Does the attempted paraphrase present an adequate paraphrase of the source material? [Consider only how well/poorly the student paraphrases the source. Do not consider any needs regarding citation.] Source material Although the Bible teaches that the local church must care for both the spiritual and physical needs of the poor, the Bible does not indicate that only the local church must care for the poor.
