How did Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella challenge the Christian church’s teaching about predestination?

1 answer:

4 0

In his text, Stevenson showed how good and evil are well-defined things and each human being establishes his/her destiny based on the choices he makes between good and evil.

<h3>What is predestination?</h3>

It is an advanced determination of fate.
It is the certainty that the fate of individuals is already determined.
It is the certainty that nothing can change the concepts of destiny.

Robert Louis Stevenson did not believe in predestination, just as he was strongly critical of how religion dealt with it. For him, a person's destiny was not premeditated but progressively constructed from the choices each person made.

These choices were directly linked to the concepts of good and evil, which, for Robert Louis Stevenson, were well-defined, making it easy for any individual to choose which path to follow.

This conception is well explored in the author's texts, including in "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Religion," his greatest work.

Highlight the word or phrase that makes the thesis statement wordy parent teacher conferences would be more effective if conduct

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The phrase that makes this thesis statement wordy is: electronic mail.

Explanation:

Wordiness refers to making something longer than it should be, that is, using too many words to express something. In the case of the thesis statement we are analyzing here, all words seem to be necessary with the exception of the final phrase. As we know, "electronic mail" is no longer an expression in use. It's been decades since it has been replaced by the shorter version "email", "e" standing for "electronic". Not only does using "electronic mail" make the sentence wordy, it also makes it sound old-fashioned.
