1. DUE: Reading Summary Reflection

After completing the assigned reading, students will write a brief summary and reflection on each section of the assigned readings. For instance, in Week One, there are three required reading sections: 1. Three lectures, 2. Reading from Greathouse, and 3. Reading from Wesley. Each of these three sections of summary/reflections should include the following three elements: 1) a short, one paragraph summary of the reading, 2) at least two significant issues gained from the reading, and 3) the student’s reflection on these issues as they relate to their own spiritual life and/or specific area of ministry. In other words, explain why the issues you select are significant for you and for your future understanding of holiness and the Christian life.

Please identify each reading assignment, and then label the first section for each reading assignment with the heading “Brief Summary.” The second section for each reading assignment should be labeled with the heading “Significant Issues,” and the third section should be labeled “Reflection.” These three sections and headings should be used for each reading assignment from the textbooks as well as for the lectures (lectures should be treated as a single group instead of as different readings). Note: your personal opinion such as “This was hard reading”, or, “The reading excited me”, is not what I’m looking for here. As a guide, the summaries for each reading segment should be no less than 300 words. Be sure to use Times New Roman, 12 point font.
