Week 6

This week we will think about theology and conflict, culminating with an essay on Theology and/or Ethics. As you prepare for this essay, you are free to pick any theological or ethical issue that you are interested in. This can be something you’ve always been interested, something that sparked an interest when you took Gen Ed classes like REL 101, 102, or 301, or HUM 111, 212, or 313. I’ve given you some potential topics on the essay instructions, but if you are stuck you are more than welcome to use the two chapters we are reading from Richard Mouw (Ch. 1 & Ch. 2) for coming up with ideas, plus here are a couple more ideas:

• Should marijuana be legalized?
• Death penalty
• Sale of contraceptive devices
• Should world leaders mix their political stance with religion?

Katie and Konnor-Ashley will be leading us in discussion on Fisher & Ury Ch. 5 and Mouw Ch. 1 & 2 this week. Please come prepared to discuss this chapter. I will send out the questions when I have approved them.

As always, you can email me or schedule a time to meet with me via my Calendly.
