Synopsis

<p>While courses in Bible and theology typically require research papers, particularly at the graduate level, very few include training in research. Professors have two options: use valuable class time to teach students as much as they can, or lowertheir standards with the understanding that students cannot be expected to complete tasks for which they have never been prepared.<em>From Topic to Thesis: A Guide to Theological Research</em> offers a third option. This affordable and accessible tool walks students through the process, focusing on five steps: finding direction, gathering sources, understanding issues, entering discussion and establishing a position. Its goal is to take students directly from a research <em>assignment</em> to aresearch <em>argument</em>―in other words, from topic to thesis.</p>
