I. INTRODUCTION The cultural dimension of Christian experience, which Niebuhr attempted to typify, is essentially more complex that he himself appeared to recognize. In fact, in order to deal with this complexity, Niebuhr categorized Christianity as inextricably of a Western culture to the clear disregard of the realities of Christians in the East, which the apostles too have built into a community of the faithful under Christ. Nevertheless, he dealt with the complexity by presuming that Christianity is essentially a Western cultural community while referring to the target culture as “not a particular phenomenon but the general one”. While ...

Augustine of Hippo and His View of Election As Regards Salvation

Biography Augustine of Hippo, or more popularly known as St. Augustine, was the child of St. Monica. However, despite a religious upbringing, Augustine spent most of his young life in blasphemous beliefs and immoral lifestyle. Although he was a remarkably intelligent person and had been indoctrinated to the Christian faith early in life, his sins of wickedness and his self-glorification corrupted his thoughts too much, that he became completely blind to the Divine Truth. Augustine's mother, Monica, was a devout Christian, while his father supported paganism for most of his life, merely converting to Christianity prior to his death. ...

The renowned Protestant spiritual resurgence movement known as the Second Great Awakening affected the American culture tremendously. However, this resurgence that spanned about five decades from 1790s to the 1840s is most notable for transforming the very character of the religious culture in the country (Appleby, Cheng, & Goodwin, 2002). Congregationalists, Anglicans, and Quakers were the major denominations at the Revolution’s beginning. However, the world witnessed the Baptists and Evangelists as the most dominant religious groups by the 1800 (Ruben & Casper, 2013). The Second Great Awakening was undoubtedly a triumphant movement that introduced novel organizational methods by evangelical churches. ...

Causes of the Revolution

The American Revolution occurred between 1765 and 1783 after the colonists within the thirteen American colonies declined the British aristocracy and monarchical rule. Beginning 1765, the American colonists refused to acknowledge the power of the British parliament to tax the American colonists while the latter did not have colonial representatives in the governments. The following years were marred by protests as American patriots sought to ventilate their disapproval of the authority of the British monarchy and aristocracy over the thirteen American colonies. Religion played an important role in ushering the revolution as the Christian revivalists in the Great Awakening ...

Response Paper

Response Paper The presence and existence of God is seen in our daily lives through the practices and the relevant undertaking that we pass through without knowledge of how successfully they pass. To be aware of God, however, implies that one is certain of the belief in His dominical that surrounds every human being, and in everything that is in the universe. McCloskey in his article, “On Being Atheist” attempts to provide proof that the existence of God is not true; with various claims why atheism is a much easier concept to understand compared to theism (McCloskey, 1968). However, ...

Question 1

The definition of religion is often different across different groups depending on the values and beliefs that they hold. Noticeably, most people define religion based on what history holds as true for them. Typically, the catholic Spain defines religion as a matter of doctrines, rituals, creeds and traditions. Seemingly, the catholic Spain seems to attest to the fact that religion is more of a way of life. However, this is not true according to the historical chronology of religious beliefs. Looking closely, history explains the evolution of religion through ages. Thus, religion is never a set of compact doctrines and traditions.

His final two years will also be significant, since Congressional elections in 2014 will probably see the Republicans take over the Senate, thus ...

Nancy F. Cott. The Bonds of Womenhood: "Woman's Sphere" in New England 1780 1835.

The purpose of the book, The Bonds of Womenhood: "Woman's Sphere" in New England 1780 1835, written by Nancy F. Cott was to demonstrate that women from a century ago were breaking out of their traditional sphere of working in the home and shaping new roles for themselves in the community. During the process they also learned how to strengthen “the bonds of womanhood” with other women (Cott, 204). Cott (160) calls this new feeling sisterhood.

Pluralism is the notion that reality is comprised of several components. It basically postulates that there is more than one alternative to any problem. Hence, there is no such thing that is perfect or absolute and everything is relative in terms of the other. Cultural pluralism stands for the validity of diverse cultures. As Slick (n.d.) points out, this idea contradicts the teachings of the Bible that there is one almighty God (Isaiah 43:10;44:6; 45:5) and that Christianity is the truly revealed religion. Charles Haynes (1994) had once said, “How will we live with our deepest differences?” ( ...

