Jonathan Edwards was also authentically well in his purposes. From preaching impacting sermons regularly, to being recognized as one of the most prominent philosophers of all time, Edward’s left behind some very big shoes to fill. Bradford, leading his colony as governor in a more lenient matter, and Edward’s, was the stricter of the two. Their differences is what made them both so unique as authors, because their writing skills helped connect with their

John Henry Newman was a professor at Oxford University and an Anglican minister that converted to Roman Catholicism and became a Pope. He delivered several lectures in Dublin, Ireland, about the importance of a Catholic education. These early lectures on education were revised and published in The Idea of a University. One of those lectures, “Knowledge Its Own End,” is about two distinct kinds of education (Austin, 53). Newman believed that there was a need for education purely for pleasure and education that is needed to pursue a specific career. Paulo Freire is a Brazilian literature professor and philosopher.

  • Compare And Contrast Jonathan Edwards And Anne Bradstreet

    1340 Words  | 3 Pages

    God is presented as being all-powerful and all-knowing. He’s aware of all the shortcomings and misdeeds of humanity for every individual person. The existence of God and the afterlife are two questions that merely rely on the matter of faith and belief. Jonathan Edwards and Anne Bradstreet both have relatively similar religious beliefs; however, their individual view point on God could not be further aside from one another. Jonathan Edwards preaches a literal fear of an arbitrary, unpredictable and vengeful God (Baird). Anne Bradstreet, on the other hand, believed with human error in a loving, trustworthy God.(Baird) It is almost unimaginable that these two authors’ views are traced back to puritanism due to their vast differences.

    There are many great concepts or takeaways from this seminar I could use as an example, but none more important than taking chances or listening to your gut instincts. Jack DeWitt and Edwin Craig understood this idea more than most, as it pertained to their dreams and professional goals. Additionally, the passion and drive of both, DeWitt and Craig, would be the catalyst which in turn sparked the sensation of the Music City. As a Nashville native, I never truly understood the rich history or “roots” of the city around me. Although I have always been proud of my city, I now have a deeper understanding of her struggle throughout those early years.

  • Essay On Compare And Contrast Smith And Swain

    592 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Analytic Writing Continuum that Smith and Swain write about seems like an innovative and a valuable rubric. Grading papers takes a very long time to complete and this invention seems to work. Although the first chapter only covers the basis of this rubric, it seems efficient and versatile, as it covers a wide variety of writing, such as argumentative writing and narratives. I looked more into the AWC in chapter two and my first impression is that it resembles an AP rubric, that uses a 1-9 scale, instead of a 1-6 scale. However, the AWC seems to be more detailed in terms of what each constitutes a certain score. Even though the language is easy to understand and provides a “common language”, as Smith and Swain explain, the differences between each score is still a little ambiguous in my
