    Background Statement

    I am an Asian student originally from Kazakhstan, and my journey to Canada has been both transformative and inspiring. Growing up in Kazakhstan, I was raised in a culture that values resilience, respect, and strong community ties. Moving across the world to study at the University of Victoria was a significant step outside of my comfort zone academically, culturally, and personally.

    One of the most memorable moments in my journey was my very first day on campus at the University of Victoria. I vividly remember being struck by how genuinely kind and welcoming everyone was. Professors, staff, and fellow students were not only polite, but openly supportive and encouraging. This left a deep impression on me. Coming from a completely different cultural and educational environment, I felt both challenged and inspired. That experience strengthened my desire to grow, contribute, and become someone who also creates a positive impact in diverse environments.

Meaning, avoid using a one- to two- sentence stand-alone quote from each of your sources. Show mastery of your sources and be sure to integrate them fully into your essay with sufficient evidence. Make sure it is also clear how each piece of evidence illustrates your points and supports your thesis.
    • In-text Citations: Make sure to include an MLA parenthetical citation after each source reference throughout your essay, as well as signal phrases such as “According to the [author/article/etc.] …” to establish credibility when introducing your evidence.
    • Structure: Organize your essay with a clear introduction (providing background/context and presenting your thesis statement; avoid including analytical evidence in the introduction), body paragraphs that expand on your thesis (each paragraph should present a clear topic and include supporting details and analysis), and a conclusion that restates your thesis and reflects on your overall analysis without introducing new information.

  • MIRACLE AND RESURRECTION PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

    OVERVIEW

    People have serious issues with Christianity. You dont need to be told this, as your experience

    may have alerted you to this fact long before you studied the alarming cultural trends of Late

    Modernism or addressed the accusations of intolerance, repression, and exclusivity from a friend

    in previous conversations. Still, you should be a bit more comfortable and better prepared to deal

    with these defeaters now; you will turn your attention to another common set of criticisms: the

    supernatural is a myth, miracles cannot be proven, the Bible is untrustworthy, and resurrection is

    impossible. Simple enough, yes? This type of philosophical naturalism and its implications are

    pervasive in Western culture, and the Christian apologist must be prepared to respond. Quoting

    Scripture at someone who struggles in this area is a non-starter so you will have to rely on your

    trusty friend the Inside Out method, which will enable you to address criticisms of skeptics like

    David Hume (Inside) and work up to the Minimal Facts approach of Dr. Habermas (Out), all

    while keeping your cool and hopefully winning a friend and a brother or sister in Christ.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    The friend you were talking to in the Inside Out Essay Paper is more open to Christianity now.

    However, they are still having trouble believing in miracles in general and the resurrection in

    particular. In this essay, make the most persuasive case you can to your secular friend. Keep in

    mind that if they do not believe in miracles, they likely do not believe in the Bible either so

    quoting verses alone might not help. However, use the Bible as a historical document to argue

    for the historicity of the resurrection. You must also be aware of your audience as well. Learn to

    meet them where they are, and use the Inside Out method to guide them out. Guidelines include:

    Paper length of 1000-1200 words (not including title and bibliography pages) submitted

    in a Word document

    You must use at least 3 citations from scholarly/academic sources, in addition to citations

    from Apologetics at the Cross and the Bible, for a minimum of 5 references

    Acceptable sources include scholarly journals, books, articles, and other published works

    o Consider the work of authors such as C.S. Lewis, Craig Keener, Gary Habermas,

    Tim Keller, and N.T Wright to be superior resources on miracles/resurrection,

    integrating them in an natural and useful way (instead of tacking them on to

    meet a requirement)

    o Avoid simply stringing quotes together at length, as this is not an effective way to

    persuade a friend

    You must use the four Inside-Out questions as a framework to organize your thoughts

    You may write in first, second, or third-person

    Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
