Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Circumstances do not matter but rather how a person deals with them is most important, according to Lewis. Modern news coverage and legal trials often delve intimately in to a person's past as explanation for current actions. Agree or refute Lewis's view point by elaborating upon whether such explanations are relevant and, secondly, address whether an explanation can be used for as disguised as justification.
Essay Topic 2
Factions by definition are exclusionary, and all factionalism is useful for the devil's purposes. Describe the basic premise of factionalism, its function and intent, and why it is essentially contrary to God's plans.
Essay Topic 3
Lewis contends it is important that a person be aware of their social responsibilities to prevent a devil from causing confusion about Christian duties. This is the basic premise of his book "Mere Christianity." Identify and discuss three examples of modern living where this confusion might be in play.
