Paper Abstract: Examines biblical theme. How Jesus' association with specific social and cultural outcasts shaped Christian moral and philosophical content. Importance of the Redemption. Jesus' position as a Jew and outcast in Roman society. Jesus' challenge to Pharisee logic and Hypocrisy. Concept of inclusion. Outline. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to examine the biblical theme that associates Jesus with specific social and cultural outcasts, and how this shaped Christian moral and philosophical content. The central importance of the Redemption to the spiritual content of Christianity is difficult to overestimate. But the implications of the Redemption for Christians can be more fully appreciated to the extent they are captured by a more complete understanding of the social and political background of the gospels. For the Redemption cannot be considered in isolation; that is, it has to be understood as the culmination of the life and career of Jesus, which is full of evidence that the reason that Jesus was condemned to death in the first place had to do with the content of his teachings and the content of his behav Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: The role of women in the Bible. Primary women: Eve, Mary, Ruth, Mary Magdalene, Jezebel. Women playing secondary roles: Sarah, Rebecca, Miriam. The image of women in the Book of Revelation. Symbols of the true Church versus the idolaters in the guise of females. Good woman and sinful woman. Paper Introduction: With very few exceptions, the Bible -- both Old and New Testaments, is a male preserve. Take away Eve, the progenitrix of all females, Mary mother of Jesus, and noble Ruth who obeyed her mother-in-law and cared for her and the majority of women tend to be sluts, such as Mary Magdalene and Jezebel. Otherwise they played merely secondary roles, such as Sarah, Abraham’s wife, Rebecca, Lot’s wife who turned into a pillar of salt, and Moses’ sister, Miriam. That is the basic cast of female Biblical characters (excluding the witch of Endor, the Queen of Sheba and other cameo roles). None of Jesus’ disciples were female (thus the reason for no female priests in The Church). Women are usually by-standers, or symbols of something that men control. Perhaps nowhere is woman maligned more (with one notable excep Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Discussion of the prophetic book of the Bible. Controversy over who wrote the book, and when it was written. Interpretations of the text by three different groups: Reform Jews, political liberals and Christians. Issue of the Virgin Birth and the Messiah. Basis of the Book of Isaiah. Book's new definition of sin as social oppression. Paper Introduction: ISAIAH “Isaiah is generally regarded as the greatest of all the prophetic books of the Bible” (Podhoretz 2000 32). However, there are a number of investigations concerning this powerful book that deserve to be addressed. First of all, there is controversy about who EXACTLY wrote the book and when it was written. And, secondly, some critics complain that there are a number of “misrepresentations" to which the text has been subjected by three different groups to whom Isaiah is a special favorite: Reform Jews, political liberals, and Christians. Among the controversies is the belief that “Two different people wrote what is today known as Isaiah (called Deutero-Isaiah)” (Hoh 2000 1). Another critic writes that “The book of the Bible that has become the source of the most controversy between our two religions is t Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines Jewish and Christian interpretations of Hebrew Bible chapter. Historical and cultural background of scripture commentary. Jewish exegesis. The Midrash. Rabbinical commentary. Development of Christian exegesis in the apostolic period. Scripture relevant to Christianity if it was prophetic of Jesus. Concept of Christian truth. Augustine's "Confessions." Paper Introduction: This research examines early Jewish and Christian interpretations of the first chapter of the book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. The research will set forth the historical and cultural background in which Jewish and Christian scripture commentary arose and then discuss the basis for differences of interpretation of the Hebrew that began in the Christian era and that continued through the Middle Ages, with particular reference to Genesis 1.1-31. Jewish exegesis involves a complex interpenetration of scriptural texts and commentaries that have different emphases, and it involves a specialized vocabulary. The big picture of Jewish exegesis is that over a period of about 1,000 years rabbinical figures known as tannaim compiled texts and commentaries that were to be collectively identified as the Midra Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: How they differ. Theological concepts. Emphasis on Matthew's view of Christ as the Messiah promised in the Old Testament. Paper Introduction: The books of the Old Testament and those of the New have been closely studied for authorship and other historical evidence. The four gospels differ in many details regarding the life of Christ, including differences in details over his birth and death. The different writers selected and arranged material according to their different intentions. This creates some problems given that the story as a whole is not consistent. Matthew, Mark, and Luke have the same basic point of view and share more material than with the version of John. The first three are considered the Synoptic Gospels and are associated with the teachings of Christ as given in Galilee through his lifetime. The version of John is more associated with earlier teachings in Judea. The first three tell of the miracles accomplished by Christ, while John is more interested in the Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: “Mark of the Beast” (Revelations 13:11-18) Introduction to the ”Mark of the Beast” No book of the Bible sparks as much interpretive reading and controversy as the Book of Revelation. Of particular interest is Chapter 13, verses 11 through 18, which seeks to identify “the name of the beast or the number representing his name.” In addition to providing an overview of the Book of Revelation, this paper will examine different facets of wisdom and understanding that attempt to solve the “number of the beast.” Historical and Social C Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: His conversion, pattern of his ministry, Pauline themes, his imprisonment. Controversy re: authorship of Pastoral Letters. Paper Introduction: Saint Paul, also called Saul in Hebrew (Acts 713), was a leader of the early Christian movement and was instrumental in its spread throughout the GrecoRoman world in the years after Christ's death. He was born in Tarsus of Cilicia in Anatolia, probably between AD 1 and 10. Thirteen New Testament letters have been attributed to him, many of which show him adjusting Jewish ideas and traditions to new circumstances and measuring Old Testament laws by their relevance to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Among these are the so-called Pastoral Letters, including those to Timothy and Titus. The Book of Acts portrays Paul as the apostle to the Gentiles and the most prominent early Christian leader next to Saint Peter (Saldarini, 1993, online edition). Paul was born a Jew and trained to be a Pharisee, or a Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Presents biblical history as one of tensions between siblings. States that such rivalry is responsible for much of the dispersion of peoples & development of different nations. Paper Introduction: In the stories of various sibling groups in the Bible, we can see that one of the clear effects of sibling rivalry is the dispersion of peoples, serving as an explanation of why different groupings of people take place. The Bible explains the development of different nations and groups of people by reference to their seminal founders, usually brothers who fought and separated for some reason. Relations between siblings in Genesis tend to be antagonistic, often based on disputes about the right of succession in the family and about the way inheritance is divided. The story of Cain and Abel, the first siblings, sets the tone for the relationship. It is not that every pair of siblings leads to a murderous act, but rather that tensions between siblings produce a variety of crimes and other problems. As with the outcome of the story of Cain and Abel, one of the results in Read the Entire Essay.

