19th Century Jews, Catholics, and Anti-Semitism
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page
report discusses the existence of anti-Semitism in the 19th
century and the differing ways in which Catholicism and Judaism
dealt with it. From the vantage point of the opening days of the
21st century, the issue of anti-Semitism and the ways in which
Jewish people were viewed by most Christian faiths in the 19th
century appears relatively similar. Jews were reviled throughout
Christianity for what “good Christians” defined as a host of
sins, certainly not the least of which was that they were “the
murderers of Christ.” Bibliography lists 7 sources.

A Summary of “When Bad Things Happen to Good People” by Harold S. Kushner
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper summarizing Harold Kushner’s “When Bad Things Happen to Good People” (1981). Harold Kushner’s “When Bad Things Happen to Good People” (1981) tells of Kushner’s own emotional and spiritual journey back to the belief of God after the death of his three year old son. Kushner, a Rabbi, tried to make sense of many of the traditional arguments of God’s existence and the reasons for some of the tragic events of the modern world. Overall, Kushner provides a usable argument for God as his idea rests on the fact that although God is not all powerful, He is a God of love. In addition, his argument also presents a case on the aspects of natural law in which moments of chaos create disasters which do not discriminate based on morality. While the reader may or may not agree with Kushner on the aspects of God’s power, the reader may find Kushner’s suggestions on how to deal with people who are dealing with grief and pain, as Kushner himself has experienced it first hand.
Bibliography lists 3 sources.
