Two Further Introduction Suggestions

Begin your paper by mentioning Biblical examples relevant to the paper’s topic. For example if your talking about military, consider describing the Roman soldiers who would have been involved in the slaughter of children at the time of Jesus' birth, the story of the Centurion who comes to Jesus, and the soldiers involved in the crucifixion. Then pose the question of what was the military of first century Palestine like. State your thesis and provide a preview listing the subtopics your paper will address.

Begin with a description of the topic today. For example, if your talking about clothing in first century Palestine, describe the dress of contemporary Palestinians for several sentences before posing the question of what was the clothing of first century Palestinians like. Then state your thesis that generalizes what the clothing was like. Follow this with a preview statement listing your subtopics in the order they will be addressed.
