Statement of Intent
For my analytical writing paper I want to analyze the different Christian views on Eschatology. Eschatology is a part of theology and philosophy concerned with what are believed to be the final events in the history of the world, or the ultimate destiny of humanity, commonly referred to as the end of the world. As a Christian, to me this topic seems very intriguing. Not that I am interested in going to downtown Seattle with signs “the ends is near”, but the whole concept, idea and imagery of different descriptions and ideas of eschatology, completely overtake my fascination. Even the word “Eschatology” itself is fascinating to me. I have never done any kind of in depth research on this topic. However, I do know that Christianity as faith is divided over what happens in the end. Even some of my closest friends, who I agree with on pretty much every issue, disagree with each other on eschatology. My lack of knowledge of the different ideas will strategically place me in a neutral stance, right from the start. This will allow me to critically analyze every single idea without any biases. With that critical analysis I will allow the facts to speak for themselves and shape my view on Eschatology.

Overview
I intend to analyze the different ways Christians view Eschatology, to in the end come to my own conclusion.

Rationale
I hope to in the end finally understand Christian views on eschatology with which I can come to my own conclusion. At the same time writing the most throughout researched paper that I have written to not settle on a mediocre paper but to write a showpiece.

Publication


Schedule
Week 2 – Have my topic approved Week 3- Begin research Week 4- Begin writing the paper Week 5- Continue to beef up my paper with research

Anticipated Problems
Well the first thing that might go wrong is that my topic will not get approved because it has a religious nature to it. If it fails I will immediately begin searching for more topics. If I do go along with my topic I believe my biggest problem will be getting too caught up in my research to the point that I am completely confused on my topic (religious topic tend to do that). If that happens I will go back as far as I can in my research where I actually understood where I was and then move on to the research that was confusing me very slowly and cautiously.
