of theological enquiry within the Catholic tradition (Part 1), as well as reflect upon the impact of these on one’s own search for the truth on these matters (Part 2).The Task: Choose a section or chapter from one of the Recommended Readings in one of your theology module Prep Tasks. The reading should be chosen from a theology module which you have completed. The ‘Recommended Reading’ list for each theology module Prep task can be found in the Prep Task document located in the ‘Prep Tasks’ section of the Logos_Program_18S2: Module Enrolment site. Just look for ‘Prep Tasks’ in the menu on the left hand side of the page.Your paper will have two parts:Part 1: (approx. 300 – 500 words): Briefly summarise your chosen article or chapter. This should include the key conclusions of the article or chapter, and the reasons offered for those conclusions.Tips for Part 1:: Be sure to accurately communicate the author’s ideas – this will involve being attentive to their choice of words. Do not read into the author’s words what you think they want to or ought to say. Do not attempt to psychologise the author by getting ‘behind’ the text to their hidden motives. The goal here is accurately and fairly to communicate the arguments (premises and conclusions) of the otherperson. This section should avoid the use of evaluative language.Part 2: (approx. 1000 – 1200 words):How has this content confirmed, challenged or deepened your previous understanding of the topic?

These may not be very systematic or clear, but in that case, an important part of reflecting is to acknowledge that. Be sure to regularly refer back to the author’s reasons and conclusions when evaluating and discussing.  When reflecting on whether or how the article has deepened your understanding, consider questions like, ‘Has the author raised points I had not considered?’, ‘Do I have hidden presuppositions which need morethought?’, ‘Even though this is a conclusion I agree with, are these reasons valid?’, ‘Even though I disagreewith the conclusion, does it actually follow from these reasons?’, etc. Remember the goal is to arrive at the truth, therefore avoid politicising the issue (e.g., reducing it to party linesor jumping to political consequences), ad hominem attacks (e.g., ‘She is only saying that because she is a...’)
