Abstract
This paper explores ways that Milan Kundera uses plot, setting, figurative language, irony, symbols and other devices, to direct the protagonist Edward in "Edward and God" toward a surprising, ironical, smile toward God in church.
From the Paper
"That charge had been based on the older brother's sleeping through Stalin's death and laughing about it in public the following day (the comical sight of the elaborately-grieving Miss Chechahkova, a fellow student and loyal Stalinist, is what had really made him laugh so long and hard). But Miss Chechahkova, being the good servant of the State she is and therefore none too amused, reported him to the department. For that, he was jettisoned from the school and forced to find an altogether new future profession. Now Miss Chechahkova, all grown up, middle-aged, lonely, and ugly, is the directress of the department that once expelled his brother, however, and could give Edward a job."

Abstract
The following paper discusses views of 'God' with reference to Anne Bradstreet?s 'Upon the Burning of our House', and Jonathon Edward?s 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God'. This paper compares their views and tries to interpret what each author means by a particular sentence.
From the Paper
"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God conveys an extraordinarily unique viewpoint of God. According to Edwards, we are all sinners by nature; it is our most forth standing trait, despite our ongoing efforts to counter it. Throughout his sermon, he goes on endlessly about how God is so merciful to us, and without his mercy we would be thrown to the deepest depths of hell by the very earth itself. What was so deplorable to the people when they first heard it, was that Edwards alleged that all this time that they had thought they had been good Christians, they were in fact sinning against God; all the while they thought they were going to Heaven, they were actually destined for Hell, and there was naught they could do to stop it. (?You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it, and ready every moment to singe it, and burn it asunder; and you have no interest in any Mediator, nothing to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing that you have done, nothing you can do, to induce God to spare you one moment.? Edwards, 121.) So, essentially, they were screwed, and it was too late to do anything, you are all going to hell in a hand basket, have a nice Sunday. Edwards wanted to make religion almost a physical experience, and with reports of people fainting and weeping openly without abandon, I would have to say it seems as if he accomplished his task. I only wonder if perhaps a few of his followers turned to Agnosticism or Atheism after such an oration?"

"God and Reason", 2006.
A study and critique on Edward Miller's "God and Reason".

Abstract
This paper is a critical analysis of the book "God and Reason" by Edward Miller. It focuses on two chapters from his book "The Teleological Argument" in Chapter 4 and "Faith and Reason" in Chapter 7. These chapters are used to present, argue and explain the existence of God and the creation of the וniverse. A brief introduction and background to the study helps create a better understanding. In conclusion, it offers an analysis of theory of the teleological argument.
From the Paper
"Faith and opinion may or may not be true. Reason and fact, if used properly, lead to truths. However, faith and reason do not interact well, as one is forced to play by the rules of the other and inevitably loses the game. The scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are inert in relation to any subject with which they deal, and are to be accepted in their natural and intended sense...all things in the universe were created and made by God in six days of special creation described in Genesis. The creationist account is accepted as factual, historical and perspicuous and is this fundamental in the understanding of every fact and phenomenon in the created universe."

Edward Taylor and Jonathan Edwards: A Theological Comparison, 2001.
This paper is a comparison of two pastors in Colonial America, Edward Taylor and Jonathan Edwards.

Abstract
This paper looks at two Colonial American pastors, Edward Taylor and Jonathan Edwards. The role these men played in the lives of the people is examined in detail since during these times, all theological knowledge was derived from their local pastor. A pastor was their only connection to God and one's learning how to get to heaven, therefore his correct interpretation of the Bible was crucial to their spirituality. Through their sermons, each of these men hoped to lead their congregations to salvation, but they had different methods of achieving this goal. Taylor used love, joy, praise and worship while Edwards used fear, revenge, hatred, dark imagery, and scorn.
From the Paper
"Taylor?s ?Joy?? is a poem about the souls of ?saints? (people who were devout members of the church while living) traveling in the ?coach? of Jesus? arms toward heaven (3,5). Taylor uses this imagined scenario to demonstrate to his congregation the right way to live while on earth, and how one gets to heaven. The saints sing for joy as they travel, ?Enfir?de with holy Flame!(7). If something ?slips? (i.e. their faith or righteousness) they fix it in haste, and are made more superior in the eyes of God than before (13). Taylor is trying to convey to congregants that God notices the rectification of a sin. Taylor says that in all areas of life ?publick, and private, any And secret too,? that one is to praise God and act in accordance with His will (19,20). Taylor proclaims that on the way to heaven, the ?saints? see other souls who aren?t in Christ?s protective arms (25-28). He emphasizes that they can get to heaven as well if they mend their ways."

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", 2006.
How the concept of guilt operates in the sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards.

