The Crucible Introduction

jskotnicki

The Crucible by Arthur Miller is about the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 in Massachusetts. Nineteen men and women and two dogs were hanged after being convicted of witchcraft. The play is an allegory for McCarthyism in 1950s America. A crucible is a place of extreme heat and severe test, and the play examines what happens when authority is challenged and hysteria takes hold. The play is still relevant as an allegory today when societies seek perfection at the cost of individual freedoms.

The early Christian Ecumenical Councils played a key role in developing the church's understanding of Jesus. The Councils defined Christianity and clarified important doctrines such as the dual nature of Christ as both human and divine. The Councils condemned heresies like Arianism and developed creedal statements of faith. Over several centuries, the Councils further refined Christian theology on issues such as the relationship between Christ's human and divine wills. The Councils helped establish orthodox Christian doctrine and shape the church.
