From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine two paintings by Paul Gaugin, A Swineherd, Brittany (1888), and Ia Orana Maria (1891). The plan of the research will be to set forth the background and context in which Gaugin created each painting, and then to compare and contrast analytically the content and apparent intent informing them, both intrinsically and as part of the larger scheme of Gaugin's body of work.
Gaugin's A Swineherd, Brittany, an oil painting on canvas, hangs in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

"Paul Gauguin: Counter-Impressionist
Pool presents a concise introduction to this remarkable man who would be scorned, labeled and finally vindicated as one of the most provocative and controversial artists of the time (195-202).
Born in Paris, 1848, he lived with his mother, traveling with her to Peru and elsewhere from 1851-1855. On his return to France, he became a sailor at age seventeen, completing voyages to Valparaiso and Rio de Janeiro. By 1871, he was employed as a stockbroker at a Paris firm, commanding an income good enough to permit him to marry a Parisian girl and start a family in 1873. It was his friend, Emile Schuffenecker who first persuaded Gauguin to go painting with him on Sundays; it was to be the first fateful incursions into what would shortly become a consuming pass.."

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of Paul's character in Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" by focusing on three of his attributes: 1) his tendency to be very self-oriented and separated from the others around him 2) his over-concern for all things that glitter and 3) his damaged psyche.
From the Paper
"In Willa Cather's story "Paul's Case", the character Paul embodied the Calvinist household in which he was raised in. Paul is a very self-oriented and introverted boy whose every action is designed and calculated to prevent others from seeing the real him. Paul is also a person who is overly concerned with money, wealth, and glamour; all which he believes will take him to the top and get him off Cordelia Street, which he despises with a passion. Paul is also under all of his mental armor, is scared, scarred and mentally damaged by his father and by his teachers so much that he can no longer go on living."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Post-Impressionist artists were interested in the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche, particularly in his concept of the Ubermensch, a superman who would be capable through intense struggle of surmounting the lower forces that would limit his ability to achieve. and how the idea that man could evolve beyond his present capacities influenced the relationship of European man to previous cultures and to contemporary but less "civilized" societies. It explores the ways in which Paul Gauguin applied the Ubermensch concept to his art and to his life and examines parallel motifs in the oeuvres of his contemporaries. It details his life from his birth 1848 through his initial career as a stockbroker and his influence by Impressionist art.
From the Paper
"The most enigmatic of his self-portraits is one of his 1889 ones, his now familiar features reduced almost to a caricature. His powerful body, hawk-like nose, slanted eyes and high cheekbones give him the appearance of a Mongol conqueror, and the gorgeous reds and golds of the paints create an exotic atmosphere. Two apples dangle over his shoulder, and a sinuous serpent meanders across his chest. Over his head, a halo hovers. He is now a Magus, a powerful supernatural being with divine powers - the realization of the full potential of the ubermensch. Inasmuch as he will be dead in 1901, it may well be that his syphilis had progressed by 1889 to an extent that he was delusional. Certainly the ego and the violent personality that had been developing in Tahiti and later in Atuana reached their culmination in a belief in self that seems excessive, even for an artistic personality."

Gauguin's "Under the Pandanus", 2002.

Abstract
This paper, which includes a picture of the painting itself, begins by examining the contents of the painting. It then discusses why the inclusion of this painting in the Dallas Museum "10 Treasures" collection is problematic for several reasons, ranging from the fact that Gauguin is called a representative of European art and that the selection of this particular work of Gauguin' was not his best.
From the Paper
"Paul Gaugin was born during the 1848 revolution, and in 1883 (a stockbroker with five children and a wife with whom he had difficulties) met artist Camille Pissarro, one of the central figures in the Impressionist movement. This meeting marks one of the seminal influences in his life, one that took him away from the stockmarket and into the world of art collecting, and thence to collecting. This writer's interest in Gaugin was fired by viewing the recent Van Gogh touring exhibition and gazing at some of the paintings on display and wondering what about them created a desire to pay millions and millions of dollars for such works. In the tape recorded "tour" that went with the exhibit, there was some mention of the relationship between Van Gogh and Gaugin."

Messages from James and Paul, 2006.
This paper examines the different messages from James and Paul and Paul's ideas of resurrection.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the relatively short chapter of James, when compared to the longer writings of Paul to the Romans, appears to illustrate many dividing messages from the early church. The more prolific author, Paul, conveys a much more political agenda, speaking decisively regarding Jews, Gentiles and the Law, while James instead focuses on the importance of actions in faith, writing for "all God's people scattered over the whole world." The paper explains that as these two authors are writing for different audiences, they write with particular purposes. The paper discusses how the letter of James looks closely at specific practices of the Christian beliefs, illustrating how faith is meant to properly be put into action.

