Over the years the St. Johns River has acquired a bad reputation for being nasty or dangerous. Anything from flesh eating bacteria from algal blooms to bull sharks have been rumored to be lurking in its waters. Though some

Theology in The St. John Passion Eric T. Chafe writes that “music scholarship has recognized that the structure of the (St. John) Passion...was carefully designed with a great deal of musico-theological intent.” That is to say‚ Bach was very purposeful in his efforts to portray John’s theological message through his music. This differs from his approach in the St. Matthew Passion‚ where a more Lutheran theology is presented. This is intriguing to note because “in the seventeenth and early eighteenth

Reading about him amazes me‚ his involvement in education was almost by accident‚ without ever consciously setting out to do so. He lived in a time when society was characterized by great disparity between the rich and the poor. Jean Baptiste de la Salle believed that education gave hope and opportunity for people to lead better lives of dignity and freedom. St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle came from a rich family‚ highly

Formal Analysis: The Metropolitan Museum of art boasts an impressive collection of art‚ among many other things. One piece that stood out the most was Saint John the Baptist Preaching‚ by Mattia Preti.
