We had seen “the largest and most systematic projects- centering in the 1820s and 1830s – stemmed from broad evangelical groups, first the Congregationalists and Presbyterians, then the Baptists and Methodists” (Butler, Wacker and Balmer 187- 188). On the other hand, “evangelical religion, espoused especially by lower-class and lower-middle-class whites and slaves, challenged the culture of honor….. Besides mission, evangelical reformers spearheaded the growth of literacy in general and the…

Paul Tillich was considered an intellectual German American Christian existentialist theologian, who impacted theology in the 20th century. Given his background, Paul grew under a Lutheran Pastor, Johannes his father. He studied theology and attended seminary and earned two Doctorates at the age of 21. He enlisted in the German army as a Chaplain and was placed on the deadliest post in this war. Here he wrote his father stating, “Hell is all around us. It’s unimaginable” (Taylor 2017). This…

Serrano-Serra’s actions were tangential, without any culpable knowledge, and bolstered by his redemptive act and do not, therefore, bar him. Furthermore, the persecutor bar should not apply to Serrano-Serra because the accurate interpretation of the persecutor bar includes an exception for duress, requiring those barred to possess personal culpability in their actions. I. Serrano-Serra neither assisted persecution nor had sufficient knowledge of it occurring because his actions, when viewed as…

of those two were how he imagined an unfallen woman on Perelandra would be like. However, because he was making an unfallen character, Lewis should’ve simply modeled the Green Lady like Eve, unless in his mind Eve was a mixture of a pagan and a Christian. Nevertheless, the Green Lady is like a pagan goddess in her almost otherworldly-like beauty. Besides the fact that she is of an inhumanly green color, she also has an entirely Greek goddess-like relationship with the animals of Perelandra as…

CITING King Arthur's knights believed seeing the grail was the highest and most noble goal. CITING for Christians the Holy Grail is a symbol of Jesus Christ and his the betrayal. CITING we have a heard that the Holy Grail was a vessel, from which Jesus…

In the book of Judges it is evident that Israel’s constant disobedience in the eyes of God has led them in a downward spiral in history. As Israel goes deeper into rebellion and chaos, the cycle of rebellion remains and the judges themselves deteriorate. In the prologue of the book of Judges there is a recurring cycle of apostasy, oppression, penitence, and deliverance. The judges were all endowed by God to lead His people, but they were not always leaders of ideal character. In chapter one the…

The main character is Everyman, he symbolzises humanity. In the beginning we hear god speaking of everyman in disappointment because he is seeking material objects over fear of god. So he decides to send everyman on a pilgrimage that will certainly kill him, and he is allowed to bring people with him, but they gotta be willing to accompany everyman on this deadly pilgrimage. But who will be willing to certainly forfeit their lives to help everyman? This is the dilemma that everyman is faced with…

only thing to do, how marriage is between one women and one man, and how homosexuality is not natural and consequently should be suppressed. I found the sermon humorous, since the pastor called the Christian attitude “alien” to this world, so throughout his sermon he referred to his ideal of Christian sex “alien sex”. By doing this, the pastor was stigmatizing his own religion by identifying his congregants as deviants within the larger society. He also related suppressing desires to basketball,…

The four stages of the catechumenate are precatechumenate, catechumenate, purification, enlightmnet, or Illumination, and mystagogia. The first stage of catechumenate is precatechumenate; this stage is about evangelization and initial conversion. He or she heard the good news and wanted to learn more. At this age they are called inquirers. They then find a good member to be their sponsor. Then the church celebrated the rite that admitted the inquires into the order of catechumens. This stage is…
