    The United States’ decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki remains controversial amongst the public. Traditionalists, also referred to as Orthodox historians, argue that the use of atomic bombs against Japan is justifiable on military grounds in order to prevent the costly invasion of the Japanese home islands. On the other hand, revisionists claim that the bombs were unnecessary in defeating Japan and were dropped in order to gain an advantage over the Soviet Union, their prolonged rival. Therefore, I support the revisionist claim which provides substantial evidence in the approved use for the atomic bombs, while the traditionalist claim fails to do so.…

    The principal beliefs of Christianity being the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the nature of God and the Trinity, the revelation and the salvation, influence the life of adherents by providing the core foundations to what they are to live their live based upon.

    In today’s cultural climate, pluralism and perspectivalism reign (Kӧstenberger & Kruger, p. 16). The reliance on personal experience has caused traditional thought to be challenged. An overlying paradigm of diversity (p. 18) has compelled “true” orthodoxy to be challenged, and as a result, heresy is seen as the “new orthodoxy” (p. 16,). In The Heresy of Orthodoxy, Kӧstenberger and Kruger (K2) provide a fair examination of the Bauer thesis which lays its foundation on the major urban centers of the first and early second centuries. The Bauer thesis, as popularized by Ehrman, argues that diversity – not unification - was present in early Christianity; “heresy preceded orthodoxy” (p. 17).…