Pope John Paul II, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explores the life and many achievements of the head of the Catholic church, Pope John Paul II. Author Tad Szulc argues in his book "Pope John Paul II, The Biography" that despite a seemingly difficult life and an even more unlikely rise to power, Pope John Paul II played a large role in the collapse of European communism. This paper also details many interesting revelations and historical facts of Pope John Paul II's life.
From the Paper
"Pope John Paul II has never deviated form the rigid principle he set forth with the start of his papacy. He will not stand for any public dissent within the church on matters of Catholic morality, ethics, faith and interpretation. He subsequently banned all controversial theological debates, citing the old Roman adage, causa finita est, meaning, when Rome speaks the matter is closed. Although his appointment seemed a harsh reality, John Paul none the less took up an almost opposite stance when it came to the poor and oppressed, becoming a powerful advocate for third world nations."

A discussion of the apocalyptic views of the Apostle Paul.
1,379 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how the major difference between the Apostle Paul and the other apostles is that Paul had not known Jesus while he was on earth as the Son of God. It examines how Paul's conversion occurred only after the Ascension and how this fact plays a prominent role in his teachings about Jesus and about the apocalypse. It discusses this aspect of Paul's Christianity together with specific aspects of the apocalypse that Paul deals with in his writings. The three ages of the apocalypse as seen by Paul are also examined.
Outline
The End of the World (1 Cor. 15)
The Resurrection (1 Cor 15 continued)
The Restoration of the World (Romans 8)
The Coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4)
From the Paper
"First, the end of the world as depicted by Paul in his first epistle to the Corinthians (Chapter 15:20-28) is considered. This is a celebration of God, who will come and reign over everything and everyone. Secondly, and closely related to this is Paul's view of the resurrection (1Cor15:20-28), during which the earth and human beings are made new to conform to the spiritual realm. Thirdly Paul's description of the restoration of the world in Romans 8:18-25 is considered. Here the premise is the hope that every Christian lives in that the suffering experienced in the world will end in glory. Finally, the way in which Paul deals with the coming of Christ in his first epistle to the Thessalonians (Chapter 4:13-18) is considered. Here Paul continues the theme of hope in terms of being reunited with those who have passed away."

Paul and Trevor, 2002.
A comparison of the characters Paul (from the short story "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather) and Trevor ("The Destructors"by Graham Greene).

Abstract
The paper looks at two short stories - "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather and "The Destructors" by Graham Greene - and examines the contrasts and similarities between two of the main characters, Trevor and Paul.
The paper shows how both characters are rebels, although the way they rebel differs. It discusses how Trevor's is a physical rebellion, brought on by peer pressure and a need to destroy. Paul, on the other hand, rebels from the inside by way of outlandish clothes and mannerisms - as if to separate himself from the constricted society he finds himself in.
From the Paper
"Another difference is that Paul lives in fantasies, but Trevor does not. Paul sees the people of Cordelia street as unworthy of what he imagines himself to be and behaves sarcastically towards them, especially his teachers. He wears unbecoming clothes and loses attention to show that he does not belong there. But his rebellion exacts a much higher price in his mind, because he has no power to alter society without forfeiting something of magnitude - his liberty or his life. Trevor's ambition is only for the day and does not involve his entire existence."

Abstract
This essay is in the form of a letter from the Apostle Matthew to Paul. The letter cogently outlines Matthew's points of disagreement with Paul on issues of doctrine, practice and adherence to the laws according to the Old Testament.
From the Paper
"Dear Paul,
"I have come upon your letter written to the people of Galatia and I am appalled that you take the laws of the Torah so lightly. You claim that you received a revelation from Jesus Christ and are; therefore, an apostle of Jesus. How then could you have misunderstood the reason for his existence here on earth? You have stated, "A man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ" and that "by observing the law no one will be justified." You are preaching this to Gentile Christians, telling them they are not required to obey the Law of Moses. You do this because you believe Jesus came to abolish the Jewish laws, while the opposite is true."

