Write a 3,000 word paper to demonstrate that you understand the nature of the Islamic worldview and the critical differences between Islam and Christianity. The paper shall be developed in formal style, using one of the three approved style manuals: APA, MLA, or Turabian.

In your paper you shall address the following three issues:

1. The Islamic worldview that focuses on the "oneness" (tawhid) of God and the implication of tawhid for mankind.

2. The distinction between Islamic and Christian views of sin and its remedy.

3. The critical point regarding Jesus' divinity, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension.

Your paper will be graded on adherence to style (10 percent) and critical discussion on each of the three issues listed above (30 percent for each issue). You will need to consult good resources on Islam and document your thoughts. For a recommended list of resources, see Extended Resources on the Course Menu. In addressing the issues relating to the Christian worldview, you will be expected to document your thoughts from New Testament passages.
