Learning Goal: I’m working on a religion writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

The essay should be approximately 1000 words and include the following:
1. Use at least 1-2 source from our assigned readings for class; (I attached pdf files at to bottom for this source(reading assgined))
2. Use at least 1-2 peer reviewed source found outside our course readings; (it should not be from internet or Wikipedia, it would be bette from an actual book or from a trustable source from internet)
