A Key Theme from “The Epic of Gilgamesh”, “Lila” and “Holy Bible”

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia. It is often considered as one of the most ponderable works of literature. The literary history of the poem begins with five Sumerian poems about “Gilgamesh”, who was a king of Uruk. Then, these above-indicated separate stories were used as a major source material for a combined epic. The principal character was two-thirds god and one-third man. He built prodigious and dignified temple towers, which surrounded his city with high walls. Although he was physically immensely strong and beautiful as well as very prudent mentally, but as a ...

Outsourcing manufacturing activities from a local community to the developing countries is a decision that raises different opinions for varied organizations, community members as well as the workers in the foreign nations. The ethicality of the whole process needs to be considered in such a way that the process does not have adverse consequences to the progress of the community. Several scholars have related the process of outsourcing manufacturing to a developing country with the need for an organization to reduce on the cost of production as well as exploit the labor readily available in the developing nations.

Both were accused of blasphemy. Socrates was charged with dishonouring the Greek’s God, while Jesus was accused of being made himself ...

Christianity is one of the Abrahamic religious biased on the teachings of the New Testament. Christians believe that Jesus died for their sins, was buried to offer salvation to all those who receive him by faith. This is according to first Corinthians 15:1-4.

“The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin

In Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” the author paints a rather effective picture of heartbreak. However, rather than showing the devastation of Louise Mallard’s devastation upon hearing news of her husband’s accidental death in the train wreck, Chopin takes an unexpected turn. As the reader experiences Louise’s shock at the news of her husband’s death one is led to believe that she is overwhelmed with shock and unable to comprehend the tragedy of becoming a widow. Instead, as the final scene in the story unfolds the reader is made aware ...

Christianity, after the resurrection of Jesus went through a lot of phases before it was transmitted from Ancient Israel to Europe as the main religion. This period is generally viewed as the era of “early Christianity”. In this period, Christianity was viewed by most Romans as a sect of Judaism as such, it was criminalized with severe sanctions like torture and death for practitioners. Due to this, Christianity was practiced secretly in the underground and many women were involved in it. The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze the role of women in early Christianity.

The term worldview involves the all-round comprehension of the world from a certain point of view.

Moreover, it serves as the basis for daily decisions, and therefore appears to be of great importance. In this way, a worldview is a philosophical system that aims at explaining the interconnection and interplay of the facts permeating the surrounding world. As ...

The origin of the Gothic art can be traced back to the 12th century. This art developed along with the emergence of Gothic architecture throughout Europe and underwent experiments over the course of the next centuries until it gave way to Renaissance art. This art form relied on various media including but not limited to panel painting, sculpture, fresco, glass, manuscripts and monuments. Undoubtedly, this art form was of typological nature and was initially developed as a Christian art performed on the walls of Cathedrals and abbeys. Among the numerous Gothic works, Jan Van Eyck’s ...

The eighth and ninth Byzantium was one of the most unfortunate in the history of art and architecture. The growth of art and architecture was partially stunted due to the desire to attain political correctness. In that period, political correctness meant following the edicts issued by the emperor. During that time, the emperor issued an edict banning the use of icons. One of the icons that would have drawn a lot of controversy in the eighth and ninth-century Byzantium is the icon of the Virgin and Child Enthroned between Saints and Angels. The Icon is found in the Monastery ...

Introduction

Society has been distinguishing the concepts of good and evil since the ancient times. So, we can say that it had a specific morality - the system of moral relations, feelings, and consciousness. The morality is the central question of ethics, and still relevant to our society. Among the ethical systems I have learned, there are virtue ethics, utilitarianism, social contract, deontology with goals (Hinduism and Buddhism), deontology with divine authority (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), relativism (individual and cultural), and deontology with a categorical imperative (Kant). So, I would like to say a few words about each of them.

Use of religious icons (images) in the Byzantine Empire in the period of 8th and 9th centuries brought a dispute known as iconoclastic controversy. Several reasons were tabled by iconoclasts to back their reasons to object to icon worship. The picture provided is of Mary the virgin and supposed Baby Jesus plus angels and saints. This is the type of icon whose use was prohibited by the early church and, therefore, is sure to have gotten opposition in the period of the church. Some of the reasons being the possibility of idolatry and prohibition against images in the Bible, ...

