Integrating Flannery O'Connor's "Revelation" With The Theological Concept Of Grace
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Grace, depending upon which faith one practices, is considered an inherent gift bestowed by Jesus upon man's mortality or an earned benefit that is only increased through receiving the Sacraments. While there is not single right or wrong definition, there are enough to warrant grace as being quite misunderstood. Of the myriad ways in which to describe grace, Foley (1977) notes that the most important understanding of grace is how it is 'in' people – an already-existing part of a person's character – rather than an entity one strives to acquire. In some cases, such as saying grace at mealtime to thank God for the bounty of food sitting upon one's plate, grace is an extension of tangible commodities that are inextricably interwoven into human existence.

Interfaith Marriage in the Islamic Religion
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing interfaith marriage in the Islamic religion. Interfaith marriage is not recommended in Muslims as Muslims are encouraged to find spouses with a similar religious outlook for the sake of future compatibility and for the raising of children. However the guidelines for marriage in the Qur’an do allow for some instances of intermarriage between Muslim men and non-Muslim women but not between Muslim women and non-Muslim men. For those couples who have interfaith marriages in the Islamic religion, mostly in the Western countries where there are fewer Islamic communities, they have reported success only when they allow themselves equal respect for each other’s religion, educate themselves about the practices of each other’s religion, maintain open communication regarding the practicing of religion, the raising of children and the recognition of holidays. Despite the liberal views of many interfaith couples, difficulties still arise in the raising and faith of the children. Muslim men who have children who have not be raised Muslim may have difficulty bringing them into Islamic states and retaining custody after a divorce. In the world today however and despite the strict guidelines of the Qur’an, interfaith marriages are occurring with the couples themselves largely deciding how to handle their choices for success in their marriage. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

International Human Rights Law Vs Sharia Law: Western Ideology And Islamic Cultural Interpretation Of Gender
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The obvious conflict that exists between International Human Rights law and Sharia law as they both relate to women indicates a cultural basis upon which gender is approached. Clearly, any attempt to apply the International Human Rights law, which is based upon Western ideology, to countries that practice Sharia law, which is based upon the teachings of Islam, is a most difficult application to make. Women and culture have long represented various relationships in different cultures; as much as the International Human Rights law has attempted to bridge the obvious gap that exists between gender and humane treatment, it has failed to achieve its objective throughout myriad patriarchal nations. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
