Abstract
This paper addresses the topic of the existence or non-existence of God and looks at theological arguments that support the concept that there is a God. The paper also looks at the doctrine of the Inerrancy of Scripture and discusses how Christian believers use this doctrine as evidence of a God, the Messianic Prophecy and the existence of the Holy Trinity, or the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
From the Paper
"Jonathan Waller, in his online essay ?God versus God,? raises very pertinent issues about the existence of God?the ever-widening divide between theists and atheists. In light of recent events, Waller maintains that these issues are very important. Mohammad Atta, in the name of God, flew a plane into a building. One of the first recognizable casualties in New York of the September 11, 2001, was Fr. Michael Judge, the chaplain of the New York Fire department. A few days before his death, Fr. Judge proclaimed the firefighters? job ?a blessing from God.? Atta and Judge?two men on the same side of an argument?both were staunch believers in the power and existence of God (Wallace, 2001)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides an examination of the factors within theological studies that make it difficult to speak of the "authority" of scripture today. The writer discusses clashes between the Bible and other sources of scripture, that is mainly due to varying opinions in the different religions.
From the Paper
"There are a number of factors from within theological studies that make it difficult if not impossible to speak of the authority of Scripture today. The Bible and other sources of Scripture often clash with respect to authority depending on different views of Catholics, Protestants and Jewish theologians. As Bruce maintains 'The question to be examined is how did certain documents and these only come to receive this recognition? Who if anyone decided that these and no others should be admitted to the list of holy Scriptures?'"

Aquinas and the Holy Scriptures on Free Will, 2004.

Abstract
The paper presents a thorough summary, explanation, and analysis of Aquinas's arguments and how they compare with the Scriptures. The paper looks at the ways in which Aquinas drew on Aristotle to support his ideas and how these ideas can, at times, be in conflict with the Scriptures and yet be supported by the Scriptures. Finally, this paper looks at how the Scriptures alone can be used to justify the concept of free will.
From the Paper
"St. Thomas of Aquinas is recognized by the Orthodox as one of the foundational theologians, particularly in that he provided an important step in towards the Renaissance by helping to reacquaint Christianity with Aristotle, who he refers to throughout his as ?the Philosopher.? As one who draws inspiration from Aristotle, he is particularly interested in rational philosophy as applied to the realm of religion and theology. This makes his defense of free will particularly strong, though at points one feels he lacks the necessary sense of ambiguity to completely address the Biblical texts. What is important to glean from his work, however, is a message that is also prominent in the Scriptures: that man is "made to God's image, in so far as the image implies an intelligent being endowed with free-will and self-movement..." (Summa Theologica, II:1:1) "

The Inerrancy of the Scriptures, 2004.
An examination of the doctrine of Inerrancy of Scriptures.

Abstract
The Holy Bible has been the source of an enormous amount of controversy and debate over the years as different hagiographers have dissected the Scripture to identify inconsistencies, contradictions, and errors. However, for true believers, the Inerrancy of the Scriptures means that any such ?mistakes? found in the Holy Bible are the result of misinterpretations or a failure to fully grasp the intent behind the original works. Because these issues continue to represent a divisive element within the Judeo-Christian community, it is important to understand where the Scriptures came from and how they came to us in the form we know today. To this end, this paper provides an analysis of where the Scriptures came from and whether the authors of the Scriptures understood the ultimate fate of their writings. An investigation of whether there are mistakes in the Scriptures is followed by an analysis of the impact of the doctrine of Inerrancy of Christianity. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"While it is impossible to fully understand the thought processes that the authors of the Scripture underwent in their communications with the mind of God, it is reasonable to assume that such men would recognize the significance of the event and what it represented for future generations. Further, it is also reasonable to assume that any individual who has been touched by the hand of God in this way would understand that what would happen to their writings were subject to the will of God as well. This concept is reiterated by Orchard who writes, ?Though the writers of the Old Testament historical books may not have perceived the full significance of the events they were inspired to record, they were well aware that history was under God's control? (45)."

