Directions: In a previous week we read the following excerpts from the Hebrew Bible.

1. First, please return to the above pages for a brief review before moving to the next step.  In particular look for qualities of the Hebrew God of Abraham, Noah, and Joseph.

2. Next, please consider the teachings of Jesus in this week’s assignments, most particularly his parables.  After doing so, please list the qualities of the Christian God Jesus presents to his audience.

3. Then, for this writing assignment, first write a paragraph or two presenting the essential differences between the Hebrew God and the Christian God as they are portrayed.

4. Finally, end this writing assignment with a paragraph explaining why the differences.

 

Note: Please remember that since this is a ‘W’ course, the quality of your writing will in part determine the points you earn.  Please turn in a thoughtful, edited draft.
