Essays on Bible.

Intertextuality is a term that refers to the use of different text to give a meaning of another one and is common in incidences of translation and plagiarism. I can be in any form and from any source as the Bible, dictionaries, quotes and many more articles. This essay aims at discussing cases of intertextuality from religious sources as used by the famous Martin Luther King in one of his speeches. It will further explain the meanings of such words relating to how they have been used in this context. Religious intertextuality is seen when Luther speaks about fire that ...

There have been many emergences of intense intolerance in the twentieth century. The most infamous of these being the atrocities of Nazi Germany, where the aim was to eradicate a group of people for thinking differently. Trying to explain these occurrences, one may take into account the fact that people are inherently different. Nothing can collect humans as a whole, even though there is a tendency to believe that they may be grouped. To fill this void, Western civilization has developed a discriminative and superior core, seen in many of its cultural expressions. These cultural coordinates lead to intolerance both of the self ...

Islam and Christianity are the leading and dominating religions of the world. Islam is, however, the third largest monotheistic religion. Islam asserts Allah as the sole creator, the one and only God that is good and sovereign and answers the prayers of his individuals. Islam emphasizes on the fact that God woks with the mankind by calling the prophets in order to proclaim the words of God (Becker). Islam just offers two choices to the individuals, which are God or the Satan, Belief or unbelief, and has mentioned the results that they will either attain the Paradise or will ...

Italian renaissance marks a period of rebirth and renewal in the interest of culture. This period was after the dark ages and lasted from the 14th to the 15th Century (Gardener et al. 14). During this period, Donatello was one of the best skilled artists. Donatello was an Italian sculptor (1386-1466) (Gardener et al. 14). Donatello designs the funeral monument to the anti-pope John XXIII and positions it between two columns inside the baptistery. The style of the work is classical antiquity and reflects the grandest Italian tomb in the medieval times. Donatello retains considerable elements of classical antiquity. The ...

Abortion can be referred to as a procedure that terminates pregnancy which can be done through the use of medicine or through performance of a surgery. The procedure can be done legally or illegally and it is a very personal decision. However, terminating pregnancy or what is better referred to as abortion is an illegal undertaking unless done under special instructions made by a licensed health care practitioner. Those that back up abortion argue that, abortion is a right which no one should be denied or regulated by the government nor any religious entity. The proponents of abortion argue that if the women are ...

The Effects of Scientific Revolution on Religion has been a very critical topic in such fields as history, philosophy and other social sciences. The scientific revolution, arguably one of the most important developments in human history is a movement that substantially shook the foundations of religion (Wolfe & Wolfe, 2011). The primary purpose of this topic, is to narrow down the broad topic of the effects of scientific revolution in such a manner that such effects are viewed from the perspective of the medieval religious structures, and not from the eye of the entire humanity. I chose to discuss this topic because it ...

Christianity and Judaism have a close historical and theological relationship. The two religious which were founded in Israel have various similarities as well as differences. In this paper, we explore the similarities and the differences of the two religions from a neutral point of view. Our main aim will be to present all the relevant comparisons and contrasts. This paper will have four sections of the history, religious authority, beliefs and doctrines and finally the rituals and practices of the religions. On the history of the two religions, Judaism was founded in 1300BC. It was founded by Abraham and Moses ...

For the final project I will present and analyze two famous Renaissance artworks: Michelangelo Buonarroti’s “ The Creation of Adam” and Lucas Cranach’s “Paradise”. Both of them were painted in approximately same time and belong to the same artistic epoque. Still both are very original and significant for the history of Art. The decision to compare these two works, which will be central for this essay, came to me with a thought that both of them represent the same artistic wave, show the flow of humanist ideas, and include religious characters, but at the same time they are completely ...

The best theory on the narrative framework is premillennialism. This is because in the Christian eschatology, it is the belief of Jesus Christ will physically and literally come back to earth and take the righteous to heaven with him. It is called the rapture because instead of Christ descending to touch the earth, those who area righteous will be raised so as to meet him in the air. It is called premillennialism because it will happen just before the millennium’s inauguration. This is different from the other theories which view the rule of millennial as occurring before the ...

