From the Paper
"Given that The Salvation Army's tremendous success is largely due to its ability to respond to the needs of individual communities, one can imagine that it is impossible to delineate one single future direction for the service. For example, Pastor Rideout's response to that question was based on his own experience in the organization. As a result, he believed that The Salvation Army needed to concentrate on developing its youth programs. In addition, he believed that the organization needed to provide additional family service centers and youth centers. Moreover, he sees a need for hygiene and family education in his community."

Abstract
This paper looks at the historical development and significance of the Salem witchcraft trials, and argues that the Salem trials were pieces of a larger phenomenon, i.e. the system of belief of New England which integrated witchcraft. In doing so, the paper considers the following aspects: the historical and social circumstances of 17th century Massachusetts, previous such episodes, the profile of the people executed on charges of witchcraft, as well as the effect of race and gender on the formulation of witchcraft allegations.
From the Paper
"The Salem witch trials were preliminary hearings held in 1692 in several towns: Salem Village, Ipswich, Andover, as well as Salem Town, Massachusetts. The best-known such hearings were conducted in Salem Town and resulted in nineteen of witchcraft i.e. nineteen death sentences by hanging. One of the most interesting controversies ever associated with the Salem trials is that of the role of Cotton and Increase Mather in the trials in question . There have been countless speculations regarding the Mathers, ranging from accusations of propagating witch-hunt hysteria as a means of driving people back to church to open condemnation of being slow to speak out against spectral evident brought against the witches. Spectral evidence referred to the afflicted people's testimonies which incriminated the alleged witches; the afflicted claimed they saw apparitions of certain people who were causing the affliction i.e. witches. The most significant questions that arise when talking about the Salem alleged cases of witchcraft are, why did so many cases occur?, and secondly, what common traits can be identified among these cases? In order to be able to answer these two questions, one must turn their attention to several factors such as religious ideology, political and social context, as well as the profile of the accused and the accusers, and last but not least, what these accusations entailed and how they were responded to."

Abstract
The author of this paper discusses the influence of the Bible on the spread and success of the Christian mission. The author first examines how the Bible encourages evangelism and missionary work referring both to literature and passages from the Bible to support his case. The writer then discusses how the Bible was crucial in promoting Christianity in varying areas of the world and how it influenced the indigenous populations. Finally, the writer examines how the Bible has influenced the growth of evangelism in the United States.
From the Paper
"This missionary goal is found in Psalms and Prophets, and in many other passages throughout the Bible that speak to creation, history and prophetic views (p. 18). It was to the third world countries around the globe that evangelists traveled to in order to witness and to convert people whose lives were rooted in paganism and exoticism and mysticism to Christianity. To that end, it cannot be said that the missionaries were without success; although Christians found competition in the Islamic convert or die philosophy, which has been hugely successful in Africa, a place of extensive evangelic missionary work. However, it was to the third world countries that evangelists took Christian prayer, which they believed was a way to be involved in the Promise of God, and ushering in the reign of God on Earth (Sindima, Harvey, J., 1998, p. 180)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the influence of the Bible on the spread of Christianity throughout the world, drawing on four articles that have been written on the subject. The first article explains how the Christian mission grew out of the gospel, underwent a long period of global expansion through power tactics and today has changed to an atmosphere of dialogue and openness, instead of pushing people into one particular denomination. The second article provides background on Biblical passages that are widely used for mission purposes, and the writer identifies some important points made by this article regarding the spreading of Christianity through the Bible. The writer explains that the third article emphasizes the universal appeal of the Bible and the fourth article points out the importance of the Reformation and literacy in understanding the Bible. The writer concludes that this paper only contains a few examples of the historical and literary evidence that proves the substantial influence of the Bible on the Christian mission.
From the Paper
"Indeed, the Bible has enough dynamism within its chapters to "take on new meanings and new horizons of ideas" in this very diverse and changing world, Pathrapankal continues. The mission of the Christian Church is spelled out in Matthew's Gospel, Pathrapankal writes on page 62 of his journal essay. The author says that there have been hundreds of years of close analysis of this Scriptural passage - Chapter 28, verses 18-20 - and it still remains a "classic" passage which lays out the challenge of the Christian mission. So, not only is the Bible seen as a vitally necessary ingredient in the Christian mission, the Bible tells Christians as much."

