1. When one hears the phase “Day of the Lord” there are usually a few things that run through their head. For the believers, the righteous, it is a day of hope, but for the unbeliever, the unrighteous it is a day of destruction. “The Day of the Lord”, according to J.

a movement that supports the re-establishment of Jewish homeland of the historic Land of Israel (“Oskar Schindler”). “In 1962, Yad Vashem awarded Schindler the title “Righteous Among the Nations” in recognition of his efforts to save Jews during the Holocaust at great personal risk” (Crowe). The title “Righteous Among the Nations” is for non-Jews whose motive was to save the lives of Jews, not for personal gain. Oskar Schindler was a definite model of someone deserving of that epithet. Although…

Isolated and fearing capture by the Nazis, 15-year-old girl, Anne Frank went in hiding for two years with a slim chance of survival. As a way of expressing her feelings, Anne wrote it all down inside her beloved diary. Before her capture in the hiding place, she wrote that “despite everything… people are really good at heart” (Frank 263). How could someone whose life had been turned upside down still say that there is goodness inside everyone? Anne’s words in her final journal entry illustrates…

Some acquired fake documents to escape persecution. Those who were “righteous among nations” stowed Jews in their homes, factories, etc. Few were daring enough to try and escape the camps. They hid in forests, mountains, or swamps. But only few survived long enough…

To End a War drafts the causal factors that produced the Yugoslav crisis and covers in detail the successes and disappointments of the various parties involved in the dialogs to end the conflict. The second chapter, entitled "The Greatest Collective Failure...," is conceivably the most interesting section of the book because it is here that Holbrooke challenges to make sense of the origins of "the greatest collective security failure of the West since the 1930s." According to Holbrooke, there is…

heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?4 Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture…
