The Prophet’s Mosque

Historical records indicate that the structure was commissioned by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, who wanted the site to be home to an Orthodox patriarchal basilica.

The explorations of Christopher Columbus remain to be an integral part of history especially regarding the colonization of the Americas.

Columbus in his part did not find affection in his fame of exploration, but was more concerned about the spread of religion, in this case Catholicism, to the new ...

Currently, the Muslim faith has gained root to dominate over 1/6 of the world population (Olson, 2-6).
For the Christian faith to avoid eradication, it must come up with a strategic plan of retaining its followers. This ...

The Middle East has been a region that has been in a state of crisis for over a century now.

Dictatorships, religion, land disputes, possession of weapons of mass destruction, the subjugation of populace, and, arguably, oil have been some of the common war points.

The Response of the Victorian Churches to Charles Darwin’s Doubt

Pitch
Contrary to the perception of the Victorian Era as one of the highlight of English Christianity and even morality among societies, the situation was not so behind closed doors. The people were beginning to question the Biblical inspirations and teachings based on Christian doctrines that had otherwise defined their existence and faith for centuries. Accordingly, the sources of doubt were twofold: there was a rapid development of biblical criticism, and the scientific discoveries were challenging cultural norms. Perhaps there was no original sin.

A Dissertation Proposal

Overview
The interest of international law includes the improvement of the condition and welfare of orphans around the world. Moreover, religion also emphasized the importance of looking after the less fortunate children apart from the concerns expressed in the international treaties.

Introduction

The country of Bangladesh has historically served as a virtual bulls-eye for cyclonic activity in its corner of the Indian Ocean. Not only is the bay that leads onto shore extremely flat (and shallow), the shoreline is shaped like a horseshoe, which draws the storm activity inward. Also, the Bangladeshi lowlands along the ocean are also flat, and they do not drain well at all. This is good when you want to grow rice, but it is not so good when you want to avoid tragedy when a cyclone blows ashore and brings flooding with it. In the centuries before such ...

It may not be well pronounced like was seen in South Africa or even during the Jewish Holocaust but it is still existent in our various social structures. In America, racial connotations such as the words ‘nigga’ and ‘ ...