The glory of God and his handiwork can be well shown by the creation of the heavens and the firmament thus the divine revelation. However, this can also include the human personality since human beings are also God’s creatures. Thus the creation works and the light of creation do manifest the goodness, the wisdom and the power of God. Nevertheless, man is not sufficient and cannot give the knowledge and the will which is necessary for salvation. The two terms i.e. reason and revelation appear to be contradictory to many people. Reason can be seen to be ...

The essay revolves around the peasants’ war of 1524-2525. The peasants’ war, also known as the revolution of 1525, is the largest insurrection or revolt in the history of Europe before the French Revolution. The goal of this essay is to explain the history before the revolution on the administration, economic situation, the culture of the peasant in ration to their agrarian development and the different social classes that existed. The causes of the war outbreak, movements and the suppression of the peasants’ war 1524 are discussed in the essay. Under the leadership of Martin Luther and Thomas Muntzer, ...

The Protestant Reformation was one of the most earth-shattering moments in European religious history; the split of the Christian Church between Catholicism and Protestantism started out small, with Martin Luther’s thesese, and quickly spread and developed throughout Europe. The impact of the Reformation on European life and religion was vast and widespread, as well as far more complex than anyone could have anticipated – different regions had different reactions to the Reformation, leading to distinct reactions to the huge religious change in different parts of the continent. The work of Pettegree (1992), Dickens (1993) and Duke (2000) strives to ...

Religion plays an important role in the life of humanity that each person feels the need of being part of a religious sect because of the spiritual hunger that is naturally created in man (Hammond 4-10). Despite the fact that atheist do not want to recognize the existence of a supreme being, they still have to find something that will cover up for that spiritual need due to the spiritual thirst created (Yinger 90-95). There is usually that hunger and thirst within my spirit to know God more and even let Him guide me in everything that I do. I realize ...

Quran and bible are the sacred books of Muslims and Christians respectively. Many important aspects become visible when they are read in detail. From the Koran’s excerpts, the most surprising finding for me is that there is no discrepancy in this holy book. Koran openly challenges all to find and make similar book if you have any doubt in it (Peters). Moreover, it is also surprising to me that God has taken the responsibility of Koran’s protection Himself and has mentioned that “I have revealed this Holy book and I will protect it”, that is why, ...

Judaism refers to the religious tradition that came up nearly four-thousand years ago, and it was based in the ancient near the eastern Canaan region (now Palestinian and Israel territories). This religion originated as beliefs and practices that exist among the people, called “Israel,” rabbinic, or classical, and Judaism which emerged after the 1st Century C.E. The Judaism religion traces its origin to the Abraham’s covenant with God as well as his lineage (that God would hand them a holy land and make them to be a sacred people) (Diffen n. pag.). Christianity developed from the Judaism religion in ...

Malcolm X was initially known as Malcolm Little at birth in Omaha Nebraska, on 19th May 1925. However, he changed the slave name ‘Little’ and adopted X a representation of unknown when he joined the ‘Nation of Islam’. His father was Reverend Earl Little and was a Baptist Minister and also served as an organizer for Marcus Garvey Universal Negro Improvement, which was a black separatist association in the early 1920’s. His civil rights activism against white supremacy prompted numerous death threats forcing relocations when Malcolm was very young. However, he was later killed when Malcolm was thirteen years. After the ...

In earlier generations, the issue of divorce among the Christians and was not common in the general public. This is not like what is being experienced today. There is a rise in divorce amongst Christians and in the general public. Infidelity is something that is common among Christians and is the reason why divorce is being seen. The issue of divorce has sprung the church so much shocked that every Christian has encountered it at one point of their Christian lives. In the past, the effort to deal with divorce in the Bible has not been achieved as the issues ...

Italian renaissance art was greatly represented by artistic human forms and Biblical themes. Theology was an important thing in Europe during these times and it influenced the artists as well. These paintings were mainly three-dimensional such that they exhibited human forms in their right proportions (Nichols 28). Artists took time to study their objects so as to give the paintings a life-like quality. These new techniques improved the painter’s art as they could influence the society as a whole. Biblical paintings were highly valued in churches such that they were incorporated in cathedrals. This paper aims at discussing some of ...

