In the first three centuries of its existence, Christianity was, in effect, an illegal religion within the Roman Empire. Many Christians were killed or otherwise faced persecution. Why? How did they adapt and even use persecution to advance their faith? Answer these questions with analysis of assigned primary sources. You are welcome to include relevant details and context from the assigned course textbook; however, primary sources should be the basis of your work. The essay should be 800-1,200 words<\/strong>. its a critical analysis. Answer some of this question with analysis of the assigned primary source(s) and relevant information from the Textbook https:\/\/blogs.nvcc.edu\/westernciv\/history-of-weste…<\/a>please use the textbook<\/p>\n

Essay is well written and well organized with only minor spelling and grammar errors. It demonstrates a strong command of the relevant course material, responds directly to the prompt, has a clear and compelling thesis, solid evidence in the form of well-chosen and appropriately cited quotations and specific references to the requested source(s), robust analysis, logical reasoning, and meets the target length. Structure:<\/span> Your essay should be written in the form of a conventional analytical\/argumentative paper and structured in the following way:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2<\/span> Introduction:<\/span> This opening paragraph<\/span> defines the topic<\/span>(s)<\/span> and articulates a<\/span> thesis<\/span>. A<\/span>
thesis is a sentence (or perhaps two or thr<\/span>ee) that answers the questions in the prompt. It<\/span>
is the central argument that unifies the rest of the paper. It is not simply a restatement of<\/span>
the question(s) or an expression of what you intend to write later on.<\/span>
\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2<\/span> Body:<\/span> At least one paragraph (perhaps se<\/span>veral)<\/span> analyzing<\/span> evidence in defense of your<\/span>
thesis<\/span>. Each paragraph should<\/span> have<\/span> topic sentence<\/span>, which articulates the main point of<\/span>
the paragraph and is related (implicitly or explicitly) to your central thesis.<\/span>
\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2<\/span> Conclusion:<\/span> This final paragraph should reinforce your thesis without restating, word for<\/span>
word, sentences in previous paragraphs. Do not make any new arguments or introduce<\/span>
any new evidence here.<\/span>
Citations:<\/span> A strong paper will provide concise quotations from the<\/span> primary sources as well as<\/span>
unquoted references to material in the assigned readings. It should always be clear to your<\/span>
reader, in the text of your essay, where your quotes and information are coming from.<\/span> The<\/span>
reader should also be able to look up the sou<\/span>rce on his or her own. Toward this end, a<\/span>t the end of<\/span>
each sentence that contains quoted or referenced material, include<\/span> a numerical marker indicating<\/span>
where, precisely, the material can be found<\/span>. If, for some reason, you have not mentioned the<\/span>
name of th<\/span>e source or author in the text of the essay, put the author\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s name or an abbreviated title<\/span>
in parenthesis before the<\/span> numerical marker<\/span>.<\/span> (In some cases, such as primary sources on the web,<\/span>
there may not be a page or paragraph number. In such circumstances,<\/span> put the closest<\/span>
chapter\/section heading.)<\/span>
Here are some examples:<\/span>
\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2<\/span> If you are citing material from the textbook, a parenthetical citation looks like this<\/span>
(Brooks,<\/span> Chapter 6, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Culture<\/span>\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd).<\/span> Here, because there are no page numbers, you would<\/span>
list the chapter and the subheading.<\/span>
\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2<\/span> If you are citing material from<\/span> the Bible,<\/span> a parenthetical citation would look like this<\/span>
(<\/span>Matthew 3:<\/span>9<\/span>)<\/span> or simply (<\/span>Mt<\/span> 3:9<\/span>) if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve<\/span> mentioned this work in the text of the<\/span>
essay.<\/span> Matthew is the name of the book.<\/span> The number<\/span> 3 refers to the<\/span> chapter<\/span>; 9 to the<\/span>
verse<\/span>.<\/span> If you are citing material from the Qur<\/span>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/span>an,<\/span> a parenthetical citation would l<\/span>ook<\/span>
like th<\/span>is (Sur<\/span>a 2<\/span>:4<\/span>) o<\/span>r<\/span> (<\/span>The Heifer<\/span>,<\/span> 4)<\/span>.<\/span> Include the name<\/span> or number of the Sura<\/span> and<\/span>
the verse number<\/span>(s).<\/span>
\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2<\/span> If you are citing material from<\/span> an online primary source that has paragraph or verse<\/span>
numberings, such as<\/span> The Passions of Saint Perpetua a<\/span>nd Felicity<\/span>, a parenthetical<\/span>
citation looks like this (Perpetua<\/span>, 9). Perpetua is the name of the author\/account, while 9 refers to the paragraph number.<\/span><\/p>\n
