Lawrence uses literary and biblical allusion, pretentious diction, and a critical tone in order to achieve his purpose to…

“Christianity doesn't make sense without sin.” says William Kilpatrick in his book Psychological Seduction. Sin is one of the major keys to being a Christian, or in the history of the faith itself. If there was never any sin, then there would not have been any reason for a savior to come and rescue the people of Yahweh. If there was never any sin, would there even be a need for Christianity? Even during the beginning there was sin. The very first creation sinned not long after their creation.…

In Book Two, The Pear Tree, Augustine speaks of his struggles with stealing. Temptation draws him to stealing fruit for many reasons.

This is a dialogue between a married couple that Milton sets to a framed role of Eve within the union. Eve is discussing with…

Man’s fall from grace into a world of sin is something that is often explored and analyzed for judgements and observations to be made; however, not every detail gains notice.

Despite Angel’s desire to be different from…
