Disney Renaissance

The Disney Renaissance is not a common time that many people know about; however, between the years 1989-1999, Disney had established and created the superlative empire that they are known as today.

In describing these men, Arnold relies on a key presupposition that all humanists were, at a minimum, nominal Christians.

While humanists occasionally clashed against the Tradition and theology of the Church,…

This is proven true in two works written in the Renaissance time named The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli and the Shakespearean…
