What is God?

The concept of God sits at the center of theological, philosophical, and humanistic inquiry, making it one of the most broadly studied subjects across religious studies, philosophy, and literature courses. Essays on this topic engage with foundational questions about existence, faith, and the nature of divine being. Students are drawn to it because it bridges abstract reasoning and lived human experience, appearing in scriptural analysis, ethical frameworks, and even discussions of mythology. Works and texts that surface repeatedly in this area include the Bible, the writings of C. S. Lewis, and narratives from both Christian and non-Christian traditions, each offering distinct entry points into questions about who or what God is and how that understanding shapes human life.

The papers archived under this topic take a wide range of approaches. Some pursue philosophical argument, directly examining the existence of God through logic and reason. Others apply literary or comparative analysis, such as weighing characters like Maheo and God across different cultural stories, or reading Flannery O'Connor's fiction through a theological lens. Doctrinal and scriptural close-reading is also common, with papers focusing on specific biblical passages, figures like Melchizedek, the miracles of Jesus, or the significance of narratives in Genesis. A smaller set of papers connects theological ideas to ethics, history, or human experience more broadly.

A strong essay on this topic requires a focused, arguable thesis rather than a broad survey of belief. Evidence drawn from primary texts — scripture, literary works, or philosophical arguments — carries the most weight and should be cited closely. The most common pitfall is conflating personal belief with analytical argument; even when writing about faith, the essay should engage critically with concepts, sources, and competing interpretations.

Poetry explication techniques and literary analysis

Poetry Explication – Fern Hill (Dylan Thomas) Introduction The "Poetry Explications" handout from UNC states that a poetry explication is a "relatively short analysis which describes the possible meanings and relationship of the words, images, and other small units that make up a poem." Thesis: The speaker in "Fern Hill" dramatically embraces memories from his childhood days at his uncle's farm, when the world was innocent; the second part brings out the speaker's loss of innocence and transition into manhood. This explication will identify and critique Thomas' tone, imagery (including metaphors) and expressive language (as it contributes to the power of the poem). ("Fern Hill" uses 6 verse paragraphs; there are 9 lines in each paragraph.)
