Discussion: World Religions
Post your response in 200 words to each part of the prompt. Support your assertions with two scholarly citations in each prompt. Be sure to avoid extended quotes. Citations must be in current Turabian format. Acceptable sources include the
textbooks and the Bible.
This discussion is in two parts, both related to a world religion:
1. Construct a short argument defending Christianity against an aspect of a world religion. Choose one of these four options:
Islam,
Judaism,
Hinduism,
Buddhism,
You also must choose a different world religion than the one chosen for the second part of the prompt. You must use a paragraph format. You do not need to be comprehensive but your argument must be coherent. Be sure to use scripture and your textbooks as applicable.
2. 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. Choose one of these four options:
Islam
Judaism
Hinduism
Buddhism
You must use a paragraph format. You do not need to be comprehensive but your argument must be coherent. You may bring up additional arguments in replies to classmates.
You may need to do some research beyond what is provided in the textbook. Scripture is not required for this part of the prompt but may be used if applicable to your critique.
