This document summarizes a study on methods of integrating faith and learning at Christian universities. It reviewed literature on the topic and surveyed students at one university to understand effective integration methods. The top-rated methods involved teacher-led discussions relating spiritual issues to course content. While most students desired more biblical integration, some not primarily seeking a Christian education were satisfied. The study concluded integration is most influenced by teachers and most students want the Bible used more specifically in class.

Final paper clarity - Read First
Just for clarification, this paper is completely about the modern challenges faced by the three religions we discussed in class, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. You need to pick one of the three religions as your focus. You are to write a short section on the similarities of the three religions, but only to highlight how these similarities contribute to the challenges. The majority of the paper is to highlight specific challenges in the selected focus religion, and how they are responding. In order for it to be a challenge, there needs to be two sides of the issue and so you need to state both sides.
You should have studied about issues and problems in your class in critical thinking (if you have not had the class yet, then the outline will help you). You are to use that knowledge to find two or three issues within one of these religions.
To make it even clearer, your outline could look like this:
Introduction
Similarities that contribute to the challenges
The Challenges and Responses of (the chosen religion).
I. Challenges within Christianity (or Judaism or Islam)
a. Issue 1 (for example, homosexuality, abortion, scientific theories that go against the Bible, church attendance, modern translations of the Bible).
1. Some believe that the stated issue is unacceptable in the church because...
2. Some believe that the stated issue is acceptable in the church because...
b. Issue 2
1. Some believe that the stated issue is unacceptable in the church because...
2. Some believe that the stated issue is acceptable in the church because...
c. Issue 3
1. Some believe that the stated issue is unacceptable in the church because...
2. Some believe that the stated issue is acceptable in the church because...
II. How Christianity is responding to the Challenges
a. Issue 1
b. Issue 2
c. Issue 3
III. How Christianity is responding to the issue of the role of women in the church
a. The conservative response
b. The liberal response
Conclusion
Examples of challenges for Judaism would include marrying outside of the faith, the view of the Mitzvot/traditions, Zionism, homosexuality.
Examples of challenges for Islam would include violence/terrorism/Jihad, Sharia law, treatment of women (which would be separate from the role of women in the religion).
Again, you must have a complete introduction that includes both a hook and a thesis. You also must have a complete conclusion that restates the main points and draws conclusions from the objectives. With a longer paper like this the introduction and conclusion should be a little longer as well, so that you draw all of the objectives into them and give clear organization to the paper both at its beginning and end.
The sooner you ask questions, the better chance I have of answering them!!!

The Power of the Blood of Christ by Andrew Murray
Task #2
We can never know too much about the truths that the blood of Christ proclaims. Andrew Murray, through his truly inspirational walk with God, has lifted the veil on much of the mystery of Christ's blood and its precious source of life. He shares the tremendous power that Christ's blood has for each of us if we accept it as our rightful inheritance and rely upon it to protect and enable us to accomplish our purposes in God. Christ's blood can protect and empower you! Andrew Murray, through his truly inspirational walk with God, has lifted the veil on much of the mystery of Christ's blood and its precious source of life.He shares the tremendous power that Christ's blood has for each of us if we accept it as our rightful inheritance and rely upon it to protect and enable us to accomplish our purposes in God.
Andrew Murray- Summary
Live by constantly exercising faith in the assurance that the blood cleanses from all sin and yield yourself to be sanctified and brought near to God through the blood; let it be your life-giving nourishment and power. You will thus have an unbroken experience of victory over Satan and his temptations.
Task #3
Reflection
The blood of Christ not only offers forgiveness of sin, but also sanctification. Hebrews 13:12 tells us that “Jesus also suffered…in order to sanctify the people through His own blood.” It makes sense that God wants us to be in a new relationship with the sin that previously condemned us.The Power of the Blood of Christ by Andrew Murray

24. Voices of students who didn’t indicate a
desire for a biblical, Christian education
There is a lack of integration of different
races, sexual orientations.
They constantly push for Christian worship
activities requiring 20 chapels per semester.
Sometimes faith is pushed on students too hard
and they turn away from it.
It’s getting in the way in science and actual critical
thinking.
Don't push it on non-believers too much, but overall
they are very effective.
25. Voices of students who indicated
support for Malone’s mission for a
biblical, Christian education (guys)
We're always talking to new believers -- I want more.
People are hostile to learning about this when it's forced
on them; those that care will learn and those that don't
care will harden themselves against it.
The topics of faith and Christ never come up in class
unless a student brings it up. This school needs help.
The aspect that I like most about Malone is that the
professors are genuine about their faith and their job.
This passion has a trickle down effect to the students.
This school can no longer be Christ's Kingdom
first, which it barely is now. The liberals are taking over
and we're letting them.
I think Malone does a good job in their teaching of
education and biblical faith.
26. Voices of students who indicated
support for Malone’s mission for a
biblical, Christian education (girls)
Nothing - we are a Christian school that should not be
watered down in order not to offend nonbelievers.
Not a lot of courses use the time to speak about faith because
they need to lecture.
The professors, faculty, and staff show that they truly care
and definitely integrate Christian faith, but it is still lacking
much discussion about it and needs more relation to lessons.
Classes that aren't Bible classes tend to leave out God and
the Bible for the most part -- only one and maybe two often
talk about God. Malone being a Christian university should
plan more of that.
Malone profs are open about their faith and do a great job of
integrating their faith daily.
I can see just by how the professors treat their students that
they are Christians but I feel that they could make more of an
effort to integrate that faith into their lessons.
27. Conclusions
Previous findings confirmed – influence
of the teacher seems to be the primary
(and most desired) factor for faith-
learning integration
Our university’s mission is indeed
supported by students: most desire a
biblical, Christian education
Though students not seeking a Christian
education are satisfied, the vast majority
of students want the Bible used more
often and more specifically in class
28. Why use the Bible in class?
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper
than any double-edged sword, it penetrates
even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and
marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of
the heart.
I Cor 1:28-30a
28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the
despised things—and the things that are not —to
nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may
boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you
are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us
wisdom from God . . .
