Jesus in the Bible:The Bible is not designed as a how-to manual for rules of life. Ultimately the Bible is a collection of stories and correlations between the Old and New Testament that show God’s plan of redemption for man in a fallen world through Jesus Christ. By looking for references to the Old Testament in the new Testament, paying special attention to the stories of salvation and redemption from sin, and using typology to identify foreshadowing’s of Christ in the Old Testament are all ways that we can help identify the works of God through Jesus in both books of the Bible.How to live out what you learn:Ultimately, we must apply our knowledge gained through the study of Scripture to our life in meaningful ways to allow the purifying beauty of Christ work through us. Utilizing the four questions for application as outlined in Everyday Bible Study of Duty, Character, Goals, and Discernment (Page 178) offers us a framework to apply to all situations and facets of life, both consciously and unconsciously. This framework is vital to helping us see things through God’s ultimate vision and brings us in closer unity to his ultimate goals for us on Earth.How to study the Old Testament Genres, Part 1: LawAt the fundamental level, the law reveals our guilt before God. The laws function as a mediator for fallen man and gives us a powerful provision to remedy our sinfulness. To study the law, we must consider first the historical and cultural issues that may require further understanding to know what the law in relation to. It is also useful to categorize laws that are applicable to modern day and those that may no longer be as relevant. The New Testament addresses this to some degree with affirmations from Jesus. Other laws help us to identify things that are of most importance or value to God his desires. Using our power of discernment to identify these important characteristics of law and the genre of law will help us study and apply the concepts presented in a useful mannerHow to use multiple translations:According to EBS (page 94): “When you compare several translations and find different words or phrases in each of them, this is noteworthy. In this case, the translation committees do not agree on the best way to express the word, phrase, or sentence in English.” This means that while they do generally agree on the overall message, there will be certain words or phrases that could possibly have a different connotation in English. Utilizing multiple translations, especially those that cover a spectrum of translation types, and then measuring these against one standard text to stay on track are all useful in effectively studying multiple translations of biblical texts.

Chapter 15 – How to make accurate observationsOne of the key steps when it comes to making accurate observations is identifying first where one lacks. Lack of acquaintance with the bible, depending too much on source material, and observing in a distracting environment are all major reasons why many observation attempts fall short. The reason for observation is to find important information in a passage, evaluate the information, and create an analysis on the scripture. Some elements that are looked for in observation are “elements of structure, relationships, parts of speech, and grammar” (Cartwright, Hulshof, 2019 p. 91). This allows us to start asking the questions of who, what, where, when, why, and how which is discussed more in detail in future chapter 17.Chapter 16 – How to use multiple translations of the BibleEach translation of the bible undergoes strict analysis and has a translation committee behind it. Many verses are the same between multiple translations and committees, however the are bound to be a few verses, words, or phrases that differ between each one. The goal of observing multiple translations is to be able to identify details in passages that may need to be studied further. There are many steps that can be taken when making observations across multiple translations: “Stay Simple,” “Use Three to Five Translations,” “Choose translations that cover the full spectrum of translation types,” “Choose a base text as the standard comparison,” and “color code your work” (Cartwright, Hulshof, 2019 p. 96).Chapter 17 – How To Ask QuestionsAsking questions is an excellent way to start moving past just reading the Bible but truly being able to understand it. Who, what, where, when, why and how are all important questions that need to be asked by those that read it. Most of the questions are self explanatory in either the reason it’s asked or what the answer will be. The question of why is the hardest yet likely the most important to understand. Why can be difficult as not in the question but in deciphering the answer. The answers to each of these questions can have crossover with each other which is okay as all the answers are true.Chapter 31 – Apply: How to Live Out What You LearnThe last and final step when observing, studying, and analyzing scripture is learning to apply it to ones life. There have been many thought out and discussed suggestions on how to apply what is learned to ones life such as: asking nine questions as they relate to numerous relationships of your life, creating an application nerative, and comparing your needs to the needs of the Bible passage (Cartwright, Hulshof, 2019, p.176). There are four questions for application: Duty – what should I do, Character – who should I be, Goals – what should I pursue, and Discernment – how can I distinguish truth from error? By asking these questions, either consciously or subconsciously, “We are being shaped and molded into the image of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit as he works through the Word of God” (Hartwrgith, Hulshof, 2019 p. 179).References:J. Cartwright, C. Hulshof, Everyday Bible Study, Second Edition, 2019

