The scope of this workgroup is (a) primarily theological concepts and Christian theologians, and (b) secondarily the historical controversies surrounding the development of Christian theology.

[edit] Problem articles

Spot something out of place? Something in need of some real attention? List it here to bring it to the attention of the workgroup. Please also provide a brief description of the problem (e.g., unsourced, incomplete, original research, etc).

1. Scientific foreknowledge in sacred texts. Horrible sourcing (blogs, usenet), possibly OR or a coatrack.
2. Responsibility for the death of Jesus. Split from the Deicide article for clarity. What's left is original research.

[edit] Focus Articles

It is much easier to make progress with our attention focused on the same articles. From the talk page consensus, here are 3-4 articles that the workgroup is currently focusing on improving. Pitch in wherever you can:

[edit] Source Questions

Have you come across a dubious source in an article, either in print or online? Let's talk about whether it is helpful or not.

[edit] Source help

Looking for a source for a particular topic? Ask here - you never know what someone may have in their library. Found a great online source, share it with us.

[edit] Centralized discussions

Many topics within this project range across a broad spectrum of articles. Cerntalized discussion space is provided for discussions that have an impact on many articles.

1. Baptism
2. Ecclesiology
3. Chistology

[edit] Suggested merges

1. Ancestral sin → Original sin. Same concept, different sides of the Bosphorus. Original sin needs som work, but the material at Ancestral sin should feet in well.
2. Theology of Anabaptism → Anabaptist or → Believer's baptism
3. Consolamentum → Catharism
4. Christening gown → Baptismal clothing
5. Compadre → Godparent

[edit] Categories

The scope of this project certainly includes much that is beyond these categories. These categories, however, are the core of our focus.
