Saint Basil the Great was bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia when he fought against the Arians despite grievous threats from the Arian king Valens. He has reformed so thoroughly the clergy in his diocese that other bishops sought his help in assisting them in their dioceses. His greatest achievement though was the establishment of a vast hospital and work house outside the city of Caesarea, which came to be known as the “New Town,” and later renamed Basileiad after his death (Laux, 1930). In the sermon, “Prayer must come first” (Everitt et al., 1985) he explored prayer and service through ...

Introduction

All through my life, I was born and lived in a Muslim family and neighborhood. I had never thought of associating with people from other religions, especially the Christians, who I had heard many misconceptions about them. I attended a Muslim-sponsored school, where all my peers shared the same religion. Our teachers were also from the Islamic religion, with an exception of one female teacher, whom I realized had a difficult time with her colleagues.
After my parents moved to the United States, the new neighborhood was full of people of different religions: Mormons, Christians, Protestants, Hindus, Buddhists, and even fellow ...

Introduction

The trinity has always been a matter of debate among spiritual circles, eliciting violence in some instances in the past. The main issue of controversy fueling this debate is the divinity of Jesus Christ. Arianism was one of the notable heretical teachings of the past that threatened the Christian church. This belief challenged the core tenet of the orthodoxy regarding the divinity of Jesus Christ. This view held that Jesus was a creation of God and as such did not possess the divine substance of the Father. The Arian view was majorly advanced by Arius, a Libyan, born around 256 A.D. He ...

The issue of prolonged life has been debated for centuries. In fact, Ponce de Leon spent his life’s work looking for the Fountain of Youth all over the globe. The century long limit of human life has essentially created the fantasy of those who wanted to live longer. This curiosity of these individuals has led to the fantasy of seeing history when it transpired rather than reading it in a book. For this reason, many television shows and books have explored the possibility of a human living beyond their one-hundred-year timeframe. For example, vampires, warlocks, and the like ...

The beginning of the Protestant Reformation is usually associated with Martin Luther publishing his “95 Theses” in 1517 (Reformation).

His bold move challenged some of the practices of the Catholic Church at that time as well as some of the specific church practices, or Doctrines.

Luther argued that the Bible was the true way to understand the word of God. The Pope ...

Several reasons are behind this early martyrdom that rocked the early Christian fellowship.

Introduction

The central element and aspect of the Christian Faith is the divinity of Jesus Christ, the founder of the religion.

This shows that Jesus Christ is the foundation on which the entire Christian faith is built. As such, every Christian must give reverence to Him and to His position as the pivot around which every other thing in the spiritual world revolves.
The idea of Jesus being God ...

The Complexity of the Cross

The rhetoric religion involves studying linguistic and symbolic techniques involved in the dissemination, supporting, teaching, or establishing of theological beliefs or structures. A large number of present-day scholars have identified the link between rhetoric and religion as ancient, and that it is impossible to separate the two. Religion is greatly obligated to rhetoric because religion would be difficult to comprehend, progress, support, or spread without the adoption of rhetorical complexity. In fact, many institutions teaching religion today require units that develop rhetorical abilities among students as a part of all-round religious education. However, religious rhetoric is more than the ...

Scandals break a politician’s reputation, mostly because the public looks up to them and becomes doubtful of the politician’s credibility, once they’re publicly humiliated and exposed. Hence, these individuals need to conduct themselves in a way that suits them best.
It is also certain that scandals often affect a politician’s reputation more than anything and usually damage hard earned reputation for good. This happens mostly because a nation, which constitutes of the common man, tends to look up at these public figures.

Grief is a fact of life that is inevitable. Through loss, pain and suffering in any way, one goes through grief, with each individual with their own way of handling grief. How one chooses to handle grief is entirely up to the individual and their personality, their environment and the social support structures they have to aid them through this process. In an attempt to explain and understand grief and the process of grief, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross hypothesized the “grief cycle”, otherwise known as the five stages of grief. In this paper, I will seek to critically look into the ...

Thus, it would be interesting to track how specific religion treats certain important issue of human rights and their implications. One of examples of such analysis is the article “Abortion and Buddhism” by Robert Florida. The aims of the present paper is to analyze the article in ...

History of the Jews in America is much less dramatic than history of the Jews that lived in Europe. In the USA, the Jews were not discriminated as it happened in Russia, Germany, France and other major countries. In addition, American Jews benefited from the “black-white” racial discourse that was popular in the USA for several centuries. As a result, they had more chances to be accepted in the American society than black people or other outsiders. Nevertheless, there were several short periods in American history when American Jews had to think of the ways how to protect their ...

The film takes the viewers to a journey of change in the characters from nonchalant boys who ...

Art can be, and is, often seen and understood in many contexts. In museums, visual arts are generally pleasing, and looked forward to with great anticipation.

Graffiti is another kind of visual/performance art, most of it connected with gangs, but not always, when considering the work of Banksy and other artists who try to do something positive with their talent.

Countless debates have ensued concerning the supposed importance of how life began, why it was created, and of course if it has any fundamental purpose. Some would argue that life has no meaning, that it is a randomized hodgepodge of experiences that when placed together create the sum of a life. Others would claim that there is meaning behind every experience, a driving goal that allows an individual to keep going when it would be easier to stop. Whether it is because of personal belief or fundamental truths that can be measured and verified the meaning of life remains ...

Abstract

Recent news of police engaging lethal force to contain seemingly non-dangerous situations has dominated headlines in the news. News such as the shootings of Kajieme Powell, Michael Brown and countless others and the seeming impunity that the system grants the accused proffer that the system will use any avenue to impose the upper classes’ will on the lower class in the guise of crime control. However, rather than project a racist slant, the research also looks on the possibility that the police officers, in the line of duty, must be given enough latitude in determining the situations that ...

Therefore, existentialism is based on one’s choices, decisions that are unique and unchangeable.

Before the declaration of Christianity as the official religion in England in 312 A.D., there were prior contacts between Christianity and Insular Celtic paganism. The Georgian Mission of Christianity in 596 A.D., which declared the conversion of all pagans to Christianity as well as the Christianity take-over of Ireland by 600 A.D., accelerated the rise of Christianity and the fall of paganism (Lunn-Rockliffe, p. 12). By 1100 A.D., Christianity had gained sufficient control over the Celtic region, thereby replacing the former religion, paganism (p. 17).
