Danforth’s “Errand into the Wilderness” as Jeremiad and Allegory
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper looking at this famous seventeenth-century sermon by Samuel Danforth in terms of its complex function. On the literal level, it functions as a condemnation of the behavior of the lapsed churchgoers of Danforth’s day; on a figurative level, it compares the wilderness of the soul to the wilderness surrounding the Puritan communities, and encouraged them to tame it. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Puritan Jeremiad Sermons
[ send me this paper ]

The Portrayal of Puritans & Indians in Mary Rowlandson's 'Captivity & Restoration' (Also Known As 'The Sovereignty & Goodness of God')

What If… Our Very Beginnings Had Been Reversed?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing how the character and configuration of the American East Coast might have evolved differently had Puritans come ashore at Jamestown and John Smith had settled the Northeast. The ultimate difference visible today could well be that we would exist as two nations rather than one, for it is likely that early industrial growth may have been centered in the South rather than in the North. As it was, Southern settlers had difficulty establishing lasting settlements because of their arrogance with the Indians and the Indians' eventual bloody impatience with them. Northern settlements experienced far greater continuity because of their greater ability to coexist with the native groups residing there before the settlers arrived, allowing those settlements to progress more linearly. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Women As Priests ?
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper on the controversial issue of womens' ordination. The writer is particularly concerned with the impact that mid-1990's statement made by Pope John Paul II had on the topic ('I declare that the church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the church's faithful'). The discussion continues with the views of other clergy, disparate opinions from different sects of the religion, and so forth. It is concluded that if there is truly some religious reason for barring women from the priesthood, it has not been effectively articulated as of yet and thus, women should be ordained--even though this will not be widely-accepted anytime soon. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

A 2.5 page research paper that begins with the interesting premise that the writer has overheard a conversation between a Brahmin priest, a Saiva ascetic and a Saiva tantric practitioner. From there, the definitions of several key terms in the Hindu religion are briefly discussed. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
