The Journey of Modern Theology: Chapter 8 Dr. Durst when you gave us the choice of reading Chapter 8 “Theologians Look to the Future with Hope” (eschatology) or Chapter 12 “Postmodern Theologians Rebel against Modernity,” I knew I had to pick chapter 8. I believe that many Christians fear the topic of eschatology, because it is not clear as some other topics in the Bible.

Carl von Clausewitz and Sun Tzu, unlike Antoine-Henri Jomini, thought of military leaders as artists, not scientists. The battlefield was always evolving and the enemy does not always react the same way. A good military leader must have the ability to react to the enemy.

If something makes you happy, does that mean that it is the best action? In the theory of Utilitarianism, there are two "creators," Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. They put forth the idea that actions are right only if they increase happiness, and are wrong if they result in unhappiness. In this essay, we explore the theory of Utility, and then understand the theory through Plato’s two challenges, whether an action is good beyond what a group or individual in authority claims, as well as if…

The older Victorian generation was described as “prudish, hypocritical, stuffy, [and] narrow-minded,” which is why many thought that they hated the flapper (Murfin 496). They were not able to accept the change coming after World War I. Many wanted to go back to how things were before the war. However, there was nothing to be done to stop the movement.
