is Team Lambo working on? Three group members are writing on assurance of salvation while one is working on how the poor in spirit are blessed. According to my records, it is supposed to be how the poor in spirit are blessed. Does the group want to change topics?

2. You will want to clearly distinguish when you are quoting from a resource, when you are summarizing or paraphrasing a resource, & when you are making your own point, but pointing out to your readers that a resource says something similar separately (you wrote your point first, but found this resource saying something similar later).

3. Look up biblical evidence (Note: The Bible does have instances of many men, even godly men, with multiple wives. See for example Abraham & David in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, we have an implicit recognition that some Christians had multiple wives when the stipulation for elders to be husbands of one wife is given. So, Christians did begin to recognize that God intended marriage to be between one man & one woman, but this came after Jesus' ministry & was not yet completely enforced even during the time the New Testament was being written by the apostles.)

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

5. Clean up the formatting
