5 questions about religion

1. One of the key themes of this course was that each religious tradition contains unity and diversity. Using Dorothy Day and Augustine as your main examples, explain how the Christian tradition reflect/ exemplifies this idea of unity and diversity.

2. Another key idea was that the sacred texts of religious traditions are complicated documents. The Quran and the Bible are both sacred text, but they were formed in different contexts and different manners. Write a substantive paragraph about the formation processes of these two texts.

3. One of the course learning out comes is that you should be able to say something substantive about what Catholic Christians believe in means to be a human being in this world. Write a quality paragraph about this topic that draws from at least 2 course resources (reading, handouts, guest speakers, movies, podcasts, etc.)

******For Phyllis Young*******

******Guest speakers = story of Dorothy Day******

******Podcasts = This is also a resource of previous paper you did for me. Remember that paper needs cite 3 sources?******

4. Our course included a lot of historical facts, figures, etc. because religious traditions are historical realities. Write a substantive paragraph about why the Jewish tradition would be impossible to understand without learning about its long history?

5. This course also emphasized interreligious dialogue and cooperation. Write a substantive paragraph that explains why the following statement is false: “ Christians and Muslims will never get alone because their religious traditions force them to view each other as enemies.” Be sure to include some specifics from our course materials.
