Beginnings Of The Reformation
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing events and conditions leading to the beginning of the Reformation and Luther's role in it, along with lasting cultural changes that accompanied the religious ones. Beyond his importance as a religious leader, Luther had a profound effect on Western culture. He is, paradoxically, the last medieval man and the first modern one, a political conservative and a spiritual revolutionary. His impact is most marked, of course, in Germany, where he laid the cultural foundations for what later became a united German nation. Before he translated the Bible from Latin to German, there was no unified German language, but only a series of Germanic dialects. Luther provided that language through his Bible translation. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Paul's Letter to the Romans
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page analysis of the epistle to the Romans contained within the Holy Bible. The writer argue that Paul presents a theological argument that concerns the nature of sin and how God's grace applies to all of humanity, and not just the Jewish people. It would appear that at this time there was still some controversy over whether or not the message of Jesus was meant exclusively for Jews, and whether or not, Gentiles had to convert to Judaism, i.e. be circumcised, in order to become Christian. Other points of the argument are covered as well. No additional sources cited.
