The three points that this paper is written about were chosen because I believe that they are some of the major points that have been forgotten in today’s society. As a whole, we are too quick to say that we know everything and that we are always right. This mindset has become prevalent in a lot of religious backed arguments. As a society we tend to think that knowing a little about a lot of things will equate to knowing everything, and this is how people are studying religion. This thought…

DeAnn Grove 1) Compare and contrast the three major sects of Christianity (Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy); include comments regarding when and how they originated and differences in belief, dogma, and practices.

I have done many community services. Throughout the summer and I volunteered at a Cowtober on October 8, 2016, at Fair Oaks farm. I volunteered at the food pantry in Rensselaer and donated books to the Saint Joseph’s College library. The experience as a volunteer gave me the greatest gift. The joy of giving others and making their lives better. One of my absolute favorite lectures of all four years of Saint Joe was Maia Hawthorne’s lecture of the Declaration of Human Rights. I was amazed by this…

2.1. Relational youth ministry For Pete Ward, ‘in the incarnational approach relationships are… very much to the fore’ they are, in fact, ‘the fuel on which youthwork travels’ (1997:43). Pete Ward and his training centre, Oxford Youthworks, were largely responsible in the UK for the resurgences towards the incarnational theological approach in youth ministry in the 1990s. His view could be summarised simply enough as be like Jesus by being with young people. The incarnational theological…

Mark A. Noll and Carolyn Nystrom's book, Clouds of Witness: Christian Voices from Africa and Asia, is a compilation of 17 biographical sketches of significant African and Asian Christians. Each of these inspirational people played a key role in establishing churches and driving Christian movements and renewals within their respective countries. These lesser-known disciples of the 19th and 20th centuries, are proof that Christianity is not restricted to European nations. While Western…

Looking back at my original interview questions, it is somewhat amazing to realize how much I have learned regarding Jesus of Nazareth and the times in which he lived in. It is extremely apparent that the original thoughts and ideas I had about Jesus were based on predominantly Western evangelical concepts and culture. As the course moved forward, these ideas shifted to a more historical and accurate perspective. Overall, the information and assignments provided within this class allow for one,…

Timothy Weber has likened the early dispensationalists to spectators in a stadium, watching history unfold on the playing field below. There were very few among them who believed they could or should play any role in the fulfilment of prophecy except to be watchful and personally prepared.

They consequently shunned earthly…
