Looking For Help...
Ok, I have been presented with something at school that I am desirous of some assistance with. Please note, I an NOT looking for someone to do my assignment for me, but rather some tacts to take in its accomplishment. That said…
The assignment is in essay form. I have three essays from which to choose. The third one is somewhat intriguing, especially as I believe my professor may have put this particular question on there specifically because of the short dialogue we’ve had (regarding Orthodox soteriology, and my critique of his understanding of it). In his reply to me (this done via email), he admits that his understanding of Orthodoxy in general is limited.
The question itself is thus:
Discuss the fundamental differences between Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theology.
Now as much as I would like to answer this question for the essay portion of my exam because it would take little to no research on my part, I’m asking myself how to tackle this in the amount of space he is looking for (800-1200 words), or even if it can be done in that limited amount of words and still have any meaning. Keep in mind that he self describes himself as “more the social scientist and phenomenalist, rather than philosopher/theologian”, and this is the perspective he would really like to see flushed out.
My question is, can it be done in that short of space (I admit I tend to be long winded), and if so, how would you perhaps narrow down the focus in order to keep it short enough to fit roughly into the length requirements?