Paul's impact on the Western world derives first from this role as apostle to the Gentiles and second from the power of the writings he produced in that capacity, writings which have continued to appeal to people and to explain the theology of the era.

Paper Abstract: Examines archaeological evidence associated with the story of Noah's Ark in Genesis, in context of story as myth or fact. Paper Introduction: Overview This research will examine archaeological evidence associated with the story of Noah's Ark told in Genesis. The Genesis story of Noah's Ark, which describes a great flood that destroys all life and civilization except for an extended family and the extended family of livestock in its care, is premised on the idea that the family patriarch, Noah, received instructions from God to build a gigantic boat, or ark. The ark serves as home and haven, allowing Noah, family, and animals to ride out the 40-day rain and the long-term flood that follows. When the waters recede sufficiently, Noah and family return the animals to the world and then reestablish a human presence in the world. No tangible record of Noah and the flood exists except in Biblical text. However, Noah and the flood narrative have been identified Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines the character, conversion, development, authenticity, historical & religious significance, academic interpretations & impact on Christianity of the author of Acts. Paper Introduction: The Pauline tradition begins with the man, Saul of Tarsus. His story is told to us in the Acts of the Apostles, with its dramatic conversion scene. Paul's story is of transformation from hater and persecutor of Christians to the foremost apostle of Christ in the new millennium. Who is Paul in the New Testament? There continues to be controversy about his contribution to the New Testament canon. Luke Johnson (1986) noted that there are at least three major issues that relate to Paul. The first basic issue is the question of where is the real Paul located. In which of the letters is the voice that of Paul, in which instances is the voice that of his followers? This is the question of authenticity, which is fundamentally irresolvable. It requires almost a prior decision about who Paul is in order to determine Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Relates how females are treated & assigned social & other roles in patriarchal early church. Paper Introduction: INTRODUCTION The role of women in the early church reflects the role of women in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. The attitudes shown toward women in scripture and in the way the early church developed show a certain ambivalence, seeing women both as a treasure to be protected and as a source of potential evil. These attitudes begin in Genesis with the story of the Creation and the Fall, and indeed much of what follows in terms of how women are viewed can be traced to the belief that Eve brought disease and death into a world that had been perfect before she was seduced by Satan. In the early church, women were relegated to a subordinate position for both reasons -- they needed the protection of men, and they were not quite trusted because of their potential for sin.

Paper Abstract: Compares causes & religious significance of world-destroying floods in Old Testament & ancient heroic epic. Paper Introduction: The similarities between the accounts of a world-destroying flood in the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Noah and the flood in Genesis 6-8 are very remarkable. The degree of similarity is so strong that it has frequently been suggested that the Biblical account owes its origin to the overall Babylonian tradition--which was written down earlier. But the question of precedence is nearly impossible to resolve since, though the composition of the Babylonian account may antedate that of the Bible, there is no way of ascertaining the age of the two accounts prior to the time at which they were given written form. In addition to the Gilgamesh, there are several other ancient middle-eastern literary accounts of a great deluge. These tales offer slightly weaker examples of correspondence with the Biblical account. As a group they certainly point to the Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes Biblical character as model for behavior for Jews of the Diaspora, her cultural & historical context, God's intervention in her life. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to examine the figure of Esther as a heroic character and a model for the Jews of the Diaspora in ancient and modern times. The plan of the research will be to set forth the background for the emergence of Esther's character in the subordinate position of Jews in the Diaspora in general and the subordinate position of Esther in particular, and then to discuss her interaction with others in and around the court of Persia, as well as her actions on behalf of her people, and how her behavior serves as an example of heroism for other Jews functioning in alien environments. In order to see how the heroism of Esther can be discerned and how it developed, it is useful to examine the background in which Esther's character came to be tested.

