Make sure that the subject and verb of each sentence agree.

What is a thesis statement?
A thesis statement is your claim that answers the question being asked.
It should be the final sentence of your introduction.
The rest of your paper, that is, the body paragraphs must be designed to defend your thesis statement.
The thesis statement (and the paper itself) needs to be written in active voice, not passive.
What is a topic sentence?
A topic sentence defines what a body paragraph will talk about and how that paragraph will help defend the thesis.
What makes an argument and a paper good?
It defends the thesis with credible and persuasive evidence.
The best evidence always comes from the source itself. In this case, the best evidence derives from the biblical text.
It is written with complete sentences that have proper spelling, punctuation, grammar, and syntax.
It has proper transitions from sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph.
It has an introduction that prepares the reader to understand the the thesis and the argument.
It has a conclusion that restates the thesis, summarizes the argument and provides one final application.
It footnotes all non-biblical references according to Turabian standards. Please do not use endnotes.
It uses parentheticals for all biblical references: (Gen 12) or (Gen 13:1) or with an exact quote of a particular translation (Gen 15:6 NASB).
