My dear friends, happy Week 6 🙂

This week will have two discussion boards:  The first one will focus on the reading content and the second one will delve into the main components of our writing projects and aim at offering peer-reviews to each other.

This first board will be assigned a letter grade, and the second one will be graded as complete/incomplete.  To receive full credit, we will need to complete both discussion boards.

Discussion Board 1 Questions:

1. Why do bad things happen to good people? Drawing only on the course content, what is the Christian response, and how does that contrast with a previous tradition in the course? (up to 300 words)

2. Please compare and contrast Jesus and Socrates as wisdom teachers and martyrs for their message. Where do they overlap?  Where do they differ most? (up to 300 words)

Once you post your answers, please use the 3C+Q model to respond to at least one other post.  When you engage with someone elses post, please only address one of their answers.

Love you all!

Cheers,
