Ephesians Vs. Colossian
Ephesians is a letter listed within the Pauline tradition that resembles Colossians and is disputed regarding Paul being the true author. Although it closely resembles Colossians, Ephesians is not as highly doubted that Paul wrote it. The reason for this is because Ephesians differs in vocabulary, literary style and theology. However, despite its similarities with Colossians, Ephesians presents a different view on the union between the Church and Christ. In this letter it is heartfelt and loving as it’s main theme is the union of all creation with Christ. Elected by God, redeemed by God, and we share in God’s inheritance. These are terms Paul uses in the book of Ephesians to give readers an understanding of their relationship to God. In describing

    When one views the life of the Apostle Paul in the New Testament it is evident that he had a heart to disciple others. The evidence at hand identified Paul as more than an individual who had doctrinal knowledge, for he was the quintessential model for living out the standards of Christian behavior. In his letter to the Church of Philippi Paul encourage them to “Whatever…

    1 & 2 Corinthians: Zondervan's Illustrated Bible: Book Analysis

    Unlike most commentaries which immediately throw the reader into a verse-by-verse dissection of the epistles, the authors begin each half with a brief overview of the letter. The summary includes a brief history of the city of Corinth, an explanation of the cities religious practices, and the issues that are addressed in Paul’s letters as well as how the two relate to one another. These summaries are very well written and on their own, while they wouldn’t make much of a book, provide the reader with incredible insight of Corinthian culture and the context of the letters, and are perhaps the defining trait of this…

    Journal Article Critique

    David McLeod has written this journal article in large part in response to a number of writers who have charged that the present work of Christ has largely “been neglected” [1] by systematic theologians of the church today. In McLeod’s estimation such neglect would not be understood by the New Testament authors, as Christ’s present work was one of their most important themes in the New Testament. McLeod states that, “The purpose of this article is to examine the work of one of those authors, the epistle to the Hebrews, and to outline its contribution to the subject.”[2] McLeod gives three reasons for his study. First, no theme that was central to apostolic Christianity can be overlooked, second, added attention…

    Sydney Carton Quotes

    Six carts, all filled with prisoners to be executed, rumble along the streets of Paris. The death carts are to be dispatched to La Guillotine. The streets are bundled and clustered with people to see the final Evremonde be put to death. The crowd is brimming with adults, children, elders, but no Madame Defarge. A perfect victorian woman stands lost in the crowd with her beloved father, covered in dismay, too shook to commiserate her. Lucie finds it quite shocking that Madame Defarge is not at the scene, for she provoked her husband’s execution. There she stands with her clear, watery eyes, full of anguish, not ready for what she is about to witness.…

    The New Testament begins with Paul’s three missionary journeys, in which his mission was to plant churches and teachings about the Lord. It is safe to say there were many other great church planters after the death of the apostle Paul, such as Peter and John. I plan to elaborate on the main issues facing each of the churches addressed by the General Epistles.…

    Analysis of the Message of the New Testament

    “What is the New Testament?” “Is there one New Testament Message?” F. F. Bruce addresses these questions in his book, The Message of the New Testament. He answers the first question quickly in the prologue stating, “To Christians, it is the second and shorter division of their sacred scriptures, ‘God’s Word written’” (11). Bruce dedicates this work to answering the second question by dividing the New Testament into ten sections or chapters represented by one or more of the books of the New Testament. He considers the theme and distinct contribution each makes to what he considers the single overall witness of the New Testament that “Jesus Christ is Lord” (12). This paper will give specific attention to the contribution of the general epistles from Bruce’s viewpoint and a critical analysis of the importance Bruce gave to these books, as well as, the other books of the New Testament. Bruce was a lifelong New Testament scholar who has authored “many critical and devotional works, and serves as Editor for THE NEW INTERNATIONAL COMMENTARY ON THE NEW TESTAMENT” (back cover). He was Ryland’s Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester (back cover).…

    Analysis Of The Apostle Paul's Central Theological Thought: Romans And Galatians

    The Apostle Paul’s central theological thought is expounded rather systematically in two of his epistles, namely, Romans and Galatians. Neither the church nor the sacraments hold any place in Paul’s central thought. Paul’s primary theme in Romans is the basic gospel, God’s plan of salavation and righteousness for all mankind (1:16-17). Paul’s thought is expounded in the framework of the salvation history of God. The main themes which constitute his central thought are God’s grace and love, redemption through the atoning death of Christ on the cross, reconciliation, and justification by faith through grace rather than by keeping the law given through Moses. “Justification” means, for Paul, “being declared as righteous” by God. The core of Paul’s central theological thought is expressed in Romans 3:20-24:…

    The New Perspective Paper

    There has been much contrast seen in Pauline studies between Paul’s gospel and his thoughts on Judaism. By understanding these contrasts and determining what Paul was thinking, readers may be able to better interpret Paul’s letters regarding works of the law, Jew and Gentile relationships, and faith versus works. The two perspectives that will be addressed in this paper include the Old Perspective and the New Perspective. This paper will define what each view presumes, how the views affect our interpretation of Paul, and which perspective I agree with.…
