How is the leader going to change his/her plans to create even more success? (the “act/adjust”) Well, the leader is no longer alive today but his speeches and sermons are still received, taught, and followed through the Nation of Islam.

Diandra Suarez November 16, 2012 Luke/Acts Critical Book Review-Reading the Bible from the Margins De la Torre presents Reading the Bible from the Margins as a book that brings perspectives to the standard way of reading the Bible. He makes the point that only one interpretation of the Bible was considered due to the dominant culture’s power (Delatorre 8). Despite this power, Delatorre hopes to show how the marginalized are spiritually empowered. Although the Euroamericans, or people in power, are not racist, they all have a privilege which will dominate above the marginalized and therefore they must be educated on the disenfranchised.

THE CRUSADERS AND THE CHURCH The crusades represent a part of church history that many have attempted to forget and leave hidden within the history books. Some claim the crusades to be a courageous time for the Christian church as they attempted to trample out false doctrine and protect the Holy Land from the cult of Islam. Others will quickly identify the crusades as the darkest and most regretful period of time in the history of the church. Either way, there is much detail surrounding the history of the crusades and how they developed. It is not quite as easy as a black and white assumption because many of the men involved had mixed intentions and sentiments regarding what the crusades were actually about.

A novice of Islamic Art should immediately notice that all of their masterful architecture stems from religion, in fact they almost always are Mosques, or homes of the religious practices. Aside from the Mosque, their other great artistic creations are what is referred to as “Luxury Arts”.
Du Bois were right that the problem of the twentieth century is racism, one would never know it from the average secondary-school syllabus, which often avoids issues of race almost completely. However, Huck Finn can slip into the American literature classroom as a "classic," only to engulf students in heated debates about prejudice and racism, conformity, autonomy, authority, slavery and freedom. It is a book that puts on the table the very questions the culture so often tries to bury, a book that opens out into the complex history that shaped it; the history of the ante-bellum era in which the story is set, and the history of the post-war period in which the book was written. It also requires us to address that history. Much of that history is painful.
