Assignment Instructions

 

In a reflective essay of 3-5 pages, and using the Christiano text, Lesson 4 and online readings, your MTB exercise, and any other credible and authoritative sources you might choose, please address the following multi-part question in depth:

· Out of religion and politics, social class and power, race/ethnicity, and gender (all of which you should have read about), which concept do you see as the most relevant to the modern world of religious belief and behavior? How does it interrelate with at least one other of these concepts? How do your observations apply to at least one of the religious groups you’ve learned about?
