While each denomination holds true to the fundamental beliefs found in the Bible, each one also has its own doctrinal beliefs and practices that sets it apart.

Why do some interested researchers claim that such notable figures as Paul on the road to Damascus, Joan of Arc, Ellen White of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church and other persons suffered from TLE because of their range of reported experiences with God, angels, and demons (1,3)? In my first paper, I highlighted the connection scientists have made between religious experience

Though they aren’t the most recognizable names in history, the works of Mary Ellen Pleasant, James Armistead, and David Walker helped abolish slavery (along with the untold slave revolt), that once surrounded our country.
