4th Q Project
Church History-4th Quarter Project
You have spent the entire year, so far, learning about what God has done in the past 2000 years. If Christ does not return in the 21st century, what do you think God hopes to accomplish through his church? Your project this quarter is to answer this question. You can do this in a variety of formats. You can turn it into a group project or simply work alone. You can research the Bible and Christian thinkers; you can interview your pastor, missionaries, Bible school/seminary professors and/or ICS teachers that might have some insights. The project can be presented as a PowerPoint, a video, or a research paper/essay (for other alternatives, please see me for prior approval). The form is flexible; the substance is subjective; the question is the only constant. What does God want to accomplish through the Body of Christ, his church, in the next 100 years or so?
The project is due the 20th of May. Groups may be up to three people and roughly equal work should be done by each member.
At least one rubric should be submitted with each project:

The spread of Luther’s ideas was greatly aided by the invention of the printing press.
He was supported by wealthy aristocrats.
He was revolutionary – first translation of Bible into German, view of justification, married, words caused peasants to revolt
He was not perfect – he ranted and raved against Jews. Hitler used some of his words to support Nazism.
