paradigm

1. A paradigm is not a summary outline. Do not submit a skimpy treatment of the religions. Instead, follow the headings presented in number two and introduce the religion in as much detail as to make the topic clear and complete.

2. Use the following headings in each paper:
3. Origin (country)
4. Founder
5. Concept of God (or the supernatural including spirits, both good and evil)
6. Concept of Humanity (As people relate to the supernatural and nature)
7. Concept of Sin (what constitutes sin or a serious offense)
8. Concept of Salvation (the final goal of man or their view of the afterlife)
9. Means to Salvation (or way to achieve Salvation or to reach the afterlife)
10. Sacred Writings (scriptures)

3. EVERY HEADING MUST BE ADDRESSED AND NEEDS TO HAVE ITS OWN HEADING.

4. Each of the topics below MUST also be ADDRESSED and EXPLAINED under the headings in No. 3 where they fit BEST.
