Essays on Balance

The issue of Gender parity in Religion has been a strong point of argument. Even within Christianity there have been varying viewpoints depending on the particular Orders. For instance, orthodox Catholicism did not accord an equal status to men and women, while the later Protestant Orders attempted to change this disparity. However, both the Old and New Testaments are full of passages that clearly demarcate gender roles and place men on a higher pedestal. A similar outcome is seen in Islam as well where women are further reduced to a degraded state of existence. This essay will examine the ...

While we may get distracted throughout our journey by the images or the surrogates of this end, such as honors, fortune, or passion, all of these are ...
