Kingdom Triangle Analysis

1416 Words6 Pages

In Kingdom Triangle, J.P. Moreland brings forth sobering yet very prevalent issues that have arisen within the western world. Moreland brings forth the issues of naturalism, postmodern relativism with the downfall of authentic drama and couples it biblical evidence and truth to chart the way out of the crisis of the modern day and age. These thin world views (worldviews that seem to have value but after investigation will lead to an empty life) are a fuel on the fire that is the empty self and the epidemic that is depression today. Through repairing the mind, soul, and spirits power the current generation can be set on a track that will not lead to an empty-self epidemic. Through thin worldviews, such postmodernism, people will only experience a life that is empty and without meaning, only through a thick world view will people find meaning and real authentic drama in their lives. The postmodern relativist worldview is the most prevalent of worldviews of the current generation. Postmodernism is the rejection of objective truth, objective reason, and objective reality, a reality in which everything is subjective. …show more content…

In doing these things they were always trying to find out how they were intended to serve God, Country, friend, family, and the church. When the universities were originally founded they had one mission that did not vary between every person at the institute. It was originally intended to be a curriculum that was centered on God. They were also founded on the truth that there is a living God, and there are things to be known and discovered outside of the empirical (or hard) sciences (such as physics and

  • Ignorance In Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible

    Ultimately, the human heart seeks comfort and familiarity. The great unknown strips away this feeling of safety, leading to a vulnerability that draws the true nature of a person into the harshness of reality. Unfamiliar environments, newly met strangers, the imminent and all-too-unpredictable future--these things generally incite feelings of insecurity and anxiety; for some, panic accompanies the thought of not having control. Some avoid matters of fear altogether, opting for a life softened with intentional ignorance. It is the fatal tendency of mankind to manipulate their troubles into trivial tasks that can easily be ignored and eventually forgotten, or at the very least, left to the side.

  • The Search For Truth In S. Lewis Mere Christianity

    576 Words  | 3 Pages

    If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair (Lewis, 20). Many students pursue a higher education in the search of comfort: to secure a well-paying occupation that will enable them to live a life of luxury or relative ease. In Mere Christianity, Lewis states that such a shallow perspective on the purpose of education can only lead one into despair. Education is the means by which truth is revealed, by which higher levels of thinking are introduced so that one may further understand the truths the universe has to offer. Lewis implies that, perhaps, truth is the only essential comfort.

  • Identity In Brave New World

    1517 Words  | 7 Pages

    Throughout the novel, hypnopaedia and the use of soma are shown to be the main components to the society’s lack of individual identity. Soma, a drug sponsored by the government, is used by the citizens of the World State in order to suppress any emotions which make them feel somewhat uncomfortable. The use of soma leads to a society which lacks any understanding of real emotion, an important piece to the formation of an identity. While soma by itself is destructive, the effects of hypnopaedia are comparable to a “...liquid sealing wax, drops that adhere, incrust, incorporate themselves with what they fall on, till finally the rock is one scarlet blob” (Huxley 28). Hypnopaedia is a process which is used throughout childhood to result in adults that have the exact views the World Controllers want the citizens of particular castes to have.

    When the answer is yes, we rebel. We risk our lives, our families, and everything. In the novel The Kingdom of This World, the Haitian people are willing to risk everything to gain equal treatment; the torment and destruction they cause is only justified by the terror of their lives as they are. In the film Moolaade, we see the suffering of the Senegalese women; they hold strong to their traditions until the terror of continuing to do so is greater than the risk of their lives and all their status. Both The Kingdom of This World and Moolaade show that when people are brought together by one individual, oppose a current regime, and are willing to risk everything for change, they rebel.
