Religion in the news: Pick an event or topic in American religion (past or present, although present will likely be easier to do without digging into the library’s newspaper archives.) Collect and evaluate three different newspaper accounts on your event or topic. How do the authors present the history of the issue, if at all? What does each emphasize? Has anything been left out? If so, how are they the same and/or different?

Please write a Philippi and a Corinth Identify how specific history and cultural context of a Greco-Roman city illumines the New Testament text. The New Testament contains numerous letters written to specific people in specific cities. The author of the letter assumes that his audience lives in the culture of the city and knows some of its history. If we know a city’s history and culture, it will unlock the meaning of the letter in a much richer way. : Greco-Roman City Meet with your fellow students in the team forum visible in your course. Your facilitator will have posted a roster of the team members within each team forum. You will work together in groups of four to develop a city overview. Your group may choose to present an overview of either Philippi or Corinth. You are free to creatively report your findings in the way that will be most clearly understood, giving insight into the history, culture, religious, and political life of the city. The material must be presented with maximum clarity and accuracy. Note: this project will require outside research, including such materials as articles, monographs, and biblical commentaries.
Write a formal essay including an introductory paragraph with a thesis, a body of two or three paragraphs that support or explore the thesis, and a conclusion which restates the thesis. So, drawing out the religious messages of the Shinto myth of origin, the eight Japanese islands are of divine origin, the Japanese people are of divine origin, and the Japanese emperor has the great goddess Amaterasu as an ancestor. Basing your response on your own research, what other religions regard a piece of land as a gift of God or the gods, and what other religions regard their leaders as divine or as special agents of God or the gods? How, for example, does the Jewish story about God creating and giving “The Holy Land” to the Jews compare to the Shinto story about the gods creating and giving the islands of Japan to the Japanese people? How, for example, does the Christian notion of Jesus being God's son and leader of the Christians compare to the Shinto notion of the Japanese emperor being a descendent of the sun goddess, Amaterasu? What other religions consider rulers divine? What other religions consider other pieces of land divine?
Write a formal essay including an introductory paragraph with a thesis, a body of two or three paragraphs that support or explore the thesis, and a conclusion which restates the thesis.