Each week we will be looking at a set period from our past. Although these are our ancestors, it will seem like we are studying a distant planet, inhabited by people with the strangest of habits. Fortunately, these subjects of our observation give us abundant clues about who they are. Their art, their writing, their technology, the way they do business, the way they governthemselves all feed into a picture we will attempt to paint for ourselves each week. Understanding who they were will help us understand who we are.Each week you will be given three or four questions pertaining to important topics covered in the materials provided in the question itself, the textbook, the lectures, the other materials provided, and my comments in my Live Session. You choose the one question you like and post a response of 125 words or more. You also need to respond to another post from one of your fellow students. This second post should be at least 60 or so words long and should not just agree with or repeat what has been said.Please always use an example that has not already been used in the discussion.European monarchs followed the example of Louis XIV and one of them is well described in your book, Frederick William of Prussia aka Frederick the Great. What does his palace Sans Souci and what we know about him personally, tell us about the way he saw his world and promoted his power? Frederick the Great was an aggressive monarch who built his kingdom into what would become the German nation.Your book makes the point that, in many ways, Classical music is a reaction against the Rococo and its wild exuberance. Why did symphonic orchestras form at this time? What composers used this form to express a new world view? How does Classical music reflect Enlightenment thinking?The ancient artwork traditions of China and Japan began to enter the European world as European trade became a huge business and cultural exchange. Europe fell in love with what came to be known as chinoiserie. The reality is that China was an ancient and quite advanced civilization, scientifically far ahead of the West in many ways. What Europeans saw as exotic artifacts from a mysterious land reflected the many cultural traditions that melded to form Chinese culture in the 18th Century. What are some examples of chinoiserie and other artifacts of Asian culture that became so popular in Western Europe? Why were Europeans so enthusiastic about anything Asian? Why do you think Europeans were so arrogant about their self-conceived superiority?Chapter 26 covers both the American and French Revolutions. Both proclaim liberty for all but America built slavery into its most important founding document and the French kept the Haitians enslaved until they too fought to free themselves. Why were slaves so important to both countries? How did slavery become a huge international trade system? How are slavery and racism connected in America?Many of our oldest and most important buildings in America are Neo-Classical in design. Our nation’s capital was laid out in the midst of this design period. The documents created by the political leaders of the time were also built on Greek and Roman ideas. Recent events in Washington make it seem as if this architectural style doesn’t work in 2021. Strains and stresses in our society tend to indicate that our founding documents might need deep re-examination. Are we being constrained by following these 200 year old documents? What about them should be changed if anything, to bring about an America where we are all equal and free? Should we stop using these ancient buildings in exchange for greater security?

How might a realist and a postcolonial theorist criticize Ikenberry’svision of an international order? Please discuss one criticism from eachposition: realism and postcolonialism. Use the course readings by Kaufmanand Loomba as your primary resource for these theories

Answer the following questions using the textbook only (chapters 7 and 8). Remember to cite your sources–I know it’s only one source this week, but it’s good practice! Foot Notes Only!1) What was Jeffersonian Republicanism? How did it differ from the prior Federalist administrations of Washington and Adams?2) Why did the French want to sell Louisiana? Why did Jefferson want to purchase it?3) What was the purpose of the Lewis and Clarke expedition? What role did Sacagawea play in that journey?4) What were the primary causes of the War of 1812? What were some of the consequences of that war?5) What transportation technologies facilitated westward expansion and economic growth in the early-19th century? In what ways were they important to growth and expansion?6) What impact did immigration have on the national landscape in the first half of the 19th century? What groups came in the largest numbers? How were they generally received by US society?7) How did industrial development impact people’s lives? Give a few examples. How did it impact women’s roles in society?

For this assignment, you will imagine that it is now 1796; you are a Revolutionary War/War for Independence soldier or a patriot who was unable to fight.Write a reflection paper that explains the conflicting perspectives on the founding of the American nation during this time period. Discuss events that contributed to the development of the U.S. Constitution during this time period. Are the philosophies that you fought for/advocated for decades ago still represented today, in 1796? What principles and philosophes have changed?

APA formatting, however, is not necessary.

