A Question Of Sin And Responsibility: Exploring Innocence In Dante, Cassandra Stephenson
A Question Of Sin And Responsibility: Exploring Innocence In Dante, Cassandra Stephenson
Global Tides
Dante’s use of the word innocent—referring to infants who died soon after birth—presents a unique perspective on the spiritual hierarchy of The Divine Comedy. Though labeled as innocent, Dante’s infants are nonetheless excluded from Paradise. Concurrent mentions of innocence and original sin raise the question of the meaning of Dante’s innocence and its implications on the concepts of true choice, merit, and ignorance. These combined factors determine infants’ placement in Limbo or just below Paradise, and they help further a complete understanding of Dante’s theology and work as a whole.
C.S. Lewis And The Struggle For Existence, Callaghan R. Mcdonough
C.S. Lewis And The Struggle For Existence, Callaghan R. Mcdonough
Global Tides
Man exists upon a continuum of existence and nonexistence. Throughout the works of C.S.

Man is called into a higher existence, but God is not calling us to be Him. God is calling us to be more human, the humanity that He intended.
Against A Process View Of Divine Patience, Luke Asher
Against A Process View Of Divine Patience, Luke Asher
Global Tides
When one chooses to tolerate suffering, waiting calmly without reacting emotively or physically, he is demonstrating the virtue of patience. Process theology claims that the patience of God is more or less identical to the experience of human patience. That is, when we sin and rebel against God, He refrains from smiting us, that we might repent and return to Him. In other words, God demonstrates patience when he restrains Himself temporally from interfering with or punishing mankind, waiting for their repentance. Such an explanation of divine patience may seem intuitive, but the patience of God is much greater, much …

The Purpose Of Life, Callaghan Mcdonough
The Purpose Of Life, Callaghan Mcdonough
Global Tides
In the minds of Plato and Aristotle, happiness is the end goal of life, and the worth of everything else, including goodness, justice, and virtue, is based on whether or not it is beneficial as means to this end. Modern American society, though defining happiness differently, in many ways reflects the Greeks’ idea that happiness is the reason for human life. Supported by the Christian and Hebrew Bible, this essay will attempt to debunk the Greeks’ theory, which will implicitly criticize the modern American pursuit. It will be shown that entities such as goodness, justice, and virtue are desirable in …