1B. UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP PROJECT – ABSTRACT INSTRUCTIONS
AND EXAMPLE
Building off of your research paper thesis statement, your next step is to write an abstract. The abstract will be the first page of your paper and it should be 250–300 words in length. Your abstract will include an engaging introduction to your paper that shows the rationale for the paper and culminates in your thesis statement. Further, it should show how you will work to accomplish your thesis.
Consider the following ABSTRACT PAPER example:
The Scriptures clearly teach that God is a missionary God and that He desires to be worshipped by people from every tribe, nation, and tongue. God promised Abraham in Genesis 12:3 that in him all of the “families of the earth” would be blessed. Similarly, in the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18–20, Jesus commands His followers to “make disciples of all nations.” The biblical idea of families (mishpaha) or nations (ethne) does not refer to countries or geo-political entities, rather it can be better translated as people groups or perhaps cultural groups. According to the Joshua Project, in the world today there are some 16,601 people groups. While we rejoice that over 9,000 of them have a strong enough Christian presence to evangelize their own people, over 7,000 people groups still remain unreached. That is, with an evangelical population of less than 2%, the churches within these people groups lack the necessary critical mass to evangelize their own people. In many cases, the Scriptures are not yet available and the people group is resistance to Christian missions. If we are going to take the Great Commission and Scriptures seriously, then we must focus our efforts on and even give priority to the least reached peoples in the world. That is precisely my task in this paper. This project will focus on the Arabs of Tunisia, a people group of nearly 10 million that are 99.4% Muslim with just a few hundred followers of Christ. In order to do this, I will first endeavor to give a brief background on the Tunisian Arabs discussing such things as their history, language, culture, economy, religion, and family structure. Second, I will survey the current status of mission work among them including a brief history of missions, the current status of the church, the challenges, as well as present strategies. Finally, in light of this background and current status, I will propose a strategy for reaching the Tunisian Arabs. Because I am a local church pastor in Indiana, I will design a plan for our church that would involve strategic prayer, sacrificial giving, sending short-term teams to the Tunisian Arabs, and partnering with other churches and organizations working among them.
Your abstract will include:
1. An engaging introduction to your paper that shows the rationale for the paper and culminates in your thesis statement. 2. The thesis statement should be followed by several sentences of sub-argumentation showing what conclusions you will reach. In other words, it should explain the research goals and allude to the conclusions. More precisely, it should show how you will work to accomplish A CLEARLY ARGUED thesis. 3. You should outline your approach and method of research in your abstract—in other words, how you researched your project and came to your conclusions. Were there interviews, original source documents, etc.? Did you consult special archives or people group specific materials? 4. It should address strategy. Will you network with other agencies? What form will your churches take? Will you use a house-church strategy? Cell model? Traditional church? Attractional models? Will you develop an oral strategy because of literacy levels? What do these look like? What kind of church planting model will you use? Will you do relief work? What kind of partnerships will you form? How will you do evangelism—one-on-one, groups, media? 5. On your final paper, if you simply recite cultural details from Wikipedia, you can expect a low grade. You will need to show how cultural details inform a reaching strategy.
3. NOTE ABOUT THE ABSTRACT PAPER
1. As a reminder, the Abstract should not be an introduction to your paper but rather should explain the entire argument of your threads.
4. THE GRADED PROPOSAL IS WHAT YOU BUILD ON TO GET YOUR ABSTRACT.
UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP PROJECT – PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
This project will be a 17 pages paper devoted to reaching an unreached people group—a cultural group that is less than 2% evangelical. For example, see the Tunisian Arabs at:
The purpose of this assignment is to consider the people group’s history and cultural background, to assess the history of mission work among them, and to analyze current mission strategies at work among them, and to develop a plan for reaching them with the Gospel.
The write-up will include:
1. LOOK AT THE ATTACHED PROPOSAL PAPER AND THE ABSTRACT FOR GUIDANCE AND WHAT TO DO AS I DID THE 2 PARTS ALREADY
• Background information (5–7 pages) on the people group (history, language, culture, economy, religion, family). Also, include a nice map detailing where they live. • A survey of missions work (5–7 pages) to this people (history of missions among them, the current status of the church, how many known believers, challenges, present strategies; if possible, contact a missionary presently working with this group). • Proposed strategy (5–7 pages). From the perspective of (1) a missionary going to them or (2) a missions organization beginning work among them or (3) a sending church sending laborers to work among them, propose a strategy. While biblical principles ought to be in place, the specific strategy must take into account the background information on the people group and the survey of past and present missions work among the people.

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions. The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative ethical analysis of George’s situation and a decision from the perspective of two worldviews or religions: Christianity and the second religion of your choosing. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to you. Examples of faiths to choose from including Sikh, Baha'i, Buddhism, Shintoism, etc. In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions in detail for Christianity and your selected faith. Refer to Chapter 2 of Called to Care for the list of questions. Once you have outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis from each perspective. In a minimum of 1,500-2,000 words, provide an ethical analysis based upon the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with insights gained from your research, and answering the following questions based on the research: How would each religion interpret the nature of George’s malady and suffering? Is there a “why” to his disease and suffering? (i.e., is there a reason for why George is ill, beyond the reality of physical malady?) In George’s analysis of his own life, how would each religion think about the value of his life as a person and value of his life with ALS? What sorts of values and considerations would each religion focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia? Given the above, what options would be morally justified under each religion for George and why? Finally, present and defend your own view. Support your position by referencing at least three academic resources (preferably from the GCU Library) in addition to the course readings, lectures, the Bible, and the textbooks for each religion. Each religion must have a primary source included. A total of six references is required according to the specifications listed above. Incorporate the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.
