That same day, Jack baptized Benin a swimming pool and now they are both

formidable witnesses of Christ. Another section in the book is in chapter 7 page 146, which talks

about the actual history recorded in history books. Not just the bible, but sixty-six other ancient

documents, that states the life of Jesus Christ. Multiple historians and scholars came together to

document their witnesses of Jesus Christ. Jesus' life, ministry, and teaching were recorded into

the 4 Gospels of the bible. One more section in the book is the summary of chapter 6, starting on

page 137. It tells us about the purpose of life on earth as human beings. Humans are not just

another animal, we are here to fulfill the life of God. If God did not exist, there wouldn't be a

purpose of life. When a person denies the existence of God, their soul will forever face

consequences.

I really liked this book, because I am a Christian and try to be as extremely devoted to

my beliefs as I can. This book helped me to be a better Christian and even a better person by

making me realize how badly corrupt this world is and how I should help others. In chapter

    The philosopher Albert Camus paints and bleak picture of the human existence, saying that our lives have no meaning and are, as a consequence absurd, because all our efforts are futile and hopeless. However, if we can accept that choice is intrinsic to a thinking being, then we can admit to ourselves that everything we do, no matter how insignificant, possesses some meaning and it gives our existence purpose. There are two certainties in life deduced by the thinking of Rene Descartes; one is that we are a thinking mind and the other is that we exist. I want to extend this thinking further to include the obligation to choose, find what is sufficient for purpose and meaning and conclude that we have enough in our current conditions.…

    Condoleezza Rice was the first African American woman to become Secretary of State. She is also a renowned political science professor at Stanford University and a concert pianist.

    A Response to Question 1, Section 1: The Meaning of Life: Wolf vs. Taylor Both Richard Taylor and Susan Wolf understand the difficulty of answering the question, “What is the meaning of life?” Taylor begins his “The Meaning of Life” by saying that we do not even understand what the question means to then answer it, and Wolf claims in her own “The Meanings of Lives” that the question is embarrassing to ask because, as Taylor asserts, we really do not understand what is being asked here. Taylor proposes, then, the best way to answer this is to ask what makes for a meaningless life, and perhaps from this comparison, we can find some answers to the original question. Wolf appreciates Taylor’s approach as she also adopts his method, and even though…

    Reflection Paper on Harold Senkbeil’s Dying to Live In the book, Dying to Live, the author, Harold Senkbeil, explores the Christian faith in other ways than the Authors of the previous books that we have read in this class. I feel like this book is one that allows the reader to really understand and grasp certain concepts within the Christian religion. The book doesn’t just blatantly tell the reader what the Christian faith is and why it’s important, but it allows the reader to connect with the ideas and shows the reader how we play a role in the whether we live the life that God intended for us. Senkbeil does this by explaining why our world is “dying” in his eyes and what is done to ensure that God still has a place in our lives as Christians.…

    The meaning of life is a highly controversial topic among humans; one that has been debated for centuries. A particular philosopher, Thomas Nagel, has a certain idea about what the meaning of life. However, I do not agree with his position. Essentially, he believed that life has no meaning and that there is no rationale that could be given to it in order to make it meaningful. Nevertheless, even if everything we do in life will be forgotten, that does not mean humans cannot find meaning in their everyday life.…

    Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom is an excellent book about faith. The author has a great experience and a master’s degree in journalism, which gives him the skills to write books. Additionally, as a child, his schools and university were religious, which gives him the knowledge to write about faith. Tuesdays with Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, and The First Phone Call from Heaven are just three of the 42 books he has written. Furthermore, this book has great points about life lessons and faith, but these three are the most important to me: money could be used in different ways but it does not determine happiness, getting to know people, and giving second chances, and accepting all different religions.…

    In the 1882 collection The Gay Science German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche first stated the idea “God is dead!” a point which he later referred back to throughout his body of work. The death of God has become a widely quoted statement and as such has met various interpretations and misinterpretations leading to a wide general debate as to whether Nietzsche was actually correct in proclaiming the death of God. In answering this question, it becomes of fundamental importance that there must be a clear understanding of what the phrase means and how it is to be read before one can fully analyse the truth of the statement. Theologians have disputed there are numerous interpretations to the Nietzsche’s philosophy, with Hudson suggesting four key meanings: psychological, sociological, ontological and theological respectively .…

    The Abrahamic Covenant is referencing a tribe, where by the time God gives the Mosaic Covenant, the tribe has grown into a nation as was predicted in the Abrahamic Covenant. The Abrahamic Covenant is placed in the first chapter of the Bible, in the book of Genesis, and the Mosaic Covenant comes later in the second chapter of the Bible, in the book of Exodus. The Abrahamic Covenant is marked with signs with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. A sign with Abraham that males must be circumcised and the changing of Abrams and Sarai’s name. A sign with Isaac was the building of an altar and called on the name of the Lord.…
