The culminating assignment of this course is a five-page essay that explores three vital lessons you think the American evangelical church needs to learn from its nearly 300-year past (1730s-present). Use your reading of Sweeney’s text as your starting place. Identify three people/events/ideas/movements out of which arise an important positive or negative lesson for American evangelicals today. When you have selected your three lessons, do some additional research using three to four reliable sources (in addition to Sweeney). For each lesson, answer these questions in your essay:What is the background on this person/event/idea/movement whose story has something to teach us?What specific lesson ought we as the American evangelical community learn from this person/event/idea/movement?Why do we need to learn this lesson? Provide evidence that this lesson reawakens us to something we have forgotten.Use good critical thinking skills, thoughtful reflection, substantive content, and clear, clean writing. You will work on the bulk of your essay and submit it in Week 6.Here are some ideas to get you started:PeopleRichard AllenIsaac BackusCatharine BeecherHenry Ward BeecherEvangeline BoothJames Petigru BoyceBill BrightWilliam Jennings BryanAlexander CampbellJimmy CarterLewis Sperry ChaferW.
