ESSAY: SPHERES AND STAGES OF DISCIPLESHIP ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW As we see in the Gospels, discipleship is somewhat sequential. The disciples of Jesus accepted who He was, then they began to follow, then He gave them responsibilities, then they came back, and He taught them more, then they entered a new stage of discipleship. Eventually Jesus left and they carried on in the power of the Holy Spirit.

7 Public Speaking Tips for Beginners

Though many thought that oral tradition was superior to writing, due to the fact that you can capture inflection, tone and other audio qualities, the need for written communication arose. Write a three-page paper (not including cover and reference pages) which addresses the following:

• Compare and contrast pros and cons to oral and written communication.
• Appraise the reasons Geisler and Nix (2012) give concerning the need for a written format of the Bible.
• Defend what you believe to be two of the most compelling reasons for this written format.

Provide support for your statements from a minimum of two sources in addition to course resources. Be sure to format your paper using APA guidelinesGeisler, N. L., & Nix, W. E. (2012). From God to us: How we got our Bible (Rev. & expanded ed.). Moody Publishers.

Concerning eros, Lewis tells us that “love ceases to be a demon only when it ceases to be a god.” What does he mean by this? Where can you see this worship of love in modern society? How does the Bible provide the necessary balance? Include Scriptural references.

o Requirements: 500 words minimum, APA format

Write it using the definitions by the religion expertsUse at least 2 of the definitions of religion pages 11-19 (from Arnold text) the book “The Gift of Sports Indigenous Ceremonial Dimensions of the Games We Love (First Edition)” to make an argument about “sports as religion.” Use at least one definition that connects to the religion of sports and one definition which does not connect to the religious dimensions of sport. The rubric is: “Below are three criteria that we will use when grading your written work. The percentages are only to indicate how I weight these aspects of your writing: Clarity. The viewpoints you present in your writing must be clearly conceived and well argued. Your writing style should be straight-forward, easy to read and should be clearly related to the issues you wish to address. Topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph are helpful in establishing the issue and argument for the reader at the outset. (40%) Engagement with the material. Entries are to be related to the reading material. They are not reviews of what has been stated in the book but are your critical analysis of the reading. Avoid direct quotes. Instead seriously take-up what you consider to be the key issues for the study of religion in the reading. An analysis of the issues discussed in the course become clearer the closer your writing is to the texts used in class. (40%) Creativity. The work of Religious Studies, and perhaps the Humanities in general, is essentially creative. Interpretation of religious phenomena requires that you come to some meaningful relationship with your object of study. This is one of the defining characteristics of creativity. You have a unique and important contribution to make to our collective understandings. There are no predetermined experts in the area of interpretation, only well refined and well- argued positions. Your interpretations will be dealt with as importantly as you regard them yourself. (20%) . P.S. I will add the plagarism and ai checker but please double check my professor is very strict! Thank you very very much!
