Christian Readings Discussion
Over the past two weeks you read two short passages by two very well-respected Christians - Marcus Borg and Martin Luther King, Jr. For your discussion board, I would like you to choose one of these readings and discuss your thoughts and reaction to it. In your response you can respond to any of the following questions:
why did you choose this particular reading? what interested you about it?
did you find the reading beautiful? or disturbing?
what did you learn about Christianity from this reading?
is there something about the reading that confused you or that you would like to know more about?
Was there an idea or opinion in the reading that you strongly agreed or disagreed with? Why do you agree/disagree with it?
