Humanism's Contribution To The Reformation
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the role of humanistic thought in the Reformation. Many believe 'humanism' to be an arrogance embodied in an attitude that reflects the 1970s attitude of the 'I'm OK, you're OK' ilk. Most of those would be incredulous to learn that humanism, far from being an arrogance of single human worth, was as a movement and attitude of believing that humans could be far more than they had been until the time toward the end of the Dark Ages. We know today that there are factions that agree only on few items aside from the basics of Christianity (i.e., Jesus is God's Son), but today's Christianity is largely based on the humanism that helped drive the Reformation more than 400 years ago.

Comparing Bradstreet And Taylor
[ send me this paper ]
Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor were both poets of the Puritan tradition in New England. The poetry produced by Bradstreet and Taylor is very different, though both contemplate the spiritual aspects of their time. This 5 page paper argues that Bradstreet searches for religious meaning within the context of the physical world as she experienced it, while Taylor depended on the scriptures and his own Calvinist beliefs to provide a more metaphysical view of the spiritual interpretations of life. Both poets were steeped in the Puritan culture but interpreted procreation and birth in very different ways. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