The text is all about the interpretation of what can be obtained from artistic work. The work of art tells more beyond just mere pictures, this is one of the reasons as to why it is used in literature to deliver information and meaning into the society. The text thus addresses the fact that the hidden meaning in artistic work can be obtained prior to the effect of human knowledge and experience with artistic work. Talking notes is a phrase used to depict the capability of an artistic work says a statue to deliver intended information as if to possess ...

The book of Revelation is not the most popular book of the bible and many skip through it claiming it is too hard to understand. Others have said that chapter 20 is too controversial and as such a uniform interpretation will never exist Some theologians have claimed that the book of Revelation was not written in a chronological manner and that Revelation 20:1-6 does not immediately follow Revelation 19:11-21 but rather it deals with the same events albeit from a different angle. While the later has been claimed to speak on the destruction that came upon Jerusalem in 70 AD and the ...

There are many theories, on how mankind appeared on Earth. However, from the dawn of human civilization, it was divided onto two main groups: The one which believed in Religion and God, another one – more realistic, well-grounded with the fundamental studies that side with science and nature. Religion – is a vital component of humans’ cultural heritage. It is a phenomenon, which is inherent in human society throughout its history and encompasses almost the entire world's population, it turns out, however, to be an area that is still not completely understood by many people. One reason for this seemingly strange fact is ...

Paul makes it clear on the application of the spiritual gifts. These spiritual gifts should be shared thereby ensuring life in faithfulness and fruitfulness is achieved within the community. These spirits were to be shared without any jealousy or envy concerning what gifts certain people within the community have benefited from. You are expected to let your emotions of deep affection for fellow beings come to real manifest and view others as more vital than yourself. Be joyful in hope and pray regularly- Life in the Spirit- We are under law to live a pleasing life, though it seems we ...

Nothing in the world is as fascinating and interesting as religion. There are several religious groups that have their own beliefs and teachings that they belief are the only right one. It is through this keen and critical view that faith can be looked into. Christianity during the patristic period was more diverse than anyone can imagine. There were very many groups that had different approaches towards Jesus Christ which happens to be the blueprint for their beliefs and way of worship. In the book Lost Christianities by Bart Ehrman, Christianity is put on the spot. Ehrman seeks to ...

Traditions are among the characteristic aspects of any given community. They define different seasons, moments, beliefs as well as the behavior of the members of the society in question. However, most people do not understand the origins of the traditions that they practice or the different beliefs that they hold. This paper explores the origin of different traditional elements among which are Easter, Christmas, wedding ceremonies and the concept of Satan. Easter is one of the oldest holidays within the Christian setting. Cline believes that Easter has both pagan and Christian roots (1). The Pagan aspects of the ...

Introduction Terrorism has been a global contemporary issue as the number of terrorist acts has been on the rise in the recent past as more radical and fundamentalist groups have embraced it as a means to an end. Scholars have differed on a standard definition for terrorism due to varying perceptions on what it entails and its intended outcomes (Fisher & Wicker, 2010). Terrorism can be described as the methodical application of intimidation through threats and violence with an aim of actualizing political, religious or ideological ends. It is a premeditated form of conflict that seeks to influence the actions and decisions of ...

The most outstanding concept that stands out when reading through the Hebrew bible is God wants his followers to devote themselves to him and him alone. There is always a common notion in the Christian circle that God is a selfish God. The Hebrew bible has not fallen short of proving that. God demands that those who claim to follow him should be ready to let go of all the worldly pleasures and follow his ways. This message was cross cutting amongst all the people that were mediums between him and the Israel nation time and again. In the books ...

Introduction Christian Science and Scientology have had conflicting beliefs, prompting believers in each group to accuse the other of being a cult. The two groups have different beliefs and principles concerning salvation. Comparisons can be carried out to establish the similarities and differences between scientology and Christian Science.

According to Christian Scientists, salvation is an attainment of something spiritual. Salvation involves truth, life, love and it prevails over death, sickness ad sin. When salvation is attained in one’s life, they demonstrate truth, love, salvation and life. Their conscience is also freed from earthly things like sin, death and ...

Although the modern United States is known as a secular society with separation of church and state, the role of faith and churches remains strong within its citizens. That the role of the church remains strong with society would likely surprise late 19th century philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, who seemed to believe Christianity would disappear altogether in favor of the newer developments and explanations provided by science and philosophy. Throughout the 20th century and ever since, the secular nation of America has produced millions of astounding innovations, vast scientific progress, and advances in civil rights. It has been over a century since ...

