VIOLENCE AND RELIGIOUS ETHICSThis is a featured page

Each student should select one article from the list below and put your name and today's date (whatever date today may be) AT THE END OF IT of it IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND BLUE FONT. During the appropriate week, complete the reading, write a summary of the reading, and also post it ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL BLOG. All postings should appear before class. Each article may be assigned to one student only, so choose early and choose wisely. You can change your mind later, but your choices will then be limited only to those articles as yet unclaimed. However, new articles will be added by me as they are located throughout the semester. (Feel free to let me know if you find something appropriate, but DO NOT POST IT ON THESE PAGES - I WILL POST IF APPROPRIATE).