Abstract
This paper examines the life of the Apostle Paul. The paper provides a biography of Paul's life and discusses Paul's qualifications for the work which God called him to perform. The paper also discusses Paul's first, second and third mission within the timeline of his life.
Outline:
Introduction
His Life
Significance of Paul
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Paul has often been credited with making sure that the Christian faith became a universal faith. While there were many important names in the bible who helped to create the foundational universal nature of the Christian faith, Paul traveled the world to do it and the fact that he had been a rabbi gave his word a significant amount of creditability during the process. "
"Another contributor to the great significance that Apostle Paul had when it came to the Christian faith was his writing ability. While many of the Lord's followers were able to produce speeches and talks that were guided by the Lord, Paul had an extremely talented writing ability. This was during a time in which educated people who could write well were highly regarded, respected and revered. Paul was one of those people so much so that even from his house arrest status and his time in jail he was able to write down the things that he wanted the world to know about the Christian faith and have it spread in that manner .

"Epistles of Paul", 1990.
This paper examines the "Epistles of Paul" from the New Testament, arguing that Paul diverted dramatically from the teachings of Jesus Christ.

From the Paper
"This study will examine the Epistles of Paul from the New Testament, arguing that Paul diverted dramatically from the teachings of Jesus Christ and, as such critics as George Bernard Shaw and Frederick Nietzsche claim, in effect established a religion which is more "Pauline', than "Christian."
... the early Christians' lives were marked by two qualities more than any other; those qualities were mutual affection and joy. The early Christians, says Smith, were people who not only claimed that they had access to a loving God, they lived their lives as if it were true. Many people claimed such access to a god or God, but few seemed to truly have put their faith into action in dealing with other human beings on a daily basis, as had the early Christians."

Paul and Messiah, 2007.
An analysis of Paul's views of Julius Caesar, Roman rule and the identity of the true messiah.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents Paul's view of Roman rule in light of his belief in Jesus and the Kingdom of God. The paper focuses on Paul's view of Julius Caesar, Rome rule, and Paul's religious beliefs. The writer explores Paul's letters to support the case that Paul did not agree with the idea of worshipping Caesar and did indeed consider Jesus to be the true messiah.
From the Paper
"With regards to the Roman rule Paul had issues with its foundation. At that time in world history Julius Cesar wanted to be worshipped as a God himself. He demanded complete loyalty and love from his subjects and he would not allow anyone to stray from worshipping him as he believed he should be worshipped. Paul denounced this demand as he believed that Jesus was the messiah and the one who should receive such divine and complete devotional worship from the people; Caesar was on his way to becoming the great divinity as a divine religion with him held as the messiah during the Greco-Roman Times."

Paul's Letter To The Galatians, 2002.
An analysis of the origin, meaning and impact of Paul's letter to the Galatians and to the faithful in general.
2,150 words (approx. 8.6 pages), 6 sources, AU$ 86.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will set out the background to the letter, before looking at why Paul wrote it and what he had to say to the Galatians and to the faithful in general. It will argue that Paul was attempting to counter the message of a group of Judaizers within the Church who argued that the Gentile converts had to abide by Jewish law. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul argues that righteousness is justified by faith in Christ, and not by relying on law. The crux of this paper's argument is that Paul's letter to the Galatians was about replacing allegiance to a code of law with allegiance to a person, this being Jesus Christ.

Abstract
This paper details the numerous errors on the part of the Ontario police department, as well as the prosecutors who were determined to find Guy Paul Morin guilty of killing Christine Jessop. This paper explores the various reasons Morin was wrongfully convicted including the fact that the police did not seek out any other suspects, as they were sure Morin was guilty. On October 3, 1984, 9-year-old Christine Jessop was brutally beaten, stabbed, raped and murdered. Morin was charged with the murder of Christine Jessop. When the prosecution could not prove its case in 1986, Morin was acquitted of the murder. Immediately the verdict was appealed by the prosecution. The Supreme Court ruled that the judge misdirected the jury. Evidence played a key role in the conviction and exoneration of Guy Paul. This paper also details the main evidence that had been used against Guy Paul had in fact been contaminated since 1985.
From the Paper
"Police had leads to other people, but did not follow up on them because they were just after Guy Paul, not anybody else. The first possible person is Paul Wilsonm he was seen cleaning the inside of his truck with a hose, which made his employer suspicious. Police just look at the truck and said "it looks fine" and that was the end of that. The second possible suspect was Tom Atkins. Atkins was charged with the sexual abuse of 5 year old and lived in the area. When he passed a polygraph test, police let him go, even though they had a search warrant and could have searched his house to be certain he did not have anything to do with the murder. The third suspect is Mike Taylor. He (Mike) had been working at the cemetery where Christine used to play, he also once threatened his sister with a gun. Mike once went after his father with a chainsaw, but he had an alibi for the night of the murder, his family. Later on, Mike's sister changed her story, but not with the police."
