This week, we wrapped up our first unit on the four major worldviews by looking at Theism, which serves as the umbrella for the world's three main monotheistic religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. While there are of course key differences between these three, they all affirm a belief in both the spirital and matieral, they all affirm a creator and all-powerful, personal divine being, and they all affirm humanity as being made in the image of that creator.
Students had their first quiz, and they were introduced to a new project over the world views where they have to analyze how each worldview sees reality, what each worldview thinks about God, and how each one understands the identity and purpose of humanity.
*All assignments will be available to see on Canvas, sometimes submitted digitally, other times submitted on paper*
Daily scripture readings and responses (called "Find the Point")- completed in class
Four Worldviews Quiz (on Canvas) - Wed. Sep. 23rd
Four Worldviews Poster Project (on Canvas)- due Thurs. Oct 1st
Next, we'll begin to explore how we discover what is true, and how we determine what's right and wrong. Is truth relative? Can morality be subjective? Do all religions lead to the same ultimate truth/reality? Is there someone/something outside of ourselves that helps us determine the answers to these questions? All this and more coming up!
