Evil: The Jewish View
[ send me this essay ]
2 pages in length. The Jews view evil as a necessary element of one's existence; however, they are forever attempting to figure out why they, as a collective people, have been forced to endure such a significant amount of it in a historical content. Indeed, Smith and Novak are especially eloquent in their ability to illustrate the complexities related to the Jewish perception of evil, implicating the nature of existence as one of the strongest explanations. The writer discusses how the Jews incorporate the presence of evil and all its forces into many of their religious rituals and observances, eternally hoping to rid themselves of not only their enemies but also any offenses they may have committed along the way.

The Ethical Significance Of Human Dignity In Veritatis Splendor, Judaism And Confucius As Compared With The United Nations Declaration On Human Rights
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. As 1998 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations, there is significant question as to whether or not the written manifesto addresses the issue of human dignity as well as it was meant to do. Comparing the ethical significance of such with Veritatis Splendor, Judaism and Confucius, one can easily conclude that there are considerable alterations in the overall application of its importance. The writer discusses how the Declaration, while offering great promise at its conception and even delivering some of what was pledged, has failed quite miserably in recognizing the ethical significance of human dignity throughout the world when compared with Judaism, Confucius and Veritatis Splendor.

Islam In Africa
[ send me this essay ]
In any study of religious history it is difficult to find an unbiased and strictly historical perspective. This is true for study of Islam's role in the history of Africa.

The history of Arab expansion has been recorded similarly with the lone exception of religious explanations for expansionist policies. This 10 page paper examines the history of the spread of Islam in Africa. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Comparisons of Plato and C.S. Lewis' Screwtape
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper comparing the two works. C. S. Lewis is known for his Christian writing, both overt and more veiled forms. The Screwtape Letters most assuredly are the finest example of Lewis' overt Christian work in that Screwtape, demon supreme, writes letters of instruction to his nephew Wormwood, who is on assignment to gain a particular soul for satan's collection. Plato of course is pre-Christian, but he does give credence to the ancient Greek gods. While he grants gods at least part of their due, he is certain that responsibility for goodness and moral behavior is attributable to the worth of the individual, is determined by the individual without outside influence.
