Harry Emerson Fosdick

Perhaps the most powerful, fluent, and forceful paper promoting liberal Christianity is indeed Harry Emerson Fosdick's 1922 sermon “Shall the Fundamentalists Win?”. Fosdick seemed as if he was a very captivating human being in history during his time of existence. He wrote one of the most engaging papers that I have yet to read thus this far.

In When Blood and Bones Cry Out: Journeys through the soundscape of healing and reconciliation (2010), John Paul Lederach, together with his daughter Angela Jill, study the use of metaphors from sound to foster new pathways of conflict transformation and healing. They ask the question “how do people express and then heal from violations that so destroy the essence of innocence, decency and life itself that the very experience penetrates beyond comprehension and words?” (2010, p. 17). In the Lederach’s

Giving Away Gold Born in Czechoslovakia to a humble family, Emil Zatopek went on to be named the “Greatest Runner of All Time” by Runners World Magazine. He was inducted into the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) Hall of Fame, received the Pierre de Coubertin medal, and set numerous Olympic records. These achievements are grand, but to me, it is Emil Zatopek’s character that truly deserves a medal. Those with admirable character stand up for what they know is right. Since

While being a children’s book Alger still creates one-dimensional characters to in a skillful way to help guide his young readers into seeing all the qualities he believes are good in Dick. Specifically, Alger utilizes Johnny Nolan, Frank, and Henry Fosdick to suggest the traits that are harmful and necessary for Dick’s path to “successful” adulthood, but fails to accurately depict the reality of the world. Alger introduces Frank and Johnny Nolan into the story to imply the attributes he believes would

Heredity within East of Eden Harry Emerson Fosdick, an American clergyman, once said,“life consists not simply in what heredity and environment do to us but in what we make out of what they do to us,” (Fosdick). The impact heredity has on an individual will shape his or her actions and personality. In East of Eden, the author, John Steinbeck, brilliantly portrays the idea that heredity doesn’t allow a person to choose his or her own path through two families: the Hamiltons and the Trasks.

Martin Luther sought equality for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and victims of injustice. What led to King becoming a hero is unknown to many people.

Why do we need another Great awakening? When I think of an Awakening, even after our class, my mind immediately goes to images of eighteenth century revivalists like Jonathan Edwards, George Whitfield, Jereena Lee and a large constellation of other preaching giants of yesteryear. These men and women created a legacy of spiritual fervor which has earned them a place in the annals of American religious history. Their effectiveness as preachers of the word and proclaimers of truth permeated a nation’s
