Religion

ANSWER IN 3pages

Describe a religious service or event that you have attended recently (whether in person or on-line) in terms of the seven dimensions of religion. (Be sure to clearly identity when and where the service was and provide a link to it if there is an on-line version.) Then, based on what you have learned in this course, compare and contrast it to the worship services or practices (celebrations) in at least two other religions. How would they be similar or different and why? Use specific examples from our course materials (with page or section numbers where relevant).

course materials: bible, bhagavad gita, religious literacy by prothero

christianity

1)
Read: An Open Letter to the Christian Nobility

In your first paragraph, describe how Luther subverts the medieval understanding that a religious vocation was limited to priests and to those who embraced the monastic life. For Luther, what is the difference between a priest and a lay person? In what sense does Luthers subversion help you sort out the concept of calling?

Read: Whether Soldiers, Too, Can Be Saved

As you prepare to write your third paragraph, consider the context. To which group of reformers does Luther write this treatise? What theological positions define this group of reformers? In a third paragraph, note the distinction that Luther makes to begin this writing. Then name and describe what Luther calls the two different kinds of righteousness. How does Luther move from this distinction to argue that the killing, burning, and plundering of a soldier can be an act of love? Do you agree? Why or why not? What might be the implications of Luthers w

journal entry describing Wesley’s similarities (not differences!!) to any two theologians in the earlier chapters in Placher’s reader. It would be best to pick one Catholic and one Protestant theologian, but the choice is yours.

John Wesley is a complicated figure!

In many ways, his theology is a hybrid between Catholic and Protestant concerns. Read his sermon "The Scripture Way of Salvation" (p. 94-97), and make note of any similarities you see between his work and any of the prior theologians we've read.

Write a 2 (full) page to 3 page journal entry describing Wesley's similarities (not differences!!) to any two theologians in the earlier chapters in Placher's reader. It would be best to pick one Catholic and one Protestant theologian, but the choice is yours.

Son of God

Many of you may have used MLA format previously. Recently, MLA format was changed, and you are expected to use the UPDATED version in work for this course. The material below provides precisely that updated format AND gives some special instructions that apply to Paper 1, due at the end of Wk 3.

For Paper 1, you have been provided the ONLY sources you should be using (apart from the Bible and course resources). You should NOT try to hunt down any other resources. All you need to do is click on the title of the resource, and then look up your articles.

Although the resource is edited by "Balentine," for both your reference citations and your bibliography, I want you to list your resource by the article authors name for the article you consulted, NOT the editors name (i.e., NOT Balentine!); the author is the one with the ideas, NOT the editor, and I think it is important to give the author appropriate credit. IF you are writing on Christ/Messiah, your bibliography should li

Confucius

Please read the Project Guidelines and answer each question (Total 7 questions)

You need to watch the video and read document (Week 3 confucianism) to answer these questions.

Especially, I want you to focus on question 6 and 7 the most when you write.