Abstract
This paper breaks down the elements of Edwards' sermon in order to identify the emotional appeal to the audience. This essay focuses specifically on the guilt that Edwards was thrusting upon his audience. There are several supporting quotes from the text properly cited in MLA format.
From the Paper
"I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire / I Went Down, Down, Down / And The Flames Went Higher" - Johnny Cash (Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire Lyrics) ohnny Cash was singing about love and not hell in the song Ring of Fire. However, the visual imagery of falling into a ring of fire, while the flames rise in anticipation, is quite powerful. People that have truly experienced love, tragic love especially, can relate to exactly what he is expressing. Although not an entertainer in the mold of the "man in black", Jonathan Edwards was also adept at painting a mental picture with words. Edwards gives a visual outline about the concept he is discussing. As a result, the audience members each construct a different mental image based on their individual frame of reference. The representation of hell in the mind of an audience member was proportionately intensified by the guilt they felt about their sins. Jonathan Edwards utilizes the concept of guilt as a means of complementing the visual imagery in his sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."

?Summer For All the Gods?, 2002.
A review of Edward J. Larson's book ?Summer For All the Gods?

Abstract
This paper examines Edward J. Larson's ?Summer For All the Gods? , a non-fiction account of the famous Scopes ?monkey trial.? The Scopes trial refers to a turn of the century courtroom battle in American history, when a supposed high school teacher named John Scopes was put on trial for violating a Tennessee state law that prohibited the teaching of Darwinian evolutionary theory in the public schools. It evaluates how Larson?s account presents an historical, unsentimental version of the Scopes trial which is in direct conversation and contrast with how the trial has entered into popular mythology, as a battle between rationality and irrationality, between justice and injustice.
From the Paper
"Three central themes drive the Summer for All Gods. First, there is the idea that science is never pure and factual, it is always filtered through politics in the real, lived life of American historical drama. Secondly, Larson must deal with the fact that quite often a historical event, even of recent date can become quickly tainted in the collective American mythological memory as a battle for free speech and justice fought and won, rather than something that continues to be waged in America?s present. As a last and third important corollary to the truth versus fiction theme, Larson notes that no courtroom drama ever has one side that is on the side of ?truth? purely and simply. It is true that Tennessee?s legislature did attempt to prohibit the teaching of evolution in schools. However, this is a practice of ideological management that still takes place today, when states attempt to influence textbook manufactures as to the content of what is included and not included in texts."

Abstract
This paper will compare the poetry of Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor as they implicitly set forth their perceptions of God and his kingdom and their stance toward divinities in two or three works. By understanding this way of divine poetry, we can see how they use God as a position for inquiry into the matters of theology and the beliefs they have in a higher power.

Chet Edwards, 2006.
A discussion of the history and political career of Congressman Chet Edwards.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Congressman Chet Edwards who has served in the House of Representatives and currently represents the 17th Congressional District in Texas. The writer examines Edwards' voting records and considers Edwards a middle-of-the-road, conservative democrat. The paper demonstrates that Edwards' voting record reflects the demographics of the region which is ethnically diverse, rooted in traditional industries like transportation and agriculture, and also boasts a substantial number of young college-age voters who tend toward liberalism. The paper concludes that Congressman Chet Edwards' narrow win in the last election, could explain his shift in recent voting behavior on liberal issues.
From the Paper
"Edwards' pro-labor voting record also coincides with Democratic Party values. Congressman Edwards has slipped slightly in his accordance with the liberal values espoused by Americans for Democratic Action but generally can be considered an emblematic democrat. However, Edwards' record on environmental issues shows that he veers far from left-leaning democrats regarding the conflict between certain sectors of business (energy and construction for example) and environmental protection."

Edward II, 2005.
This paper explores in detail the history of Edward II, King of England from 1307 to 1327, who is considered one of the least competent of all British monarchs.

Abstract
The paper explains that the reign of Edward I was characterized by military conquest, legislative progress and positive political achievement; however, this apparently secure political structure collapsed under Edward II and his reign ended with a revolution in which he was deposed. The author points out that a large part of Edward II's failure can be attributed to his inability to maintain the impetus of the war with Scotland that his father had begun. The paper relates that Edward II, as a king, failed to gain the respect of his people and his inability to lead them and inspire them meant that when he sent his emissaries to raise troops for him, they simply refused to obey.
From the Paper
"Trouble began to erupt in 1308, at the time of Edward's marriage to Isabella of France. An important group of magnates signed an agreement that, while stressing their loyalty to the crown, stated the need to reform "things which have been done before this time contrary to his honour and the rights of his crown, and the oppressions which have been done and are still being done to his people." Historians believe that the wordage in this demand was deliberately vague and interpret it as referring to the question of Gaveston as well as administrative abuses. The king's coronation took place with a new clause in his oath that bound him to observe the laws and customs chosen by the "community of the realm." The clause was eventually used by the Earl of Lincoln in a demand to exile Gaveston."

