IBLICAL HEOLOGY LAN INSTRUCTIONS
This assignment allows for the application of theological terms to ministry development. It is
critical that students build their ministry event upon a foundation of biblical theology. The
student will incorporate key concepts from the theological terms defined for Journal 1 as well as
an adequate understanding of spiritual formation into their development and application of
ministry events.
Part 2 will require the student to submit a theology plan that will inform the student’s approach
to developing a ministry strategy and event. Based on the theological terms developed in Journal
1, reading from the Ecologies book, and key biblical passages, the student will develop an
integrative plan that informs ministry and event planning. The student will demonstrate how their
understanding of theological terms and spiritual formation informs and influences their ideas for
a ministry event. For example, how does an understanding of the image of God influence the
ministry event planning and execution?
Part 2: Biblical Theology Plan
For the Theology Plan paper, the following steps or components must be reflected. The plan will
reflect the following elements:
Step 1: Develop an adequate treatment of theological terms as they apply to ministry contexts.
Using some of the terms you defined, write out an approach to developing a ministry event that
incorporates these terms. For example, how does an understanding of anthropology influence
your ideas about a ministry event.
Step 2: Develop an adequate treatment of understanding and applying spiritual formation as it
relates to whole person transformation. This development should incorporate readings from the
Ecologies book, key biblical passages, and the student’s own experiences. This treatment should
inform how the student comes at an understanding of event planning and development.
Step 3: Summarize the plan by identifying how theology and spiritual ecology informs and
influences how the student will develop a ministry event.
This assignment must be 1,000–2,000 words, not including the title page and bibliography, and
must incorporate elements from the course readings to date. The paper should also incorporate at
least 3 biblical references. Current Turabian format must be used.
Submit the Biblical Theology Plan by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of
Module/Week 2.
