I am looking for some help with my thesis idea. I want write my thesis on the Marburg Colloquy of 1529, but I am not certain how much information is out there and how to narrow the focus. Do any of my brethren on the PB have any suggestions? All are appreciated.
 
Your subject would be the Marburg Colloquy, but your thesis has to be an arguable point.

In fact, that's the definition of a thesis : 1. an unproved statement put forward as a premise in an argument; 2. a treatise advancing a new point of view resulting from research.

You might argue something like, "The Marburg Colloquy is the greatest thing since sliced gefilte fish; everybody ought to be on board." Then set about proving your point. Mere historical reporting doesn't cut it.
