What is Christian?

Christianity is one of the most widely studied religious traditions in academic settings, examined across disciplines including theology, history, philosophy, ethics, and anthropology. Courses in religious studies, world religions, ethics, and even business routinely ask students to engage with Christian thought, scripture, and practice. The tradition's foundational texts, particularly the Bible, along with its central figure of Jesus Christ and the broader concept of faith, generate substantial scholarly inquiry. The intellectual richness of Christianity — spanning questions of belief, morality, power, and identity — makes it a productive subject for academic analysis at every level.

Papers on this topic take a wide range of approaches. Some are historical, examining events such as the Rhineland Massacres of 1096 and the role of religious identity in violence. Others are philosophical or literary, as seen in analyses of Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy. Several papers take a reflective or personal approach, applying Christian principles to lived experience, including struggles with anger or questions of faith in professional contexts like business ethics. Comparative work also appears, setting Christianity alongside traditions such as Confucianism or examining how Christian values intersect with broader cultural and political institutions.

A strong essay on Christianity benefits from a clearly scoped thesis that moves beyond broad description toward a specific argument about faith, practice, scripture, or historical impact. Evidence drawn from biblical texts, theological frameworks, or documented historical events carries the most weight. A common pitfall is treating Christianity as a monolithic tradition — acknowledging its internal diversity and historical development will make any argument significantly more credible.

Holiness and desire in Spenser's Epithalamion

This paper examines how Edmund Spenser combines holiness with passionate love in his poem about his own marriage in 1594, the "Epithalamion". The paper argues that Spenser's role as Protestant religious poet in England accounts for the strangeness of approach: thirty years prior to Spenser's poem, the Church of England had declared marriage was not a sacrament. Since the church will not provide the holiness, Spenser must provide it through the poetic use of natural and supernatural imagery.

Shia political movements in Lebanon from the 1960s onward

Introduction Political chiefs (zucama) from a few powerful families dominated Shici politics into the 1960s and continued their control through extensive support networks. The authority of the zucama varied on their clients' support, but by the 1960s hundreds of young Shici men and women became estranged from old-style politics and were attracted by new political forces. The vision of radical change could only have been appealing to a community whose culture emphasized its exploitation and dispossession by the ruling elites. In Lebanon, as in Iraq, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, Shica in great numbers were recruited in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s to secular opposition parties. In Lebanon the resistance took the shape of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), the Lebanese Communist Party (LCP), (Cooper & Erlanger, 2011) the Organization for Communist Labor Action, and pro-Syrian and pro-Iraqi factions of the Arab Socialist Bacth (or “Resurrection”) Party. Predominantly in the case of the Communist organizations and the SSNP, there was an intrinsic ideological pull towards parties that damned the tribal, religious, or cultural bases of discrimination (Mazetti & Shanker, 2012).
