Ann Hutchinson, Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper presents a hypothetical dialog between and among the three persons in the title. For instance, Hutchinson was banished from Massachusetts because of her radical ideas about gender equality. All three were influential in the history of religion in America. The topic is whether or not the church should ordain homosexuals. The essay begins with a brief background of each of the three. The essay then launches into the dialog that might occur. The writer also notes which of the three might be more accepting of the proposal. The reader must suspend logic regarding time periods (for example, Hutchinson was dead before Mather was born) and simply focus on what a discussion among these three luminaries might sound like.

Archbishop Oscar Romero: Overview
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Considered one of the greatest martyrs for the benefit of mankind, Archbishop Oscar Romero ultimately sacrificed his life so that his voice could speak for the less fortunate. Romero knew all along that his very presence epitomized controversy, a reality he understood would one day cost him his life; however, this fact never slowed down his efforts to improve life for the Salvadoran people. All he wanted was for mankind to be more humane, for the fierce warriors of the contemporary global society to abandon their arms in exchange for mutual brotherhood and for people to learn to live with and respect each other. And for these aspirations to which he dedicated his entire being, he ended up paying the highest price. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Blood Sacrifice In The Judeo-Christian Religion
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Can a sin be forgiven? Should it be? Is it the guilt a sinner attempts to rid from himself, or is it a true sense of regret that drives him to seek out forgiveness? Inasmuch as sin is definitive and a proverbial slap in the face of God, how can it be forgiven? In response to mankind's sinning ways, atonement was required in order to escape the wrath of God and regain His favor. Repenting one's sins and abating His anger, which is tempered by love for His people, took its form in blood sacrifices; however, these offerings were not so strict as to require human blood, but rather He was appeased with the presentation of sacrificial animals who gave their life for Man's sinful ways.
