Kant’s new word initiated a way of thinking about beliefs that found wide acceptance in German philosophy and which has become a particularly significant development in evangelical Christianity, especially in the latter part of the twentieth century. The concept has been embraced by evangelicals worldwide and has become the key subject of a variety of evangelical books, conferences, websites, programs, classes, and “mega” church organizations. Nancy Pearcey’s view is that the use of the concept has increased in evangelical circles, and in a wide variety of ways. The wide usage of this word in both academic and popular settings has created a need for clarification as to how this concept is, and should be, perceived and employed. The audience this short essay is meant for would be Christians and people debating their worldview. It does not really attack other worldviews or cultures, but merely boosts up Christianity.

    Christianity is one of the most core human ideas shared throughout history, and is thought to save people. We can see Thorfinn following this path in the story, but the author does not place Christianity as the cornerstone of philosophy, but rather, an important perspective. Thorfinn’s use of Christianity and his connection to Stoicism is compelling, and leads him to be a great man without regret. The Burn Journals argues that such faith is not beneficial to become a peaceful, better person. Brent solves many of his issues through simple reflection, and mocks God at some points.

  • More Than A Carpenter Summary

    McDowell begins the book with an anecdote of his life; a familiar story of the sceptical university Agnostic, ready to fire back a retort at the slightest mention of God, Christianity, and anything (or anyone) within. He recounted the all too common feeling of a meaningless life, the seemingly innate itch of human existence, and how it brought him to various places in his life—until he stumbled upon a particular group of people and was changed forever. This introduction, though short, is crucial to understand, for it sets the stage for the remainder of the book. It tells not only the story of a former non-believer, but the story of everyone—it presents us the life of Jesus Christ, not as a gentle sermon or a feel-good retelling, but as an assertive, rational reply to the accusation: ‘Christianity is a myth, and so is your God.’

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, on July 15, 1838, delivered his acclaimed speech, “The Divinity School Address,” to the graduating class of Harvard Divinity School. Desiring to leave a lasting impact on the students’ beliefs on what religion truly was, Emerson cunningly utilized the opportunity that arose out of addressing an easily influenced graduating class. A fervent transcendentalist who believed in the innate goodness of people, Emerson attempted to convey, in this message, what he believed the essence of true religion was: a divine worship of one’s self, a belief that is in direct opposition with what Christianity encourages: a devoted worship of Christ and a reckoning of one’s carnal self. In “The Divinity School Address”, not only did Emerson
