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.

Review of \"The Great Commission to Worship\" by Wheeler and Whaley

As a North American Mission Board national missionary and associate director of the Center for Church Planting at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, David Wheeler is eminently qualified to speak on matters of spiritual study, and his jointly authored book The Great Commission to Worship: Biblical Principles for Worship-Based Evangelism demonstrates an extreme aptitude for biblical interpretation and modern empirical inquiry. His co-author Vernon M. Whaley serves as Director of the Center for Worship and Chairman of the Department of Music and Worship Studies at Liberty University, both positions which require a true commitment to evangelical teaching on a societal level. Together, this pair of highly educated religious instructors combine to create a lasting contribution to one of Christianity’s most ofte-repeated debates; between the Great Commission given to the Church as an institution and the Great Commandment given to every human being on an individual basis. The questions posed immediately by Wheeler and Whalen in their opening chapter (“The Mandate of Worship and the Great Commission”) are compelling on many levels, as the authors ask “how do we develop a strategy for evangelism that does not exclude or responsibility to engage in worship?”

Review of \"Family to Family\" by Pipes and Lee

After earning his Doctor of Ministry from Luther Rice Seminary, Dr. Jerry Pipes dedicated his life to the cause of using spirituality as the foundation for strengthening family ties, with Family to Family: Leaving a Lasting Legacy standing as one of his lasting contributions to that cause. Victor Lee – Pipes’ co-author on the project – serves as the Minister of Single Adults & Evangelism at First Baptist Concord, in Knoxville, Tennessee, and his specialized skill set in the realm of ministry to young people is prevalent throughout the book. Together, Pipes and Lee combine to tackle the age-old dilemma facing families everywhere: emotional distance between spouses, a lack of connection between parents and children, and rivalries between siblings. Rather than devote several chapters to a discussion of why these problems seem to afflict families across all spectrums – including religious and secular or lower- and upper-class family units – Pipes and Lee immediately diagnose the problem as deriving directly from the inherent selfishness which plagues all individuals.
