comparisons with Jenson will be brief, but they are instructive not simply because of the compelling historical coincidences of these two thinkers in American theological history from the 1960s to the present, but because they represent two signal inheritors of the Protestant theology of crisis. Accordingly, Cone and Jenson will be compared in terms of how they relate eschatology to history. The argument is in short that Cone and Jenson both inherit a set of problematics concerning the relation…

Critically acclaimed novelist William Gerald Golding was born September 19, 1911 in Saint Columb, Cornwall, England (“Golding” 800-801). His father, Alec Golding, carried the family tradition of being a schoolmaster. Golding’s mother, Mildred, was an active suffragette.

Another aspect widely stated in Beecher’s and Douglass’ writings is the physical separation and the emotional detachment of family members. Slaves have no right to care and keep their children close neither emotionally or physically speaking. After birth, slave babies are sent to older slave women to be cared for. “My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant—before I knew her as my mother” (Douglass 946). Or, they can also be sold like cattle without the mother’s consent, opinion,…

Wouldn’t it be wonderful, dear, if we could form a little front-line unit, scientifically and-- yes, let me say it-- spiritually intact, a kind of pioneer force to try to break down prejudice, knock out the old fetishes, maybe start a complete revolution in our whole medical system” (Cronin 323). The aforementioned quote, as stated by Doctor Andrew Manson, protagonist of a novel entitled The…

The roles of males and females have been contested throughout history and has been prominent subject of experimentation in the arts.

On the last day of our pilgrimage we had the opportunity to visit Wadowice. The square was very beautiful, with all of its 19th century burgher-style buildings intact. The church in Wadowice which he attended and had served was decorated with rosaries. The locals were very friendly and eager to share the history of the town along with little stories and anecdotes about John Paul II that had been passed down through their families. Wadowice struck me as a very calm and tight-knit town, where…

The most interesting thing about religions is how the people who subscribe to a certain sect think that their belief are unique and are the best in comparison to others (Van Voorst 15). Many people affiliating to a particular religion believe that their religion is the only true one and either do not clearly mention the fate of the people subscribing to other religions or they just assume that they are headed in the wrong direction (Knott 60).

Franklin D. Roosevelt was once quoted saying, “Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds”. Within this world of endless possibilities, nothing is certain but the unforeseen.

In Arthur Golden’s novel Memoirs of a Geisha, Sayuri Nitta recalls her experiences throughout her journey of becoming a geisha. Sayuri…
