Artistic Expressions of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Theology

Each student will compile a scrapbook demonstratin" rel="nofollow">ing artistic expressions of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic theology (views of God). Each student must endeavor to provide four distin" rel="nofollow">inctive works (art, artifact, or architecture), at least one each from the three religions. You will in" rel="nofollow">include in" rel="nofollow">in your scrapbook in" rel="nofollow">individual images of the pieces of art – images should be high-resolution, clear, and legally obtain" rel="nofollow">ined (i.e., follow copyright laws). Students should provide a discussion of these images. Each image will be accompanied by at least 4 paragraphs of text, sin" rel="nofollow">ingle-spaced, explain" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing how the work evin" rel="nofollow">inces the theology of a particular religion. A artistic work does not have to be origin" rel="nofollow">inally crafted by an adherent of the religion nor does the work have to be meant to be religious or of a specific religion; but the more removed it is from religion or a particular religion, the more the burden will be on the student to explain" rel="nofollow">in why it is in" rel="nofollow">included. Include a discussion of the artist and the artist’s motives or motifs if possible. You may also assess how well the artist conveys the message of the Scripture, if this was the artist’s in" rel="nofollow">intent. Students must cite all sources and do so in" rel="nofollow">in a consistent established style (APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, or SBL).
