Abstract
This paper examines how the book "Unholy Trinity" by Beate Born and Richard Peet uses the ideas of power, political interest, hegemony, responsibility and the power of practicality to examine three global governance institutions: The International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the World Trade Organization (WTO). It looks at how the book argues that the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO impose a virtually synonymous set of neoliberal economic policies on countries the world over and how the policies are imposed as conditions for loans in time of crisis, as qualifications for debt relief, as part of development assistance for countries much in need and as requirements for membership in vital international trade agreements.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The rise of neoliberalism culminated with the Reagan government in the United States and that of Margaret Thatcher in Britain, along with the fall of the Soviet Union and the fading of social democracy and new liberalism as alternatives to unbridled capitalism. These governments not only shifted their own countries' policies toward laissez-faire but used their control of the major Bretton Woods institutions to impose their policies on the rest of the world. So nowadays, neoliberalism is generally seen as synonymous with the "Washington Consensus," the dominant policy view at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the U.S. Treasury at the end of the 20th century and the start of the 21st."

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at how the unholy trinity and the Holy Trinity are related in "Paradise Lost" by John Milton. The essay defines the hierarchy of God, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It also discusses the origin of Satan, Sin and Death. The author also includes supporting quotes from the text.
From the Paper
"You can be sure if the FOX television network could get there hands on a few angels, they would do everything in their power to try and publicly corrupt them on some morally reprehensible reality show. Fortunately for us, reality television was not yet invented when John Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Milton's work details the fall of Satan, the creation of hell, the advent of mankind and the origin of sin. The story is largely based on the depictions found in the bible. The central theme of the tale is the conflict between good and evil. Good is represented by the holy trinity. The holy trinity consists of God, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Evil is represented by the unholy trinity of Satan, Sin and Death. The forces of good and evil collide both overtly and covertly throughout the story. It is important to note that both sides of this supernatural war have their own strengths and weaknesses. What is more important is that both the unholy trinity and the holy trinity are dependant on each other in order for the entire story to reach mirror the ending that is found in the bible. In John Milton's Paradise Lost, the characteristics of the holy trinity are deeply entwined with those of the unholy trinity in order for the story to reach its natural conclusion."

Abstract
This paper primarily aims to clarify whether Jesus Christ did miracles out of his own divine nature or by the empowering of the Holy Spirit. It begins by describing how the Tri-unity or trinity works (one God, three persons) and discusses what that implies as far as their interrelations go. It specifically discusses whether the Father is superior to the Son and looks at the Gospels for proof.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Tri-unity, Perfect Fellowship Of Three Persons In One Essence.
The Eternal Trinity
The Trinity in the Plan of Redemption
Jesus Christ's Reliance On The Spirit During His Earthly Life.
The Indwelling of the Spirit in Christ
The Conception of Christ
The Baptism of Christ
The Anointing of Christ
The Miracles of Christ
The Death of Christ
The Resurrection of Christ
The Post-Resurrection/ Pre-Ascension ministry of Christ
After the Resurrection
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Jesus Christ, the son of God came to earth with the purpose of redemption. He lived a sinless perfect life on this earth being fully God and fully man for about 33 years. His cooperation with the Holy Spirit is another aspect of the example and lifestyle he left for us to contemplate and practice."
"In Luke 4, Jesus Christ himself talks of his own anointing of the Spirit. While studying this passage, I realized that the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of Christ was deeper than what I expected and thus modified slightly the content of this paper. I have come to the conclusion that to understand Christ's reliance on the Holy Spirit, one must first have an enhanced knowledge and understanding of the triune Godhead, their separate persons and works. Needless to say, neither I nor any other finite mind could ever fathom all the things pertaining to the tri-unity (or trinity); nevertheless the things that God has revealed in his word are sufficient to acquire a better picture of the cooperation of the trinity in the work of Christ during the period of his humiliation (and more specifically between Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit ). It will also be very helpful in finding meaning for the believer in the example of our Lord."

Moltmann's Trinity, 2002.
An analysis of the author's thesis on theology.

