An op-ed (originally short for “opposite the editorial page”) is a short opinion piece typically published news publications. Such a piece expresses a strong opinion of an author typically not affiliated with the publication. Op-eds are typically short, persuasive in rhetoric and strong in tone. Here is a good guide from the Harvard Kennedy School on how to write a successful op-ed. You can also view the following examples of successful op-eds from Regent professors:

. Dr. Mary Manjikian, associate professor in the Robertson School of Government, has written an op-ed published in the Tuesday, Jan. 25, issue of the Christian Science Monitor. In the op-ed, Manjikian explores the parenting questions raised by Yale law professor Amy Chua’s new book about Asian parenting, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Read Manjikian’s op-ed here .

. Dr. Eric Patterson, dean of the Robertson School of Government, published his op-ed on The Blaze, discussing “My Two Cents Day,” a student project to promote awareness of the U.S. national debt.

For this assignment construct an op-ed using a Biblical perspective on how to define truth and to defend it. A successful op-ed will contain the following elements:

. Be between 550 and 750 words long.

. Be clear in formulation and persuasive in rhetoric.

. Has a clearly defined point of view.

. Exhibit a clear and logical argument.

. Engages with contemporary culture.

. Show strong evidence of a fully developed Biblical worldview. 

UNITS 1-3 have concentrated on the nature, source, and views held toward the existence of objective reality. This is also referred to in our course materials and study as verifiable, universal, exclusive truth.

For this short writing assignment, use the course materials provided to answer the question: What is truth and where is it found?

Certainly, this essay will focus on some of the salient arguments presented by both Groothuis (Truth Decay) and Allberry (Connected). Be sure to call on the video presentations by Dr. Bekke, Dr. Henderson, and myself.

The goal of the essay is to convince the reader that objective reality – truth – is found in the essence, character, and revelation of the Trinity. Elaborate on what this means.
