Reading Discussion: Hart & Mouw on American Evangelical Christianity

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

If you had to identify 3 "ingredients" that were key to the makeup of American evangelical Christianity in the first half of the 20th century (1900-1950), what would they be? (These ingredients might be theological, cultural, political, practical, etc.) List your 3 ingredients, describe them (at least 1 sentence each), and explain why you chose them (at least 2 sentences each).

Each reply needs to answer this question: Do you agree with the importance of the ingredients your colleague chose? If you do agree, provide additional specific evidence that further supports their choices from the readings. If you do not agree, charitably explain why you differ and sup

Video Discussion: Faith & the Public Square

First, watch the 1-hour documentary video, Soul of a Nation (Links to an external site.), in its entirety. (This is the fifth of 6 episodes in the PBS Frontline series, God in America (Links to an external site.).)

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

This video portrays the efforts of both Christian church leaders and politicians to "marry" faith and democracyin a nation that values the separation of church and state.

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.

GLST 220 – Journal 2

Journal Prompt:

Discuss why and how the concept of CQ is relevant to you and your future personal and career goals. Based on your CQ Assessment results and your personal reflection, discuss your strengths and growth areas in each of the four CQ dimensions (CQ Drive, CQ Knowledge, CQ Strategy, CQ Action). How has your understanding of Cultural Intelligence and the realities of interacting across cultures changed so far during this course? Discuss the ways you will seek to increase your CQ in the next 4 weeks as we finish this course? What about over the next year?

Your journal entry should be at least 400 words, but some of the prompts will require much more to answer the questions thoroughly. While journals are not f

Teresa of Avila’s spiritual autobiography

A common Protestant criticism of Catholicism during this period was that it was insufficiently attentive to the gift of salvation that comes through Christ and that it ignores much of the Bible in favor of church teaching.

Read the selections from Teresa of Avila's spiritual autobiography (p. 49-52).

First, where do you see allusions and references to the Bible? Please reference any specific texts (If you are not familiar with the Bible, these will be harder for you to catch, but go ahead and try!)

Second, where do you see her describing how we are to relate to God or Christ? Where do  you see encouragements to faith? to work? How are they related?

Write a 2-3 (full) page journal entry (double-spaced, 12 pt type, and 1" margins) reflecting on Teresa's biblical theology of faith.
