Abstract
This paper presents a a rhetorical analysis of the documentary "Tupac Resurrection". The paper analyzes the techniques used by the film director, Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur,in order to make Tupac more of a symbol than a human being.
From the Paper
"The documentary Tupac Resurrection discusses the controversial short-lived life and death of the late rapper Tupac Shakur. His life is notorious due to the drama his music and message has left not only on the hip-hop community, but also the world. The movie also uses instances of how Shakur grew up in hard times and elevated to the role model he was before he passed away. Of course since this documentary hit the box offices and was a feature film, it was targeted to the American people to see a different side of Tupac Shakur. Ironically, Tupac narrates the film with the use of old footage and past interviews to take a first person feel of Tupac's life and death. But more over, since this film was also directed and commentated by Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother, it is directed to the audience of pro Tupac fans. This also entails that the documentary is somewhat one-sided and missing an outside perspective. With Afeni as the backbone of the project, Tupac as portrayed with the utmost respect and prestige. Through various narrative strategies, patterns, and music the director sets forth a positive outlook on the life of Tupac Shakur."

Abstract
The biggest question that Christians can be asked or ask themselves is what evidence do you have and what reassurance can you give that Christ was actually God? Saints have miracles attributed to them as Christ did, but they are not God. Jesus is considered to have been a prophet by the Jews. Jesus was unquestionably a man. So, what can be used to demonstrate his existence, the justification for faith in him rather than in the God of the Hebrews? It is, for the Christian, the Resurrection that cements belief. It is the Resurrection, the moving of the rock, and the disappearance of the Body of Christ, followed by His reappearance, that proves his divinity to the Christian. While Lazarus was raised from the dead, he did not do so of his own accord. Christ, however, was released from his mortal body; thus freed to return to his state as the Deity. It is the purpose of this paper to explore the Resurrection and its significance as the single most important event for the Christian faith.

Resurrection, 2004.
A discussion of resurrection through a review of the 15th chapter of I Corinthians.
966 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 34.95

Abstract
This paper examines Christ's resurrection from the dead, one of the central images of Christianity and a cornerstone of Christian belief. The paper explains that, throughout I Corinthians 15, the chapter of the epistle that refers to the resurrection in greater detail than any other, Paul emphasizes the concept of grace. As grace is a central concept in Christian ideology, the resurrection is a central motif.
From the Paper
"Christ's resurrection from the dead is one of the central images of Christianity and a cornerstone of Christian belief. Referred to throughout the Gospels, the resurrection of the body is particularly meaningful to Pauline thought. Therefore, the 15th chapter of I Corinthians can aptly illustrate the meaning of the resurrection for the Christian community in general. Resurrection was not a unique feature of Christianity, as the notion of rising from the dead played a large part in the ancient religions of Egypt and the Middle East. However, Greek philosophy denied the possibility of resurrection. Paul anticipates the skepticism of his audience when he poses the rhetorical question in I Corinthians 15:12: "But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?" Therefore, Paul's delivery of Christianity to Corinth, Greece could in large part be an attempt to underscore the potency of faith, and the importance of unconditional belief in God and Jesus Christ."

"The Resurrection of Father Brown", 2002.
A review of the novel "The Resurrection of Father Brown" by G.K. Chesterton.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the book "The Resurrection of Father Brown" by G.K. Chesterton and examines how the author presents a variety of characters, each representing a certain social and political faction and its related interests. In particular it shows how he presents two pairs of characters, one North American and one South American, to create a context of comparison and contrast and how through these characters Chesterton creates both the argument against and the defense for the role of the Church in colonial lands. It examines how Chesterton tries to reverse the notion that Catholic missions exploit the innocence and ignorance of native people by suggesting a deeper plot of exploitation perpetrated by the convergence of various conflicting factions.
From the Paper
"The first and most important character we meet in the story, the American newspaper man, Paul Snaith, displays what can in many ways, be considered a typical North American attitude. Beginning with his opinion of the ?natives,? he displays opinions symbolic of the American outlook. Displaying an infamous indifference towards other peoples and cultures, Snaith, upon encountering the locals, ?would probably have described them as natives, though some of them were very proud of their Spanish blood. But he was not one to draw any fine distinction between Spaniards and Red Indians, being rather disposed to dismiss people from the scene when once he had convicted them of being native to it (94).?

Resurrection of a Female Disciple, 2005.
An exegesis paper providing commentary and detail of Peter's resurrection of the disciple Tabitha in Acts 9:36-42.

