    American culture seems to be enraptured with immigration and the value of the immigrant in the life of society. Immigrants have, since the beginning of our nation, the power to transform the face of our society. In the same way, the church when it radically lives out the Gospel as embodied in the life of Jesus can not only transform American culture, but change the whole world. This potential impact of a faithful church in the world is why Stanley Hauerwas and William Willimon write Resident Aliens as a critique of modern culture and ministry while providing a call the church to live as an alternative community. Hauerwas and Willimon provide a vision for the restoration of the church as a vibrant community standing firmly in the faith through…

    The story of the emergence and overwhelming manifestation of African American Religion is rooted in the memoirs of the enslaved. Religion aided in innumerable pivotal roles in the progression and acceptance of American people and the African American church. Christianity, astoundingly, became the focal point of African American culture, despite the awareness that their oppressors had previously used the same doctrines of Christianity against them to justify 300+ years of slavery, genocide, and rape. The elucidation of why Christianity was so successful is beyond what any one book could bother to grasps. Albert Raboteau’s Canaan Land valiantly takes the charge to convey the often neglected narrative of the African American religious experience and it’s awe-inspiring capacity to instill meaning, hope, and dignity within a people(x).…

    In “Canaanites, Cowboys, and Indians”, Robert Warrior primarily explains the biblical story of the Exodus and how it should not be used as a liberating text in general, but especially why it is inappropriate in the case of the Native Americans. Warriors starts off by saying that Christians try to fight for the rights of Native Americans and that because of the church’s prosperous financial, political, and institutional resources, this help is much needed. Nevertheless, Warrior then explains that the inclusion of Native Americans in Christian political praxis is difficult mainly because Christians have a different way of going about the struggle for justice than most Native Americans, and they refuse the idea that Indians might know best how…

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…