Abstract
This paper presents Jurgen Moltmann's thesis on theology. It explores his view of the Trinity and where God fits in, as well as the relationship between Christ and the Holy Spirit in the Blessed Trinity.
From the Paper
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. This invocation, accompanying the sign of the cross, marks the beginning and end of every Roman Catholic prayer. It has become synonymous with Catholicism'a celebration of the crucifix as representative of the Blessed Trinity. While every good Catholic takes this Triumvirate for granted, it is left to theological scholars like J?rgen Moltmann to dissect and analyze the salient features of the Trinity. Is the Trinity a Pneumatological or Christological entity? Is it a combination of the two? Where is God in the scheme of Moltmann?s thesis? The theoditic question challenged the omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience of God in his relationship with man. Is this question revisited in relation to Jesus Christ as the carrier of the Holy Spirit during his life on earth? Moltmann presents a clear interpretation of the relationship between Christ and the Holy Spirit in the Blessed Trinity in the chapter: ?Trinitarian Experience of the Spirit? from his book, ?The Spirit of Life.? (Moltmann, 1992)
Moltmann?s thesis is to crystallize the two schools of thought: 1. Christology?God the Father is at the head; the Holy Spirit flows from God to the Son. The father loves the world through the son and he can only do this through the spirit. Christology marks the life of Christ on Earth from a historical/faith perspective. 2. Pneumatology?God the Father sends the Son to save mankind. The son breathes the Spirit into the disciples. The Spirit rises from Christ at the time of the resurrection. The Holy Spirit becomes the origins of evangelicalism. This marks the beginning of the spread of Christianity?eschatology (Vos, 1912). That Moltmann attempts to establish the role of Christ, the Spirit and the Trinity from the New Testament (where no explicit reference to the Trinity is made) is testament to his theological and philosophical abilities."

"The Holy Trinity" and "The Annunciation", 2004.
Comparison of the style of two religious works of art.

Abstract
This paper compares the style, subject matter, and treatment of two 15th-century art pieces, "The Holy Trinity" and "The Annunciation". It looks at the style of art that was popular at the time the objects were painted, the similarities and the differences in the artworks, and the concept of time present in both works.
From the Paper
"But a look inside the central panel reveals that although the figures are supposed to be the historic Mary and the angel, the clothing, furniture, pottery, windowpanes, fireplace?all these are of the period in which the painting was created. That suggests that the apparently 15th century figures in the left panel are as historical as Mary and the angel, and the artist has simply chosen to portray them all in ?current time? with current props. Still, the possibility that the artist was playing with time while presenting a miraculous event is seductive, and cannot be ruled out. After all, it was the age of alchemy, and many believed in things far stranger than that a 15th century priest could be ?viewing? an event that happened 9 months BC."

Unholy Bed Fellows, 2005.
A look at how religion affects our contemporary secular society.

Abstract
The following paper examines how a study of religion can also serve invaluably as a tool for understanding a society. Among other things, the paper explores how religion can compel an individual to ask questions of contemporary society, understand why certain social and institutional phenomena exist, and how the present-day law is informed by historic religious sensibilities. The paper suggests that a firm grasp of religion is necessary to having a firm grasp of current society.
From the Paper
"In our present-day society, the idea that religion may very well serve to inform us about the world around us is one that is met with skepticism in some quarters and laughter in others. Nonetheless, a case can certainly be made that the study of religion today is vital to gaining an insight into what our world is now - and may be in the future. To begin with, it may be said that religion and the study of religious tenets provides - or should provide - a moral lens through which to view the world. For the noted Thai Buddhist speaker and writer, Sulak Sivaraksa, religion is not only a personal matter or "private conversation" but a means by which concerned citizens can work against injustice, exemplify liberation and freedom and transform societies (Baumann 2005 para.4).

From the Paper
"A present Fellow of Trinity once observed that the architecture of the College reminded him of the music of Handel. One sees this at once .. the beautiful West Front, the porticos of Sir William Chambers in the Front Square, the gracious lines of classical architecture (Maxwell, 1956, p. 1).
Professor Constantia Maxwell, professor at and historian of Trinity College Dublin, chose to begin her history of the College with a reference to its stately architecture, with its eighteenth.century neoclassical restraint, which she goes on to contrast to the turbulent late sixteenth century, in which the College was founded.
Indeed, the architecture of the College is what first and most directly impresses the visitor. Its academic tradition is ..."

From the Paper
"The eighteenth century was the formative period in the history of Trinity College Dublin: it was in this period of strong leadership that Trinity College took on its character as well as its outward appearance. In the following pages we examine the academic standing and culture of Trinity College in the eighteenth century, especially in comparison and contrast to the condition of other universities in the British Isles at that time, particularly Oxford and Cambridge.
The visitor to Trinity College Dublin (also called the University of Dublin) enters a space which, more perhaps than any other great university in the British Isles, embodies what Americans would imagine a great and ancient university to look like. Trinity College forms a distinct campus, organized around a system of open quadrangles. The plan, and the stately ..."

