2 Views of Human Nature
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that compares and contrasts 2 views of human nature. Referring to writings in Stevenson's The Study of Human Nature, the writer argues that St. Paul, in his Letter to the Romans and his First Letter to the Corinthians, presents the Christian view of human nature. Likewise, Stevenson uses an essay "Man and Faith" by Ayatullah Murtaza Mutahhari as representing the Islamic view of human nature. Examination of these two viewpoints shows that they have much in common, as they both view humanity as a composite of an animal (sinful) and rational (spiritual) nature. No additional sources cited.

3 Reviews on Religious Books
[ send me this essay ]
An 18 page paper that consists of three separate 6 page book reviews. The first review refers to L. Russ Bush's The Advancement, which offers a Christian apologetic that defends the biblical account of creation against the position of Darwinian naturalism. The second book review addresses Norman Geisler and Ron Brooks' text When Skeptics Ask, which offers an apologetic that is useful to all Christians in defending their faith, as the objections that unbelievers raise regarding Christian dogma are frequently quite perceptive and cut to the heart of Christianity's basic principles. The final book review examines L. Russ Bush and Tom J. Nettles' Baptists and the Bible, which offers a comprehensive history of the Baptist church and its attitudes toward the doctrine of inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible. In each case, the writer summarizes every chapter in each book. No additional sources cited.

A Century of Religious Evolution among Native Americans
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page paper discussing how the issue of religion among Native Americans has come full circle in the past century. The federal government officially banned some tribes' most sacred religious rites - the potlatch of the Cree was subversive because it redistributed wealth among members - forbade the use of native languages and removed entire tribes from their ancestral lands. White missionaries were certain that the "savages" had to be civilized before they could be evangelized, and did not take the time to realize how similar native religion and Christianity were. Some groups are returning to the traditional ways; others are blending tradition with Christianity; still others persecute the Christians in their midst in retribution for the centuries of persecution at the hands of Christians.
