    Søren Kierkegaard, a 19th century a philosopher, once said, “God…does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.” While Richard J. Mouw, in his book When the Kings Come Marching In, would agree that God redeems sinners he would also argue that God desires to redeem the entire cosmos. God desires to redeem both human souls and the cosmos because both have been infected and distorted by sin. After a careful reading of Mouw’s book, it is possible to piece together a summary of the main points of the book while formulating a response to Mouw’s explanations and his life application. When the Kings Come Marching…

Death alone was not enough: he needed his wrath to be known; he gently laid his enemies upon their stomachs, their arms bound behind them, and used a mallet to thrust a blunt stake through the length of their bodies, making certain that it did not puncture any vital organs.…

    While reading Chapter 6 from Takaki titled, Fleeing “The Tyrant’s Heel,” there was a specific section that was interesting to me. As I read, I could not get my mind to understand why the people of that time just could not find a way to coexist and work together. Certain groups of people were not treated fairly and as a result, attempted to find ways to get a step ahead of the rest. An example of this would be when Takaki is discussing the Irish and the African Americans.…

    The chapter “‘You’ll Never Believe What Happened’ Is Always a Good Place to Start” from the Native Narrative “The Truth About Stories” by Thomas King explores the twisting path of how stories configure who we are, how we interpret, and how we interact with the world around us. Thomas King uses detailed examples in his writing that exceed what he is trying to say. For instance, as a narrator, he tells a story about the moment he discovered what happened to his Father. The narrator's Father left when he was only a little boy, remarried twice, and had seven more children who never knew that the narrator nor his brother existed until the day of all their father's funeral.…

    A border can be revealed not only in a geographic sense but can be seen as an obscurity between two individuals in a relationship. In the short story “Borders,” Thomas King narrates in relation to his childhood experiences, and explores the nexus between borders, the mother-daughter relationship, and their identities. As a Blackfoot Native American woman, the mother sees a border as arbitrary, as her ancestors once had no geographic borders. On the other hand, her daughter Laetitia, has a much less traditional view of the world, and her identity is shaped around her modern interpretation of the world. Therefore, this demonstrates a border that is present between the two individuals and also a figurative border between today’s society and minority groups such as the Blackfoot people.…
