Frasier
In the town of Durham lived a young man by the name of Frasier. Frasier was a devout Anglican minister, who had observed six out of the seven sacraments. Being a diligent young priest, he could not be impetuous about observing his last sacrament. His last sacrament of course was the sacrament of Holy Matrimony, which he intended to very earnest about finding a godly woman, for it is God’s blessing that a young man like Frasier should leave his father and mother to cling to his wife and the two should become one flesh.
Since Frasier was such a respectable young minister, his character and charm ravished the hearts of the local females. Therefore, he was always being bombarded by flirtatious female members in his congregation. Frasier perceived

When the news reached Frasier, he decided to throw a special church function for the newest member of their community. On the day of the function Frasier prayed vigorously that the new primary grammar teacher would instruct the young pupil’s with the highest standard of Christian ethics and morals. At 7:00pm the function began, all of the church members welcomed Miss. Fairfax in to their church and into their community. Miss Fairfax, was a dignified young lady with the most refined manners that Frasier had ever observed. He knew that his prayers about her instructing the young pupils in Christian ethics were answered. The two discussed everything from the national economy to the topic of Biblical inerrancy, until it was time to call it a night, and then they went on their separate ways. Over the next month Frasier was impressed that the local children’s beavour had improved, and he attributed their character development to Miss Fairfax. His opinion on Miss Fairfax was definitely one of high regard, and he started to feel affection towards her. Noting that he felt rather fond of her, he daringly asked Miss Fairfax to take a walk with him around the park. She accepted the offer, and the two had a most pleasant stroll around the parks vicinity. Activities such as this went on between the two for six months, and during that time Frasier

    "Oh, how fascinating it was! How she enjoyed it! How she loved sitting there, watching it all!" It is obvious how much pleasure Miss Brill receives from such a humble activity. She has a habit of eavesdropping on other people’s lives and “listening as though she didn’t listen” which gives the impression that this activity helps her cope with being lonely and helps her leave “the little dark room” that she lives in. Miss Brill takes the time to notice every individual around her and hopes that others notice…

    In his first reasoning for his marriage proposal, he states that one of his reasons for marrying is: “that it is right for every clergyman”. This suggests that he feels it’s his duty as a clergyman to be married. In addition, another strong reasoning Mr. Collins has for his proposal to marry his cousin is that he feels that she will impress his patroness: “… my fair cousin… You will find her manners beyond anything I can describe…” Mr. Collins suggests that his patroness, in which provides him with financial support will be impressed by his cousin, which in itself is flattering to his cousin because of the fact that she is able to impress a “very noble lady”. Although there are strengths to Mr. Collin’s marriage proposal, weaknesses are present as well. It is important to note that Mr. Collin’s almost entirely appeals to his…

    C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters offers many interesting and sometimes controversial theological views on a diverse number of topics. While most all of the topics are of at least some interest, certain topics are of particularly greater interest, prompting the reader to question Lewis’s theories and consider the views offered by the world, the bible, and in some cases, science. When the inquiring mind probes these different fields, they will find that they differ almost religiously, often to the point of being complete opposites. However, the Christian reader finds truth only in one of these sources, that being the bible, the very word of God. Therefore to find whether author C.S. Lewis’s theological views are sound and to be trusted, or to scoff at, Christian readers will turn to the word of God for answers. After doing so, the reader will find that C.S. Lewis gives great insight and clarity on the theological issues of purity, love, and marriage. C.S. Lewis talks about these three closely related topics in The Screwtape Letters mainly over the span of three letters. In a way he works in a backwards fashion through these topics, starting first with marriage, then leading on to love, and ending the three linked topics with purity. The human life from teenager to adult often follows a pattern of first struggling with sexual purity, eventually falling in love, and then possibly resulting in marriage; thus this is the route this essay will follow. Unfortunately, the proof for Lewis’s soundness in his statements lies scattered across many different verses, chapters, and books of the bible. Luckily for the reader, however, these proofs have been compiled in this (hopefully) clear cut essay.…

Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking. When he got to school it looked the same on the outside that it always had. Rufus pushed open the doors at Searingtown School and yelled “I’m back!” All of his friends ran over to hug him. He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways. Allison who used to have a big crush on Rufus sat right next to him. Mitchell and Charlie sat across from him and Christina, Alisha and Sammy sat around them. When the bell rang he went to his locker and when he got to class he looked out the window and saw the same car that followed him to school. The only person he thought of was Simon.

    Hulga Hopewell's Deception

    Hopewell loved what she referred to as good country people; she thought they were the salt of the earth. That is why she allowed Mr. and Mrs. Freeman and their two daughters to live in their tenant house, even though Mrs. Freeman was a very nosey neighbor. So when a polite, young country gentleman named Manley Pointer came by one day selling bibles, she could never have known that he was in fact the scum of the earth. He took an instant interest in Hulga and quickly accepted the invite to stay for dinner. At dinner Manley did what he was expected to do, which was to talk about the lord, his church, himself, and also of a heart condition that was similar to Hulga’s. Mrs. Hopewell was touched by this young man and extended him an invitation to come back any time he wished, which he kindly accepted. As he was leaving, he stopped to talk to Hulga. Their conversation began with a lousy joke about a chicken and he asked her how old she was. Her response was a lie; she claimed she was only seventeen. He then told her that he noticed she had a wooden leg and that he found her very brave and sweet and that they were destined to meet. He also asked her to meet him on Saturday at her gate and go on a picnic with him, to which she…

    A book written to relate the Christian attitude on cultural matters with societies perspective, “A Sneaking Suspicion”. Written by John Dickson, a theological historian from Sydney’s suburbs attempts to contrast cultural experiences - including relationships, sex, meaning - with the Christian view inspired by Jesus death as our substitute. These areas are the major focal points throughout the book and are addressed in three main sections. The first called “Some Sneaking Suspicions” expresses how sex and beauty can be in conjunction with God’s rules and meaning for our life. However, “Some Nagging Doubts”, the second chapter, concludes having addressed many objections one may have with the Christian faith; more popular doubts being suffering and science. In contrast, the third chapter moves into a gospel centred preach where John proclaims “The Guts of it All” presented in the bible. Further, the book culminates with the application: a chance to turn to Jesus as a result of his sacrifice for us. Therefore, we can see that as the book progresses, we see Dickson draw links between societal topics and its impact on one’s life through a Christian frame of mind.…

    The spousal meaning of the body is defined as the ability of the human body, in its masculinity or femininity, to express and realize our call to a communion of persons through self-giving love. Fr. O’Flaherty lives out the spousal meaning of the body by giving himself to the Allied soldiers. The priesthood calls priests to serve the people and to try and live like Jesus did. Fr. O’Flaherty lives out this call in a greater way than most priests would. In his masculinity he is able to take matters into his own hands and protect as many people as possible.…

    A wise man once said that everything is about sex, except for sex, which is about power. This may be perhaps a liberal analogy, but it is true that the inception of modern divorce in John Calvin’s Geneva is grounded in both the Protestant view on human sexuality as well as its sensibilities in maintaining order and authority. Both religious and political authorities saw the value in dissolving unhappy unions, for reasons of procreation as well as a means of maintaining authority. On the one hand, these divorces were groundbreaking in that they allowed for remarriage, but the strict circumstances with which one is allowed to obtain a divorce, as well as unintended prejudices against the lower classes and women, assured that the Calvinist…
