I need a good paper topic dealing with Protestantism. ?

That's really the only rule. Anything that relates would help. But, i would prefer not to write it on the usual: Calvin, Luther, reformation, etc.

it has to be about 8 pages.
any intriguing topic you can come up with would be awesome.
I'm stuck. ha ha
very fascinating ideas so far! they're so original. thanks so much :]
theist: i didn't ask for a thesis. i asked for a topic... so uh.... don't judge me.
George: good idea but I'm agnostic.
more details: surprisingly, the professor said anything at all relating to or inspired by a topic in protestantism is perfectly fine. he wants us to venture into interesting topics i think and not what we've covered in class which was Luther, Henry VII, reformation, Calvin, etc.

so yep, any ideas at all are perfectly fine

How the Protestant church changed the cultural norms/balance of power in the European world

How about:
Christianity is not divided up between Catholic and NonCatholics. We are all the one true church ....the body of Christ.

It could deal with why religions keep changing from each others' beliefs. They have the same god, the same savior, the same bible. Why don't they believe the same things? because it's all a lie?

Ok, Cotton Mather. He was an interesting Protestant in early America.
Just look up Cotton Mather. This should get you started:

How about you talk about Art in Protestantism vs art in Catholicism. I just went over this in art class. During the reformation the protestants thought that art in Catholicism bordered on idolatry, so they had a whole new style of Art.

The English revolution, that later sent the Puritans to America?

Comparing Protestant ideas with those of the Eastern Orthodox Church

I'm not going to write your thesis for you because that is your job. What I can do is help you come up with a topic. Why not write about the struggle between Catholicism and Protestantism?

People want to talk about the reformation without talking about the failures of the Catholic church that caused the reformation in the first place. Do a paper on that.

do it on The belief in the Bible as the sole source of faith, Justification by Faith Alone and Universal Priesthood of Believers. as you Polly know, those are the three fundamental principles of traditional Protestantism. With that, you can argue homosexuality and how the Bible says it is wrong, but yet society accepts it nowadays and TONs of other contradictions the Bible is full of.

how about, how it differs from your religion

here's a topic most don't have the courage to to. Look into Martin Luther's writings and how they inspired the Nazi party in Germany I bet nobody has done that one yet

i was raised catholic and later in life i attended a baptist church for awhile. what i loved about the services and protestantism is the its about just Jesus. really its about the bible being the word of god yet i think Protestants are on to a better focus when its just Jesus...if i were to write the paper it would be just Jesus.

***edited to correct typo***

While I understand that sentiments of other Answers, your paper is to be on Protestantism therefore it would need to be regarding the Bible (scripture) alone, salvation based on faith alone and the priesthood of all believers ---OR--- it would not BE on Protestantism but on Christianity in general.

Surely, the instructor gave some indication of what was expected in the paper. Can you elaborate?
