Ecclesiology and Eschatology

Use this just to say hi to your fellow students and talk about anything you like.

This is going to be a “real life” case study. You are to find a person who would be willing to sit down and talk to you for thirty minutes to an hour. This person may or may not be a professing believer. This might be a family member, a co-worker, someone at the gym, or even someone from church.

With notes in hand, you are to teach what you have learned in class concerning the views of the millennium.

These are the issues that need to be covered:

• First, start by asking these questions?
1. Do you believe that Christ is coming again?
2. If so, what events to you believe will follow His coming?
3. Do you believe in a millennium?
• Using the notes at the beginning of session 9, explain the various approaches to eschatology.
• Using the notes at the end of session 9, explain the various views of the millennium.

The object of this assignment is to help people to understand the different eschatological schemes. Make sure that you help people to understand that while there has been and will continue to be great dispute concerning the details of the second coming, orthodox Christianity has always believed that Christ is coming back to judge and transform the world.

After you are done, write a half page to a page summary of the encounter and hand it in. Online students are to post their summary in their class forum. Grades will be based upon the completion of the assignment, not the effectiveness of the presentation. Everyone who completes this will receive credit for the case study.

These are the issues that need to be covered:

• First, start by asking these questions?
1. What is the nature of the Church?
2. What is the purpose of the Church? In other words, why is the Church here and not in Heaven?
• Using the notes in session 1 and the last part of session 3 before the discussion questions, explain the various views on the nature of the Church.
• Using the notes in session 4, explain the various views on the purpose of the Church. Have them fill out the chart in session 4 called “Chart of Importance” (but don’t let them see your answers).
