In this essay, you will write on the foundations of character formation and discipleship. You are encouraged to use the feedback from your instructor on the “Character Formation Essay: Annotated Bibliography & Outline” assignment in Topic 2 to complete this essay.

Part 1: Gospel Foundations of Character Formation

In Part 1, you will identify the formational attributes of the Christian narrative (or the gospel). What are the elements of the gospel story that are essential to a theology of character formation? How are those elements, and particularly the element of sanctification, foundational to understanding and experiencing character formation? You should use biblical references to support your points.

Part 2: Discipleship and Character Formation

In Part 2, you will build on Part 1 and explain how the gospel should affect one’s approach to discipleship. In the process of discipleship, how does one’s theology of sanctification relate to the practice of spiritual disciplines? How should the spiritual disciplines be practiced as means of grace? How does God use the spiritual disciplines to lead to character formation?

Part 3: Character Formation in Daily Life

In Part 3, you will build on Parts 1 and 2 and identify personal practices of spiritual disciplines that you will exercise. How will you practice spiritual disciplines, and how do you hope to experience character formation? What will change in your practice of the spiritual disciplines, either in terms of new disciplines or consistency or practice?

This essay should be between 2,500-3,000 words and requires the use of eight to ten academic sources from class readings or the GCU Library.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
