Major papers should focus on a particular (approved) aspect of (or topic in) the history of early Christians/Christianity. Papers should reflect familiarity with the history of research on that (particular) topic and provide the reader with a critical and chronological overview of that topic’s significance in the history of Christianity (from antiquity to the present). Papers would thus ideally focus on and frame a particular problem, question, or contested site in the study of Christian origins. Papers should be no less than 10 pages (not including title page or bibliography) and include at least five scholarly sources. A peer-reviewed scholarly source is either published in a journal or book. Papers should be double-spaced, in Times New Roman, using 12 point font (except for footnotes, in 10 pt). Chicago Style Formatting (w/footnotes and bibliography).

This is an argumentative paper where a thesis should be clearly developed.

The topic of my paper is on “Paul and His Opponents.” For example, what was their problem? What did they oppose? What is the story/stories behind the historical events which occurred? Who are Paul and His Opponents and how did they impact Christians/Christianity? Please answer the question in the guidelines. There needs to be five scholarly sources, which I will be providing and attaching. Please use all of them.