She was also a Pentecostal preacher and traveled extensively throughout the Midwest and the northeast speaking and singing her message. She is renowned for her famous speech “Ain’t I woman” that she delivered in 1851 at a women’s right convention in Akron, Ohio. This short and powerful speech is the subject of this paper. The paper will analyze the speech taking into account the historical background of Truth and its bearing on the speech. Suffice to say, the ...

The purpose of this essay is to reveal knowledge on the importance of the environment and its preservation or restoration, as well as, enlighten on the role Christians should take to preserve the environment and world around us. The positive effects of preservation and restoration in the environment can hold a God-like quality; in the sense that, Christians who are taught to preserve the body, as God created it, should also be taught preservation of their surroundings. While the Bible talks of sins and its impact on people and government, the role of sin within the environment is evident, as ...

Every crime has its own punishment. Nowadays, minimum sentences are often legislated. However, some punishment can be unfair considering the crime. Indeed, all crimes have to go through the judgement system, and the judgement will be based on the country’s constitution or the state’s laws. The punishment methods for very serious crimes include capital punishment and solitary confinement. Currently, the prison system focuses on punishment when, in fact, they should offer opportunities for work, education, and rehabilitation of prisoners. I think that the death penalty must occur in some cases. However, solitary confinement should be prohibited because ...

Ethics refers to the branch of philosophy that deals with values relating to human conduct especially with respect to the wrongness or rightness of actions and also to the badness or goodness of the cause and ends of such actions (Franena, 1973). An ethical system is a set of correlated values that concern preferable modes of conduct. In other words an ethical system could refer to “a map of the good life” or “ground rules” that aids a person to make the right decision when in a dilemma. Several philosophers such as Emmanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, and Jean Jacques Rousseau have over ...

Baldwin’s Go Tell it on the Mountain, and Morrison’s Home are two Interesting to read literatures. Each book brings its own uniqueness to the table. Indeed, in both books, there is a brilliant course in regards to exploring their examinations of race, family, and religion. It is obvious that Baldwin is clearly the frankest of the two (however not essentially the most prevailing for that). However, America’s most celebrated novelist, Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison lengthens her philosophical point of view on our history with his story of redemption. Baldwin's first main masterpiece, a story that has founded itself ...

The racial riots took place in Malaysia in the year 1969 and this was followed by the New Economic Policy which was announced by the Malaysian Government in the year 1970. The plan was brought into effect in the year 1971 and set certain objectives to deplete poverty regardless of ethnicity and race and society restructuring n order to attain inter-ethnic economic equality between the predominantly Chinese non – Bhumiputera and the predominantly Malay Bhumipetera. The implementation of the New Economic Plan in Malaysia leads to partially abandoning the laissez faire policy in this country. State intervention was encouraged ...

Attitude is an important element of individual behavior in organizations. Attitude is the medium by which an individual gets to express his or her feelings or emotions, situations or ideas. If an employee states that he or she is being underpaid then this expression of him/her is the attitude the person has towards a particular situation (Griffin, 2012). A person may be very dissatisfied, introvert or negative in a job setting but extremely happy, satisfied and outgoing in another. This depends upon the situation and environment that the individual finds himself in. Whenever an organization tries to analyze the reason ...

Tax deferral is an opportunity that many United States companies have taken advantage of. The citizens who have invested on such companies have also benefited from it. It refers to a situation where companies are allowed to pay their taxes at a future date. This payment is sometimes extremely important for such companies. One of the recent proposals by the American government is to abolish deferral corporate taxes. There are many arguments raised for and against this proposal. This research paper will evaluate the benefits and costs associated with this proposal. Many united state companies have branches in other countries ...

It is for this reason that the organization needs to decide the function, which is most significant, and later resolve a range of formulation issues. The budgetary systems will be used in evaluating managers' performances and at the same time, tie their bonuses to the attained targeted goals. However, while the company is extensively concerned with operational efficiency, it should focus on the control and coordination of various aspects of budgeting. The extent to which a budget ...

