Tertullian
"What has Jerusalem to do with Athens?"
  • P&P
  • J1 - discuss  
  • Begin HW


HW (At least read the pages below for tomorrow's discussion. If you'd like to stay ahead of the game, finish the journal. Finish the journal for Wednesday at the latest):
J2 - Heroes (29-35): “Our Stories and the Story of God”
1.      What is Leithart's goal in writing this book?
2.      Leithart claims that biblical parallels or "archetypes" can and should be found in pagan literature. What line of argument does he make (pg 30) concerning creativity?
3.      What does Leithart claim is the aspect of being created in God's image that is commonly forgotten? What are those most commonly mentioned?
4.      What about God's (and man's) "making/creating" is different from that of the animals? He (and we) create(s) unnecessary things that display an unnecessary beauty."
5.      What is his line of argument that concerns story?
6.      What are the three “books” of God? 
7.      What is the basic “story” of Scripture that contains all other stories and that all other stories somehow reflect, albeit sometimes in warped (pagan) ways?
8.      What is your favorite quote from this journal’s reading?
