What are some key similarities and differences between C.S Lewis book “A Grief Observed” and its Hollywood depiction?
On pages 192-199 in our Luther text, from “The Bondage of the Will,” Luther explains the “hardening of the heart,” specifically with respect to Pharaoh (in Exodus). Pharaoh, Luther seems to argue, is wholly accountable for his own damnation, despite the fact that without God’s grace, he can will no other way. How is Pharaoh responsible for the hardening of his heart and resistance to divine will, when it happens according to God’s immutable will? That is the paradox.
Write an essay in which you critically lay out and evaluate Luther’s argument about both Pharaoh and “so-called” free will. Use this issue to give an account of Luther’s “justification by faith alone” and other key elements of his Reformation theology, such as divine omnipotence and omniscience, anxiety about salvation, Christian freedom, Gospel and Law, Faith and Love, the nature and role of sacraments, etc.
Given space limits, you probably have to be selective, but justification by faith alone is indispensable. How is Luther’s view of the bondage of the will the flip side of his idea of justification by faith alone? And what does this say about human nature, the nature of the will? Those are the kinds of issues you want to concentrate on.
1) Criminal profiling is glamorized in criminal procedural television and movies: profilers can seem to have almost super-sensory powers of perception and are often portrayed as being key to solving cases. In a post to the discussion topic, answer these questions: What was your understanding and perception of criminal profiling before this course? (Feel free to name specific movies or shows that come to mind.) How did that perception change when you read the statistics and reality about criminal profiling? Why do you think profiling’s image in popular culture and its reality in the detective world are so different? 2) Respond to your classmates’ posts, especially discussing the different media examples of profiling and how they mesh (or don’t mesh) with what you have learned about criminal profiling in this module.

Discuss motives based on your textbook readings. Martin identifies craft, compensation, and moral concern. Can you think of other motives which were not included in the text? (additional research may/should be incorporated into your response to expand the topic).
Relate these values (motives) and ethics. Use examples if possible from your experience or reading to explain. Are motives different for different industries and professions? How and why?
Do your motives change over time? If so, why?
