Unit III
1) During week 5 we begin to look at the discussion of Muslim history to an extent. We look at when Muhammad was born and the ideas of how the Quran came to light. Thought it is not something I have ever looked into I figured it might be good to have a reference source for this. Though many look at the Muslim faith as one of anger, its not how it initially started but through much perversion of translations and explanation has had many bad followers throughout the years.
This seems to be a great source of the Quran broken down into English that could give me a better in depth look and understanding of the Muslim religion.
2) In discussions in week 5 we begin to take a more in depth look at how the church starts having more influence on marriage, and what changes it makes. Though to understand how these changes are made we have to look beyond the course texts.
Mengel, D. C., & Wolverton, L. (2015). Christianity and culture in the Middle Ages: Essays to honor, John Van Engen. Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press. doi:https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/osu/detail.action?docID=3441189
This book was instrumental in my look at how the church viewed marriage and what it did to shape and change how many people viewed marriage and still has effect even today with our ceremonies done in churches.
3)On the discussion of church and state I relized in week 6 we do little to dive into Canon law how its established, or what any of the Canon’s might truly be. I decided to pull another source from Britannica again to do some more research
The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica. (2007, September 13). Code of Canon Law. Retrieved August 28, 2020, from https://www.britannica.com/topic/Code-of-Canon-Law
This gives a more thorough explanation of cannon laws, gives guidance on some of them that were enacted, and gives more insight into canon law as a whole. I definitely dug into this website a bit deeper than probably need be, but it defintely helped.
