Ethical Decisions

MAKING MODEL ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

The focus of this paper is the integration of acquired knowledge to develop an ethical decision- making process/model for use in making biblically informed decisions in your personal ministry context. The final product should be more than a general, philosophic description of your ethical commitments. It is designed to help you articulate a practical model that you can use as a future guide for moral/ethical decision-making.

INSTRUCTIONS

You will formulate a process/model for making biblical decisions in your personal ministry context and summarize your approach in a 1,500-word paper in current Turabian format. Your model must be biblical in nature, using Scripture as a guide for rational decision making. A fully developed paper must:

• Demonstrate an understanding of ethical theory.
• Reflect a biblical worldview.
• Concisely integrate Scripture and ethical reasoning in a logical, coherent manner.
• Clearly describe the steps you will take to analyze an ethical issue.
• Explain how you will analyze ethical options that appear to be in conflict.
• Should contain a minimum of three scholarly sources (textbooks, books or scholarly articles).

This paper must be treated as a short research paper. It will be primarily judged on the coherence of the arguments/conclusions presented. The essay must demonstrate a master’s-level use of the English language. This assignment requires critical thinking, logical progression of thought, and appropriate organization. In addition, you must meet the following standards of style and form:

• Adhere to current Turabian format.
• Use 1″ margins on all 4 sides.
• Double-space your text.
• Use 12-point Times New Roman font.
