Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of the "Sons of God". Specifically, it explores and argues that the "Sons of God" in Genesis 6 are human by using the following verses as background on the subject: Deuteronomy 9:18; Joshua 7:6; Psalm 112; Genesis 4:26; Numbers 13:33; and Job 1:6, 2:1.
From the Paper
"They were the Sons of God in that they had some of the mighty traits of their Father, but in the end, they still fell like any other human. In fact, earlier in Genesis, in 4:26, the writer notes that "men began to call upon the name of the Lord" ("Holy Bible" 3), thus, even before the Sons of God make an appearance, men have begun calling upon him, and calling him their Father. Numbers 13:33 refers again to this race of giants who later disappeared. "And there we saw the giants, the sons of Amak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight" ("Holy Bible" 123). This reference comes after the reference to the "Sons of God" in Genesis, but seems to refer to the same race of "larger than life" men that God sent to the world, then found to be weak and full of sin."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the history of the idea that Jesus is the Son of God and the lasting light. According to the paper, the notion of Jesus as the unique son of the divinity emerged as one of the key, theological divisions between the Christian and the Jewish belief systems of the ancient world. The paper goes on to discuss the various interpretations of the term 'Son of God'.
From the Paper
"But nowhere in the Christian Bible are there more numerous phrases in which Jesus is specifically heralded as the Son of God, than in John's Gospel. Jesus repeatedly draws attention to his relationship with God the Father in such passages as: "My Father worketh until now; and I work.... For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son. That all may honour the Son, as they honour the Father." (Cited by Aherene, 2002, v, 17, 20-23). John sets out the unique duties of Father and Son in this passage, and for Trinitarians, this provides evidence for the existence of a multifaceted, multi 'peopled' divinity with a Father and a Son."

Jesus, God the Son.
This paper uses biblical sources to discuss Jesus, God the Son.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, as the Second Adam, Jesus re-enacted the scene in the Garden of Eden and reversed the choice of the First Adam through perfect obedience to God, the Father, who came into the world without the curse of sin, which has passed from Adam down to the last mortal, by being conceived of the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Divine Trinity and born of a virgin, Mary of Nazareth. The author points out that Jesus speaks of God, the Father, as His Father in a most distinct way. God is the Father of others in that He is of the same nature as His Father, His divine sonship being clearly recorded in the Synoptic Gospels. The paper relates that every mortal is confronted with a choice to accept or reject the offer of salvation by Jesus Christ, who claims to be the Son of God and God the Son; the choice involves everlasting happiness or everlasting punishment, and it is not a mere option that can be rationalized.
From the Paper
"In the company of His first disciples, Jesus walked on the sea, calmed the storm and cast out demons (Mark 6:47-50, Mark 1:23-28, 4:35-41). After 40 days and 40 nights of fasting in the wilderness, Jesus was tempted by the devil to prove that He is the Son of God by turning stones into bread and hurling Himself down from the top of a temple (Matt 4:4-6). He preached that men should come to God trustingly as little children, "for such is the kingdom of God (Mark 10:13-16)." He taught obedience to God the Father from His own example of perfect obedience, even to the point of dying on the cross (Philippians 2:8), as His part in the divine plan, for which alone He became flesh."

Abstract
J. Spence's book "God's Chinese Son" deals with the life of Hong Xiuquan, the leader of China's famous Taiping Rebellion of the nineteenth century. This report looks at Spence's portrait of Hong Xiuquan in terms of the author's background, the general topic of the Taiping Rebellion, the reasons for choosing this topic, the use of sources and, finally, conclusions about the book.
From the Paper
"The topic also involves the Western imperialist in China and is seen to have had several motivations. First of all, there was the monetary consideration: a great amount of riches was seen to be there for the taking in China, and many rushed to claim it. It also affected the way in which they thought of adding glory to their own cultural and religious
assumptions: by establishing order and the expressed will of the Christian religion in these new areas, the settlers reflected what they believed to be divine law in the provided areas of settlement in China, and the Christian church gained in power and wealth. Conquest was seen as a religious task: the souls of the native inhabitants were seen to be at stake, and missionaries vied to provide religious conversion and instruction, often reaching societies before explorers."