Paper Abstract: Examines New Testament & Christian teachings for signs of intolerance toward those of different religious beliefs. Paper Introduction: Christianity and Tolerance Introduction The first-century Mediterranean world, where Christianity began, was not a world in which tolerance was an important concept. According to Bruce Malina (1981), the people of this time and region shared a certain orientation toward the world that emphasized honor in terms of power, sexual status, and religion. They were dyadic people who derived their sense of self and personality by referral to external values and external evaluation. Their focus was aligning their own behavior with an external image of the appropriate behavior.

It appears throughout the Hebrew Bible and the intent in this paper is to briefly trace its appearance and consider its meaning to the community. Establishing the Covenant According to Bernhard Anderson (1957), two of the most important covenantal arrangements belong to the priestly, or P, tradition in the Biblical narrative. That tradition describes a divine plan that begins with the creation and continues with the covenant with Noah and then with Abraham. The final dispensation Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: Themes in Mark Introduction According to Luke Johnson (1986), the perception of the gospel of Mark has undergone much revision during this century. Mark's narrative was early considered the least sophisticated, but later came to be seen as using both narrative and language in an extremely sophisticated way to help redefine the categories of insider and outsider in the early Christian community. The focus in this paper is to explore some of the themes in Mark, including discipleship, the temple, and the use of the term "Son of Man".

There is also a more conscious focus on signs, such as the use of light and water. In these pages, the intention is to look at the temple theme in John, along with his use of the symbols of light, water, and representative figures.

Paul is concerned in the letters with educating the members of the communities of new Christians, along with correcting what he viewed as their theological errors.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes psalm for light shed on human-God relationship, parallels between Jewish & Christian interpretations, terminology, author's attitude, summary of 22 stanzas. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to examine Psalm 119, especially in terms of the theology it presents about the efficacy of God’s word for human salvation. The commentators consulted seem to be agreed that the Psalmist was thinking of the Torah as the preeminent manifestation of God’s word. However, since Jesus is proclaimed as himself being God’s Word in John 1:1, a Christian reading of this psalm is not forced. Rather, it becomes possible to see that the Torah and Jesus are parallel concepts in Jewish and Christian theology, respectively. Indeed, it may even be possible to find some connections between these theologies that are not confrontational, but instead respectful toward both traditions, and that could allow some insight into God’s compassion in his relentless pursuit of human salvation.

The Bible is a much older text, and the source of many of the books, stories, and even individual passages is in dispute to this day, while the Islamic world sees the Quran as the product of one man, Mohammed.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes Biblical character as hero & tragic figure, his character & virtue, sexuality, literary interpretations, relationship with Delilah compared to [Romeo & Juliet]. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to examine the Biblical hero Samson as a tragic figure. The plan of the research will be to set forth the narrative and cultural context for considering Samson in terms of tragedy and then to discuss the manner in which the establishment of Samson's heroic identity and of the interplay between that identity and the Samson-Delilah love story in the biblical narrative contributes to the view that Samson is best interpreted as a tragic figure. In this regard, comparisons will be made between the biblical narrative in Judges 13-16 and other stories of heroes and great loves in the Bible and other sources. The fact that Samson is intended as a character of heroic proportions is established in the first part of Judges (13:5), when the angel explains to Manoah's wife that she will bear a son who " Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines structure, point of view, style & meaning of Old Testament story of disobedience & redemption. Paper Introduction: This paper is an examination of the book of Jonah, which is part of the last books of the Old Testament that are known collectively as the Twelve. These are the writings of the so-called minor prophets, and scholars have long debated the reasons for grouping them in the order in which they appear. Jonah is a concise accounting of a prophet who tries to disobey God's command to warn the people of the non-Hebrew city of Nineveh of their impending destruction. The book appears between the accounts of Obadiah and Micah, and this placement has been chosen primarily for literary reasons. In its present place, Jonah's curious little tale stands as part of a larger story, warning the people of Israel of their obligations to the world as a whole. Although written at different points in history by different authors using different styles, these three books create an Read the Entire Essay.

It is the latter categories of God's Word, as revealed through the Bible, that appear to make it directly applicable to the study and practice of psychology. However, arriving at the most precise (and hopefully most valid) interpretations of the bible in general and its applications to psychology in particular is difficult because, as noted by Myers (1986): The language of the Bible is varied, ranging from the Read the Entire Essay.
