The main difference between the three great world
religions of today, Judaism, Christianity, and

Jesus Christ Truth Beauty

Throughout this class I have developed a solid
understanding of the philosophies of great ancient
philosophers such as Parmenides, Aristotle, Plato.
However the philosopher I find myself agreeing
with most is Socrates. Although there are some
distinct differences in what I believe to be the
ultimate meaning behind life, which I will later
address, I believe his thoughts on how one should
live their life to be the wisest of any
philosopher we have studied. First, let me relate
what I understand S...

Final Paper (1) Friedrich Nietzsche is being
rightly referred to as one of the most progressive
philosophers of 19 th century. He was the first

of this word. Therefore, we can say that his
intellectual contribution to cultural and
scientific progress, with which we associate 20 th
century, was indispensable. It will not be an
exaggeration to suggest t...

The Righteousness Of God In Paul Theology
2,356 words
The Righteousness of God in Paul's Theology The
question is, of course, how does the Christian
obtain this righteousness? Indeed, what exactly is
"righteousness?" When Luther defines the
"righteousness of God" as that by which He makes
us righteous, his words have a strongly "Catholic"
ring. And a good Protestant will feel a little
anxious when Luther speaks of a "preparation" for
righteousness, sometimes in connection with his
idea of "humility" (which he seems to regard as,
at any rate in part...

Since religions such as Buddhism and Christianity

they have anything to say to each other? Thirty
years ago, before I began the study of Zen, I
