1. My first question isn't exactly a question about anything in particular, but as I was looking over my notes, I realized that I wanted a sort of overall picture of what exactly you expect from us for the final - how much detail we should go into with our answers, what to include, that sort of thing. Because I feel like I studied a lot last time, but ended up still missing the mark a little bit. Although this could very easily have just been me. : )
2. I was hoping to go over the Martin Luther/Council of Trent arguments again... the debate helped a lot, but I remember from the debate that I thought I understood each of the concepts well individually until I had to relate them to each other during the debate, and then I got confused. So maybe help on the 'big picture' for this.
Why does Luther reject the idea of an indelible mark?
I understand Bonhoeffer's opinions on each different methods of responsibility. Does he say the correct method is to unite each of the methods, in allegiance to God?
What is the importance of The Theological Declaration of Barmen? Would the document be covered in the exam?
How should Catholics respond to inquiries regarding JUST WAR? Should we just say that the war must embody all of the requirements laid out by the Church to be just, or is war just wrong? What is the difference between pacifism and non-aggressive action?
Describe the differences between Martin Luther's ideas of "Sola Fide", "Sola Scriptura", and "Sola Gratia."
Elaborate the difference and similarities between the main reformers we discussed: St. Francis of Assisi and Martin Luther. How did they get their pouts across and where did they side when it came to the Catholic Church?
--What are the main points we should take away from the Rule of St. Benedict and Fire Watch?
--What responsibility, according to Bonhoeffer, do we have to act when faced with varying levels of injustice and moral corruption? I could use further clarification on his writings.
1) How are Christians required to respond and react to war in the world, and is it considered just to enlist in a military or government that supports a war, when after World War II it was declared that there are no wars that fall under the Just War conditions? How would Stanley Hauerwas answer this, and what would be his justifications?
2) Did the Council of Trent alter the Christian perspective, or did it merely redefine it in clear, concrete terms? If so, how?
In Bonhoeffer's discussion of "Who stands fast?" how does he understand the man who lives by freedom?
