Essay Topics: choose one of the and write about it .
1) “Christianity and Islam are completely different and incompatible religions.” Assess the validity of this statement and defend your position with specific evidence.
2) A Muslim and a Christian walk into a juice bar...
You are the Muslim, and the Christian asks you to explain Islam. You are responsible for presenting Islam to them in a way they can understand. Explain the basics, the similarities and the differences and if/why they matter.
Topic one, like the first essay, asks you to compare two religious traditions. However, rather than simply asking for a comparison, it asks that you judge someone else’s statement about their compatibility. In your essay, present a thesis/claim and defend that claim with concrete evidence and explanation. In addition, be sure you articulate how you are interpreting the two different aspects of the comparison: “completely different” and “incompatible.”
The second topic involves both a clear explanation of one religion and a presentation of that religion in a way that a person from another religion can understand. So, clearly and convincingly outline your religion of choice. While doing so, explain/compare, using terms and concepts that the other person can understand and appreciate. Remember also to be sensitive and respectful in your presentation, both of your religion of choice and of the religion of your conversation partner.
