Abstract
In this essay, the views of Tillich and Buber are discussed as a way to understand the idea of a personal relationship with God. Tillich assumes an existential perspective, such that God is an essential part of Being and so an aspect of a relationship with our own human essence. Buber advocates a social relationship as a moral faith in others, so that an I-Thou relationship is a manifestation of a relationship with God. Neither theologian argue for omnipotent authority in faith, but instead propose that humanity is best actualized through moral faith in ourselves, and in others.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the papacy of Pope John Paul II, explaining that he was active in both the political and religious arenas. The paper contends that, although his papacy has taken a few hits due to the recent abuse issues within the church, on the whole it was a positive force for the social good. The paper points to the example of how Pope John Paul II supported solidarity, not just through his association with the labor union, but also through his actions to bring the Roman Catholic Church into solidarity through its parishes and through attempts at unity with other faiths.
From the Paper
"Most people in the Western world, whether Roman Catholic or not, are familiar with the name of the late Pope John Paul II. Pope John Paul II, or Karol Wojtyla, as he was known in secular life, was a charismatic figure at the head of arguably the most influential church in the late twentieth century. However, John Paul II was far more than "merely" a holy man. Over his lifetime, he was also a poet, a freedom fighter, and a political activist, as well as being a diplomat and a priest. For all that he did as a priest and as the pope, John Paul II never forgot the country from which he came. When Poland was suffering under the control of the Soviet Union, supported the actions of the Polish labor group, Solidarity."

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of Paul's character in Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" by focusing on three of his attributes: 1) his tendency to be very self-oriented and separated from the others around him 2) his over-concern for all things that glitter and 3) his damaged psyche.
From the Paper
"In Willa Cather?s story ?Paul?s Case?, the character Paul embodied the Calvinist household in which he was raised in. Paul is a very self-oriented and introverted boy whose every action is designed and calculated to prevent others from seeing the real him. Paul is also a person who is overly concerned with money, wealth, and glamour; all which he believes will take him to the top and get him off Cordelia Street, which he despises with a passion. Paul is also under all of his mental armor, is scared, scarred and mentally damaged by his father and by his teachers so much that he can no longer go on living."

From the Paper
"The Civil Rights Movement in its contemporary form started in 1955 with an act of mild disobedience by a black woman on a bus in the Deep South. Black leaders developed several strategies over the next few years, strategies that would be successful in changing laws and in getting some of the long-standing discriminatory institutions of the South changed. Between 1954 and 1965, the Civil Rights Movement developed into a major movement for social justice, societal change, and self-determination for millions of black Americans. The tactics undertaken by the movement have ranged from violent to nonviolent, with nonviolent predominating under the direction of Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers. The movement started first around the busing issue in Montgomery, Alabama, but it was also the culmination of decades of frustration nearly a century ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses three books that describe western civilization's progress toward modernism: "Kidnapped", "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Dynamics of Faith". The paper examines the characters of David in "Kidnapped" and Paul in "All Quiet on the Western Front." The paper portrays how the authors of these two novels present a dim view of a society that often embraces evil at the expense of faith and humanity. The paper notes that "Dynamics of Faith" by Paul Tillich takes a more optimistic view of the modern world and modernity.
From the Paper
"Both of these novels take place at crucial times in history, when the world was changing in many ways. In "Kidnapped," David's life alters because of his parent's death and his circumstances change dramatically. He begins to see a side of life that can only be described as more "modern" than he was used to - filled with dangerous men with little faith or goodness in them. Stevenson seems to be saying there is great evil in the world of the 1750s - murder, slavery, arranged kidnappings, and more, and it is due to a lack of faith and Godliness in many people."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine object relations theory as it relates to a Christian view of sin, grace, and the life of faith. The plan of the research will be to set forth a working definition and description of object relations psychological theory and then to discuss ways in which it has found analogues and resonance in the nexus of spiritual and psychological experience in the theology of Paul Tillich, a major twentieth-century Christian theologian.
Object relations theory is a branch of psychology that focuses on anxiety disorders associated with unsatisfactory ways that individuals may cope with the world, owing to their level of cognitive development. How individuals perceive their place in the world and their ability to deal with the wash of experience, as well as their status vis-?-vis other individuals, is of.."

An overview of the connection between Martin Heidegger?s philosophy and Nazism.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the German philosopher, Martin Heidegger, is a highly controversial figure because of his Nazi connections during Hitler?s dictatorship in Germany. It looks at how, although the extent of his collaboration with the Nazis is now clearly established by irrefutable evidence, Heidegger is still considered to be a titan among the 20th century philosophers and has influenced thinkers as diverse as Herbert Marcuse, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, and Paul Tillich, among others.
From the Paper
"Johannes Fritsche points out another connection to Nazism in Heidegger?s philosophy in his Historical Destiny and National Socialism in Heidegger's Being and Time. Fritsche believes that Heidegger?s idiom and use of language in Being and Time were part of a shared tradition of right-wing thought that emerged in the 1920s in Germany the subtlety of Heidegger?s language got lost in translation and led to its misunderstanding by the existentialist philosophers. He points out that Heidegger?s theory about achieving authenticity means the opposite of exercising freedom and is an answer to a call to live life according to one?s fate. For Heidegger, fate had a definite political content?the fate of the patriotic German being identified with the Volksgemeinschaft, a term used by the Nazis to denote a community of the people bound by race and heritage."

