In conclusion, Balthasar’s work can be used to answer the questions of freedom. Balthasar’s analyzations are significant for theology when it comes to questioning if we surrender ourselves entirely or how we can go up to God if he hasn’t come down to us. I personally do not think that we will ever find out when humanity with its freedom will end being an open question mark.

MARRIAGE & DIVORCE: THE PERSPECTIVES OF CHURCH AND MODERN SOCIETY

What do you perceive marriage to be? For example, do you see marriage as a contract? A gift? A union? Approximately ninety-six percent of all Americans will eventually marry, and of those ninety-six percent about forty percent, will get divorced.[footnoteRef:0] Marriage, in legal terms, is the union of a couple of spouses; however, that can mean anything. The legal name does not go in depth about what marriage is: whether there are love and commitment between two people, just companionship and physical needs, or all of those

Discuss how some aspects of Christian anthropology could serve as the foundation for a moral life
The development of humankind from a Christian perspective is grounded in the idea that humans are made in the image and likeness of God. Christian anthropology strives to provide explanations for human behaviour through a religious understanding. Christian anthropology transcends other anthropological divisions as it is descriptive, but additionally it is prescriptive in applying theological concepts to human life. Theology, being the study of the nature of God and religious beliefs, connects with anthropology, the development of humankind, to explore the foundations explicit to living a

After the Holocaust, many different revisionists, who are historians labeled as so after they criticised the Pope. People who support the Pope are saying that these so-called revisionists are out of their realm. The claims that started this battle are all about the controversy of the Pope’s role in saving Jews in World War II. These two groups have been going at it for over 75 years. However, there have been many estimates that the Pope actually saved many more people than even Schindler. However, the estimates vary greatly. These revisionists are inspired by the play “The Vicar” by Rolf Hochhuth. The play makes many accusations towards the Pope, and many historians say that these are untrue

The Dark and Divine
In the Anatomy of the Sacred by James C. Livingston, Livingston states that sacred power is the ultimate object of religion, and can be present in nature in any object, person or spiritual being when it is approached in awe, fear or joy or perceived as the source of purity or danger[footnoteRef:1]. A person withholding this sacred power would be religiously seen as a deity or divine being. Throughout the Harry Potter series, JK Rowling establishes Voldemort as a sort of deity. This is shown through the Death Eaters treatment of Voldemort as a divine figure, by kissing his robes, and begging for mercy for the sins of faithlessness and apostasy[footnoteRef:2]. Rowling

Jesus on Leadership
I will be writing my personal insights about Jesus' leadership through this book. I will use the seven principles of Gene Wilkes in his book called "Jesus on Leadership. There is greatly to applaud in Wilkes re-examination of “Jesus on leadership.” The refocusing on Christian leadership as essential service seeks to obtain the heart of Jesus’ message and example as the Suffering Servant. Wilkes presses the key aspects of Jesus’ leadership style in seven principles: one is "Humble Your Heart," two "First Be a Follower," three "Find Greatness in Service," four "Take Risks," five "Take up the Towel," six

The Importance and Unimportance of the German Reformation in Mission Work of the European Church
Reformation started in 16th century in response to the doctrines and practices taught by the medieval Roman Catholic church (Shelley, 2013, p.247). According to Shelley (2013, p.250), the tradition of the church and its doctrine of salvation permitted a structure of indulgences to evolve. Derived from the idea that Jesus and the saints had made a storehouse of righteousness that can be apportioned with Christians, initially indulgence was used as a sanction by the church in the society (Shelley, 2015, p.251). However, over time the advantages of the indulgence were extended to involve

The Christian issue of whether salvation is exclusive only to people who have heard the Bible or exposed to the Christian community has been viewed differently by Catholics and Evangelicals. Catholics tend to have a more tolerant perspective while still holding on to the importance of Christian teachings while Evangelicals carry a more exclusivist or doubtful view.The Vatican II series of Catholic bishop meetings in the 1960s established what would be the obtaining position of the Roman Catholic Church towards other religions. Variously termed as the theology of inclusivism or fulfillment, this Catholic position affirms the validity of the other religions based on the rays of truth and

This suggestion is very well endorsed by Paul Enns when he says that, “The Edenic Covenant or Covenant of Works can be found in the opening chapters of Genesis where God makes some conditional promises to Adam. The Edenic Covenant is not explicitly called a covenant in Genesis; however, it is later referred to as a covenant in Hosea 6:7, ‘But like Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with Me’ (ESV).”[footnoteRef:2] [2: The Moody Handbook of Theology by Paul Enns. ]

I believe in a strong sense of community, thisprevents the need for government to intercede in taking care of individuals. Also veryimportant in my theology is a strong belief in the laws of capitalism. The laize' faire outlookon the economy is very important because it lets the individual determine not only their ownfate but also that capitalism allows the individual or a community to change theirenvironment around them.

theology depended on the belief of ultimate human goodness and was dealt a mortal blow with the coming of the First World War. Also, there is too much biblical evidence supporting the eschatological dimension of Jesus' teachings to allow it to be eliminated.
Jesus instruction to 'love your neighbour' and 'love your God' perhaps tells us that the Kingdom is not a political state but the experience of God's love and compassion about us in our daily lives. Furthermore, it is in embracing these two greatest commandments that we bring about this kingdom. They are a fundamental condition necessary if the Kingdom of God is to be delivered.

We then have the Holy Spirit, in every way, advanced both Peter and Pauls's ministries, which more advanced the gospel of Jesus Christ. Everything that was accomplished by both Paul and Peter, had only been accomplished because they were under the direction of the Holy Spirit.

This week’s readings focused on the beginnings of bioethics and its early role in society
through the descriptions of Jonsen, Engelhardt, and Garrett. In Jonsen’s text, The Birth of
Bioethics, he explains how many individuals were concerned with the old tradition of medical
ethics; it was believed to be too frail in regards to matching up with the ethical challenges
presented by the new sciences and technologies. Similarities in Engelhardt's text, Foundations of
Christian Bioethics, describe how reflections on medicine became the focus of whole works and
began to continue a subdiscipline of moral theology. The sense of moral probity was involved in

simply wrong and there are consequences that follow after. Although this Kantian 6
statement is quite general, it is highly applicable to many cases no matter how specific
they are. For instance, for both voluntary (with consent) and involuntary (without
consent) euthanasia, Kant’s moral law remains relevant in such a way that even though
a suffering patient agrees to the terms of their own euthanasia, Kant’s statement about
the moral law involving the value of human life seems to disregard respecting the
decision of the patient. In a more profound philosophical perspective, these procedural
