Throughout this class, we have discussed the concept of worldview and analyzed Christian theism, secular materialism, Marxism, Postmodernism, and pantheism/New Spiritualism as live worldview options in today’s world.
In this final paper, you will compare and contrast one of these worldviews with Christian theism, using the “Ten Ways of Looking at the World” you’ve read about in the Understanding the Times text. This comparison will allow you to present your understanding of the two worldviews, as well as examine the beliefs of the non-Christian worldview (as well as your own) in light of a biblical perspective. In each of the “Ten Ways to Look at the World,” note where your personal worldview is similar or dissimilar from the two that you are comparing.
Include the following in your paper:
Section 1: Introduction (only 1 paragraph).
Section 2: The Central Ideas. In at least 1 page: Define the central concerns, major themes, core ideas, and ultimate goals of both worldviews.
Section 3: Compare-and-Contrast. In at least 2 pages: This section is more specific. Explain how both worldviews specifically address the list of “Ten Ways of Looking at the World” in Understanding the Times: theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, psychology, sociology, law, politics, economics, and history. In that given order, compare-and-contrast both worldviews in each of the ten categories. For instance, if you selected New Spirituality: “Christianity says [fill in] about theology, but New Spirituality says [fill in] about theology.” The comparison should highlight the essence of similarity-and/or-difference but it does not need to be in great detail. Meet the two-page requirement for this section but save space overall for the other requirements below.
Section 4: A Logical Defense. In at least 2 pages: State which of these worldviews you find more compelling, and then explain why using logic (aka natural reason). In your explanation, give a logical presentation — without citing Scripture as supernatural revelation, nor personal experience — and a logical defense of your conclusions. Per a philosophy course, the demonstration of critical thinking and the use of natural reason are essential. If you support the Christian worldview, why do you believe, for example, in the existence of God and Jesus as the Christ? What logic supports those essential and fundamental beliefs?
Section 5: Common Ground. In at least 1 page: Include suggestions as to how the ideas from these two worldviews might be able to find common ground and help people live together in greater harmony. Give at least two practical examples of finding such common ground and how this alliance might shape a society.
Section 6: Conclusion (only 1 or 2 paragraphs).
This paper should be seven to eight-pages long (not including the title and references pages), in proper APA 7th format, and include at least three sources outside of course textbooks.

This chapter on Muhammad in adab highlights the eloquence of Prophet Muhammad on four themes: 
Wise advice on conduct, etiquette, and decorum.
Humility and modesty of the believer.
Wisdom and scholarship.
The question of poverty and riches.
For this assignment, I would like you to write a reflection paper on these themes based on the statements, included in this chapter, of the Prophet. A reflection paper is based on your understanding of the text, and so long as these reflections are not very detached from the text, there is no wrong answer.
At the end of your paper, include a question for the presenters. 
Directions:
Essays must be uploaded to the D2L folder before the deadline (see the syllabus for the deadline or check the submission folder). No late assignment is accepted, and no assignment is accepted through any method other than D2L.
Put the critical ideas in your own words and avoid extensive quotations. Use citations to avoid plagiarism (for pdf files with no pagination, use the file page number). 
Your paper should not be less than two pages in length (double-spaced). Do not stop writing after two pages if you have not covered all aspects of the question.
You will be graded primarily based on your effort, content, and the essay’s flow.
