Abstract
This essay is in the form of a letter from the Apostle Matthew to Paul. The letter cogently outlines Matthew's points of disagreement with Paul on issues of doctrine, practice and adherence to the laws according to the Old Testament.
From the Paper
"Dear Paul,
"I have come upon your letter written to the people of Galatia and I am appalled that you take the laws of the Torah so lightly. You claim that you received a revelation from Jesus Christ and are; therefore, an apostle of Jesus. How then could you have misunderstood the reason for his existence here on earth? You have stated, "A man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ" and that "by observing the law no one will be justified." You are preaching this to Gentile Christians, telling them they are not required to obey the Law of Moses. You do this because you believe Jesus came to abolish the Jewish laws, while the opposite is true."

Abstract
This paper examines Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians. The paper briefly adumbrates the historical context within which Paul was writing in 50-51 CE and the paper also examines the enduring themes that are to be found in the historically important correspondence. More than that, the paper adds the writer's personal comments and notes how the immanence of Christ was of great importance in this letter and how it remains a central plank of Christianity today.
From the Paper
"The first century AD was a time of great turmoil for Christians. Jesus, of course, had been executed at Golgotha and the Roman Empire was taking concerted steps to drive Christianity out of its environs. The following brief paper will briefly outline Paul's first letter by discussing his targeted audience and the purpose for his writing to them. Beyond that, the paper will offer a synopsis of the major themes encompassed within his letter as well as a few personal comments by the writer as to how these works impacted him personally. In the final analysis, Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians was intended to be a means of bolstering the faith of a small congregation that was facing enormous challenges and not just a little religious persecution.

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.

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.

The Bible: Paul's Letter to the Philippians, 2008.

Abstract
The paper explores the Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians. In particular, the paper discusses the author, the circumstances and historical period surrounding the writing of the letter , the culture of the age, the main themes and characters mentioned by Paul in his epistle and why they are important. The paper also examines the "then and there" meaning of the text, the "here and now" meaning as it is read in the twenty-first century and its impact on the author. The paper suggests that Paul's letter captures the spirit of his time, the pressures under which he and the church labored, and the high expectations all Christians are expected to satisfy. The paper concludes that the letter is a didactic bit of prose defining true Christian leadership.
From the Paper
"Scanning over Paul's letter, it is manifest that the "then and there" meaning was to give praise to his followers while simultaneously admonishing them to not fall into the bad ways of others. In a related vein, Paul's sharp criticism of the Pharisees exposes his contempt for the non-believers and it would seem he uses them as an example of individuals who fail to value the word of God, preferring somehow to believe that they know better than the teachings of Christ."

Abstract
This paper discusses the major purpose of St. Paul's "Letters to the Romans," a chapter in the Christian Bible. These letters served to introduce ideas behind Christianity such as the faithfulness of God and salvation to the masses. The author also explains that Paul's concerns about the Romans as inspired him to write these letters.
From the Paper
"St. Paul's letters to the Romans had many purposes the main one however, was the uniting of the church and the exhortation to the Gentile Christians to be more accepting of their Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ since the church was at that time comprised of mainly Gentile Christians. Paul knew that a church characterized by harmony would bring glory and honor to God however, Paul had other reasons as well for writing the letters to the Romans."

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."

Messages from James and Paul, 2006.
This paper examines the different messages from James and Paul and Paul's ideas of resurrection.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, $ 35.95
»
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.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the epistle of the Philippians in the New Testament. By realizing the many themes that Christ stands for in the expansion of the Church, we can see the role that Paul plays in the power that drives this religion. The active state of warfare, that is the essence of Paul, can be related here by the power that Christ holds for this powerful visionary of the Church. By analyzing Paul's everlasting contribution to the cause of Christ, the Philippians letter can illuminate why he was so driven in the case for Christianity.

Paul and Messiah, 2007.

Abstract
This paper presents Paul's view of Roman rule in light of his belief in Jesus and the Kingdom of God. The paper focuses on Paul's view of Julius Caesar, Rome rule, and Paul's religious beliefs. The writer explores Paul's letters to support the case that Paul did not agree with the idea of worshipping Caesar and did indeed consider Jesus to be the true messiah.
From the Paper
"With regards to the Roman rule Paul had issues with its foundation. At that time in world history Julius Cesar wanted to be worshipped as a God himself. He demanded complete loyalty and love from his subjects and he would not allow anyone to stray from worshipping him as he believed he should be worshipped. Paul denounced this demand as he believed that Jesus was the messiah and the one who should receive such divine and complete devotional worship from the people; Caesar was on his way to becoming the great divinity as a divine religion with him held as the messiah during the Greco-Roman Times."

