(a) Discusses the ways in which Christianity has traditionally understood and approached the issue - including the ways in which Christians have socially responded to/sought to remedy the problem.
(b) Analyzes the social dimensions (socio-political, socio-economic or socio-cultural) that have either caused, or which contribute to the exacerbation of, your chosen issue on the international, national or regional level.
(c) Discusses Christian Faith-Based organizations that are involved in attempting to remedy the issue by engaging in community-based service or by engaging in other forms of social activism and advocacy. Be Certain to include a discussion of the ways in which you yourself were involved.

These responses are very open-ended and I dont have strict guidelines for how I want you to
structure them. Basically, I want you to engage with the assigned readings (if we are reading
more than one text ie. several short stories or excerpts please just respond to one of them) in
some fashion. The idea behind this assignment is to start you thinking about the literature so
youll be ready for our discussions when we have our class meetings.

First, watch the first 26 minutes of Jesus in China (Links to an external site.) (this is a PBS Frontline video; the rest of the video covers other topics).

Alternate video location:  https://qa.pbs.org/video/frontlineworld-jesus-in-china/ (Links to an external site.)

Second, post your carefully considered response to the following prompt in a paragraph of at least 6 sentences:

Continuing the video discussion from last week, consider a person or event from this video, and describe how, in your view, they/it either did or did not maintain a healthy balance between Christian faith and political endeavors. Use specific details from the video as evidence of your position.

First, based on your reading of the chapters from Noll assigned this week, post your carefully considered response to the following prompt:

What are 3 ways in which Christianity worldwide (especially evangelicalism) has changed (taken on a new shape) since the 19th century (the 1800s)? List your 3 changes, describe them (at least 1 sentence each), and explain why you chose them (at least 2 sentences each). Use specific details from Noll's book.

Then, thoughtfully read and engage at least 2 of your colleagues' responses with a substantive reply of at least 4 sentences each. Each reply needs to answer this question: Do you agree with the importance of the 3 changes your colleague chose? If you do agree, provide additional specific evidence that further supports their choices from the reading in Noll. If you do not agree, charitably explain why you differ and support your own view with specific evidence from Noll. In all likelihood, you will agree with some choices and not o

Students will write and submit a final 5-7-page paper worth twenty (20) percentage points of the final grade. Knowing the prompts beforehand, you may wish to work on this assignment throughout the eight-week period, which will certainly make this final assignment much easier and perhaps more meaningful. It will have four main sections, as outlined below.
1) Essay (approx. 2-3 pages): Reflecting upon this semester and your work in this class, answer the following questions:
What is Christian theology?
What makes it an essential component of the churchs ministry since its inception?
How has the study of God, particularly in this class, been relevant to your life as a
follower of Christ?
2) Reading Review (approx. 1-2 pages): Provide a descriptive and evaluative itemized review of the course readingmain text and other resources (see Appendix). Be clear, succinct, and incisive in your comments and accurately identify the readings to which you refer. Be proportional in

2-3 sentences in which you try to summarize the authors main point(s), and perhaps thinking about
key words or concepts that you noticed
Your reaction to the reading, which could include what surprised you, what confused you, what you
disagreed with, what was left out.
Perhaps some comparative comments: comparing what you read to what you know about other
religions or this religious tradition in other places; perhaps comparison with things weve already read or
learned in this class.
Some questions that you are left with about the reading or the topic that you wish you had more
information about.

*Have genuine faith and practice faith will save us/Pious belief triumph over evil (YOU MAY CHANGE TO A MORE ATTRACTIVE TOPIC NAME) You must follow an argumentative essay format. This is a very theological and spiritual level of essay. The writer needs to make 3 to 4 supporting points, separate to individual body point on the topic how a person can overcome EVIL negativities in life when they have a faith toward God or have a belief? Some of the points, the writer may want to address in the essay: **Doing good should also come from the heart because people genuinely feel happy and satisfied when they help others. Being kind to others and avoiding harming them is an inner satisfaction of self to establish good relationships with people and God and not an intention to be treated similarly. ** In the context of demons, humans also play key roles in justifying their existence. However, in cases where demons appears even if we do good, people should pray and seek help from God. Nonetheless,

Read a Scholarly Journal Article about CQ: For this discussion board, each student will need to select a scholarly journal article about CQ in a specific professional discipline. Note that a variety of articles have been provided on Blackboard to relate to a large selection of degree fields and professional interests; however, if a student does not find an article which matches their interests, they can do their own research to find a different article. The student should send the article to your professor and get prior approval before using an article if it is different than the ones provided.                

Initial Thread Question/ Prompt: Once you have read your article please answer the following questions in your post: (Questions in parenthesis are suggestions to help guide your writing).

What happens when we die?  There are many possible answers to that question, and each of them solves some problems and perhaps creates other.  Here some examples of what I mean:

Atheists solve the problem by saying that there is no life after death.  Were on our own to build whatever world we want.  True, there is no answer to the question of the injustice of life.  Good people, bad people, and all the rest of us, will have the same end, and there is nobody keeping score.  There is no savior to reward the good or to
punish the wicked.

Christians believe in an after-life in which all wrongs on earth are righted.  Jesus offers the famous parable of the Last Judgment (Gospel of Matthew, chapter 25), where those who are compassionate to the poor and suffering will sit on the right hand of Jesus, while those who lacked compassion will experience some pretty bad things.

Directions (These directions are detailed and will be the same for every week, but be sure to read and reference them carefully for the first few weeks until you get the hang of it!):

Utilizing the provided template and using primarily the textbook, provide detailed but concise (4-6 bullet-points) summaries for each section for each assigned religion for that unit. Each week you are to cover only the assigned religions of the unit. In other words, you are not free to write about any religion; you must write about the religions studied during each particular week.  Each religion should be summarized in a separate column. Here are some general guidelines that apply every week:

1. Use the template provided below. You may need to modify the template by adding columns in order to cover the required number of religions for any given week.  You may also freely modify the format to personalize it to your liking, just keep it clean, clear, and professional looking. I als
