DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
The student will post one thread of at least 400 words. There are two parts to each prompt, so approximately half of the 400 words should be dedicated to each part. For each thread, students must support their assertions with at least one scholarly citation for each prompt part. Be sure to avoid extended quotes. These citations must be in current Turabian format. Acceptable sources include the textbooks and the Bible.
Please choose for this discussion one of these four options (you may choose a specific branch of the option, but sufficient research must be done in order to demonstrate that you have addressed aspects specific to that option). If you chose one of these for your self-selected argument (the long paper), you must choose a different world religion.
Hinduism
This prompt is in two parts:
- Critique or evaluate an aspect of the worldview of a world religion. This is not an apologetic argument for Christianity but rather a critique of some aspect of the self-selected world religion’s worldview. It does not need to be as extended as the critique(s) provided in the long paper in this course.
- After critiquing the world religion, construct a short argument defending Christianity against an aspect of that world religion. You do not need to be comprehensive but your argument must be coherent. You may bring up additional arguments in replies to classmates. Be sure to use scripture and your textbooks as applicable, but you may need to do some research beyond what is provided in the textbook.
You must use a paragraph format and not a bullet point format for this discussion.
