The Post 9/11 Classroom

The Post 9/11 Classroom: Public Talk about Sin, Injustice, and Pain Vicki Phillips, West Virginia Wesleyan College

The critical study of religion requires students to learn to talk in an appropriate public way about sin, injustice, and pain. I will share assignments asking students to reflect on their experience of 9/11 in my introductory Bible classes when we treat the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in 586 BCE.