The hurricane Sandy was predicted three days earlier and announcements made by the mayor of New York. The subway system was closed down and major highways were shut too. This was to prevent any major disaster happening since the officials knew that the New York transport system would not withstand the impacts of the catastrophe. The subway system is 108 years old and has never met such conditions as hurricane sandy presented (Shah, 2012). The subway system in the flooded within hours of the hurricane and efforts to make it usable might last up to four days. There is ...

Documentary filmmaking is a matter of perspective. Few examples exist of strictly objective and scrupulously balanced documentary considerations of a given subject or issue. This would, after all, amount to little more than straightforward journalism, and a simple recounting of facts. But Michael Moore’s tactics, the film’s exaggerated line of questioning and the mock serio-comic tone that Moore adopts in his narrative clearly identify Roger & Me as anything but journalistic. In a 1990 New York Times review, Richard Bernstein noted that “Mr. Moorewas no more operating within the standard framework of journalism than was Jonathan Swift when he wrote his ‘Modest ...

Outsourcing refers to the practice of delegating to a third party the performance of some parts of the value chain that used to be done in-house. The make-or-buy decision is usually based on the cost-benefit analysis and aims to eliminate non-value adding activities or processes that the company does not have competitive advantage in. It is possible to distinguish between onshore and offshore outsourcing. Onshore outsourcing implies that the partner companies are located in the same country, while offshore outsourcing or offshoring implies that the outsourced activities are going to be performed by foreign entities (Jacques, 2006).

Originally outsourcing was ...

Michelangelo was an artist of tremendous talent and vision. Accounts left by his father, masters and friends undoubtedly confirm this statement . Through his work as a painter, an architect and above all, as a sculptor, Michelangelo managed to single out art as a vocation and an occupation in itself, separating the job of an artist from the job of an artisan. Michelangelo believed that an artist’s duty was, above all, to reflect the beauty that universally resided in the natural world; primarily defining himself as a sculptor, he humbly proceed towards unlocking the images he thought were merely “blocked in the stone”. ...

According to Nye (p.52), the 21st century global power keeps on shifting from states all the way to the non-states participants, besides shifting east-west. These power changes can either be transition which is power change among the states and power diffusion which is change from either east or west states to non-state participants. Power has two divisions which are; hard power and soft power. Hard power is define as the act of changing people’s position towards an individual’s side by using financial coercion, threats or inducements (Bohorquez, “Soft Power”). Soft power is the ability to ...

Looking at the disunity of the Caribbean region, I could not help but wonder whether the cultures of the inhabitants of the area have anything to do with the problem. Just as there are many different communities in the region, so are the diverse cultures. To aggravate the problem, the people in the Caribbean are not ready to accept change. They seem to value what they term as their sovereignty. As each group seeks to keep its sovereignty, it so happens that there is no room for unity. The situation is so bad that even in some unified countries ...

Throughout history, slavery was always a brutal, violent and coercive system of forced labor, but plantation slavery in the Americas was the harshest version of all, particularly in the sugar-producing areas of Brazil and the West Indies. Over 90% of African slaves were sent to these areas and the death rate was so high that the African slave trade continued to supply them illegally into the 19th Century even though it had been officially abolished. Aristocratic elites of large landowners dominated all slave societies, which tended to be politically authoritarian in nature. Slavery was also a profitable and expanding institution at ...

The Puritans of the 17th century remained an extremely patriarchal people; their primary goals were to glorify God and place their earthly passions behind them, all the while placing men in positions of authority, leaving women little choices for activities and positions (Bremer, 1976). According to Edmund Morgan, "the central Puritan dilemma was the problem of doing right in a world that does wrong." If this is to be believed, then the works of many important Puritan authors would express this dilemma through prose - their feeble attempts to make right this flawed world that they lived in. In this ...

In today’s world, people follow many religions. Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam make up five of the most followed religions in the world (Diversity Committee, n.d., slide 5). It is interesting to compare and contrast the creation stories of these five religions in order to better understand them and develop some personal thoughts about them. According to the Buddhism, the world’s creation began when a queen from the kingdom of Sakyas had a dream about a silver elephant entering her womb, and when the queen recounted her dream to some priests; they predicted that she would have a son. ...

