Atheist Delusions gives an analysis of history with the revolutionary power of Jesus Christ at the forefront. David Bentley Hart tells the story of how the early church was formed after late antiquity. He argues that radicalness of the Gospels was the key to liberation and how secular society has formed around that liberation. The development of Christianity, was the largest political, social, spiritual, and material revolution of Western civilization. It has played such a crucial role in the way our society operations, and in which our ethics are built.

When you think “Christian Worldview,” what comes to mind? I know I automatically think; God, Jesus, Christians, and Prayer. As I have learned through my Christian Worldview class, I have learned that there is a lot more to it and this paper will provide you with what I have learned. Throughout this assignment, I will explain about God, Humanity, Jesus, restoration, my analysis of the Christian Faith, and my reflection.

From when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 380 A.D. to the postmodern age, the Christian Church had varying degrees of control on Western society as an authoritative figure, dictating moral decisions and controlling mass culture. This cultural super-influence, of course, bleed into literature, music and film as well as everyday life. With the decline of believers, Jesus’ contribution to American culture has surely not shaken. The

In our book “American Jesus” by Stephen Prothero, the chairman of the religious department at Boston University, has published an engaging book that explains how the Son of God “Jesus Christ” became the nation’s most known and forming celebrity figure. While the United States of America was founded on religious freedom, Prothero explains to us that America has more active Christians than any other nation in history. And while this nation has been somewhat of a hedonistic society, Americans are more interested in the figure of Jesus than their Puritan forefathers, who were, as Prothero writes, "a God-fearing rather than Jesus-loving people." But that’s no surprise; Prothero warns us that Jesus may rule the country, but the people in the country

In a forever evolving universe, it is not uncommon for human beings to experience apprehension when it comes to the idea of change. While some are passionately working towards the future, others are struggling to grasp onto the remnants of the past. New generations are being born and with every new generation comes an increasingly advanced perspective of the world. Traditional ideals and ways of life are continuously expanding and becoming something that may be unrecognizable to some and unheard of to others. With this being said, however, there is one thing that will never be completely new: the concept of religion.

Norris and Speers’ journey sent them out around the US in search for five different churches that undoubtedly worship differently but at the same time follow the universal Christian belief of the one true God. The goal of their expedition was to set out to explore the amount of politics that are found in many congregations. Out of these five distinguished churches, Norris and Speers’ focused on analyzing the congregation’s worship tactics, along with their leaders and mission of the church.

Church buildings, musical instruments, ministers’ attire, choir robes, hymns, names of converts, schools and curriculums had Americans’ religious, cultural, and economic trademark. The Christianity that addressed issues of life in the American cultural context was transplanted in different parts of the world. Unlike the transition of the Hebraic-Christianity from the Jewish culture to the Gentile world in the first century, which developed its own unique theological, cultural, and leadership identity in a short period of time, the phenomenal growth of Christianity in the majority world has been largely influenced by the dominance of American Christianity. As the result, we have Christian faith that is not well anchored on local theology. And to most of the churches in the majority world, up until recently,

I really like the fact that he authors analyze both sides of this argument.  While they do express their opinions, they are not too heavily trying to persuade the

In the World State, technology is given a degree of devotion previously only used for religion. Instead of measuring time in years after Jesus’s birth, time is measured in years A.F. (or years since the invention of the Model T). The image of the cross is replaced with the capital T, which also symbolizes the Model T. In the same way that people used to put unquestioning faith in God or religion, the new World State society puts unquestioning faith in technological progress. This creates a cult based on the material world and pleasure that is the very antithesis of Christianity’s focus on the supernatural and otherworldly paradise. This creates a clear contrast between the ideas of modernity and those of Christianity. In Christianity, the highest, possible values all have to deal with achieving heaven and life everlasting on a spiritual level, and Christianity greatly downplays material or worldly comfort. On the other hand, the Soma addicted, technology-worshipping members of the world state are directly engaging in blasphemy, by worshiping the false (material) God of technology.

The author's main purpose for writing A Myth of a Christian Nation is to explain how the world has claimed to be founded on christian principles but has neglected to see that this is a lie that we as christians and people in society have told ourselves to make it seem like we are “ one nation under God”. Boyd also focuses in on and introducing our role in the kingdom of God vs the kingdom of the world and our role in politics and society.

Don DeLillo’s novel White Noise explores the relativity of religion in the modern world by conceiving a world in which “religion” is entirely changed. Traditional aspects of religion, specifically Christianity, are rarely, if at all, present in this novel. Does DeLillo believe that religion is relativity in our modern society? Or is he pushing the boundaries by creating a distorted reality in which American culture is the primary religion? This question is initially exemplified in White Noise when it states: “It’s not what I believe that counts. It’s what you believe” (318). This paper will analyze White Noise’s introduction and examination into religion; in an attempt uncover an answer to the question, is American culture the only relative

Every person is diverse in many ways. It is through their thoughts, encounters, life experiences that make people who they are today. Health care professionals are impacted everyday with their psychosocial factors that they are aware of and unaware of.” Some may believe that considering psychosocial factors is impractical because of time constraints (Falvo, Pg 82). There are health care professionals that ignore or try avoiding patient’s psychosocial factors because of feelings of being overwhelmed or incompetent because they don’t know how to handle the issue at hand. An example would be a doctor prescribing medication to a patient who does not believe in
