Essay Instructions: According to " theological integrity" by Rowan Williams, write your viewpoint, and explain it.
As a reminder, your first paper will begin with the following prompt: Rowan Williams' concept of theological integrity [insert active verb, cannot use 'is']... This first sentence will serve as your thesis and you'll spend the rest of the three pages making your argument with supporting points based off your analysis of Williams. You need not consult any outside sources for this paper. Or put another way, I?m looking for your critical reflection to this text rather than your ability to write a research paper with outside sources. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I have office hours after class tonight and can be also reached by email.
