Such distinction is arrived at by differentiating descriptive ancient cultural values from God's will.
In the biblical time, in Israel, biblical texts described the cultural, social, psychological and historical conditions of people. These factors are put into context as they relate ...

Revolution is often; if not always, bloody, and there cannot be a revolution without rebels. These rebels become the hero of their society. If the early American heroes such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and many others had not resisted the power of the British Crown, the American Revolution would have never come to past. These freedom fighters, in search of liberty and freedom, rebelled against a powerful government, though they were the underdog, they won. Not every rebel is a revolutionist, however, anyone who defies authority or convention is a rebel. In the article titled “The Hero in ...

The spectacular gap between rich and poor has much more to do with problems of social inequality in present-day American than any other factor. De-regulation and unprecedented cooperation between government and corporate America in recent years have undermined the idea that all Americans have equal access to social liberties and an expectation of prosperity. The undermining of the American middle class has created new categories of poverty, and has sent the country down a path that seems headed for an oppressive, English-style class system, in which the underprivileged have virtually no hope of advancement. At present, only an activist government with the political will to institute fundamental change can hope to alter the current status quo. ...

Interest groups and factions have existed since the beginning of the United States, as James Madison recognized, and political parties throughout American history have been coalitions of interest groups.

They have been well-represented by the Federalist, Whig and Republican Parties for over 200 years, while in the past the Democratic Party was led by the Southern slaveholding interests and also claimed to represent ...

Total war was the product of modern, industrial society and the tremendous advances in science and technology that were applied to the development of new weapons like the machine gun, the submarine, poison gas, the airplane and the atomic bomb.

The Western constitutional philosophy is based on the concepts of free choice, free markets, and free enterprises.

Freedom and its limits as a concept have traditionally played a significant role in the history of Western thought, drawing attention from thinkers such as Hobbes, Locke, Aristotle, Rousseau, and Rawls. American psychologist, Alexis DeTocqueville regarded personal freedom as the ...

Analysis - America Is In The Heart by Carlos Bulosan

Carlos Bulosan's 1946 book America is in the Heart is a hard-hitting, revolutionary and eye-opening work that examines what it meant to be a Filipino in early-to-mid 20th century America. This was a time when racial segregation, particularly of Filipinos, was rampant, and becoming a profitable, hard worker was difficult if your skin was the wrong color. During this time, Bulosan worked in the Philippines, working hard and pawning personal items in order to help Macario, his brother, finish school. Moving from there to America in 1930, he hoped to find work and a new life there; what he ...

1. (a) Reggae artist, Duane Stephenson

Duane Stephenson is a non-dancehall reggae artist. The reggae sound and beat are not the up-front of the sound; they are the foundation on which his singing voice and his message comfortably perch. His voice is serious even when he sings; he sounds like an old man, probably because he is mature and thoughtful. His fans describe his voice as wise.1

Stephenson’s albums may be too mellow and well, boring to some. His lyrics are strong so he doesn’t let the music overwhelm his message. He ...

1 Samuel is one of the oldest documented writings and it belongs thematically with 2 Samuel. In some editions they are known as first two Books of the Kingdoms, thus leaving 1 and 2 Kingdoms as third and fourth books in this sequence. This is a very logical connection, since all the four books describe chronological events of the years preceding and following the establishment of the Jewish kingdom as an institution. Functionally 1 Samuel is a book of the Prophets (the other two being Law and Writings). This fact tells us that 1 Samuel is not only a ...

According to Buntin (nd) in the myriad of religious beliefs today the idea of salvation is common albeit being defined or even termed differently.

The basic principle is that the sin and wickedness of man has separated him from his maker thus the need for salvation. As earlier mentioned to many religions salvation means different things including oneness with deity, righteousness, perfect ...

Introduction

All through my life, I was born and lived in a Muslim family and neighborhood. I had never thought of associating with people from other religions, especially the Christians, who I had heard many misconceptions about them. I attended a Muslim-sponsored school, where all my peers shared the same religion. Our teachers were also from the Islamic religion, with an exception of one female teacher, whom I realized had a difficult time with her colleagues.
After my parents moved to the United States, the new neighborhood was full of people of different religions: Mormons, Christians, Protestants, Hindus, Buddhists, and ...

How does the divine decree relate to the attributes of God?

Answer

The divine decrees regulate the operation of the attributes. The actions of God can no more be separated from the decrees of God than the actions of a man can be from his decisions. The divine decree relates only to God’s opera ad extra or transitive acts. The divine decree, consequently, comprehends only those events that occur in time.

The purpose of this paper is to differentiate the Medieval Art from Renaissance Style. The way to study the present is to first study the past; hence, the Renaissance style that flourished in the beginning of the 15th century was nothing more than a rebirth and continuation of the classical styles whilst breaking free from the traditional religious concepts of the Medieval Period. The Middle Ages or commonly known as the Medieval Period is a part of the European history dating from the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 A.D. Erstwhile, in 395 A.D., the Roman Empire was ...

