The question of the death penalty was relevant in varying degrees throughout the whole history of world governments. However, one should not overestimate its importance in today's global environment, which is characteristic of many politicians, legislators and academics.

Historically, the death penalty is "evolved" from the ancient custom of blood feud that is existed in pre-state societies and is expressed in the formula "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." ...

For this essay, I have chosen to formally compare The Crucifixion with the Virgin and St. John the Evangelist at Constantinople (Istanbul), Turkey and that which is at the Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul Naumburg, Germany. These two sculptural art works present the same iconography – one of the most important events in Christian history, which is the crucifixion of the Christ.

Films about religion have often been used as evangelical tools, telling the story of a particular religion with the impact and drama of the art of filmmaking. However, major motion pictures often run into a dilemma when conveying religious history and text on screen: finding the balance between fidelity to the source material and dramatic license. Many times, films about religion will take liberties in order to make a more dramatic story – for example, the film The Last Temptation of Christ takes the story of Christ and changes it to make Christ more human, more tortured by the call of being a messiah. ...

Baroque art has long been known for its lush and ornate style. It draws from the realism of the Renaissance and pushes the limits of art, sculpture, and architecture further than it had been pushed in the past. Perhaps another one of the defining aspects of Baroque art is the application of classical and even pagan themes into Christian art and iconography; although Christianity had long been borrowing from other cultures and religions for its iconography and symbolism, the adoption of symbolism in Baroque art surpassed what had been done in the past. The art of the Baroque period ...

This play only has five main characters, four soldiers and Jesus. Everyone who has watched the play, or has seen one using the same plot knows how it ends. These plays are questioned because of their “lack” of Biblical depth, not telling the story how it was really told in the Bible. This was seen in a more dramatized, at times comedic and highly gruesome kind of point of view. The focal characters were really ...
