“So there are two quite different Islams, an Islam that is in some sense a women’s Islam and an official, textual Islam, a men’s Islam” (37). Leila Ahmed writes talks about this idea of a “men’s” and a “women’s” Islam in her article “A Border Passage from Cairo to America- A Women’s Journey.” In thus articles she notices that there tends to be a division between the Islam of men and the Islam of women. “Men’s Islam” is primary written and concerned with the idea of orthopraxy, or right practice…

Ethical Dilemma Thousands of women have chosen the option to have an abortion, some because of medical reasons, some financial and some have even been forced into the decision from friends, families, and spouses. However, what exactly makes one except the fact that abortion is neither right nor wrong. Can we solely base this on women’s rights and women’s choice only? I will examine the abortion ethical dilemma per the Christian worldview and look at how another world view perceives the…

Learning to live a Christian life is one thing, but living out what we have learned is another story. As Christians, I think we have a greater responsibility because we know how the world should look, and we need to step up and lead the people around us. In order to share the gospel with others, we have to take a look at what God is calling us to do. Leading others consists of knowing what the Christian life looks like, sharing that with others, and staying faithful and truthful in what we say…

Just like human creation itself, a baby is born, it grows up, grows old, and later is followed by death and then hopefully eternal life.

The Bible as we know it comes with two parts: a New Testament and Old Testament, but we are going to focus in on the New Testament. How was it…

Supporting his argument with three different examples from the Old Testament and multiple from the New Testament, Sider shows how the implementation of processes to promote economic justice evolved in the Bible, while at the same time showing how the spirit of God’s will, or the law, never changed. Sider also views the…

Charles Grandison Finney, an American Presbyterian minister, not only introduced a new preaching style, but he also introduced the idea that Jesus was only going to come to the world by human action. With the support of the Manhattan-based Association…

Relationships between characters often give us a peek into the overall message that a book is trying to get across. This is is especially obvious between the parents and children in As I Lay Dying. This dynamic is mirrored through the implicit parental relationship between Janie and Pheoby in Their Eyes Were Watching God. The decaying relationship between Addie and Darl in As I Lay Dying represents the deterioration of the Bundren family as well as the pessimistic nature of the book, while the…
