    About this ebook

    While courses in Bible and theology typically require research papers, particularly at the graduate level, very few include training in research. Professors have two options: use valuable class time to teach students as much as they can, or lower their standards with the understanding that students cannot be expected to complete tasks for which they have never been prepared. From Topic to Thesis: A Guide to Theological Research offers a third option. This affordable and accessible tool walks students through the process, focusing on five steps: finding direction, gathering sources, understanding issues, entering discussion and establishing a position. Its goal is to take students directly from a research assignment to a research argument—in other words, from topic to thesis.

      Write a Short Book Fast

      Jun 12, 2023

      My first indie book was a short book written in less than a month. I claimed the title “author,” but my saddle-stitched booklet made me feel like an imposter. Then I discovered similar short books—e-books, perfect-bound paperbacks, and stapled bookle