Abstract
The paper is an extensive essay on Christian mission and is addressed in two sections. Firstly the Biblical commentary and the church's interpretation explaining that Christian mission is conversion. The second section attends to scriptural outlooks on conversion. The paper continues and explains how the terms "mission" and "conversion" are interpreted by various commentators and finally looks at how this is all applicable to the Indian community.
Outline:
Introduction
Understanding of mission
Scriptural perspective on conversion
Mission and conversion
Its implications for the church today
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In this chapter I would like to give some idea and concept of mission as understood by Christians. The Christian mission is rooted in the Holy Scriptures. They and only they alone are able to make man 'wise and able to instruct you for salvation" (2 Tim 3:15). From them Christians derive their message, their mandate, their motivation, and their methodology. Apart from the word of God the missionary movement has neither meaning nor sanction. According to the 'new theology' man is not eternally lost, because God is a loving Father. His all conquering love and his irresistible grace will finally win the last day, and till men will be saved. Indeed, they are already saved by the virtue of Jesus' death on the cross. The task of Today's missionary, then is simply to inform the non-Christians that, without their knowledge or consent, all men are 'in Christ', and as such are part of the new humanity of which he is the head."

Abstract
Although different human cultures have established and practiced different relationships with their conception of the divine, the existence of scriptures appears to be a common element in all religions. This being said it must be noted that just as religions and religious practices differ widely across cultures, so too does the form, number, function, and nature of scriptures. This essay compares and contrasts the role of scripture in Hinduism and Buddhism.

Abstract
Although fundamentalists in religious life assert that the answers to all human problems are available in inerrant scriptural form, there is still the problem of interpretation. From the beginning, differing stories, differing translations, and differing interpretations of scripture have led to the development of separate communities and sects within communities.

"Research on Qumran, Early Christians, and Early Rabbinic Judaism
Introduction
Although fundamentalists in religious life assert that the answers to all human problems are available in inerrant scriptural form, there is still the problem of interpretation. From the beginning, differing stories, differing translations, and differing interpretations of scripture have led to the development of separate communities and sects within communities. The intent in this essay is to look at three separate groups the Qumran community, the Early Christians and Early Rabbinic Judaism exploring their major beliefs and their use of canonical scripture."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Catholic theology. According to the paper, tradition and scripture are considered one and the same within the Catholic Church, and are both part of the sacred deposit of faith.
From the Paper
"Within the Catholic Church today, there are groups such as Catholics United for the Faith, Regnum Christi, Opus Del, that encourage orthodoxy in their interpretation of the teachings of the Vatican (Smietana). Some churches have moved the tabernacle from the center of the church to emphasize the Mass and the presence of Christ in the reception of the Holy Communion, however many claim that this experiment has failed because the Church lost the sense of the sacred that had been the hallmark of Catholic worship (Smietana). According to Father Richard Simon, that loss of the sacred is also seen in the decline among Catholics in the belief in the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Fr. Simon wrote, "If we don't believe in the Real Presence, we might as well close the church" (Smietana)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes "The Scripture of Maps, the Names of Trees" by Stephen Trimble, in which he presents a discussion of how human children develop a sense of the geographical spaces in which they live. As this critical analysis will argue, while the autobiographical experiences that Trimble employs to illustrate his examination of how human children develop a geographic sense are very interesting, the emphasis on these experiences overwhelms the discussion of children's psychological development with respect to geography and, thereby, risks obscuring the narrative thrust of the article as a whole.
From the Paper
"Critical Analyses: Four Social Geography Articles In "The Scripture of Maps, the Names of Trees" Stephen Trimble presents a discussion of how human children develop a sense of the geographical spaces in which they live. As this critical analysis will argue, while the autobiographical experiences that Trimble employs to illustrate his examination of how human children develop a geographic sense are very interesting, the emphasis on these experiences overwhelms the discussion of children's psychological development with respect to geography and, thereby, risks obscuring the narrative thrust of the article as a whole. The primary narrative strategy employed by Trimble to get his ideas across is a qualitative method that relies heavily upon autobiographical detail to illustrate his argument."

