Hi Gang. I hope you are busy studying away for your US History test on Religion in the American Colonies. To help you, I created a set of flash cards over at quizlet. You can find those here.

Comment on the Great Awakening
I hope you all have enjoyed learning about religion in the American Colonies. This week you have been reading about the Great Awakening. Why was the Great Awakening "great"?
First, it happened everywhere in the colonies: north and south, urban and rural, east and frontier.
Second, all social classes were affected: rich, middle class, poor, slaves, educated, uneducated.
Third, it covered decades: from the 1720s to the 1760s.
Fourth, conversions numbered in the thousands. Contemporaries did not keep a record, so the exact figure is unknown. But crowds as large as thirty thousand heard Whitefiled preach.
Finally, it changed American religion dramatically. Evangelism gained a new prominence. Also the number of Baptist and Presbyterian grew significantly.
As a fun and "helpful" assignment today I would like for you all to post a "Comment" below and list one result of the Great Awakening. Hint: there are 10 of them so each of you should be able to list at least one. (Do not duplicate someone else. There is plenty to go around.)

When Christian and Hopeful are taken to the Doubting Castle by Giant Despair, Christian remembers the key in his bosom. But what specifically is this key?
It is a synonym for the truth of Christian’s book or Bible embedded in his bosom or heart, though recently neglected. More particularly, it is the encouragement of Christ to those given to him by the Father. When we find ourselves to be "down" we need to remember to look "up." And who better to look to than the source of truth. Christian realized he had neglected to be in the word. The way to change ones heart is to first change the mind. How do you change the mind? You must focus on the truth and we find that truth in God's word.

Week 8
Happy Monday to you all! Can you believe we are beginning week 8 of co-op? It sure seems to be going by quickly.
Below is the schedule for this week. If you have not realized it yet, next week is a break week. It occurs just at the right time. We will have a test on Friday on BJU History and also finish up Pilgrim's Progress at the same time. We will be reading the Foundational American Documents next if anyone would like to get a head start.
I want to encourage you guys to finish strong this week. Be sure to read and reread your history text for your test, study the section reviews and chapter reviews, then make sure you know all of the key terms.
And as you finish up Pilgrim's Progress, be sure to stay the course to the end as Christian did and finish it up as well. I'll be back tomorrow with some more insight into Pilgrim's Progress.

Reading Assignment
ALERT! Tuesday's Omnibus Assignment should be Session VIII, not VII.
Hi Class. I hope your week is going great! I just wanted to point out that your reading assignment for the week has your repeating some pages. You do not need to reread those pages, they are just a reference to let you know that some of your Session questions will come from those pages. Hope this helps.
There is a lot to be seen in the town of Vanity Fair. I hope you don't miss it. Do you see any similarities to it and the town Christian left?