"Trinity Church of Boston: A Richardson Masterpiece
Trinity Church of Copley Square in the Back Bay area of Boston was designed by architect H. H. Richardson and built between the years of 1874 and 1877 (Freeman 21). Richardson had been educated at Harvard, and after the Boston fire, he found that his Harvard connections brought him opportunities for architectural commissions. He had previously designed the New Brattle Square Church (now called First Baptist Church) in which he exercised a Romanesque Revival vocabulary into a personal design mode which was admired and imitated by contemporaries of Richardson (Miller & Morgan 36).
Granite was chosen for the major building material because of its strength. It was quarried from Dedham, Quincy, Westerly, Rhode Island, and the Maine coast (Southworth & Southworth 220)."

Boston Architecture, 2004.
This paper discusses two Boston architecture sites: Trinity Church and the John Hancock skyscraper in Copley Square.
1,305 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that Trinity Church (1876) remains a historical wonder of religion and beauty, but the John Hancock skyscraper is both aesthetically unpleasant and structurally unsound. The author points out that the Trinity Church heralded the signature "Richardsonian Romanesque" style of its celebrated designer, H. H. Richardson, and presented a bold, fresh, new face and feeling for ecclesiastical architecture in America. The paper relates that neighboring the Trinity Church is the modern minimalist John Hancock skyscraper (1976), by far the tallest building in all of Boston, with a facade of blue reflective glass that makes it look like a giant test tube, a bizarre juxtaposition in style and purpose.
From the Paper
"The original Trinity Church in Boston was built by John Indicott in the 1700?s. However, in 1860 the Vestry voted to move the church to a new location. In January of 1872, a 24,800 square foot plot of land was purchased in Boston, having been carefully chosen as the site for the church, and soon after committee meetings began to review architectural plans for the building. Gambrill and Richardson, a firm of H. H. Richardson, was commissioned to design the church. Additional funds were set aside for the building, allowing an additional plot of land to be purchased, adding nearly 15,000 feet to the original plan. The church is surrounded on all sides by streets, not other buildings that would restrict the view of the church. In April of 1873, engineers began driving wooden pilings, most of which were completed from July to September of this year. However, the Vestry became discouraged by the building cost estimates -- ranging from a soaring $355,000 to $640,000 -- and they halted work on the building until Richardson revised his plans, capping off the new estimates around $400,000. In November of 1876, the building was finally complete, and it was paid in full by February of 1877."

The Manhattan Project, 2007.
This paper discusses the Manhattan Project and Trinity Site where the United States tested its first nuclear weapon.
1,461 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper talks about the Manhattan Project that began in 1939, with the goal of planning and designing the world's first nuclear weapon. The paper looks at Trinity Site, located in a remote part of New Mexico, which was selected for testing the bomb. The paper describes the Trinity test and explains that this test in fact put an abrupt end to World War Two, as the successful implosion sparked an enthusiastic attack on two Japanese targets: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The paper contends, however, that with hardly any evidence and only one plutonium test at Trinity, the United States government foolishly launched nuclear weapons at Japan.
From the Paper
"Whether due to a morbid self-satisfaction, naivete, or sheer stupidity, the members of the Manhattan Project reveled with "elation" and "jubilation" at the sight of the mushroom cloud (Department of Energy). The Trinity Site, located in a remote part of New Mexico, was believed to be far enough from the civilian population to guard against fallout, but local ranchers lived only 20 miles away. Official reports indicate that civilians suffered "little external injury," but that their "livestock were not as fortunate, suffering skin burns, bleeding, and loss of hair," (DOE). Stafford Warren, the project's chief medical officer, would later recommend that future tests be conducted within no less than 150 miles from human population and claimed that the Trinity nuclear tests had been near-misses (DOE)."

The "Pieta", 2008.
An analysis of the pyramidal aspects of Michelangelo's "Pieta" and the Christian iconography of the Holy Trinity within it.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 38.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a formal, iconographic and historical analysis of the "Pieta" by Michelangelo. It defines the pyramidal aspects of the sculpture's composition and the Christian iconography of the Holy Trinity. It also looks at the historicity of the piece as it relies on classical and natural stylization that were in line with Michelangelo's humanist perspectives for Mary after Jesus was crucified.
From the Paper
"This aspect of critical commentary is revealed through the objectives of Michelangelo to create a sculpture that would echo the divine nature of Christ, yet with the humanist values of naturalism that he espoused in depiction of human relationships. The divine nature of Christ and Mother reflect the unity of religious vision with Mary sorrowfully looking down on her dead son, yet they are both keenly aware of the significance of the Passion and the Crucifixion. This aspect of the iconography of the sculpture dictates the human suffering involved in Christi's life on earth, yet with the divine serenity of peace on his face with the realization that he has fulfilled his promise to humankind (Hibbard, 1985, p.270). This is the humanist Christian iconography that emulates a divine relationship between mother and son, but not without the deified presence of Christ fulfilling his redemption of sin for humankind by his crucifixion."
