“World’s Columbian Exposition.” Yet, Turner’s essay remains the classic expression of the “frontier thesis.” Turner was mostly ignored at the time but eventually Turner's lectures gained such wide distribution and influence that a contemporary scholar has called it "the single most influential piece of writing in the history of American history." When Turner presented his new theory the “Turner Thesis” regarding America’s past and the lament towards the closing of the frontier, he claimed that…
Ever since I got the opportunity to choose my theology project topic, “ Faith and Reason: Why Science and Catholicism are made for each other? Today many claim that the Church is anti-science, or that science is the “new religion” and Catholicism is no longer relevant.
