We all have to do it: write papers for school. Sometimes you just go through the motions. Other times (and what you hope for every time) the paper ends up being something special. These are the papers that were special to me. Some of them are even fun to read!

Theology

"The Implicit Election in Wesley's Prevenient Grace"

A paper somewhat summarizing some thoughts I've been struggling with concerning my Wesleyan heritage for some time. I feel good about the argument, but feel free to disagree.

"12 Steps to Grace: Faith, Hope, and Love in Kierkegaard's Diapsalmata"

Here's a very short little paper I'm actually quite proud of on Kierkegaard.

Philosophy

"The Poetry of Philosophy"

Thoughts on how we, as individuals, can express to others the truths we have learned in life.

"Liberal Democracy in the Hegelian Tradition"

Something kind of along the lines of Fukuyama's The End of History.

"Stoicism and Ethics Made Easy"

A little paper about the joys of ancient Stoicism.

"Horizontal Thumos: A Prayer"

A paper I wrote a while ago on Nietzsche and Socrates.
