Review the readings that we have done for Christianity, and find a reading from one of the other traditions that we have studied so far that you think conveys a similar theme, teaching, or style. (I provided pictures of the two readings)- From the book The World's Wisdom by Philip Novak: Reading 1 (Chapter: Christianity ,Reading: 17 The Crucifixion ) Reading 2 (Judaism 10B The ten Commandments)
What do you think is similar about the two readings? Do they offer a similar teaching? Do they talk about the same theme (i.e. kindness, the divine, how we should live in the world, faith, how we should treat others, etc.)? How are they different (i.e. do they talk about the same theme but give different overall messages? do they use different metaphors? styles of writing?)? Then think about how reading these two passages together, comparing them, can help you to understand each one better. After looking at them together, did you notice anything new or different about the readings that you didn't notice beforehand?
