RELG 320 Luther: His Ongoing Significance Fall 2015: M-W-F—2:30–3:20 p.m. —HH 311

When the devil throws our sins up to us and declares we deserve death and hell, we ought to speak thus: “I admit that I deserve death and hell. What of it? Does this mean that I shall be sentenced to eternal damnation? By no means. For I know One who suffered and made a satisfaction in my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Where he is, there I shall be also.”1 —Martin Luther’s (1483–1546) July 1530 Letter to Jerome Weller Student’s Prayer

Almighty and most merciful God, we pray Your blessing on all who are joined together at this college: students, faculty, and staff. Grant that we may so work and study, think and pray, grow and relax together, that we may be more perfectly fitted to serve You and our brothers and sisters in the work You have given and will give us to do. Help us to look wide, fill us with high ideals, give us love and good will to all people; and above all, keep us faithful to You under the Cross of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who died and rose for us, that we might always be Yours. Amen.2

Institutional Objectives

This course aims to fulfill the following Bethany Lutheran College objectives for students:

2. To demonstrate independent critical thinking so that they are not shaken from the eternal foundations on which their moral and spiritual growth is based. 3. To demonstrate responsible citizenship and awareness of social realities, through the study of American and world cultural heritage as well as contemporary social, economic, and political issues (includes exposure to other cultures and ethnicities).

4. To experience fine arts and literature as an educated individual. 5. To demonstrate Christian stewardship with regard to their talents and abilities that they be used for the glory of God and the welfare of mankind. 6. To demonstrate proficiency in written and oral English. 9. To demonstrate competency in a major field of study to serve productively as a member of a family, workplace, church, and community.4

Religious Studies Learning Outcomes

The religious studies department has the following learning outcomes for students:

1. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the Bible by being able to explain its structure, history and chronology, genres (such as history, poetry, prophecy), canonicity, interpretation (hermeneutics), and Christocentricity (Christ-centeredness). 2. Doctrinal knowledge: Describe and relate major doctrines of Christianity, such as: Trinity, Incarnation, Atonement/Justification, Law and Gospel, Means of Grace (Gospel in Word and Sacraments), and the Mission of the Church. 3. Historical and denominational knowledge: Summarize and analyze the history and Creeds of the Christian Church by distinguishing between various religious traditions and denominations, and recognizing major thinkers, leaders, and movements. 4. Cultural analysis: Reflect and analyze how the culture of Christianity relates to the cultures that surround it (for example, in regard to ethics, vocation, political-social issues, worship). 5. Textual analysis: Demonstrate the ability to read and critically interpret other religious texts in the light of the Christian Scriptures.5

Assessment/Measurement

Whereas the religious studies department focuses on assessing departmental learning outcome 3 in RELG 320 chiefly via a final exam, all the learning outcomes are addressed, reinforced, and examined through secondary source readings, primary source readings, artifacts, videos, lectures, discussions, assignments, testing, research, historical writing, and research paper writing as they relate to Luther Studies.

Attendance

4 BLC, Academic, 6–7. 5 BLC, Academic, 96. 2

Attendance is not only mandatory, but it also makes up part of your final grade. Your grade will be reduced by two percentage points for every absence beyond 4 class periods, up to a total of 10 absences. Missing more than 10 classes may result in automatic failure of the course.6 In extenuating circumstances, such as Bethany- sanctioned activities (athletics, choir, speech, etc.), serious illness, and emergencies, you need to inform me ahead of time via email or in case of the latter as soon as possible thereafter. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to find out the homework assignment and what was covered in class.

Participation

Participation also factors into your final grade. Therefore, each student will come to class with the reading for the day and any other assignments completed. Active participation in discussion and active listening to the insights of your classmates are effective ways to learn—they require you to articulate and defend a position or opinion you hold, and you may discover, as a result of the discussion, compelling reasons to alter that position or opinion. In the same way, please do not be embarrassed to ask questions or make mistakes. Both are essential parts of the learning process. Finally, remember to treat your fellow students with respect and compassion. It is much easier to speak up and engage in a friendly environment.

Critical Thinking

In order to foster good reading habits and critical thinking skills, students are encouraged to read How to Read a Book,7 The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts and Tools,8 and The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric: Understanding the Nature and Function of Language.9 The Miniature Guide describes critical thinkers as follows:

Critical thinkers are clear as to the purpose at hand and the question at issue. They question information, conclusions, and points of view. They strive to be clear, accurate, precise, and relevant. They seek to think beneath the surface, to be logical, and fair. They apply these skills to their reading and writing as well as to their speaking and listening. They apply them in history, science, math, philosophy, and the arts; in professional and personal life.10

Style Guide

For a basic guide to academic writing across disciplines, writing mechanics, and an overview of styles (MLA, Chicago, etc.) consult the St. Martin’s Handbook.11 All writing assignments for this course must conform to the current Chicago Manual of Style12 or its abridgment A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations13 to be accepted. Biblical theology and Early Christian writing should supplement Chicago/Turabian with the standards stipulated by the current SBL Handbook of Style.14 Note also that practical

Thus, papers should include typed double-spaced text, 12-point Times New Roman font, stapled pages, 1-inch margins, page numbers (in footer and centered), title page, outline, introduction, body, conclusion, footnotes, and bibliography.

History Writing Guides

Each scholarly discipline has its own subject matter, methods, style, and genres. The Methods and Skills of History: A Practical Guide,17 Doing History: Research and Writing in the Digital Age,18 or A Student’s Guide to History19 should be consulted for guidance on these matters.

Electronic Devices

The use of laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices will be regulated. If a student is caught using such a device for non-class related purposes, he or she forfeits permission to use it during class. Cellphones should be turned off during class. Electronic devices may not be used during quizzes or tests, and doing so shall be considered tantamount to cheating.

Special Needs

Please let me know of any special needs you might have that I can reasonably accommodate (such as the use of private testing, oral testing, recorded books, large-print copies, etc.) or of any serious medical conditions that may require emergency treatment during a class session.

Writing Center

Talented juniors and seniors are available at the Ada Stokes Writing Center (HH 217) to provide free consultations for students seeking to produce the best possible essays for any class assignment. The faculty has nominated these students based on their previously demonstrated skills in writing, revising, and polishing essays. Contact the registrar’s office for further information.

Make-Up Work

Make-up assignments, quizzes, tests, etc. will only be permitted in cases involving emergencies, serious illness, or Bethany-sanctioned activities (athletics, choir, speech, etc.). If you are going to be away on a Bethany co- curricular event, you are responsible to inform your professor ahead of time. In addition, you are to submit written assignments prior to an absence unless arrangements were made with the professor beforehand to make up the work after returning. In cases of emergency or serious illness, the instructor reserves the right to request

Unless arrangements are made with the instructor due to extenuating circumstances, make-up work must be completed before the corrected work of fellow classmates is returned. Missing work due to unexcused absences (oversleeping, poor planning, skipping class, etc.) will count as a zero in determining the final grade.

Late Penalty

Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the dates indicated below. There is a 5% grade deduction for submitting an assignment after the start of class, but prior to 5:00pm on the due date. Otherwise there is a 10% grade deduction for each day that the assignment is late. If there are genuine extenuating circumstances for a late assignment, they must be conveyed to the instructor and are subject to his discretion.

Cheating and Plagiarism

In accordance with the academic honor code, the instructor reserves the right to fail any student involved in cheating or plagiarism.20 The MLA Handbook has defined four different forms plagiarism. These forms include “repeating or paraphrasing wording” as your own, “taking a particular apt phrase” as your own, “paraphrasing an argument” as your own, or “presenting a line of thinking” as your own.21
