=//The Ancient East I: A Study of Literature from Persia, India, and the Near East//=

=Essential Questions for Unit Two=
 * What is the origin of literature and what do the patterns found in literature reveal about God, our creator?
 * How does literature portray the thinking, beliefs, and values from a society of people?
 * Why is it significant and essential to learn about past and present groups of people in this way?
 * How has man answered or sought to answer the questions of worldview: who or what is God, who am I and how do I operate in my world?, How can I tell from right and wrong?, when it’s all over, where do I go?, how can I know the truth and, for that matter, how can I be sure that I know anything?, what does my life mean, and how do I fit into history, if at all?
 * Why is God’s name or even the reference to God conspicuously absent from a biblical text like //Esther//?
 * Is it enough to just be beautiful?
 * Why do we live in a harsh and mean world?
 * How can we approach life as a leader when we are not the designated “Leader”? Why should we approach life this way?
 * How can circumstances/ (“fate”) change in an instant?
 * What does it mean to have true courage? Is it worth it?