INTRODUCTION

Song of Solomon is one of the books that have been mistaken by most bible readers who interpret it differently from its initial intended revelation. Song of Solomon is a book that speaks of true and pure love that a married couple shows to each another. Most people take it literally to show the blossoming love life between Solomon and the queen of Sheba. Even though that was the context that Solomon used to write the scripture, it has a very different meaning that relates to the love that Christ has for the church, his bride. In this research ...

- Question on Philippians 4: 10-13
Paul is writing to the Philippians while addressing some of the pressing issues of the new church. In the book of Philippians, Paul focuses on thanksgiving as important to the Church. Here is the paragraph of the verse: The structure of each sentence starts with the (I), thus reinforcing the individual aspects of the story. So what about the other grammatical arrangement of the essay? In many sentences, the subject and verb alone cannot express a complete idea. The idea only becomes whole with the help of verbs and other nouns. Different verbs are ...

The deep influence of Judeo-Christian heritage on the civilization of the West is evident from the current notions of human rights and human dignity, innovations in the field of medicine and science, universal education, humanitarian habitual traits and their extensive contribution to arts.

Both the liberal media and active humanists have joined forces over the years to focus their efforts on providing the American ...

On love

Love seems to have two aspects. There is such a thing as romantic love that spontaneously springs from a person’s inner depths. It is an attraction that one could have to particular person. As a result, one is willing to do anything for that person. One would only like to see that other person truly happy.
On the other hand, there is another form of love. I would like to call it parental love. It is the kind of love that parents have for their children and that siblings have for each other. As with romantic love, the ...

Introduction

The central element and aspect of the Christian Faith is the divinity of Jesus Christ, the founder of the religion. Acceptance, belief and confession of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Savior of the world and humanity is the most basic element that distinguishes a Christian from a non-Christian. This shows that Jesus Christ is the foundation on which the entire Christian faith is built. As such, every Christian must give reverence to Him and to His position as the pivot around which every other thing in the spiritual world revolves.
The idea of Jesus being ...

Saint Basil the Great was bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia when he fought against the Arians despite grievous threats from the Arian king Valens. He has reformed so thoroughly the clergy in his diocese that other bishops sought his help in assisting them in their dioceses. His greatest achievement though was the establishment of a vast hospital and work house outside the city of Caesarea, which came to be known as the “New Town,” and later renamed Basileiad after his death (Laux, 1930). In the sermon, “Prayer must come first” (Everitt et al., 1985) he explored prayer and service ...

Term Paper: Jean Jacques Rousseau vs. John Locke

One of the elements to consider when understanding the kingdom of God is about the timing. Some scholars in the theology field argue that the kingdom of God is after the time of Jesus on earth, others hold that the kingdom is a present reality in the time of Jesus. The recent scholars argue that the Kingdom of God is about the present and the future time of Jesus. Scholars on favor of the future timing of Jesus argued that Jesus was crucified, not because he was willing to, but because he wanted God to set His kingdom. According ...

In the Holy Christian Bible, it is written that God engraved Ten Commandments for the Israelites on two stone tablets. According to the set record, it is estimated that this event took place almost three thousand five hundred years ago. The goal of the commandments was to mark God’s covenant with the Israelites in which, from that point forward the Israelites were Gods chosen people. Later, the Israelites mingled with other nations and introduced the commandments to them allowing them to study the same. The Ten Commandments have since then influenced people ...

Grief is a fact of life that is inevitable. Through loss, pain and suffering in any way, one goes through grief, with each individual with their own way of handling grief. How one chooses to handle grief is entirely up to the individual and their personality, their environment and the social support structures they have to aid them through this process. In an attempt to explain and understand grief and the process of grief, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross hypothesized the “grief cycle”, otherwise known as the five stages of grief. In this paper, I will seek to critically look into ...

There are many theories, on how mankind appeared on Earth. However, from the dawn of human civilization, it was divided onto two main groups: The one which believed in Religion and God, another one – more realistic, well-grounded with the fundamental studies that side with science and nature.

It is a phenomenon, which is inherent in human society throughout its history and encompasses almost the entire world's population, it turns out, however, to be an area that is still not completely understood by many people. One reason for this seemingly strange ...

The book of Revelation is without a doubt the most cryptic or perplexing book in the Bible. It is for that reason that despite the number of years the Bible has been in existence, it has no single interpretation agreeable to believers and scholars alike. Various people have interpreted it differently and such there exists several schools of interpretation. These can be generally grouped into four; the idealist, the historic, the futurist and the preterist school of interpretation.
The idealist school also known as the spiritual view holds that the book of Revelation and more so the events, do ...

During the Period of Romanticism, a lot of literary pieces were written. There were resounding themes among these poems and pieces. Many authors, no matter how different their timelines were, had similar themes when it came to their pieces. You can see that their beliefs were intertwined.

For those who consider the disputed 2000 Presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore to have been controversial, the story that takes place just before the opening of Sophocles’ Antigone must seem downright barbaric. If you consider the chaos that the previous year or so had brought down on Thebes, Antigone’s wrath could just as well be considered the bellowing of an entire city, weary of its rulers’ drama. Oedipus had died after blinding and exiling himself, on the heels of discovering that he actually had fulfilled the Oracle’s prophecy of killing his father and ...
