- 3483: Miracles
- Miracles The first issue is to try and define what a miracle is. A miracle is hard to define, especially today. Miracles are a rarity in today's world. The technical definition of a miracle, is a kind of supernatural or extremely unusual event. In a biblical sense, a miracle is a special act of God in the world; a supernatural interference into nature; a special divine interaction. As Christians, the biblical definition is what we put our faith in. Now we need to know the history of miracles and if they really exist in today's world.

- 3486: Christianity and Change

The negative influence would come from the fact that people might come back to the church only because they fear that the year 2000 will bring about the ending of the world.

- 3488: The Poetry of John Keats
- ... reading of his poems as mere parts of a larger whole, the reader may miss specific themes and ideals which are not as readily apparent as are the obvious stylistic hallmarks. Through Keats' eyes, the world is a place full of idealistic beauty, both artistic and natural, who's inherent immortality, is to him a constant reminder of that man is irrevocably subject to decay and death. This theme is one ... poetic device to indicate a visionary activity is about to follow with the admission to a state of "drowsey numbness". In this case, the visionary action is the poet slowly lapsing into the nightingale's world, opening his senses to the true nature of the bird while other "men sit and hear each other groan" (Norton 1845). This state of semiconsciousness allows for his understanding that, although it is mid-May ... being mid-May.

- 3490: First And Second Reconstructio
- First and Second Reconstructions The First and Second Reconstructions held out the great promise of rectifying racial injustices in America.

My thesis is that failure to incorporate economic justice for Blacks in both movements led to the failure of the First and Second Reconstruction.
