10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• Montgomery, The Writing of Research Papers in
  Theology An Introductory Lecture

61
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• 10.5.1 The nature of a theology research paper
• 1. But what characterizes the research study as
  distinct from other kinds of written
  communication in which the theologian engages?
  Essentially, the research paper constitutes a
  contribution to knowledge, either through the
  actual discovery of new information or through
  the presentation of old information in a new
  perspective. p. 5

62
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• 2. Three elements will be seen to enter into
  such a paper originality, information, and
  organization. p. 5

63
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• 10.5.2 Seven step method
• 1. First we have the basic principle which
  serves as a substratum for all the others the
  necessity of finding and using reliable research
  works in any study which you undertake. p. 7

64
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• 2. "This leads naturally to the second point one
  should not begin an investigation at a library
  card catalog or at a periodical index (even
  though the students first tendency is to do so).
  Merely because a library contains certain books,
  or because certain periodical articles have been
  published, one cannot conclude that these are
  worthwhile research materials.

65
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• True, a library does its level best to acquire
  the wheat and by-pass the chaff, but even trained
  librarians sometimes make mistakes moreover,
  many books in every library are donations, and if
  you have observed the quality of the average
  pastors library, you can readily imagine what
  kinds of gifts divinity school libraries
  generally receive. Furthermore, a library will
  often intentionally buy a poor quality
  publication because it reflects the Zeitgeist -
  the spirit of the time, All this points to the
  fact that until one has entered into the subject
  of his research deeply enough to have established
  competent principles of evaluation, he must rely
  upon the authoritative judgment of others.

66
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• In short, the student should begin with his
  lecture material, texts, reserve readings, and
  course bibliographies from these data he can do
  a preliminary broadening or (generally) narrowing
  of his area of interest, and through footnotes
  and other bibliographic references acquire leads
  to competent material bearing on his subject.
  This is not naïve authoritarianism, it is common
  sense one does not assume that his professors
  and their recommended readings are in-fallible,
  but they constitute the best starting-point when
  one has not yet acquired criteria for judging
  publications in a field. p. 7-8

67
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• 3. "knowledge of appropriate reference tools is
  an essential element in the equipment of the
  theological researcher. Reference works are the
  librarians stock-and-trade, but since librarians
  object to being carried about on the backs of
  theological students, the latter must themselves
  learn to use the basic tools. . . . Having
  acquired a list of reliable publications on your
  subject from course materials and general
  reference books, you are in a position to
  penetrate deeper into your area of interest.
  p. 8

68
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• 4. "Borrow from the library a number of the books
  and journal articles about which you have
  learned acquire from them a knowledge of the
  authors and publications of key value in the
  field, attempt to develop your own criteria of
  judgment for literature in the area, and use the
  references in these books to increase the extent
  of your material." p. 8

69
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• 5. "You should now have sufficient foundation for
  your subject, and a tentative outline of your
  research problem in terms of the previous history
  of the problem, your hypotheses, the data needed
  to prove or disprove them, etc., so that you can
  proceed to the card catalogs of the library or
  libraries available to you, to general
  bibliographies, and to periodical (and possibly
  newspaper) indexes. This is step five at this
  point you utilize the criteria you have
  developed, and choose from the mass of material
  that which is relevant to your particular
  research problem. p. 8

70
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• 6. "Step six, which is not often utilized by
  students (probably because they insanely attempt
  to produce papers at the last minute before they
  are due), is the use of interlibrary loan to
  acquire necessary materials not in ones own
  library. p. 9

71
10.5 Writing a Theological Paper

• 7. "Step seven, not unnaturally, is the writing
  of the final draft of the paper, thereby
  incorporating the relevant data and ones
  original insights into a structural and literary
  unit. We shall now discuss several of the above
  considerations in detail, and begin with the
  reference tools of central importance to the
  theological research task. p. 9