Abstract
A paper which discusses Jonathan Spence's book "God?s Chinese Son: The Chinese Heavenly Kingdom of Hong Xiuquan" about Chinese Christian missionary Hong Xiuquan who led the Taiping ?Great Peace? Rebellion in a bid to gain power over China's major cities and succeeded in seizing Nanjing in 1853. By examining Spence's book, the paper delves into questions such as: What is the nature of Christianity and how should the missionary movement conduct itself in foreign lands? How did the Taiping Rebellion affect geopolitical forces, in China and abroad? Did the Taiping Rebellion carve the way for the Communist revolution in the following century? What does it mean to have a religious conviction and apply it with military force?
From the Paper
"Christianity already had its claws in Asia by the 1840s, as did Western trade interests. China?s Qing dynasty faced serious challenges to its integrity as it pondered the course of the nation?s future. Protestant missionaries that had flourished in the 19th century began to distribute, on a large scale, religious tracts and Chinese-language Bibles. The impact of these missionaries and their publications might not have been foreseen by the Qing dynasty, which already had begun to splinter. It is within this chaotic and semi-stable environment, coupled with the personal stress of continuously failing his Confucian exams, that Hong Xiuquan had his spiritual visions."

"Paradise Lost", 2002.
A comparison between the heroic qualities of the Son of God and Satan in John Milton's "Paradise Lost".
1,298 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how John Milton's "Paradise Lost" presents us with complex images of the hero and how we have come to understand the epic hero being portrayed as a person of historical significance possessing courage and strength and usually placed in a grand setting. It looks at how heroic actions and characteristics are present in the Son of God and Satan and examines the similarities and differences between each character.
From the Paper
"The Son of God can easily be seen as the hero of Paradise Lost because he is good. He sits with God in Heaven and because he is the Son, his actions (as well as his person) are perfect. For instance, Milton tells us that the Son is ?most glorious . . . and in his face/Divine compassion visibly appeared,/Love without end, and without measure grace? (III.139-42). God says that the Son is his word, wisdom, and effectual might (III.171). The Son of God is obedient to his father, follows the commands of God with a good attitude, and he is meek, kind, and humble. Because of his ultimate nature, it is difficult to understand the extent of his goodness and selflessness; however, it is this complexity that also contributes to his heroic quality. In addition, the Son of God remains heroic because he does not change."

Themes and Concepts in "Lament for a Son", 2002.

Abstract
This paper is a literary analysis of Wolterstorff?s Lament for a Son, It looks at his theories on God in lieu of the loss of his son in a mountain climbing accident and sees God as a God who fights death, and suffers when people die. Also, he looks at why suffering exists, and how it is a counterpart of love.
From the paper:
"In Nicholas Wolterstorff?s ?Lament for a Son,? the author tries to explain the thought processes he experienced throughout the ordeal of his son?s death. When Eric Wolterstorff died in a mountain climbing accident, his father?s life was changed forever, and it is this change and the repercussions that change had that is the focus of the book?s search for truth. Through reflecting on the thoughts and comments of others and comparing them with his own experience, Wolterstorff attempts to convey both his new questions about God, and also the answers that proved true for him. An important part of fully processing this text is to examine his questions and his thought processes about those questions in both a moral and theological light, and also give personal reactions to the author?s reasoning and assertions."

Abstract
This paper shows how, in his "Confessions", Augustine reflects back on his life, particularly his memories of Monica, his mother and Adeodatus, his son, and interprets their meanings as God working through daily intervention to change the way Augustine thinks and feels.
From the Paper
"The Confessions is St. Augustine's reflection back on his life, and his search for God during it. He chronicles his experiences from birth until the present time, and explains the deeper meaning that he now sees in each one. Through his reflection, his is able to deeper understand the ways in which God works, and is able to unite with God in spirit. It is through this deeper understanding that in the time he was searching for God in earthly ideas and objects, God was within him all along. Augustine did not find God while searching for him, God revealed himself to Augustine through Augustine's personal history and experience."

Abstract
This paper explains that many Christians ask at some time and, for the practice of true faith, should be given answers to questions, such as: Who or what was Jesus Christ? Was he God? Was he human? Is he equal or subordinate to God the Father? Is he separate from God the Father? The author points out that it has been acknowledged that the doctrine of the Trinity does not appear explicitly in the Bible; yet, all branches of Christianity believe in the oneness of God, but vary when it comes to defining the three entities usually referred to as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The paper relates that the data mostly will be collected from reliable theological, historical and philosophical texts and live interviews of various acknowledged experts, including theologians, religious scholars, and representatives of various Churches.

From the Paper
"The Nicene Creed was amended and competed in 381 AD and the third Ecumenical council reaffirmed the 381 version, and stated that no further changes could be made to it, nor could other creeds be adopted. Despite the dogmatic proposals of the council however modifications in the Nicene Creed continued as conflicts over terminology arose between the Eastern and western factions of the church. The phrase ?and the Son? to describe the structure of the three persons in the Trinity, or the filioque clause as it is known was first added to the the Nicene Creed at a Synod of Toledo in Spain in 451AD. In theory the Western segment of the Church viewed the Holy Spirit as coming from the Father and the Son, but not subordinate to either. The Eastern part thought of the Holy Spirit as coming from the Father through the Son. The dispute contributed to the Great Schism of the Eastern and Western branches in 1054."

