Like Oedipus, Job is the victim of a fate he does not control. He is the object of a wager between God and Satan. Satan says to God, Job does not really have faith in you. He will curse you if you ruin his life. So, God says to Satan, go and ruin his life, just don't kill him. I think he will hold up. So now Job is driven mercilessly into pain and suffering. Job does not curse God. However, he does not bow his head and take it. He demands that God defend Himself against the charge of acting unjustly. "What have I done to deserve this?" Job's so-called friends tell him to shut up. Of course, he did something to deserve this treatment. Job won't shut up. In the end, God tells Job's friends to shut up. Job did not "deserve" this treatment, he says, but that does not mean that God is unjust. You cannot fathom my way, God says, speaking out of whirlwind. 


The question for today is: "Would God have wanted Job to accept having his life ruined for no comprehensible reason without any complaints? Does the book of Job carry the message: Job failed God's test and lacked faith, even though he didn't curse God? Or is the message: Job passed the test perfectly, and that is why God spoke to Job and told his friends to shut up?

Paul said “ The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. ”

1 Corinthians 12:12

So how does our study of cell parts make this more “ALIVE”?

a project that creatively constructs an “autobiographical” reflection of a victim and a perpetrator of an historical instance of religion and violence. Paired with another classmate, students are each expected to consult historical, social, and religious academic sources (each student is expected to consult a minimum of 3 academic sources in order to complete their share of the project. An academic source constitutes a published book or a chapter/article in a book; a peer reviewed article in an accredited academic journal; an encyclopaedia, etc.) in order to construct their respective autobiographical reflection. (Sources are to be cited in-text throughout the assignment.) For example, if a pair decides to focus on the early modern witch hunts, one student would construct the “autobiographical” reflection of an accused witch, while the other student would construct the “autobiographical” reflection of an inquisitor. In both cases, the goal is to provide a creative construction that helps to flesh out the instance of religion and violence under discussion. Toward that end one could ask: typically, who was a witch/inquisitor? How old were they? Where did they come from? What was their ethnic background? What was their occupation? What was their social class? What were the peculiar political, economic, or material forces that affected their life? What was their religion? What did they believe? How did they act on these beliefs? Who were their friends? Who were their enemies? And how does all this information help us to comprehend the feelings, thoughts, motivations, and actions of the people involved? Finally, each project is to conclude with a comparison and contrast between the two “autobiographical” reflections in search of basic insights about the instance of religion and violence under study. To be clear, each student is to submit their contribution to the project under their own name except for the concluding section of the project which is to a joint effort. Total length of the assignment is to be 2400 words with approximately 900 words for each autobiographical reflection (worth 65% of the grade) and 600 words for the comparison (for 35% of the grade)

You will be required to engage in a faith integration exercise where you will critically reflect upon community psychology from a Christian worldview.

Your paper will respond to the following prompts:
Critically examine the idea of Jesus as a community psychologist. Your responses can take on several approaches by discussing: a) how Jesus challenged social structures, status quo; (b) the community participatory methods used by Jesus to bring about change, growth, repentance (a response to grace but requires personal choice, i.e., community buy in); (c) what made Jesus a good community leader (effective leadership and empowerment in communities - what made people want to get on board with what Jesus was doing)? This might be collaboration. He invited people in regardless of status and allowed them a seat at the table; hierarchy is thrown out.

The paper should follow the APA format, including a cover page and references.