"The Bible": Inspired and Inerrant, 2005.
An argument for the defense of the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, from the beginning of the Church, the Scripture was believed to be inspired and inerrant, with a few minor exceptions and how it was only until the last few hundred years has "The Bible" come under scrutiny, and had its trustworthiness disputed. It provides a brief history of what the Church and Church fathers believed about the inspiration/ inerrancy of "The Bible" and gives several examples of how "The Bible" attests to its own inspiration and inerrancy.
Outline
Introduction
The Various Views of Inspiration/ Inerrancy
The Etymology of Inspiration/ Inerrancy
The History of Inspiration/ Inerrancy
The Theology of Inspiration/ Inerrancy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The doctrine of inspiration/ inerrancy is taught in the Bible. Dr. Towns wrote, "The content of the Bible teaches that it was given by the process of inspiration from God, so that the words were God's words and that they are accurate and reliable, hence they are authoritative." We have already stated that Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for correction and for training in righteousness." Peter wrote in Second Peter 1:21, "for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." When we take these two verses and combine them with verses in Numbers 23:19, 1Samuel 15:29, Titus 1:2 and Hebrews 6:18 (these verses all teach that God cannot lie) we can come to the conclusion that there are no errors in Scripture."

Political Ideologies, 2002.
Compares "The Declaration of the Rights of Man" (Jean-Jacques Rousseau and others) to Bishop Jacques Bossuet's "Politics Drawn from the Very Words of Holy Scripture".

Abstract
The ideologies presented in "The Declaration of the Rights of Man" and "Politics Drawn from the Very Words of Holy Scripture are vastly different, due to one being a staunch defense and declaration of the rights of all men as juxtaposed with the second which concerns the inherent, God-given rights of the sovereign king or queen to rule over their subjects. The paper shows that the "Declaration", approved by the National Assembly of France on August 26, 1789 while the French Revolution was well underway, reflects the radical revolutionary ideals of the ordinary French citizen by conveying the democratic ideals drawn for the most part from Rousseau and other figures of the Enlightenment. In essence, this document declares that the laws of democracy are supreme and that the reigning monarch cannot enforce so-called sovereign laws that severely restrict the natural liberties of the citizenry. The paper shows that, in contrast, the ideologies expressed by Bishop Jacques Bossuet (1627-1704) argue that the government was divinely ordained and that the monarchy was the most natural ruling entity, due to God?s establishment of kings who received their power and wisdom from God, thus making them the absolute authority figure and subject to no human laws except for those ordained by God.
From the Paper
"Every article contained in the ?Declaration of the Rights of Men,? being seventeen in total, contradict Bossuet?s ?theory of Absolutism? which holds that the sovereign power in a state rest in the hands of the king who rules by the ?divine? right of God. Article one states that ?men are born and remain free and equal in rights? which is very reminiscent of the main principle of the ?Declaration of Independence,? written some thirteen years before the ?Declaration of the Rights of Men.? This statement goes completely against the power of the high nobility with their immense estates and land holdings which were conferred upon them by the monarchy. Since all men are ?born and remain free and equal,? the nobility would find it increasingly difficult to maintain their authority which originated during the early days of the Medieval period when feudalism was the general practice."

Abstract
Examines his life, work, theological belief system, theory of salvation and the primacy of Scripture.
From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the life, work, and theological belief system of Martin Luther (1483-1546) regarding his vision of scripture as the way to salvation. The plan of the research will be to set forth the historical and theological context in which Martin Luther became a pivotal figure in European Christianity and the Protestant Reformation and then to discuss the pattern of ideas that emerged out of his experience, as well as the details of and means by which the articulation of these ideas exerted influence on the shape that European thought assumed as the medieval period made a transition toward the Renaissance.
When the late medieval period of the thirteenth century began to merge with the revival of classical learning and opened, by the time of the sixteenth century, into the Renaissance, a whole ..."
