    Next, “justification by faith alone" is surely the most important contribution of the Reformation. The second most important, arguably, is the "doctrine of vocation. " In the same way, Calvin’s reformation of the Roman Catholic Church was not limited to soteriology, but extended to an entire world and life view, including vocation. The dogma of dualism that was once held by Gnostic heretics was not fully extinguished in the early days of the church; its influences can still be seen in the medieval Catholic doctrine of vocation. For the Roman Catholic Church, the word vocation was to be exclusively used to indicate the work of a church officer such as a priest or nun; so central was this idea of Holy Orders that it was elevated to the status…

    Locke was a philosopher who claimed that personal identity was independent of all substances, including immaterial substances. Locke says that we continue to be the same person over time if we have the same conscious experience over our lifespan, meaning psychological continuity is the criterion for personal identity. He actually has three different criteria for the continuity of people: psychological continuity, meaning the person at the later time is psychologically continuous of the person at the earlier time; consciousness criteria, meaning the person at the later time and the person at the earlier time have the same consciousness; and memory criteria, meaning the person at the later time must remember the experiences of the person at the…

Even though generally their ideas are very similar, John Calvin’s ideas and concepts about wealth in Christian life from his book Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life are different from St. Anthony’s.

John Calvin’s ideas about prosperity and self-denial allow people to have wealth, but with God’s blessing.…

    ed he “would rather die a thousand deaths” than surrender to Grant (Winik 168). Plus, when you take into consideration that the Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, had already supported the idea of guerilla warfare, it is obvious that Alexander’s plan was a tempting option from Lee’s point of view. Even with all the benefits guerilla warfare would have had for Lee, he still decided against it, largely due to his sense of duty to the country. Lee was the hero of the Confederates, and had he accepted the idea of guerilla warfare, many others resisting the Union would have followed him.…

Luther displays a great deal of worry for the future of the Church, concerning their distinct confinement behind the dominating walls of the Roman Church.…
