These fictionalized accounts of a criminal investigation are provided to the public with the intention of gaining financial rewards through the mass production and consumption of entertainment. In appealing to this entertainment factor a myriad of components are considered in the development of crime films and literature. In Old City Hall, Rotenberg’s inclusion of multiple perspectives allows the readers to follow the thought process of the different components that make up the criminal justice system, including legal counsel, police officers, judges, forensic analysists and witnesses. For instance, Rotenberg mentions the techniques often used by both lawyers and detectives in carefully phrasing questions to get a response from a witness or suspect. “He knew what impressed judges and juries most was not a witness who simply read from the notebook, but one who genuinely tried to remember what it was he had seen and heard and felt” (Rotenberg, 2009, p. 247).
The affordances of the specific medium chosen helps to assist the narrative in different ways. Film and text are two examples of different types of media that can be used. One could compare Erik Larson’s book The Devil in the White City and Christopher Nolan’s film Memento. The comparison of these two media, which both show the protagonists committing murder, is able to portray the advantages and disadvantages of each medium. By comparing the murder scenes in each of these works, one is able to define the aspects in which each medium succeeds or fails.

Speaker John Edwards preached God’s word in the name of puritism in 1741 throughout New England in a speech titled “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. Simply because they had nothing else to do, entire communities gathered to listen to the passionate speech on God’s wrathful view of the human race and why puritism was the only way to be saved from His wrath. In the years following, Edwards’ sermons helped to spark the most significant religious renewal, The Great Awakening, in colonial history. In a similar way, social rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote a letter to eight clergymen on April 12, 1963 from Birmingham Jail to defend his nonviolent approach to protest. “Letter from Birmingham Jail” respectively implored the clergymen
As a leader of the German Reformation and a vanguard of Protestantism, Luther’s attitude toward Jews is a matter of great concern. Some scholars, including Paul Johnson, an English journalist and famous historian, believes Luther is a brutal anti-Semite. Paul thinks Luther was not content with verbal abuse – “he got Jews expelled from Saxony in 1537, and in the 1540s he drove them from many German towns.” However, some German theologians believe that Martin Luther does not hate Jews and think that Luther’s attitude toward Jews is a matter of religious discrimination rather than racial discrimination.
Sin seems to be a cyclical representation of the masses’ fear of death and their willingness to delegate backdoors out of the appropriate consequences. Martin Luther realized sin was in fact too much of an ethereal instigator of the dichotomy between what is good and bad and that this system was too simplistic. As a result, money, the most common object in the world, was used as a way to permeate the sins of man and essentially overwrite the infrastructure of true altruism. The notion that money could be used as a conduit to evade God’s punishment from sin was the main issue that encompassed Martin Luther’s work. This urged him to produce his Ninety-five Theses in 1517.
Many different countries and cultures have stereotypes and ideas about countries and cultures different than theirs. It is recorded that, historically, Spaniards said that Calvinism in the Netherlands,which they denounced as heresy, fostered capitalism. In 1517 Martin Luther wrote the Ninety-Five Theses, a document attacking the Catholic church for selling indulgences. This action sent a shockwave throughout Europe, and eventually the term Protestant was coined for Luther, his followers, and others like him who ‘protested’ the Catholic church.
Heiko A. Oberman’s biography Luther: Man between God and the Devil is set up more as a series of interconnected essays than a typical biography. Nevertheless, it should still be categorized as a biography. Throughout the book, Oberman focuses on the origins of the Reformation in Germany and the shaping of Luther’s thought as a young man. He also gives substantial attention to the major episodes of Luther’s life from his birth in 1483 to his death in 1546.
I think Martin Luther purpose of writing the theses and letters was to promote peace among believer and criticized the selling of indulgences. He wanted to improve tolerance and cease the violence acts from the Roman Churches. Luther theses challenged every bad act to be forbearances and make sure the authority of the pope obey the equal laws like everyone. He questioned Churches about the selling of indulgences to reduce punishment for sins and discussed that faith can lead people to better solutions. Martin Luther realized that the key to divine redemption was not to fear God, but to believe that faith alone would bring reclamation and peaceful way of living.
Calvin based his entire theology and writings on his belief that God is all powerful. He believes that God controls everyone and everything, including our salvation. Throughout Institutes of the Christian Religion, specifically in chapter XXI, Calvin acknowledges that his thoughts on predestination are highly debated and goes to great lengths to explain and reason it. Calvin believes that we are incompetent as human beings because we are inherently sinful, therefore, we are incapable of determining right and wrong.
About the author: The Table Talks are the random conversations written down by various guests at Luther 's table, which over the years were gathered together and published in various collections. It is based on the notes of the students that Luther had and compiled by Johannes Mathesius and published soon after. Mathesius spoke very highly about the privilege of eating and conversing with Luther, and was known for taking detailed and serious notes about the remarks that Luther made. Other note takers wrote down only the serious remarks of Luther, rather than including the more damaging and hurtful words of Luther.
Luther was known for his passion of music. Luther wrote many famous hymns, including : “A Christmas Carol”, “From Heaven above to Earth I Come”, and a famous reformation piece titled “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” (Luther's Works Liturgy and Hymns Vol 53,Urlich S.Leupold, Author c1965; Fortress Press Philadelphia). Luther’s hymns helped return sing to the people in the congregations. Luther’s hymns also inspired composers and artists to create their own works. Luther’s “A Mighty Fortress is our God” was wrote in 1529 and is deemed by many as “the greatest hymn of the greatest man of the greatest period of German history”(Luther's Works Liturgy and Hymns Vol 53,Urlich S.Leupold, Author c1965; Fortress Press Philadelphia).

In Martin Luther’s selected writing, Freedom of A Christian, he teaches his readers the steps and ways to reach salvation in terms of grace, justification, and works. He states that how an individual reaches salvation through grace is described with his threefold power: faith frees from the law (59), faith honors God (59), and faith unites the soul with Christ (60). Luther also describes the way to reach salvation through works. To summarize, Luther says that doing good works does not make a good person, but a good person will do good works. He uses the example of the fruit tree and that a good fruit tree will typically always make good fruit (69).
