Book Summary and Critique Instructions
Write a 4“6-page summary and critique of the textbook The Advancement by L. Russ Bush. The summary must focus on summarizing the main ideas and significant themes in the book as well as giving an account of Bushs overall purpose in writing. The summary section of the paper must be shorter than 2 full pages. The critique section must contain a well-thought-out critical interaction with Bushs thesis and the main points of argument he presents in the book. The critique must present both strengths and weaknesses of the argument as well as an overall evaluation of the book. Bushs content is thoroughly analyzed using point comparisons, raising questions, and/or criticizing with supportive evidence. The critique section of the paper must be at least 2 full pages. In addition to these requirements, the paper must have a proper introduction, conclusion, and structure of a current Turabian and LUSD formatted academic essay.
Follow this detailed guide for composing the paper:

Use      a title page formatted according to the latest version of the LUSD      Writing Guide.
At      the top of the first page of text, provide a current Turabian bibliographic      citation for Bushs book.
When      you cite or refer to specific elements of Bushs book within your paper,      you will cite the book by putting the page number in parenthesis in the      text of your paper. Formal footnotes are not required. (You must not      consult or use other sources for this paper.)
Use      properly formatted headings for the 4 sections of the paper: introduction,      summary of the book, critique of the book, conclusion.
The      introduction section must be just 1 paragraph. It will state clearly      Bushs overall purpose for writing (thesis), Bushs main point about the advancement      worldview, and your overall evaluation of the book. Your evaluation of the      book must be stated in just 1 or 2 sentences.
The      summary section of the paper must contain a clear description of the      books major themes and ideas, and you will focus on Bushs overall      purpose as you describe the main themes and ideas. The summary must be      concise, coherent, and focused such that a reader would have a basic but working      understanding of the contents and each major theme in the book based only      on your summary. The summary section of the paper must be shorter than 2      full pages.
The      critique section of the paper must have 1“2 paragraphs devoted to      discussing the strengths and 1“2 paragraphs devoted to discussing the      weaknesses of the book for a total of approximately 2 pages. When you      discuss strengths and weaknesses, you will focus on Bushs points of      argument and the ideas he presents rather than more superficial elements      such as writing style, organization, or arrangement. The strengths and      weaknesses you offer will contribute to an evaluation that is based on the      author’s thesis and the books suitability for the authors intended      audience, goals, and objectives. 
The      paper must finish with a conclusion. The conclusion will reiterate your      overall evaluation of the book and give a statement of the books value in      the larger academic context, specifically within the field of apologetics.

Submit the Book Summary and Critique by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 6.