Messages from James and Paul, 2006.
This paper examines the different messages from James and Paul and Paul's ideas of resurrection.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the relatively short chapter of James, when compared to the longer writings of Paul to the Romans, appears to illustrate many dividing messages from the early church. The more prolific author, Paul, conveys a much more political agenda, speaking decisively regarding Jews, Gentiles and the Law, while James instead focuses on the importance of actions in faith, writing for "all God's people scattered over the whole world." The paper explains that as these two authors are writing for different audiences, they write with particular purposes. The paper discusses how the letter of James looks closely at specific practices of the Christian beliefs, illustrating how faith is meant to properly be put into action.

Paul's Letter To The Galatians, 2002.
An analysis of the origin, meaning and impact of Paul's letter to the Galatians and to the faithful in general.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will set out the background to the letter, before looking at why Paul wrote it and what he had to say to the Galatians and to the faithful in general. It will argue that Paul was attempting to counter the message of a group of Judaizers within the Church who argued that the Gentile converts had to abide by Jewish law. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul argues that righteousness is justified by faith in Christ, and not by relying on law. The crux of this paper's argument is that Paul's letter to the Galatians was about replacing allegiance to a code of law with allegiance to a person, this being Jesus Christ.

What is Love?
How did Martin Luther King evoke Fear?
How did Martin Luther King transform Society?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When one examines Martin Luther King's actions and methods through the lens of love and faith it is easier to understand his philosophy. He was not a complete pacifist as many believe and was appalled at the atrocities that blacks had to endure. He felt that it was acceptable to defend yourself, especially when one's loved ones were threatened. His underlying reason for pursuing his dream was out of love for the black people. His faith gave him the ability to exude a confidence that was transferred to the crowd. It was love and faith that plummeted Mr., King to develop his plan that would help change the image of black Americans. Malcolm X saw the differences that King made with his philosophy based on faith and love,. Martin Luther King's methods taught the world that they could live together in a less colorblind world."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in Janet Lewis's "The Wife of Martin Guerre", the character of Martin possesses a cold and unforgiving nature and how his cruelty is evident in the pain he causes his wife, Bertrande, in both his absence and his presence.
From the Paper
"Martin's presence is commonly regarded as a blessed time in Bertrand's tortured existence, with the vivid descriptions of there happiness together, "she kissed him on both cheeks feeling the warmth of the sun upon his flesh", overpowering the earlier descriptions of Martin's cruelty towards Bertrande, the displays of his cruel nature; "he cuffed Bertrande soundly upon the ears". The beautiful imagery used to describe the village of Artigues and the later happiness of Martin and Bertrande causes the reader to forget the coldness of Martin towards Bertrande earlier in the book, his first signs of affection towards his wife do not occur until she earnestly defends his rebellious acts against his father, then becoming his only confidant."

Abstract
This paper reports on "Paul Robeson: A Biography" by Martin Bauml Duberman, which tells about the man who made a name as one of the most famous black singers and actors of the twentieth century. He achieved his success at a time when racism and discrimination were prevalent and he fought against these ills and became an activist on these and similar issues. He further ran afoul of the political forces of the time because of his communist leanings and this reduced his ability to work in his later years. The paper explains that, in this book, Duberman provides a detailed account of Robeson's life, an in-depth biography that covers Robeson's life and work, including material from his letters and other writings as well as interviews, newspaper and magazine articles, and so on.

"The Book of Love" and Martin Luther King, 2005.
Examines the relevance of the message from Paul's "The Book of Love", used by Martin Luther King in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail"

Abstract
It wasn't so long ago when racial injustice was so blatant that a black person was unable to simply buy a cup of coffee in certain restaurants. The paper argues that, today, racial injustice is a bit more secretive, a bit more underhanded, but is undeniably still there. Certainly, businesses no longer hang "Whites Only" signs in their windows, but glass ceilings, housing discrimination, and many other examples still exist in America 40 years after Martin Luther King's powerful "Letter from Birmingham Jail". The paper shows that by skillfully and purposefully using the Apostle Paul's "Book of Love", King's strong exhortations are a powerful lesson that is still relevant today.
From the Paper
"Paul explains the reasons why he has such a problem with the fornication occurring in Corinth. His explanation is similar in tone and process to King's going into detailed explanation of why segregation is wrong and how non-violent action is really the best solution. Both lay out their points quite clearly and convincingly, yet without fancy verbiage to impress the reader. Their words are simply based in heartfelt sentiment and inner passion for their beliefs. Their words further continue to convey their discontent."

Abstract
This paper examines Martin Luther's crusade against what he viewed as corruption in the Roman Catholic Church and the greater importance of faith in God and Jesus Christ than of good works, as stated in his famous work, "The Freedom of a Christian Man".
From the Paper
"Martin Luther introduced new religious ideas that would shake the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church throughout Europe. He was responding to what he viewed as corruption in the Church, such as the sale of indulgences and simony, the buying of ecclesiastical authority, as well as more spiritual aspects, such as which of the sacraments were valid according to the Bible, and the issue of faith as opposed to good works. By ?works,? Luther refers to the actions of the individual in his/her daily life. Good works could include helping a neighbor with a problem, giving to charity, or doing something kind. In his statement from The Freedom of a Christian Man, ?law? means the mandates of the Church, of the Bible, and of society that are meant to keep people from doing what are considered bad or evil things."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"In the days of Martin?s theological studies as a monk, he studied the bible rigorously. One passage in the bible stood out in his mind: ?The just shall live by faith.? One of Luther?s first assignments as a monk was to join another monk in a trip to Rome. In Martin Luther?s mind Rome was a sacred place. Instead of a sacred place Luther saw a place of wickedness, greed, crime and corruption (Harper). Luther states: ?Where God builds a church, the Devil puts a chapel next door.? He also stated: ?The closer to Rome,the worse the Christians.? "
