In this assignment, you will identify the consequences of the fall of humanity that leads to human suffering, and describe how a Christian organization fights back for creational purpose.

One of the central components of every worldview is the topic of human nature. The topic of human nature asks questions about human value, human flourishing, and human purpose. Within the Christian worldview, the issue of sin and the consequences of the fall factor prominently into the topic of human nature.

In the “Consequences of the Fall and Contemporary Response” three-part document, you will explore the topic of human nature from the perspective of the Christian worldview. The first part of the assignment involves examining the immediate implications of the fall. The second and third parts of the assignment address how the effects of the fall are still evident in the world today.

Is war a necessary evil Is war a necessary evil

n his book A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War, Joseph Loconte writes:
In this sense, they offer a challenge to those who view war as a ready solution to our problems as well as those who condemn any war as an unqualified evil.
Neither [J. R. R.] Tolkien nor [C. S.] Lewis fell prey to the extreme reactions to the war so typical of their era. “We know from the experience of the last twenty
years,” wrote Lewis in 1944, “that a terrified and angry pacifism is one of the roads that lead to war.” Tolkien decried “the utter stupid waste of war,” yet
admitted “it will be necessary to face it in an evil world.” Their recourse was to draw us back to the heroic tradition: a mode of thought tempered by the
realities of combat and fortified by belief in a God of justice and mercy.1
Is war a necessary evil, as Tolkien suggests? Is war biblically justifiable? How does this fit in with Jesus’ teaching on peacemaking? Defend your position
with Scripture.

Hindu Kamadan vs Greek cupid

What two aspects of mythology are you going to compare? Are you comparing two different mythological cannons (ex: Greek vs Babylonian) or creating a comparison within the same mythological canon (ex: Hesiod vs Ovid or Hades vs Zeus)?
What is the specific focus of your comparison? The focus of your comparison has to go deeper than just determining “the correct version of the myth.” You are not going to be able to compare everything, no matter how interesting or tempting it may be. Therefore, you need to try your best to narrow down what specifically you’re looking to compare.
Now, this is the crucial part. How do you think your comparison changes the way we understand the relevance/meaning/importance/etc of myths, archetypes, tropes, etc in the world? In simple language, what do you hope to prove by creating this comparison and undertaking this particular line of inquiry? What are the unique insights/ideas/perspective you bring to your particular project? The answer to this question will form the basis for your thesis statement in your final paper. a brief description of each side of your comparison. This is basically where you provide a crumb of background information about each side of your comparison (not a whole lot, just enough to get a general sense of what is being compared in your project).
