"We shall be as a City upon a Hill, the eyes of
all people are upon us, " the Puritan John
Winthrop wrote. The Puritans departed for the New
World due to their beliefs that the Church of
England was hopelessly corrupt and no longer stood
for their way of life. They felt that they could
create an ideal Christian society in a New World,

the notion that they were founding the New Israel.

key characteristics. The most prominent
differences include atonement, the identity of

thoughts that separate the two most prevalent
religions in the world. One of the most important

William Blakes writings are a curious mixture, his
voice in the early 1790 s was the conscience of

A surface definition of Transcendental Meditation

for two 20 -minute periods each day. During the
process one repeats a word, known as a mantra , in
such a way that its rhythmic repetition aids the
relaxation effort. The promoters of TM present it

psychological laws. They repeatedly declare that
it is a nonreligious activity in which men of all
faiths may participate with great benefit. After

Dantes hopes were brought to an abrupt end in 1313
with the death of Henry in Siena. One positive
outcome of Dantes exile was that it produced his

completed shortly before his death. The work is

suggests one major theme: the stress on concrete
individual existence and, consequently, on
subjectivity, individual freedom, and choice.
Moral Individualism Most philosophers since Plato

Image Of God Eastern Orthodox

Although Christian art is now seen as a major part
of the Christian religion, during the first three
centuries of the church there was no Christian art
and the church generally resisted it. Clement of
Alexandria criticized religious art by calling it
pagan. In his view, it encouraged people to
worship that which had been created rather than
the Creator (3, 79). But by mid- 3 rd century
pictorial art began to be used and accepted in the
Christian church but not without fervent
opposition in some ...

Gods Grace Eerdmans Publishing

According to Arminianism, salvation is
accomplished through the combined efforts of God
(who takes the initiative) and man (who must
respond) mans response being the determining
factor. God has provided salvation for everyone,
but His provision becomes effective only for those
who, of their own free will, choose to cooperate
with Him and accept His offer of grace. At the
crucial point, mans will plays a decisive role;
thus man, not God, determines who will be
recipients of the gift of salvation....

Specifically, in Purgatorio, Dante expresses his
view of the importance of love, a view that is not
completely homogenous with Catholic doctrine. That
view is that through divine grace, all Christians
can acquire eternal happiness and immortal love
from God regardless of how wicked they lived life,
