...teachings of God in their day to day lives. The saints are our models of holiness and virtues into our lives as a pilgrim in this world. They inspire us and we also asked their intercessions in order to strengthen our faith and love to God. In order to follow Christ let us imitate the virtues that we can get from the life stories of the saints who are the living witness of God’s goodness and love. In this paper, I chose St. Ambrose as the subject of this research. Because when I read his short life story in the book entitled My first Book of Saints by Son of Immaculate Heart of Mary. I was fascinated on his life story on how he lives and serve his life as the Bishop of Milan. St. Ambrose was largely responsible for the rise of Christianity in the West, and he was very courageous and untiring defender of the independence of the Church from the state. Through this research, I want to know more about him his way of life and his importance in the early History of the Church. Most of the ideas of this research paper are extracted from the books about his life and teachings. 1. Life of St. Ambrose In this part of the paper, we will go to the life story of St. Ambrose his early life, his life before his election to the episcopacy, how he was elected...

...RESEARCH PAPER 2 THE PAPACY Jonathan Waters February 18, 2013 CHHI 301-B12 During the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the Bishop of Rome became a very influential and powerful figure in the church. Many different men held this position and were very successful. Although many of the effects of the papacy were positive, the overwhelming power they held, combined with the age of obscurantism, superstition, and credulity in which they lived, allowed many false claims and doctrines to come about. Some of these doctrines are still existence today. They have caused many dissentions throughout the centuries following the rise of the Papacy. The historical beginnings of the Papacy are somewhat hard to uncover. Due to the decline in power of the Western Emperor, the Bishop of Rome, or Pope, became the primary political leader of Italy. The word “pope” is derived from the term pappa, which originated in the ancient colloquial Greek as an endearing term for “father.” It was a common title applied to most of the Eastern clergy. However, in the West the term was only common in Rome and in the later eleventh century was made the official title for the Bishop of Rome by Gregory VII. The term “papacy” (papatus), meant to distinguish the Roman bishop’s office from all other bishoprics (episcopates), also originated in the later eleventh century. However, this position was more than just a political position. The papacy was a unique sort of monarchy in that it claimed jurisdiction...

...Jack Cobain Prof. Leanne MacDonald Multimedia Writing & Rhetoric 13300 11/11/2013 Reforming the NCAA In recent times a litany of scandals has brought the corruption of college sports to the forefront of the national discussion. Fans and media commentators express outrage each time it is discovered that a college athlete has been receiving under-the-table payments. These scandals disguise the larger issue however. The true injustice is not that some athletes are being paid but rather that more are not (Branch). Varsity athletics have evolved immensely since their inception in 1869 as a toughening agent to prepare American men for a new era of Darwinian struggle (Branch). College sports have become a lucrative industry, built on a free labor source unavailable in any other business (Palutsis). Yet despite the billions of dollars college athletes generate for their universities, they earn nothing for themselves. The restrictions placed on athletes by the NCAA not only prohibit the payment of a stipend to help cover the cost of attendance but they also prevent student-athletes from marketing themselves, cutting them off from potentially lucrative opportunities. A large proportion of these student-athletes come from low-income families who can barely afford to keep them in school even with the help of an athletic scholarship and to cut these people off from this potential source of income is cruel and unfair. While the NCAA’s commitment to amateurism sounds noble, in reality...

...Exploitation Imagine waking up every morning at the break of dawn only to be greeted by a day packed with laborious studies, excruciating weight training and tiresome athletic practices and after all of it is over going home to house full of unpaid bills and a refrigerator that is empty. For many college athletes today this is a very real scenario. Student athletes from colleges across the country dedicate their whole lives to a sport and receive no compensation from the NCAA for their hard work. The NCAA, or the National Collegiate Athletic Association, regulates and controls all activity that has to do with collegiate sports. The NCAA is also responsible for resolving all complications in collegiate sports but is often ridiculed by many for neglecting the issue of paying college athletes. While some do believe that athletes are already compensated enough, others agree that these athletes deserve payment. This topic has sparked debate throughout the country and that is why currently the NCAA is working hard to find a solution. There are many reasons that student athletes should be paid, including: the NCAA and the rest of college sports is a multi billion-dollar industry, student athletes have no time for work to support their very active lifestyle, there is high injury risk that comes with playing competitive sports, and finally the added incentive for athletes to stay in school and the overall competiveness would rise making the collegiate athletics more enjoyable. First...

...Although born into an Anglican family, Newton held beliefs that, had it been made public, would not have been considered orthodox by mainstream Christianity; in recent times he has been described as a heretic . The main root of his unorthodoxy lay in his private rejection of the Holy Trinity, a doctrine essentially every major church accepted at the time. Newton’s deist antitrinitarian thoughts were not unique, however, and he probably did not develop this opinion on his own. Doctor Stephen D. Snobelen discusses the Socinians (or Polish Brethren) in a few of his historiographical articles. They were a Biblicist, antitrinitarian movement in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who were viewed in Newton’s time as even more radical than the Arians of the early Christian world. The latter simply, but controversially, believed that Jesus Christ was indeed the Son of God, but instead of being equal to Him He was subordinate. Socinians spread their beliefs via printed books and pamphlets that spawned from the printing revolution rooted in Europe, and of course Newton acquired some of this reading material, even referencing them in some of his own personal writing . Historians often use Newton’s General Scholium as evidence to display his antitrinitarianism, as he wrote it in response to some critics to the antitrinitarian movement. But that aside it is probably one of top two works credited to him. Newton in this says that he "recognized Christ as a divine mediator between God and man...

A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season. The precise date of Jesus' birth, which some historians place between 7 and 2 BC, is unknown. By the early-to-mid 4th century, the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25, a date later adopted in the East. The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with the day exactly nine months after early Christians believed Jesus to have been conceived, as well as the date of the southern solstice (i.e., the Roman winter solstice), with a...

...THE THEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF RUDOLF BULTMANN one briefly explain the theological of a man whose diversified writings first book How the present decade? Is it extend fromahissignificance review ina 1908 to possible for short essay to disclose fundamental unity in topics which range from source criticism, the history of religion, literary criticism, classical philology, technical exegesis, Gnostic studies, existential philosophy, and hermeneutics to the Gifford Lectures, the theological essay, popular and literate dialogue about the Church, demythologizing, and the relation of the New Testament to daily life?3 If the theological significance is judged in terms of intellectual climate, moral force, and scholarly style or by the more tangible but subtle influence on several generations of scholars, then the theological significance seems almost as elusive as it is palpable. Fortunately, diversity of form and subject is more apparent than real. The theological atmosphere and problematic shaped by Bultmann may be traced to concepts and procedures available to any critical reader. While it is quite correct to note, as did Hans Jonas on the Feiertag celebrated in honor of Bultmann in Marburg, November 16,1976, that it is impossible to separate the man from his writings, for he lived as he wrote,4 we are not here primarily concerned with Bultmann's personal psychological integrity, striking as it is. It may, however, be accurate to say that this escalating unity of life and work...