For instance, Burl Cain, the warden of Louisiana State Penitentiary has always advocated moral rehabilitation. Cain believes that moral people are not felonious nor criminals, and moral rehabilitation is the only genuine rehabilitation. According to Cain, moral rehabilitation refers to learning how to live productively, ...

Stereotypes that have been labelled against women have made them fight for their positions and recognition in almost all aspects of their lives. Despite the efforts of women to prove to the society that they have equal capabilities as men when exposed to similar treatment, some communities still sideline women considering them unfit for certain position. It has however, been a milestone in many areas where women have been able to take up important roles and positions in the society. The latest battle that women religion where some Christian denominations do not allow women to serve as clergies and ...

{(Author Details)} 2.1. The moral correction system adopted by Warden Burl Cain in Louisiana’s Angola prison can be used as a basis of the Evangelical Christian (Baptist) religion’s implementation in the prison programs. The program is statistically effective, as the inmates upon release show a much better conduct and feel of rehabilitation than other programs. Before it was implemented, the Angola prison was considered to have the most violent conduct in the south. As crime rates got higher and higher, slowly effective concepts like Cain’s became the need of the hour (Ridgeway, 2011) He took this concept ...

Both Christianity and Islam are two major world religious influences in Uganda, and Islam had already been in the region for ...

Many states of the world have legalized same sex marriages or in other words, gay marriages.

Catholicism is strictly against gay marriage, same sex relationships, and social acceptance of homosexuality; however, ...

American Evangelicalism

The fundamentalists introduced new beliefs and practices beyond the biblical teachings that provide more freedom of worship to the believers. Additionally, American Protestants applied contemporary factors into the practicability of the biblical doctrines. It is an idea ...

Biblical Inspiration

Biblical Inspiration refers to a doctrine in Christian Theology that makes a claim that the editors and the authors of the Christian bible were influenced or led by God in writing the scriptures such that these writings may be taken to be the word of God Himself. The bible contains a lot of passages and verses in which the writers claim that they were divinely inspired by God when writing their messages (Vanhoozer, 34).

Introduction:

The Evangelical movement has been seen as a partner with other American religions up to the 1970’s when things slowly began to change and the Evangelicals have been seen as alien to other American religions and culture. Hart’s book traces the development of the Evangelical movement between the early to mid-20th century whilst in the latter part, he also focuses intensely on the change which has dominated the religious movement in America. The book has been described as an excellent synthesis and interpretation of what was going on in the heartland of American evangelisation and other religious movements. ...

Evangelicalism among Americans has been associated with various bad vices over the years. For instance, televangelists have been attributed with the solicitation of money and scolding among evangelical Protestants. According to D.G. Hart, evangelicalism has gone through various phases in its development into the current world. He analyses evangelicalism into two periods between 1920 and 1960 and from 1960 to 2000. The two folds represent the ”withdrawal and a reemergence of evangelicalism among Americans” and their way of life. In the first fold, evangelicalism is postulated to be dominant in the American’s culture throughout the twentieth century up to ...

In the book, A Ruling Race, James Oakes outlines a view and perception of the slaveholding class entirely.

Slaveholding class could be divided into three phases, that of small, middle-class masters, and finally planters. The analysis is based on social, religious, as well ...

In the 2006 documentary Jesus Camp, directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady point their cameras at the Kids on Fire School of Ministry, a Missouri-based charismatic evangelical Christian camp for children. The purpose of the documentary is simply to show the goings-on of the children and the camp itself, attempting to be fair and objective in its leanings. There is little to no commentary on the actions of the church leaders or the kids themselves, simply showing the footage as is. That being said, this objective viewpoint demonstrates the ugliness and insularity that belies charismatic Christians and the Bible Belt’ ...

