A Century of Religious Evolution among Native Americans
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing how the issue of religion among Native Americans has come full circle in the past century. The federal government officially banned some tribes' most sacred religious rites - the potlatch of the Cree was subversive because it redistributed wealth among members - forbade the use of native languages and removed entire tribes from their ancestral lands. White missionaries were certain that the "savages" had to be civilized before they could be evangelized, and did not take the time to realize how similar native religion and Christianity were. Some groups are returning to the traditional ways; others are blending tradition with Christianity; still others persecute the Christians in their midst in retribution for the centuries of persecution at the hands of Christians.

A Comparison of the Religions and Covenants of Abraham and Moses
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper comparing and contrasting the religions of Abraham and Moses. The religions of Abraham and Moses have several overlapping components while at the same time they are vastly different in their complexity and basis. Abraham’s religion and his covenant with God consisted of three basic promises: land, offspring and blessings. Abraham moved his family to Canaan and there began a prosperous life on the fertile land. Thus fulfilling the contract, he was blessed with many descendents. The next four hundred years saw a great deal of difficulty for the children of Israel however. Because they prospered in Egypt, they were made slaves. Moses freed them and made his way to the land of Abraham and on the journey received his covenant with God. The religion of Moses based on the covenant was much more complex than the three basic concepts of the religion of Abraham. The religion of Moses included many conditions known as the Ten Commandments and the Israelites did not readily accept these new conditions. Because they were returning to the land of Abraham however, Moses and the covenant was to clarify for the Israelites what was to be needed to be considered children of God. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

A Comparison of the Religious Sentiments Found in Akhenaten’s “Hymn to the Sun” and “Psalm 104” of the Hebrew Bible
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper comparing the religious sentiments found in the “Hymn to the Sun” and “Psalm 104”. The Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten (c. 1370 BC) is believed to have greatly changed the religious worship of the Egyptians. In his hymn to the Sun god, “Hymn to the Sun” or “Hymn to Aten”, Akhenaten wrote of the worship of one God, not many, his creation of the universe, the world, darkness and light, the elements of nature and man’s place on earth. This hymn and its religious sentiment was said to have influenced the early Hebrew writings which can be seen in Psalm 104 in the Hebrew Bible. Moses, similar to Akhenaten, prohibited the worship of images by the Hebrews and instead concentrated on the praise of the one God, Yahweh. Psalm 104, using similar language and sentiment, also outlines the one God which created the universe, the world, darkness and light, all the natural elements and man’s place on earth.

A Summary of “When Bad Things Happen to Good People” by Harold S. Kushner
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper summarizing Harold Kushner’s “When Bad Things Happen to Good People” (1981). Harold Kushner’s “When Bad Things Happen to Good People” (1981) tells of Kushner’s own emotional and spiritual journey back to the belief of God after the death of his three year old son. Kushner, a Rabbi, tried to make sense of many of the traditional arguments of God’s existence and the reasons for some of the tragic events of the modern world. Overall, Kushner provides a usable argument for God as his idea rests on the fact that although God is not all powerful, He is a God of love. In addition, his argument also presents a case on the aspects of natural law in which moments of chaos create disasters which do not discriminate based on morality. While the reader may or may not agree with Kushner on the aspects of God’s power, the reader may find Kushner’s suggestions on how to deal with people who are dealing with grief and pain, as Kushner himself has experienced it first hand.
