- 1751: Kafka's The Trial: The Reality of Guilt
- ... of religion in "The Trial." Some believe that religion is irrelevant and others view "The Trial" as a piece of integrating ideas revolving around religion. In his essay, "The Trial and the Theology of Crisis," John Kelly argues that "The Trial," ignores social problems…[and] plunges directly into the tangled morass of Calvinistic conceptions regarding man's relationship with an absolute God (The Kafka Problems 153)." Reading his essay further, the reader can deduce that John Kelly believes that "The Trial" is a parable about religion, and nothing more. In chapter nine of "The Trial," most of the setting takes place in a Cathedral. The Cathedral itself becomes gradually darker and ... a Collection of Critical Essays.

Elizabeth Proctor had been the orphaned Abigail's mistress, ant they had lived together in the same small house until Elizabeth fired the girl. By this time, I was sure, John Proctor had bedded Abigail, who had to be dismissed most likely to appease Elizabeth. They was bad blood between the two women now. That Abigail started, in effect, to condemn Elizabeth to death with her ... proached the witchcraft out of nowhere or from purely social and political considerations. My own marriage of twelve years was teetering and I knew more than wished to know about where the blame lay. That John Proctor the sinner might overturn his paralyzing personal guilt and become the most forthright voice against the madness around him was a reassurance to me, and, I suppose, an inspiration: it demonstrated that a ...

A similar doctrine is laid down ... or substance with God; He is not consubstantial (homoousios) with the Father, and therefore not like Him, or equal in dignity, or co-eternal, or within the real sphere of Deity.

These consequences follow upon the principle which Arius maintains ... adopted by dissidents from the mind of the Church. A formula had been discovered which would serve as a test, though not simply to be found in Scripture, yet summing up the doctrine of St. John, St. Paul, and Christ Himself, "I and the Father are one".