Abstract
This is an exegesis paper analyzing the time period, author, world-view, location and other relevant information regarding this passage in Acts. It also incorporates commentary from a number of sources that reveal the context and meaning behind the passage.
From the Paper
"In chapter 9 of the book of Acts, Luke details the resurrection of a woman by the apostle Peter. This, in the broadest terms, is agreed upon by all. However, a number of more minor details are somewhat disputed, and no two translations are exactly the same. One is reminded of the childhood game "Telephone"-each player delivers their perception of the original message, and by the end of the line the original phrase has been so distorted as to be unrecognizable. While the Bible has retained, in large part, its original message, slight alterations (especially when taken as literal fact) are enough to cause disruption and division within churches. By analyzing the differing translations and meanings behind particular passages, one can come to a better understanding of the original intent."

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, 2004.
A debate on whether the resurrection of Jesus Christ can be considered fact or fiction.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses how, by utilizing the best-established facts surrounding this topic, the question as to what really happened after Jesus Christ was crucified at Golgotha can be addressed with some certainty, while allowing room for much speculation. It looks at how a majority of contemporary Christian scholars, who study the Holy Bible and, especially, the New Testament, genuinely believe that the disciples saw the risen Jesus after his crucifixion, whereas the lack of hard data to support this belief leads others to believe that the story is, in fact, a myth.
From the Paper
"In support of the information that Paul, Peter and James supplied about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is clear that the disciples experienced some kind of visual manifestation, for "it is almost impossible to dispute that at the historical roots of Christianity lie some visionary experiences. . . understood as appearances of Jesus, raised by God from the dead" (West, 235). But is it truly as clear as West maintains? Could the apostles have possibly fabricated all the material with the intention that it serve as the basis for their new religion, being Christianity? Logically, any new religion must have converts and the information provided to these converts must be strong and infallible, for without a solid foundation to lie upon, the entire structure will collapse."

Abstract
The symbolic representation within "Theft" by Katherine Anne Porter and William Saroyan's "The Resurrection of a Life" are analyzed throughout this literary study. By understanding how a stolen purse depicts economic in the Great Depression of the 1930s; one can also realize how war becomes a personal account of death through the eyes of a young boy in World War I. It is shown in this paper that, in this manner, the symbolic value of these stories reflects personal experiences and philosophical views of life as portrayed through these authors.
From the Paper
"This literary study will examine the nature of symbolic representation within the short stories "Theft" by Katherine Anne Porter and "The Resurrection of a Life" by William Saroyan. In "Theft" one can realize how a purse becomes the symbol for Great Depression Era poverty and desperation in Porter's writing. Also, war becomes the symbol for death and destruction in Saroyan's depiction of ware experiences within his lifetime. This study will analyze how symbolism is reflected within these two classic short stories. In Saroyan's short story "A Resurrection of a Life" he uses the symbolism of war to reflect his own feelings about death. The tale revolves around a paperboy in 1917 that is poverty stricken due to the events that warfare has brought about him."

Abstract
This paper explores the concept of death and dying from the religious perspective of the United Methodist Church and looks at the impact this philosophy has on one's personal experiences with death and dying. The paper reviews the Methodist tradition, which holds that death is either a great homecoming for those who are saved or a doorway to eternal damnation for the unsaved. This is followed by a discussion on how this philosophy often liberates followers from their anxiety and fear of death and the positive effect this liberation has on their lives. An explanation of the way the United Methodist Church handles possible negative effects of its traditional concept of death is provided, as well as an overview of how Methodists handle the aftermath of death.
From the Paper
"According to official releases by the United Methodist Church (UMC), their beliefs on death and the after life are rather straightforward. All people have sinned and deserve to go to hell (a place of eternal punishment and pain) because of all the wrong things they have done. No one is good enough to escape hell by themselves, but the death of Christ is capable of saving those who believe in him. Salvation is based entirely on faith, and once one has accepted Christ nothing can take that salvation away. Those who have been thus saved get to go to heaven instead of hell. Heaven, of course, is a wonderful and perfect place full of love and mercy and so forth. All those in heaven experience a spiritual and physical resurrection, and in essence get to live again with God."

Khalidi On The Current War In Iraq
Problems In The Middle East And Central Asia
Important Issues In The Analysis Of The Conflicts In The Middle East And Central Asia
Contemporary History And Political Situation With Iraq And Iran
Final Comments and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Algeria, after many years of terrorist and bloody warfare eventually gave up the ghost of French rule. This is a sobering and sad reminder for Americans, as they attempt to negotiate peace and create a new regime for Iraq. The only real critique of Khalidi's cultural analysis is that it provides little hope for the present, with the only healing medicine perhaps the suggestion that greater cultural understanding of how the U.S. appears to other nations is necessary. America will fail, the author suggests, for even if it does not see itself as an imperialist power, that is what the people it is supposedly attempting to help see, in the face of every American serviceman or woman. It is impossible for the United States to not be regarded as a harbinger of imperialism, just as it is impossible to forget the past, as much as it may try."