Write a five page (1,250-1,500-word) on either topic #1, or on topic 2A, 2B, or 2C, below.The best papers for this project will include not only an expository component, but willmake use of the best relevant scholarship in order to enhance whatever argument youressay is making.1. Write a descriptive and evaluative essay on a song by Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, orBillie Holiday (except “Strange Fruit”), recorded in the years before 1945. You may to write 1about two songs released as two sides of a record originally released as a “single.” In that case,your essay should consider both songs, devoting appropriate space to each one. Your aim is to 2describe what it is you hear and to evaluate the song as a performance work by concentrating onthe characteristics outlined in this prompt. Focus on a commercially released recording availableto the public in the United States during this period. Describe the artist’s singing style and assessit comparatively to other songs she recorded around the same time. Describe the singing and theaccompanying music as clearly, vividly, and precisely as you can. What’s your reaction to theartist’s singing style? How does this particular record help you understand audience tastes duringthis period? Can you relate this song to an aspect of social thought? Does the “social” import ofthe song operate solely on the song’s narrative or rhetorical plane? Or does it “enact,” as it were,a socio-utopian set of values or concerns on a sonic, aesthetic, symbolic, or other dimension? BeThe reference page of your essay on a song must include full discographical data, e.g.: Holiday, Bill. 1 “Strange Fruit.” Billie Holiday And Her Orchestra. Frank Newton, trumpet; Tab Smith, soprano, alto sax; Kenneth Hollon, Stanley Payne, tenor sax; Sonny White, piano; Jimmy McLin, guitar; John Williams, bass; Eddie Dougherty, drums; Billie Holiday, vocals. Commodore 526. Rec. New York City, April 20, 1939.This means that you would be writing, e.g., about both sides of Commodore 526, including “Fine and 2 Mellow.”specific. Write about instrumentalists and their solos, if any. Consider these questions in light ofcomparable records made during that year.2. Write about character, place, or time in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. By choosing tofocus on one of these aspects of the play, your aim as a writer is to discuss your topic in such amanner as to give the reader insight into the play as a whole.a. When thinking about character, consider such features as the individual’s nature,training, disposition, age, fortune in life, sense of morality, the trajectory of the actionthe character takes during the play, how and in what manner does the character expresshim or herself in speech, and how the character fares at the end of the play.b. Considerations of time might include the setting of a discrete action, or of the playas a whole. Other considerations include the relationship between past, present, andfuture as expressed by the action, a character, or by the play generally; theappropriateness of the action in terms of the historical time period in which that action isset; how the characters or the play express the relationship between public life andprivate life; or the relationship between time and circumstances.c. A discussion of place will take into account size of both the theatrical and thefictional space within which the action takes place, that is, the fact of the stage and theportrayal of the play’s fictional lifeworld, including questions of micro and macro space;issues of distance, urban versus rural settings, whether the play treats place as revered orunimportant; how the play shows the relationship between place and the ownership ofplace; and what bearing, if any, the materiality of the place has on the action of the play.

In this module, you will take the research that you have collected from your sources, your bibliography, and your draft thesis statement and outline and create a 5 – 7 page (1250 – 1750 word) rough draft of your research paper.InstructionsThe purpose of this assignment is to help you organize your argument and the evidence you have to support it, and to receive feedback that you can use to create a polished final draft at the end of the course. **Remember that this must be argumentative. You cannot simply list facts about this topic, but instead must take a position on an issue and prove this position.**A draft is just that, a rough sketch of what you want to say in your final essay. It is an opportunity to receive feedback from your instructor on your work, but it is also an opportunity for you to get your thoughts down on paper, move away from them, come back with fresh eyes and revise. A draft need not be polished or perfect – it should be rough and that’s okay. The biggest mistake you can make with a draft is getting stuck with writer’s block because you think the draft isn’t good enough. Drafts aren’t supposed to be perfect – they are supposed to help you think about your work, and let others give you some ideas on how to improve.Your final historical research paper should include an introduction with a clear thesis statement, at least five paragraphs (probably more) that address topics that support your claims, and a strong conclusion that summarizes your argument. Attach your final bibliography (not annotated) at the end and include a cover page (in all formats) with your name, date, and the title of the paper. The title should be more than the topic, and should give the reader a sense of what the paper is about. Some examples:Paul Revere: Statesman and CraftsmanThe Salem Witch Trials: Fear and Superstition on the FrontierThe Frontier: A Meeting of Cultures and AmbitionsMake sure each paragraph contains at least one quote or other supporting evidence from your research, and that you use all your sources – primary and secondary (including the scholarly journal article). Primary sources do provide the best evidence, and a variety of sources provide event better evidence than a reliance on one or two sources. Always extrapolate quotations. Follow quotes with your own analysis or comments and explain how that evidence supports your argument.Quotations should be no more than two – three lines long. People tend to skip over longer quotes. All quotes must be cited as appropriate for the format you have selected – in-text citations for APA and MLA, or Notes for Chicago Style. Remember quotations also require a page number if available in all the formats. Even though quotations are important as support, the majority of your paper (roughly 85%) should by your own words of analysis.You may use illustrations or photographs as sources, but these should not be included in the body of the paper. If you decide that you must include these images, they should be attached as appendices and those pages do not count toward your page length or word count.The body of your paper should be 5 – 7 pages in length, double spaced, not including the cover page, or the bibliography. This is roughly 1250 – 1750 words. Your rough draft is expected to be as complete as possible as this will also be submitted for peer review, but receiving some feedback is better than none – so make sure you submit what you have completed by the due date noted on the Course Schedule. This should be one document in .docx or .rtf format (no PDFs!).One final reminder – Drafts need not be perfect, as you will edit and revise it. It is better to turn something in for feedback, than to turn nothing in and have no information on how to improve the paper late.
