Through analysis of Johnathan Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”,…

It would be convenient if I could mesh together the Bible and the Koran. It would be convenient if I could say that the God of the Bible is the same God of the Koran. There would be a lot less tension on both sides for some. I simply cannot say that to be true. Through my research on both sides I am convinced that the God of the Bible is not the same God of the Koran.

Race, the White Myth, and the American Bourgeoisie “There is not a country in world history,” Howard Zinn writes, “in which racism has been more important, for so long a time, as the United States” (23). Whiteness—that is, the white myth—is an elusive and ever-shifting qualifier, typically understood to mean “of European ancestry;” however, upon further interrogation, whiteness reveals itself as a signifier of power, class, and prowess in a nation that has thrived in its subjugation of ethnic…
