Summary Of Paul's Speech At Howard University

Taking a deeper look into a story can help a reader see and understand a story better. By looking into a story, the little details stand out about the characters. The reader can understand so much better when reading between the lines. By reading between lines the reader can learn more about the characters in the story and understand them better. Also the setting in the story is more clear and easier to see. When taking a farther look into the story, the conflicts the character face make more sense. Every word an author puts in a story is important. So by knowing the symbols with in the story help the reader understand why it is there. In Willa Cather’s short story, Paul’s Case, allows readers to see the themes more clearly and

Paul was a self-oriented boy, concerned with money, wealth, and glamour, raised in a Calvinist household that supported these ideals. Through my research I have decided that Paul's eventual fate was not any one person's fault. Paul was just as much to blame as his father and teachers for Paul's suicide.

Paul builds a well-constructed argument by using facts, word choice, and appealing to our emotions.

Paul Gillespie was your average high school sophomore. He stood 5' 9" and grew out his hair to look taller. He thought he was the next Michael Jordan. He spent too much money on basketball shoes and he could always be found messing around with Roger, Ben, and Jay.

Within the first three chapters Paul shows the futility of false wisdom and human competitiveness and of attempts to demonstrate Christian freedom by violating the sexual conventions honored even by unbelievers. Other reference stating how too much emphasis was placed on the human reason can distract the simple message that Christ died for people’s sins so that they could be

At first glance, it may be considered difficult to give a feminist interpretation of "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather, because there is not much mention of women in the text. However, this fact alone gives good reason for a feminist reading of the story. The lack of the presence of females in this story supports the idea that women were not considered an important part of society during Willa Cather's lifetime.

I agree that Paul had a very diverse beliefs. I think this helped him connect within the community and ​shared the Gospel easily to people like him (converts). I understand that it's hard to accept how he changed his belief quickly from wanting to destroy Christianity to giving his life to preserve it. He didn't tell the readers how it happened so it's very hard to perceive such thing could happen. But I believe that it's possible because Paul showed how much he loved his converts and even considered them his children. I think the reason why Paul didn't include his story was because he didn't want the readers to divert their attention and focus from Jesus. But don't you think that his actions and relationship towards the religion and the converts

However, though Paul did not know much about rhetoric, he is being judged to the same extent as any Greco-Roman orator. Further, Litfin admits that the split in the church between Paul and Apollos was based on the fact that Paul was unskilled while the latter was an eloquent orator (P.156).

From the subtle quirks and eccentricities in one’s tone of speech, to the sensations of rancor and bitterness that are palpable in a violent outbreak, all human activity is programmed by a complex phenomenon known as the human personality. The case of what constitutes this enigma is one of the many controversies that are analyzed and broken apart in Vincent Parrillo’s chapter, “Causes of Prejudice.” In particular, human temperament is expounded in Parrillo’s passage, and further observed and experimented with in Willa Cather’s short story “Paul’s Case.” Parrillo correlates one’s childhood upbringing and surroundings to the maturation of an authoritarian personality, akin to Paul’s rough development that contributes to his fervent prejudice of the middle class and ultimately, himself.

In Philippians, chapter 3, the Apostle Paul is yet again confronted with a segment of the Christian community that believes in adherence to the Torah and the circumcision of Gentiles (Harris, 2014). Similar to his letter to the Galatians when his was compelled to address this issue, the Apostle Paul sharply denounces the need to adhere to the Torah after Jesus’ sacrificial death. Therefore, in order to establish his credibility to address this issue, he restates his ancestry and history as zealous Jewish Pharisee to highlight his knowledge of the Torah and Jewish religious traditions.

In the history of the United States of America, women have always been treated as lesser than men. Until recently, women have had very few freedoms. Some people still have a “traditional” way of thinking and find it wrong for women to become leaders in the community and especially in the church. Verses in the Bible, when studied thoroughly, have proven that the apostle Paul does not tell women to relinquish their God given gift, but to lead and be an active member of the church body. He even includes many women in his own outreach of his ministry that spread Christianity across the globe. Women are capable of being great leaders, although seen as unconventional and not accepted by many, women are called to make a stand in the church body.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can definitely relate to the feeling of wanting privileges that others have and having to work hard to earn those privileges. I have experienced this more in my adult life than in my childhood, and it was a rude awakening the day I graduated from college and my parents stopped helping me pay for things. I honestly think if they had required me to work harder for the things I had growing up I would have been more prepared for adulthood. I do believe that life can be easier for certain groups of people than it is for others, but I also believe that those who have to work hard for the privileges they have are the winners in the end. Like you quoted, privilege does not always mean good things. Good

Paul wrote the Philippians and the other letters when he was under house arrest in Rome, but scholars argue against that theory of Paul’s exact location where wrote the letters. Traveling almost 800 miles between Rome and Philippi took as long as ten months in the days of the apostles. Some of Pauls friends took four journey’s between his place of incarceration in Rome and Philippi which meant they took four ten month journeys. There was a significant distance between the two cities, and it was almost impossible to travel so frequently to those two cities. However, other arguments state that there are inscriptions in Ephesus for the place he was imprisoned which was only a ten day travel time. Other scholars said he was imprisoned in Caesarea

Paul’s mission and writing was for the sake of guiding God’s people to a life of righteousness. Paul’s opponents, believed, that the law of Moses’, (to be circumcision is the way to salvation) , Paul, taught about the Law of Christ is the way to salvation.

Paul teaches the church in Corinth to avoid sexual immorality because it is a sin against ones’ own body (1 Cor. 6:18). Specifically, Paul refers to sexual immorality with a prostitute and does not refer to other potentially sinful sexual activities such as adultery or premarital sex. Paul says that this is the only sins that a person can commit “against his own body.” What does that mean about gluttony of food or drink which are both against the body. This can then be compared to Luke ---- where a woman serves Christ before anyone else. However, the woman is never explicitly referred to as a prostitute, only as a sinner. The question here: why is she a prostitute sinner as she is so often considered? Could she be sinning in any other manners
