Blog assignment #3: "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"
Write about an idea you have about the sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." Your idea doesn't have to cover the whole sermon -- it could focus on one specific passage or passages. Look for ideas from the class activities and discussions that surrounded our exploration of this text. Your idea needs to go beyond just a personal reaction. Your idea should include an interpretation and analysis of specific textual details in the text of the sermon.
Develop that idea with specific details from the text. Talk in detail about the examples you use and how they relate to your bigger idea.
Give your entry a title that fits your idea. Also don't forget to include your name.

Blog assignment #1: a book I read...
Talk about a book
you read that you found
interesting,
provocative, or even mildly engaging.
Identify the title (and author if you remember), and then write a paragraph telling about the book. You could talk about the basic plot and characters if it is a fictional book or some of the topics or ideas if it is a nonfiction book. Be sure to discuss the parts that were most interesting to you as a reader. Also talk about why you would recommend this book to someone looking for an outside reading book--what makes it a good read? What kind of person would like this book?
