I am having a hard time defining these terms in my own words. I don't even know where to start
1. Theistic 2. monotheistic 3. dogma 4. transcendent 5. kensho 6. orthodox 7. heretic 8. routinization of charisma
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Have you looked each term up in a good dictionary? Often there are synonyms and even model sentences.
For example, using the Online Dictionary, I looked up "theistic"
I get the noun, that definition, but it also gives the adjectival form:
Main Entry: the·ism
Pronunciation: 'thE-"i-z&m
Function: noun
Date: 1678
: belief in the existence of a god or gods; specifically : belief in the existence of one God viewed as the creative source of man and the world who transcends yet is immanent in the world
- the·ist /-ist/ noun or adjective
- the·is·tic /thE-'is-tik/ also the.is.ti.cal adjective
- the·is·ti·cal·ly /-ti-k(&-)lE/ adverb
Your sentence could be as simple as "theistic is believing in one God or Gods."
After you try your sentences, feel free to post them here for "critique."
