God Only Knows

Reverend Ambrose wants to talk to Grant about the importance of saving Jefferson’s soul. There are only three weeks left before the execution and he knows that Grant is the only one Jefferson will listen to. Grant says that he can’t prepare Jefferson for a “better world” after death because he doesn’t believe in it. Reverend Ambrose tells him that although he went to college, Grant is far from educated, he knows little about his own people and doesn’t even really know himself. In this extract taken from

about God. We all know the basic that “God is Love”-1John 4:16 “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” But ‘Love’ is a very abused word in our language and we don’t always have a clear concept of what the ‘Love of God’ really is. ‘Love’ in our culture all to often degenerates into a sentimental feeling of warm teddy-bearishness that tells us nothing accurate about the character of the Great God of the

on the complexity and the deepness of the message underlying the Song of Roland. Focus should thus be given not only to the heroic deeds and characters but also to the message present in between the lines that tell the story.

The only city remaining is the city of Saragossa whose king is Marsilla. In the council as the King engages his men in deciding

Wittgenstein´s position with realism and idealism. In the last two chapters Kerr introduces thoughts on theological topics. First (chapter 7) he deals with Wittgenstein´s thoughts on theological questions (e.g. proofs of gods existence, talking of `god`). In the last chapter he tries to show how Wittgenstein´s ideas can be helpful for most ethical discussions and issues of today (e.g. genetic, mortality). 2) Methodological remark - The second hand experience: Do not misunderstand me but I

wasn’t only admired by the Muslims but by the Christians as well .One of his good behaviour that he used to deliver flowers and booklets to the dwellers of the town on Fridays. The Imam had got a little daughter who was obsessed with her father’s deed. She was usually giving him a hand by packing flowers as fit as the booklets colours… One rainy Friday, the Imam didn’t want to go out to meet people for fear of the storm, yet the girl protested politely: “but if we don’t make it will God forgive

is important here are not the minutiae of the execution, but the manner of Jefferson’s death. Paul is a white deputy who has been one of Jefferson’s jailers. He is the only white man that Jefferson feels has treated him with real respect: “He’s the only one around here who knows how to talk like a human to people.” He is the only white man in the prison who has shown compassion and understanding for Jefferson's visitors.

narrator seems shocked by the situation. U.S. gives an image which isn’t always true: “told a different story” l7. For example, the author talks about the cooperation between the USA and the white regime in South Africa which never existed. The author knows the subject well because he works for an anti-government newspaper in South Africa. Then he talks about the fact that everybody has discovered the true image of the United States during their involvement in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was a cold

At dinner/table, there was laughter, the voices of Uncle Tony who could speak only crying, barking some of Abi, the family golden retriever. Then everyone stood up, children first.
