Tillich argues “faith precedes all attempts to derive from something
else because these attempts are themselves based on faith.” How does this point of view relate to the
idea that it is meaningless to ask if God exists. How does the unsuccessful attempt at describing “God” relate to the limits of symbols and the types of faith? How is faith (and its associated phenomena) expressed in Lame Deer’s Vision quest?

Final Paper
Below are some thoughts and clarification for the final paper due at the end of Unit 7.
Here is the prompt:
From your study of the kingdom of God, God’s covenants, and “Temple” (God dwelling with his people), write a 5-6 page paper on the following topics:
How do these themes help us understand and interpret the Bible?
How are these biblical themes related and interconnected?
How are these themes developed in Scripture (the growth and expansion of the kingdom of God; the use of covenants to administer and expand the kingdom; the expansion of Eden to the ends of the earth)?
From your study of these themes, what can you apply to your life?
Please note the final paper represents a capstone or summative assignment for this course. You should interact with and cite all the required materials from the course (the three textbooks, course videos, and Scripture).
These are questions to get you going and to help direct your paper. You do not need to answer them woodenly or one by one in your paper, but your paper should touch on all these issues and questions in one way or another. Please make sure you have a clear purpose statement.
Here are some reminders of the major criteria I use when grading:
1) Is the submission on time?
2) Does the paper meet the minimum number of pages (not including title page and works cited page)?
3) Is the formatting correct? Please remember we use Chicago style with footnotes. Ibid should not be used. Abbreviated notes should be used after the first citation of a source. Scripture should be in parentheses in the body of the paper. Please make sure to use and consult the style guide.
4) Is there a clear purpose statement for the paper? I’m happy for you to use, “The purpose of this paper is _____________________.” This is one of the most important things for me. A clear purpose statement guides and directs you as the writer and others as readers. A clear purpose statement organizes the paper for the writer and readers as well. For a paper of this sort of length, the purpose statement should be on the first page (but should not be the first sentence in the paper – introduce the topic first). Please make sure to use clear purpose statements in your papers. So important.
5) Does the paper frequently interact with and cite the assigned sources?
6) Does the author reflect well and properly on the course content?
These sorts of things guide my grading.

Draw a Family Genogram Map (hand-drawn or computer-generated): 40 points
Does the genogram show sufficient detail, making use of symbols provided on the sample
sheet?
Family of Origin Genogram and Analysis.
The assignment has two parts. Participants develop a
genogram (family map) and analysis in conversation with key
family members.
Storytelling and story listening is part of the
exercise and can be a deeply enriching experience.
See Appendix A for example of the form.
The genogram may behand-drawn or computer-generated. It needs to include at
least three generations of your family.
Learning Objectives for Family Genogram
You will be able to:
identify key patterns within their own family of origin
make connections between experience in their own family and the practice of pastoral care
draw on experience and theory to suggest potentially positive and negative implications for care ministry
Generations to include: If possible, please include three generations preceding your own (i.e. great grandparents, grandparents, and parents). If this is not feasible given age and availability of information, please include information on two preceding generations (e.g. grandparents and parents) and a successive generation (e.g. children). If you have a large family, it is not necessary to include information about everyone; that might be too burdensome. Focus on the significant relationships.
