Based on the lectures and the readings for this portion of the class (four
articles from the Coursepack, “The Very Good Gospel” by Lisa Sharon Harper Ch.3-4, Ch 9-10; “The Bible Tells Me So…” by Peter Enns ch. 2 & 4), write a 500-
800 word reflection paper that addresses how your own background would
respond to this quote:
“Discipleship is quite simply extended training in being dispossessed.
To become followers of Jesus means that we must, like him, be dispossessed
of all that we think gives us power over our own lives and the lives of others.
Unless we learn to relinquish our presumption that we can ensure the
significance of our lives, we are not capable of the peace of God’s kingdom.”
-Stanley Hauerwas, The Peaceable Kingdom, pg. 86
Based on what you witnessed, both personally and socially, speak to how
accurate you believe this quote is in addressing discipleship and spiritual
transformation, being sure to include one of the corporate sins specifically
addressed in the lectures/readings (racism, individualism, nationalism, or
materialism).