Jonathan Edwards, 2002.
A study on the life of eighteenth century New England leader Jonathan Edwards.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper traces the life of Jonathan Edwards, zealous New England religious leader whose fiery sermons and brilliant oratory resulted in people flocking to churches across the country in a bid to redeem their sins. The paper shows how Edwards' conversion sermons grew into a conflagration in the entire East Coast in 1743 and soon came to be known as the "Great Awakening". Edwards' fiery description of hell and its damnations ? especially in his horrifying sermon, entitled ?Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God? -- drew people to such ferventness and trembling that those who could not take it even committed suicide.
From the Paper
"Edwards viewed the overwhelming change of hearts in the people as evidence of God?s Hand, redeeming New England and expounded this in his works, ?The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God? (1741) and ?Some Thoughts Concerning the Present Revival? (1743), wherein he defended that view of the revival as an authentic sign of God?s working with them and in their midst. He was deeply passionate over the revival and its authenticity and brought to the people the constant awareness of the need to enter through the narrow gate to God?s Kingdom. He urged for constancy and mercilessness in searching oneself, and reminded them endlessly about their congregation with God. He was a severe and severely demanding pastor who left nothing to chance by leaving everything to God, so that in 1742, he drew up a formal covenant through the blood of Jesus Christ and had his followers sign it to bind them visibly as true and sincere believers (Hollinger)."

Sir David Edward, 2006.

Abstract
The paper relates how Sir David Edward and the making of substantive European law have become fairly conjoined in the minds of most legal observers over the course of the past decade-and-a-half. With this in mind, the paper briefly discusses Judge Edward's steady rise to the top of his profession, as well as the maturation of the peculiar institution - the European Court of Justice - with which he is most associated. Just as importantly, the paper examines the evolution of the European Union, for without this Union's emergence and growth, the story of David Edward would be dramatically different.

Abstract
The reign of King Edward I (1272-1307) was marked by almost constant military activity in the British Isles and France. Edward?s policy of expansion and conquest in Scotland and Wales was aggressive and successful. This paper examines one of the more notable characteristics of Edward?s warlike policies, the construction of a large number of castles, mostly in Wales, as centers of military and civilian administration in conquered territories. The paper focuses on six of these castles, namely Flint, Rhuddlan, Conwy, Caernarfon, Harlech, and Beaumaris.
From the Paper
"Whereas at other sites such as Harlech and Caernarfon the site had offered defensive advantages, at Beaumaris the castle was constructed on a flat, largely featureless marsh, so it had to create all its defensive advantages itself. The result is a highly developed plan using concentric curtain walls, round and D-shaped towers, and two vast gatehouses. It followed the established pattern of having its own dock and access to the sea, and a town was to have been constructed within its own, integrated, defenses. The town was never founded and the castle never completed, the demands of wars, not only in Wales but also in Scotland and France, rendering the expense untenable."

The Work of Edward Taylor, 2005.
A review of the work of Edward Taylor in relation to the politics of the Puritan era.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers the nature of the poetry of Edward Taylor as related to changes in Puritan doctrine over a century or so, beginning with changes in what has been called "the master idea" of the New England Puritans and the doctrine of the national covenant. According to this paper, the national covenant was entered into with God, a covenant that became a half-covenant, while Edwards still celebrated the deeper meaning of the covenant in his poetry.
From the Paper
"The Puritan era was not one long period of sameness, and many of the beliefs and attitudes of the Puritans changed over time. Some of these changes are reflected in the literature of the era, as in the works of Edward Taylor. Although Taylor supported the half-way covenant, his poems suggest an anxiety regarding election and God's grace more in keeping with earlier Puritanism. The Puritans followed what was called "the master idea" of the New England Puritans, the doctrine of the national covenant, a covenant entered into with God. Because of this covenant, the Puritans invested the colony with a legitimacy that transcended the royal prerogative: As the current repository of God's truth, the destiny of the settlement was linked to a far grander imperative. The measure of New England was the success with which the community fulfilled its covenantal obligation to God (Weisman 121)."

Abstract
Titchner versus Wertheimer
Edward Titchner
Max Wertheimer
Gestalt Psychology
Comparing Structural and Gestalt
From the Paper
"Walter (1997) distinguishes between Wertheimer's Gestalt and Titchner's approach based on the conscious mind. Researchers (Rausch, 1949 and Hoeth, 1979 as cited by Walter, 1997) believe that if Titchner defines the conscious mind as knowledge based on interactions the individual can recall and then verbalize in what might be called self-determination, then Titchner is ignoring the unconscious in his rational based view. Wertheimer, on the other hand, doesn't believe the unconscious has any more to do with self-determination than does the conscious mind, "the inaccessible no less than the accessible, the ground no less than the distinguishable figure, the functionally bound...no less than that which is seen, the visual constant...no less than the visual variable" (Rausch, 1949 and Hoeth, 1979 as cited by Walter, 1997)."
