Concrete Responses: Be vulnerable! In at least 250 words (no more than one page), write about a personal life episode that this book triggered in your memory. Relate your story in first person, describing action and quoting exact words you remember hearing or saying. In the teaching style of Jesus, this is your own parable, case study, and confession. You will remember almost nothing you have read unless you make this critical, personal connection. When reading the book, what video memory began to play in your mind? This is your chance to tell your story and generate new ideas.…

Share Jesus Without Fear by William Fay with Linda Evans Shepherd was written to inform the reader how important and how to share your faith with people. It is a book that tries to motivate and teach believers to be successful in sharing their faith (the gospel) in a simple but effective way. The author believes very strongly that “the success of sharing one’s faith is not about winning or bringing souls (people) to Christ it is all about obedience through…
Learning about world religions has had a major influence on the ways in which I think about religion. First of all since I have never really had a set religion this class overall has helped me to understand the differences between the religions. This has influenced me to learn more about my wife’s religion. Before I really never had any interest in her beliefs nor did I bother to ask the importance of my sons baptism, I simply disagreed. I felt that everyone is and should be entitled to make up their own minds when thinking about religion and that a child should not just have one thrown on them. However after conduction the interview I have learned that religion is or can be just as much…
This past Friday January 29, I attended a Jewish Mincha, or afternoon prayer, in comparison to the Shacharis, or morning prayer, held earlier that day. My class prevented me from observing that. I visited Congregation Poale Zedeck in Squirrel Hill just outside of Downtown Pittsburgh. I sat in the balcony with the other women because I was trying to respectfully observe their faith and was very unfamiliar with their traditions. It was a good thing I left my dorm early because I had some trouble driving in the rush hour traffic. The entrance was through a great beautiful stone archway with blue satined glass windows around…
Organized religious groups can be political advocates as well as tend to spiritual needs of people. There is a possibility that they will strike a balance. Religion is a way of life, a cultural behavior. People work in their churches and live through the laws of the practice. Political advocate is the act of pleading or arguing a case or a position; forceful persuasion (The Fee Dictionary, Farlex, 2013). Politics and religion are equally influential. It will be possible for the two to strike a balance and cannot be combined.…
This paper will give a theological analysis, while reexamining the focus of the themes in which I presented in class. I will also share and reflect critically on the feedback of comments and insights gleamed during the class discussions. Thirdly, I will explore and identify significant findings for my personal and spiritual development and future engagement in ministry. And finally, I will give my concluding theological thoughts about the readings, my site, my personal development, and the class.…
Criticisms (Unfavourable): Near the end of the book the dialogue becomes more rhetorical than the rest of the book. This isn't really a problem, but can become slightly confusing at times. The best option would be to read this part slowly and carefully in order to understand what the message is.…
This book was written for more of the common reader instead of a text book. That gave the book a completely different feel and made it easier to read. This book focuses on the idea of what it is like to grow up in a minority religion and overcome obstacles. When we are from a different religion than the majority it is easy to feel like we are alone and find it hard to fit in places. Eboo was a minority of a minority in a heavy populated Christian nation. He took the struggles that happened because of this and used them to create something that is pretty cool. I feel like this is what the assignments that we did were supposed to help us to create something wonderful. I think from the experiences that I had because of this class I will begin to make a difference, but more than likely not create anything as wonderful as the IFYC. By participating in other religions practices I will change parts of my faith and help me worship in a stronger way. It might also let other people feel comfortable asking questions as to why I do what I do and where it comes from. That is all the difference that I think I will make through continuing on through this class. So, I am not going to be as powerful as Eboo Patel when it comes to interfaith work, but because of him and this book I will be able feel better telling my…