According to Coogan (281), the kings and the prophets in the Old Testament had their roles and responsibilities which were well explained and distinguished from each other. The Kings had three distinctive roles as seen all through the old testament. First of all, they were supposed to be political leaders. That is, they ruled over the people and made sure that law and order was maintained throughout Israel. Secondly, they acted as military leaders. This meant that when the people went to war, the king had to accompany them, such as King David did (Jewish Bible, 1 Kings 1-3). ...

Women have important roles to fulfill in their families. Their duties have been greatly influenced by culture, myth and society standards. Today, their roles have evolved into a range of responsibilities. From the past, women have been at the forefront working alongside their male counterparts as they perform the housework and take care of their children. In fact, women in the recent days have worked hard to not only do works previously defined for them but have gone further to perform duties that people believe is meant for men. The idea that women can only perform housework while men are ...

According to the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, PTSD is “a debilitating condition that follows a terrifying event.” Habitually, individuals with PTSD have tireless alarming thoughts and memories of their experience for months or years after the event. There are varying statistics on how many American soldiers who have returned from Iraq have since suffered from PTSD. However, according to the Lizette Alveraz, this number could be as high as one in five. Interestingly, of these, only a little over half have pursued mental health treatment (Alveraz).

There are a variety of treatments available for PTSD. Some of these include ...

The African diaspora refers to emigrants of African descent living in Europe, America and the Middle East. Historically, the term African diaspora predominantly referred to African descendants enslaved in the Americas; currently, the term African diaspora even includes people who voluntarily migrated from Africa. At some point in human history, many black people from Central and West Africa were transferred to the Americas to serve as slaves. This group of people largely constitutes the African diaspora. In the last few decades, historians have differed in characterizing the African diaspora. This has led to the raging debate explained using the ...

Augustus’ supremacy brought about a firm ground of reign which stayed for about fifteen hundred years (Shotter 65). That is through the weakening of the Western Roman Empire and until the fall of Constantinople in the year 1453.

Augustus legacy as a politician, empire builder and cultural advocate was well magnificent. Just to begin with, after his death the new rulers of the Roman Empire both in old and new Rome for fourteen centuries decided to use his name (Augustus) as ...

Cisco is a California-based company that provides networking solutions and equipment. It was founded in 1984 and started operations by providing a multiple-protocol router software (Cisco).

In The Kite Runner, notions of community run steadily throughout the book. One of the most definable traits of community is the interdependence of individuals, and taking action to benefit others in their community at little to no gains for the self.

Throughout the book, characters do things for each other and take care of each other to support their community; conversely, characters who do not behave in the best interests of the community feel guilt because of ...

In domestic policy, the early proposals for the expansion of the federal government into the social and economic sphere came from progressives, populists and socialists like Eugene Debs.

According to the author of the book ‘Everyone Eats’, food ways also change with time, although the change is usually slow. The author has cited several factors that drive change in foodways, namely environment, health, economics, family and work dynamics, politics, religion, style and permanent taste change. He believes that necessity or economic pressures have most often driven changes, not taste. This explains the gradual shift of many nations towards consumption of coarse, inferior and nutrition-poor rations. But there are also cases where surface changes have led to change in foodways, eventually. These changes are usually cultural – voluntary ...

The sense of taboo and intrigue that accompanies sex with members of one’s family has made appearances in literature throughout much of human history. Beginning with the ancient prohibitions against sex with various family members in the Levitical laws in the Old Testament, it is clear that the sexual instinct has been driving people to cross family lines just about as long as people have been on the planet. Oedipus Rex is so unrealistic in many of its premises – how would Oedipus have forgotten, for example, that he was prophesied to kill his father and marry his mother ...

Rebranding is an expensive process for any company and the reasons for pursuing the activity are often as obvious as they are illusory. Often times a new logo, new packaging, etc. are introduced just to give a boost of renewal to the product or service. In such cases, the graphics design is enhanced or upgraded according to the latest trend and technology, making subtle changes to the existing design.

The divine decree relates only to God’s opera ad extra or transitive acts. The divine decree, consequently, comprehends only those events that occur in time.

Application

In our Christian walk, we must always take into consideration the fact that the attributes of God are a direct reflection upon events in time. As we strive to be good Christians, we must be aware of the temporal ...
