RLG203H5 Lecture Notes - Morality, Syriac Christianity, Palestinian Christians
Document Summary
Of gods and men: about christians and muslims, look at the prompt before you watch it so you know what you"re looking for in the movie. Theme park that attempts to recreate jerusalem. Attempt to be a 1st century type of jerusalem instead of the modern one. Purpose of this is to educate about the bible and what is happening during the life of jesus or what is happening in the gospels. Different than a shrine because most people are not going there to pray. Performance that demands attention but refuses reciprocity; one sided. Sporting event: as a fan, you are not expected to be physically involved in the event, but just watching it; you don"t need to reciprocate with any actions but just give them the attention. The danger in jerusalem and the holy land experience may also be dangerous. Being told what things are and not really experiencing it yourself; you may not be aware of it.