Introduction
The Bible and Christian Missions
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In more recent times that European Union has come under some attack for even suggesting that Europe's Christian past should not be mentioned in the proposed constitution. In addition there was a great deal of outrage when French officials banned wearing any religious symbols in Public. With such hostility towards Christianity taking root throughout Europe and the world, it is becoming even more important that bibles are available and continue to influence missionaries and mission work. In addition, it is important that Christians throughout the world work together to prevent religious prosecution of people of any faith."

Introduction
Miller And The Millerites
Miller on Interpretation of Scripture
The Book Of Daniel: The Cleansing of the Sanctuary
Millerism Post-1844
Millerites Attitudes Toward Politics and Government
Ellen White
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Miller's belief was that his own reading of the Bible "was more profitable than hearing it read, or interpreted by some deacon. His approach to Biblical study, guided by his systematic 'rules of interpretation' still embodied enlightenment ideals. He attempted to read the Bible with commentaries and his former prejudices put aside believing the Bible to be its own interpreter. That is, Miller believed all scripture to be consistent and in harmony with the rest of scripture; its true interpretation was made clear by a reasoned study of other scripture." Miller believed that "the rationalistic principle that all scriptures must be brought together in order to fully understand any doctrinal teaching."

The Salvation of Christ and Judaism, 2008.
A discussion on the belief in Jesus Christ in Christianity and Judaism.

Abstract
This paper attempts to present the salvation of Jesus Christ to those of the Jewish faith. The author provides a short history of Judaism and points out the many similarities of Christianity and Judaism. The paper states that many Jews resist believing in Jesus, for accepting him may be seen as abandonment of the Jewish heritage. The author argues that Christ is the answer to prophecies in the Old Testament and that the New Testament is actually a continuance of the Old Testament. The paper also disputes that since the bible is seen as the true word of God, even those of the Jewish faith should give credence to the message of Jesus Christ as observed in the New Testament.
From the Paper
"Although similar in theology and origin, Christianity and Judaism incorporate differences which divide the two to the core. However, the Jewish people should recognize Jesus' message as the follow up from the one and only Lord. Christianity, as professed in the Gospels of the New Testament should be seen as the extension of the word of God, which originally appeared in the pages of the Old Testament."

Abstract
The author of this paper examines the Roman Catholic Church as a bureaucracy based on Max Weber's theory that modern bureaucracies evolved as a result of the Protestant revolution. The author examines the Roman Catholic church in the light of his own experiences as a Roman Catholic and attempts to show that the church, even though existing long before the Protestant revolution, has all the characteristics of modern bureaucracies.
From the Paper
"But informally, doing volunteer work, people often do multiple jobs, based not in descriptions but in availability and simply as to what needs to be done at any point in time. Promotion may be based on who seems most committed or has had a family member affected by the illness rather than upon experience or passing a test, and people volunteering for a walk-a-thon are not 'professionals.' This twofold structure of professionalism and voluntary association for enrichment or pleasure is also true of the International Association of Administrative Professionals and American Bowling Congress. I joined the first organization to make professional and personal contacts in my field, and the second for leisure, and while my membership and role may not be functional, rule-governed, or defined, the leadership of these organizations is bureaucratic."

"Eventually Martin Luther left the Monastery in Erfurt and joined another Monastery in Wittenberg. While living in Wittenburg, Luther earned a degree and theology and gained employment as a professor at the University of Wittenburg. While lecturing at the University, Luther began to form and express some of his opinions concerning salvation. One of the issues that Martin Luther had with the concept of salvation and the Catholic Church had to do with the concept of grace as opposed to deeds being the justification for salvation. It was during a series of lecture on Romans that Martin Luther came to the epiphany that Grace was a gift from God. "