Paul's Instructions on Sexual Immorality, 2005.
Examines Paul in the New Testament and his teachings on "sexual immorality."
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the writings of Paul in the New Testament, specifically 1 Corinthians 5, which addresses "sexual immorality." The paper explains Paul's letter and the circumstances of its writing, then looks at the historical background of the letter and its modern day implications for Christian ethics, especially regarding issues of gender and homosexuality.
From the Paper
"In 1 Corinthians chapter 5, Paul's letter responds to a situation of "sexual immorality" he has become aware of in the community. The situation he confronts is a man living with his step-mother as if they were married, which was against both Roman law and constituted a criminal act. Paul is presented with a somewhat sticky situation, because he is far away from people he feels particularly responsible towards, calling them his "offspring". Additionally, they are looking to him for guidance about a situation that is against Roman laws, when he also advocates Christians determining their own laws, as in 1 Corinthians chapter 6. Since his attention has been drawn to the subject, he must act upon it, informing the Christians of Corinth that the behavior is not to be tolerated."

Abstract
This paper explores the life and many achievements of the head of the Catholic church, Pope John Paul II. Author Tad Szulc argues in his book "Pope John Paul II, The Biography" that despite a seemingly difficult life and an even more unlikely rise to power, Pope John Paul II played a large role in the collapse of European communism. This paper also details many interesting revelations and historical facts of Pope John Paul II's life.
From the Paper
"Pope John Paul II has never deviated form the rigid principle he set forth with the start of his papacy. He will not stand for any public dissent within the church on matters of Catholic morality, ethics, faith and interpretation. He subsequently banned all controversial theological debates, citing the old Roman adage, causa finita est, meaning, when Rome speaks the matter is closed. Although his appointment seemed a harsh reality, John Paul none the less took up an almost opposite stance when it came to the poor and oppressed, becoming a powerful advocate for third world nations."

Paul and Trevor, 2002.
A comparison of the characters Paul (from the short story "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather) and Trevor ("The Destructors"by Graham Greene).

Abstract
The paper looks at two short stories - "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather and "The Destructors" by Graham Greene - and examines the contrasts and similarities between two of the main characters, Trevor and Paul.
The paper shows how both characters are rebels, although the way they rebel differs. It discusses how Trevor's is a physical rebellion, brought on by peer pressure and a need to destroy. Paul, on the other hand, rebels from the inside by way of outlandish clothes and mannerisms - as if to separate himself from the constricted society he finds himself in.
From the Paper
"Another difference is that Paul lives in fantasies, but Trevor does not. Paul sees the people of Cordelia street as unworthy of what he imagines himself to be and behaves sarcastically towards them, especially his teachers. He wears unbecoming clothes and loses attention to show that he does not belong there. But his rebellion exacts a much higher price in his mind, because he has no power to alter society without forfeiting something of magnitude ? his liberty or his life. Trevor?s ambition is only for the day and does not involve his entire existence."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how the major difference between the Apostle Paul and the other apostles is that Paul had not known Jesus while he was on earth as the Son of God. It examines how Paul?s conversion occurred only after the Ascension and how this fact plays a prominent role in his teachings about Jesus and about the apocalypse. It discusses this aspect of Paul?s Christianity together with specific aspects of the apocalypse that Paul deals with in his writings. The three ages of the apocalypse as seen by Paul are also examined.
Outline
The End of the World (1 Cor. 15)
The Resurrection (1 Cor 15 continued)
The Restoration of the World (Romans 8)
The Coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4)
From the Paper
"First, the end of the world as depicted by Paul in his first epistle to the Corinthians (Chapter 15:20-28) is considered. This is a celebration of God, who will come and reign over everything and everyone. Secondly, and closely related to this is Paul?s view of the resurrection (1Cor15:20-28), during which the earth and human beings are made new to conform to the spiritual realm. Thirdly Paul?s description of the restoration of the world in Romans 8:18-25 is considered. Here the premise is the hope that every Christian lives in that the suffering experienced in the world will end in glory. Finally, the way in which Paul deals with the coming of Christ in his first epistle to the Thessalonians (Chapter 4:13-18) is considered. Here Paul continues the theme of hope in terms of being reunited with those who have passed away."

Outline:
Introduction
His Life
Significance of Paul
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Paul has often been credited with making sure that the Christian faith became a universal faith. While there were many important names in the bible who helped to create the foundational universal nature of the Christian faith, Paul traveled the world to do it and the fact that he had been a rabbi gave his word a significant amount of creditability during the process. "
"Another contributor to the great significance that Apostle Paul had when it came to the Christian faith was his writing ability. While many of the Lord's followers were able to produce speeches and talks that were guided by the Lord, Paul had an extremely talented writing ability. This was during a time in which educated people who could write well were highly regarded, respected and revered. Paul was one of those people so much so that even from his house arrest status and his time in jail he was able to write down the things that he wanted the world to know about the Christian faith and have it spread in that manner .