The term ‘worldview’ simply refers to an individual’s perception of the world around him, which is often based on the existing knowledge that he has accumulated over the years. As observed by scholars, people do not possess a ‘tabula rasa’ or blank mind when it comes to the natural world around them since they have their own opinion and values as shaped by their “socio-cultural environment or from previous educational experiences”.

What role did Christianity play in Black communities during the colonial era to 1829?

Introduction Christianity played major roles in Black communities during the colonial era to1829. The black in the United States had been degraded into a miserable life of slavery. This degradation put them under very cruel conditions unlike their white counterparts. Thus, Christianity played a major role in the black communities at this time. Since most African slaves came from different regions in the continent, they lacked a common culture on which to coalesce. Their home religions and cultures had initially respected deities from where they came. Thus, Christianity acted as a representation of their ancient African traditions. The Africans ...

Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin through the Eyes of Popular Culture and Religion

[Introduction] Popular culture and religion have the same thing in common: symbols. Symbols are an inherited system of notions that express in representation forms a people’s “knowledge about and attitude towards life” (Geertz 89). Being symbols, their meanings are defined by people in accordance to their popular culture or religion. Consequently, these symbols can get shared between popular culture and religion; while their meanings change (enhanced or diminished) in accordance to the strength of cultural or religious influence upon them. Meanwhile, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin or Life among ...

The current debate over the teaching on Universal Salvation did not come from a new Christian teaching but from an argument on issues seen in the old one. Outside the ancient Christian Church, however, the first attention to this teaching perhaps came from Hosea Ballou, an American pastor who co-founded the first Universalist church in the United States and later on attributed as the father of the American Universalism. He wrote in 1892 a book, which chronicled the history of universalism up to A.D. 553. The debate heated up when an evangelical philosopher, Thomas Talbott, who wrote in 1995 ...

The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment are best understood as conflicts between faith and reason. This statement is accurate because this time period began the separation of church and state and opened the floodgates for science to begin to become more important in society in the future. While it took some time for science and religion to completely separate, and it did not happen until much later, the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment were extremely important because they created the conflict in the first place. While this time did not completely separate reason and faith, it began to encourage people ...

Every culture has traits, but each culture would express those traits differently. There are 18 traits in total. Some of them can be grouped together, and others are very complex by themselves.

I think that morality and religion are two distinct or different concepts. Morality works through reason and conscience. It aims at determining what is wrong or acceptable in the society based on clear discussion and analysis. Religion aims at adhering to God’s will. People show support and adherence to God’s will through practicing faith and obedience to God based on the religious teachings. Morality can be questioned and even subjected to intelligent debate. However, God’s will is rarely questioned. Religious followers are only expected to follow the set teachings. Most religions like Christianity and Muslim; for ...

The value of a Bible to a Christian is at the core of his or her faith and its teachings influences a Christian’s life . From the study of the Bible cutting through both the Old and the New Testaments different use of the theme of “Son of God” is conspicuously noticeable.

From a Biblical perspective, tracing the use of the theme “Son of God”, one gets varied representations in the use of the phrase. ...

Mysticism is a feeling like no other that is very important and personal so not all of the experiences occurring are reported in any formal location.

During an unsolicited mystic experience many reports contain the loss of self and a bright light. The light appears to be a constant in the mystic experience if we define it as an experience that transcends the natural life everyday type of experiences. ...

However, most historians claimed ...

Whether or not God exists is one of the most foundational questions humans have asked. While the traditional scientific viewpoint is that conclusively demonstrating whether or not there is a God is impossible, a number of philosophical and theological arguments have emerged that have attempted to do just that – recognize that God does exist and prove it through an argument. Soren Kierkegaard was one such philosopher. He argued that while God exists, his existence could not be proven and only grasped through faith. Other philosophers and theologians have gone even farther than Kierkegaard and have argued that God’s ...

Based on the readings, it was rather ironical that the religious missionaries helped in the promotion of colonization as well as the institution of slavery and oppression while they preached about Christian values.

It will be useful to start with how power and religion has helped in fostering the foundation of colonialism. When the Europeans set out to colonize regions outside their sphere, it was their goal ...

Christmas Day is an annual Mass celebrated by Christians to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