Over recent years, religion has become a very crucial part in the health field especially in nursing. The concept of evangelicalism has influenced the health care sector a great deal. According to Thobaben (2010), evangelicalism is a form of social movement that is governed by a certain set of rules. These rules have enabled it to be applied in different areas in healthcare especially in nursing. Leadership and nursing choices are governed by the morals that evangelicalism supports.

The idea of two people who belong to the same gender entering into a marriage union has caused many ripples not only in society but also amongst religious groups the world over.

Either of these groups many a time holds very strong conviction as to why they think their stand is right while ...

Factoring in the ambiguity of some religious teachings and the liberty of individuals to make independent decisions regarding personal satisfaction, religious beliefs can spark up a lot of controversy especially between people who are in romantic relationships. The book titled Blankets is a classic depiction of the tug of war that exists between religious teachings on one hand and strong emotional feelings and persuasions on the other. This book is a graphical autobiographical novel by Craig Thompson which illustrates his progression ...

Summary of the main ideas of each view.

The article highlights the important role that Christianity plays in daily activities. This is in shaping of political ideals and mentalities. The right to belong and associate to any religion has formed a heavy backdrop in the articulation of ideas in society (Dionne 206-208). This is one of the rights that shape the thinking of Evangelical Protestants in America. Their agitation can be traced way back to the 1940’s which paved the way for Jimmy Carter’s administration in the future. The article traces the steps that Evangelical Protestantism has achieved in its wake of political agitation. It is ...

No other event looms over modern Irish history like the Great Potato Famine, a human catastrophe of unimaginable proportions. Its impact is still felt today in a country where 1.5 million people died from starvation and disease and millions more were forced to emigrate to all corners of the globe in a desperate bid to survive. The cause of the disaster, the infestation that destroyed Ireland’s staple food crop, is well known. But debate over the availability of calorific alternatives and the culpability of the British government and landed aristocracy has produced disagreement ever since over what might have been done ...

(1) This discussion posting does a good job of explaining the coherence and significance of the Great Awakening. It is indeed agreeable that Whitefield, through his “well-timed admonition to the leading of the Holy Ghost” (Kidd 109) helped in initiating the Great Awakening”. It is certainly agreeable that if it was not for George Whitefield, the British Atlantic would have never experienced Calvinist evangelical theology during the 18th century that began in the 1730s. Moreover, it must also be noted that Kidd believes that the greatest thing about the Great Awakening is that “it produced the evangelical movement” in America ...

It is said that the political and socio-religious reform in America can be traced back to the Great Awakening. Most Americans have heard of the Great Awakening, and to some extent are aware of its profound impact on the course of the United States. The question is, Did a Great Awakening really occur in mid-eighteenth century America? Of course, the notion of the Great Awakening has been denied by many modern scholars, such as Jon Butler. In his article, Enthusiasm Described and Decried: The Great Awakening as Interpretive Fiction,” Butler writes that “[T]he label ‘the Great Awakening’ [] distorts the ...

In the conservative denominations within evangelical Christianity, a considerable deal of weight is placed on the notion that explicitly stated faith in a risen Savior is a requirement for admission to heaven. This is the bread and butter of evangelical sermons now – and it has been since the days of Charles Spurgeon and other preachers riding the circuit, bringing the message of salvation to churches across the globe. Those believers who attend worship in these denominations place a high value on their own inclusion in the Kingdom of Heaven – and in the exclusion of others who have not made the same sorts of ...

This study will include the Episcopal Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Readers will learn the mission, values, and beliefs of each denomination through exploration of their websites. Christians from one or two generations ago probably never imagined that their beliefs would be on the internet for everyone to see. The purpose for the Episcopal Church website is to educate the public about what the Episcopal Church does and believes. It appears that the website is geared toward those who are not familiar with the Episcopal Church. Areas covered include the basic tenants of the faith, ...

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”1 The words of Jesus in the Gospel of John seem simple enough, but provide a foundation for the Lutheran faith and have been the subject of controversy for hundreds of years. When Martin Luther presented his protest against a “wanton preaching of pardons” and other perceived wrongs practiced by the Catholic Church in his Ninety-Five Thesis in October of 1517, he may have single-handedly begun the Reformation leading to a schism and the large number of Protestant religions ...
