506: Discussion Board 01 Instructions and Grading Rubric

Read all instructions and rubrics carefully before writing your discussion board. You are responsible for having read and understood these documents.

VERY IMPORTANT: After viewing the assigned video on “The Rise and Fall of Nations”, synthesize the information from the video into a response to the following question: “What is the responsibility of Christians with regards to geopolitics and the mandates of the Gospel?”

To access the video, “The Rise and Fall of Nations”, use this link, http://itunes.apple.com/us/course/id530190642. If you do not have iTunes, I suggest you install it, please do so (it is free). “The Rise and Fall of Nations” video is number 3 on this list. Then click “View In iTunes”. You should be able to view the video by simply doing that. It is free and does not require you to log in or an account of any type. (To access and view video is completely free).

Not only will you cite the video itself, but you will also use and cite 3 biblical scriptures for support. These scriptures MUST be appropriate, and not picked at random or even used randomly. This PDF file “Survey of Geopolitics” by Saul Bernard Cohen gives you insight into what Geopolitics is, like its definition, etc. Also read the PDF file “Territory, Typology, Theology-Geopolitics and the Christian Scriptures”. Remember to cite all sources by also including their correct page number. All files will be in the “Additional Files” area of this order. With video, biblical scriptures (Bible), and PDF files, that’s a total of 4 sources that must be used and cited.
