It set in place the notions and opinions that would describe the continent in the contemporary period. In central and northern Europe, activists like John Calvin, and Martin Luther questioned papal power and probed the Catholic Church’s capability to define Christian exercise.

Words have different definitions according to experience of those receiving the words. The meaning of the words nature has different connotations, and these connotations have changed according to the changing views of society.

This word morphed into the more current - at least in terms of language - “natura,” which has several different meanings. The first meaning of this root is the idea of birth. From a religious ...

Introduction

Ethics came from the Greek word ‘ethos,’ or character. In the modern context, ethics refer to the study of normative behavior. It is commonly understood as standards of behavior that ought to be followed under certain circumstances and the moral reasoning behind such actions. Ethics does not necessarily make people do good; nor is it an attribute that is only exclusive for good people. In fact, there are good people that exhibit unethical behavior, especially when under pressure. Professor and author, Denis Collins, for instance, observed that there are many good individuals who engage in unethical behavior because they ...

The Lord of the flies written by William Golding and Inferno by Dante Alighieri are allegorical books that expound common themes and similitude in the usage of styles.

In essence, the two novels delve to answer the question as to who is the real enemy of humankind. Though the two authors dexterously use different stylistic devices to answer the question, the convergence is that man himself is the worst enemy to each other. According ...

The church gets its disciples from the societies that surround it. In order to get these followers, the church has to convince them of gospel kingdom and make them tailor their ways of life just as it is taught in the bible. Hitherto developed disciples were once naïve and young Christians in the kingdom. Just as the military gets its personnel from a community at large, the church too does. This calling of new Christians into a church and teaching them on how to be true disciples can be seen as a recruitment process. This paper aims at ...

e The definition of the word “canon” was developed as a description for books that are divinely inspired and belong in the Holy Bible. The Bible was written by nearly 40 different writers over the length of 1500 years, which was why there was a considerable amount of difficulty in determining what was Biblical canon. What made it difficult was that the Bible did not explicitly state which books belonged in the holy text. Jewish rabbis and scholars were the first to conduct a process to determine the canon, which was later continued by the early Christians. Ultimately, God ...

The Epistle to Hebrews is one of the most beautiful parts of the New Testament. While there is no common opinion on its authorship, it is usually attributed to Paul the Apostle The speaker in Hebrews 10 acts as a teacher addressing his message to Jewish Christians who suffered from severe persecution (MacArthur, n.d.). He outlines the benefits of the New Testament in contrast to the old sacrifices (ultimate vs. temporary forgiveness) and urges Hebrews to shore up their faith. According to Mitchell (2007), the message is presented in the form of exposition (10:1-18), suggesting Christ’s superiority to ...

As unique as Judaism and Christianity are within the religions of the modern world in their commonality, they are at the same time diverse. Monotheistic religions, they both share Jerusalem as their birth place. They both share the Old Testament as part of their Biblical foundations. Additionally, they share in having one day of the week serve as their Sabbath. As much as they share they are different.

Individuals on coming together to achieve a common goal make a team. In teamwork the common goal of the team is more important than the needs of individuals. Jesus constituted a strong team of twelve apostles.

Similarly, Jesus sent Peter and John for preparing the Passover meal. As team work is vital to achieve common organizational goals, the team members should demonstrate impeccable behavior patterns to follow in the footsteps of ...

I have read some lessons about basic Biblical Egyptology. It suggests that Moses was a legendary hero created by the Hebrews. It introduces basic information about the Pharaohs of Egypt and the course focused on the 12th, 17th – 19th dynasties. The text introduces short information about dynasties, suggests to pass the test to reveal knowledge. The main problem is that this information lacks details, it provides too short insight into dynasties and it is not enough to understand the topic. I believe that this lesson aim to provoke an interest in history and research additional information, but it doesn’ ...

It is difficult to make someone believe in something unprecedented, but the church was able to do it. It is difficult to keep the influx of non-believers, but the church was always doing so until the freedom of speech and thought, of course. Many simply believe, without even thinking about religion as such. Religion is a kind of reunion of the broken relationship with God, or lifestyle based on a belief in the supernatural power. Religious ideas, rules, basics are described in the sacred books, which allegedly have been dictated by God. Of course, no one can currently prove ...

Many historical recordings document the lives of people who have lived the life that our greatest example, Jesus Christ, spoke that a Christian should live. Many of these people have been leaders. Some have shown themselves not full of avarice, or greed, in keeping with Christ’s rebuke from the scriptures of Luke, and have shown no interest in making the house of God a “den of thieves” (Biblegateway, 2016). The Apostle Paul is a great example of a Christian who happened to be a leader, although he never held a particular office in the Christian Church building as ...

The word theology can be traced back to an amalgamation of two separate Greek words: θεος (god) and λογος (word).

While theology is in itself a field of study that can ...

A Christian marriage is centered on Christ’s teaching unlike other forms of marriages based on legal and secular aspects. The marriage binds two people to live in the image of Christ. Secular marriages are based on vows of legality and other ethical or social attributes acting as norms to the community. Christ does not play a role in their life during and after marriages. In this regard, the Christian marriages do not only define such aspects as the life after marriage but also make recommendations on controversial issues affecting it like divorce.