Hermes, Son of Zeus, 2007.

Abstract
This paper explains that Hermes, son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, who was an extremely active god, is well known for his actions as a newborn child and his involvement in the Trojan War. The author points out that Homer, in his epic poem "The Iliad" and his "Hymn IV" pays homage to Hermes as both a youth and as an accomplished and powerful god; whereas, Apollodorus focuses on Hermes' actions as an infant. The paper states that both authors present Hermes as being powerful, majestic and cunning.
From the Paper
"Essentially, Hermes forces Apollo and Zeus to recognize his potential as a god. If they decided to give him his due, he would exert himself in a powerful, but majestic way. If, however, he was not granted what he believed that he deserved, he would be able to cause much trouble for the immortals. Zeus, through Apollo, wisely recognized Hermes' potential and awarded him a desirable position in the kingdom of the immortals. Although Hermes is most associated as the messenger god, he was also in charge of commerce and escorting people to Hades."

From the Paper
"Votes were taken with the result being 1114 voting in favor of integration of the marian schema into the Church Constitution and 1074 in favor of a separate schema for Mary. It is stated that this division was reported by news media to be a split as to whether the authenticity of Mary as Mediatrix was to be adopted into the church however, in reality the only division among the Cardinals was as to whether a separate schema should be given to Mary.
Mary is held up as an example of what is termed a "total faith response to God". (McBride, 2003) Chapter VIII of Lumen Gentium states that the Old Testament is to be "understood in the light of further and full revelation." (LG #55) According to mariologist James O'Connor: "in the light of the fullness of revelation we are not 'reading back into' the documents something which is not really there, but something which is truly there but only fully understood when read in the perspective of the completed work." (O'Connor, 1986)"

Abstract
This paper describes one of the most well-known parables the "Prodigal Son" or "Lost Son" (Luke 15:11-32), which encompasses all the ideas of Christian doctrine. The author discusses the literal and the spiritual or metaphorical interpretations of the message of the story and relates the way that Franco Zeffirelli directed the telling of this parable in his movie "Jesus of Nazareth". The author concludes that Zeffirelli probably chose to include this scene in the movie as a way to visually demonstrate the response that Jesus' listeners had when incorporating the story into their own lives.
From the Paper
"Because Jesus' mission on Earth was to spread the word of God and wash away people's sins, the purpose of this particular parable is to show that even the most corrupt individual can still enter the Kingdom of Heaven if he or she places full faith in the Lord and asks to be forgiven for his or her sins. In order to be permitted to enter the Lord's Kingdom, one must trust and believe completely in the words of Jesus and the omnipotent supremacy of God over all things human and earthly."

Abstract
This paper explores Arthur Miller and his play "All My Sons" in the context of Miller's background, his intentions for the play and the time in which the play was created. This paper takes place in two parts. The first part assesses Arthur Miller's personal history and remarks upon his history which helped create the foundation for "All My Sons". There is an emphasis on the historical, political, social and cultural influences that had an impact on Miller. The second part of this paper explores the character of Joe in "All My Sons" in order to demonstrate how Miller emphasizes his background within Joe, as Joe is a character who is working to achieve the American Dream through conducting unscrupulous business deals. This paper concludes by demonstrating that the character of Joe is remarkably similar in his business ethics to the current state of American business in the wake of Enron.

Abstract
This paper discusses the father-son conflict between the characters of Joe Keller and Chris Keller in "All My Sons," written by Arthur Miller. The paper shows how Miller uses this conflict to progress and refine his theme that men are responsible for their actions and their fellow brother's actions. It discusses the reasons for the conflict and what it comes to teach the reader.
From the Paper
"The conflict between the two characters, Joe Keller and Chris Keller, arises for two reasons. The first reason is that Joe Keller represents the old generation, in his realistic and practical thinking, as apposed to Chris Keller's romantic and idealistic way of thinking. Another reason for conflict is that Joe Keller puts his family before anything else and sticks to securing the father image and paternal responsibility at home. Joe is a survivalist and sees that the security of his family is the most important thing. Chris on the other hand believes that having a solid connection with the outside world beyond the individual family is more ideal way of life. Chris Keller is one who will sacrifice for the greater good of mankind. Joe Keller represents the people who stayed in America during the war and Chris represents the veterans of the war. Ultimately there is a generation gap at the basis of this conflict."
