What is the errant position being contested? Who taught it? Where was it presented and why? How did the doctrine come to be contested by the Lutherans?

The Theology of the Person of Christ: A Lutheran Approach Against the Heresies

Confessions. The paper will explore one significant doctrine explored/discussed in the confessions. Students will choose a substantial teaching (e.g., something related to Christology, Soteriology, etc.) and examine the doctrine as it was presented/discussed in the Lutheran Confessions. Careful attention will be given to both the historical context and the theological content of the confessions.
Students will…

• Explore the theological content of a single teaching via a careful examination of the way in which the doctrine was discussed historically. What is the errant position being contested? Who taught it? Where was it presented and why? How did the doctrine come to be contested by the Lutherans?

• Explain the relationship of the doctrine positively presented in the confessions to the teaching of Scripture. How/where is the doctrine drawn from Scripture? How did the Lutherans respond to false conceptions? What is ultimately at stake?

• Explore/interact with what was being taught by critically evaluating how the teaching impacts the Christian faith. How might the errors be exposed as such? How does the proclamation of this particular truth serve the gospel?

Construct a Trauma Loss List of your own (be aware of your own wellbeing and sense of safety while you are doing this). NOTE: If you do not feel comfortable constructing your own T/L List, you may choose a fictional character from a book, movie, tv show, etc. and construct their T/L List.
Immediately after this exercise, practice the Safe Place exercise from Part A for yourself. You may choose additional grounding and centering exercises if you wish (Body Scan, Triangle Breathing, or other grounding exercises listed in the readings).

Following the Trauma/Loss List and Safe Place exercise, construct your “Best Things” List (see example below Example of Trauma Loss List).
Discuss how this experience went for you. NOTE: You do NOT need to share your T/L List, please just share what this experience was like for you.
Discuss how likely you are to use this assessment in your SW practice?
On a scale of 0 to 10, how comfortable are you with constructing a trauma loss list with a client?
If you aren’t at a 10, what would help you increase your comfort level 1 or 2 levels?
Make a plan to install these things into your practice.

To what extent are they separate from each other in the course of the book? What are the messages that the author wants to convey on each of these levels? To what extent does he use different sources and/or different narrative strategies for each one? How successful is he in integrating all the elements to form a single book?

Holocaust

 

The book is written on three levels. It functions as a biography of Emanuel Ringelblum, as a history of the Holocaust (in Warsaw, at least), and as a consideration of the role of the historian in history.

To what extent are they separate from each other in the course of the book?

What are the messages that the author wants to convey on each of these levels?

To what extent does he use different sources and/or different narrative strategies for each one?

How successful is he in integrating all the elements to form a single book?

Now, here are some more detailed prompts:

What is the role of the introduction? How does it help Kassow establish and reach his goals for the book?

Why is the story of Ringelblum’s early history important in this biography of him? What does it add to our understanding of the man?

Chapter Two discusses Ringelblum’s political beliefs and affiliations. Though the text is very detailed and quite obscure for a twenty-first century reader, why does Kassow insist on including it? What dimension does it add to the narrative?

The next chapter discusses Ringelblum the historian. Why is this an important aspect of Ringelblum’s story? N.B. This is connected with what Kassow sees as the overarching importance of Ringelblum’s life and work.

Then there is a discussion of Ringelblum’s work organizing welfare activities in the Warsaw ghetto. Which aspects of the book does it shed light on (i.e. of those I mentioned in the previous prompt: Ringelblum’s biography, the history of the Holocaust in Warsaw, and Ringelblum’s influence as an historian)?

The next three chapters deal with the archive itself, those who created it, and the texts they wrote. Once again, ask yourselves which aspects of the book the three chapters shed light on and in which ways they do so.

The last two chapters tell of the end of Ringelblum’s life and his last actions as an historian. What do they add to the story Kassow is telling?

Once you have finished reading, think how each chapter (or couple of chapters) deals with the three different aspects I raised in the initial prompts. In which ways does it (or do they) add to and enrich the story Kassow is trying to tell and the points he is trying to make?
