St. Augustine and Marcus Aurelius
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper comparing the two philosophers and their views on the nature of the universe as well as how we should react to others. Both believed that there was only good in the world. St. Augustine's view was that evil was either the absence or perversion of the good that exists. Marcus Aurelius maintained that the universe is a rational one and that any event serves to maintain the universe as being rational. If anyone believed himself to have been wronged, the belief was a flaw with the one taking offense rather than with the one committing the action. No sources listed.

St. Augustine’s Confessions: On Time and Truth
[ send me this paper ]
The first eight books of Augustine’s Confessions relates his life before he finds the truth in God. After accepting God as the foundation for knowledge he begins to seek answers to the questions that seem eternal in themselves: what is time and what is truth? This 5 page paper interprets Augustine’s Confessions as meaning that the mind is the harbinger of time and the conceptualization of time, therefore time and truth may very well both be subjective and eternal in nature. Man’s salvation is predisposed according to the use of time and the interpretation of truth. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

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 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. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
