Cosmogony – Origin of the Universe Nature of God

Week 8
Islam

 

 

A  world view is a fundamental or basic orientation of thinking – like a  mindset – which guides a culture and / or a person’s life. Like a point  of view, it can be built of concepts, ideas, values, emotions, and  ethics. Weltanschauung is the German word for this idea. Your  goal for this course is to understand the world views of these various  religions. In order to prepare you for your final assignment, you will  outline the world views of various religions in the chart below, adding  to it each week.

For  this assignment, students will complete the weekly area of the chart,  filling in the aspects of each religion as it is presented in the  readings and resources. This chart, when complete, will be the starting  point for the written assignment, due in Week 10.

For each weekly submission:

1. Review  the weekly lectures and supplemental materials provided, then complete  the chart by elaborating on each section related to the weekly content.
2. Identify key details and examples from the weekly resources to serve as a basis for the content being recorded in your chart.
3. Write clearly and coherently using correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and mechanics.
