Week 5

No class next week.  Our next class date will be February 19th.

Keep reading Romans chapter 7!  I can't overemphasize the relevance of this passage from Paul's epistle to the themes we'll be dealing with in our discussion of Frankenstein and Jeckyll and Hyde.  As you read Romans this week, consider carefully what Paul is saying about the condition of mankind after the fall.  Here are some important questions to think about:

What did the fall do to our nature?
What is our condition before we are united with Christ?
Which monster (Stevenson's or Shelley's) best  illustrates the condition of fallen humanity?
How does our condition change once we are saved?

See if you can find the verse where Paul transitions from describing his condition as a lost man to describing his condition as a redeemed man.  Hint - watch the verb tenses!

Reading for this week:

  • Aristotle chapter 17
  • Romans 7
  • Section 4 of the Monster-mester schedule
Writing:
  • Strengthening the Proof: complete 1 worksheet for each of your main proofs.  Consider your sub proofs as the evidence given for the main proof.  Modify or change your proofs as you find ways to strengthen them.
  • Create your outline from template 7
