The characterization of Beowulf is one of grandeur‚ portraying the king to be almost superhuman and greater than any other. The king goes through many trials saving people and performing miracles to prove his worth. The Beowulf poet attempts to draw a parallel between the leader and Jesus‚ although in vain. Beowulf is simply human‚ even the best human still pales in comparison to Jesus Christ. The character can be viewed as a Christ-like figure through his superhuman miracles‚ his greatest enemy

After reading “Jesus’ Two Natures: God and Man” by Matt Slick‚ I now have a better and more clear understanding of the relationship of Jesus’ human and divine nature. The common misconception‚ outlined in the text‚ is that Jesus is half man and half God. This simply is not true; Jesus has two very distinct natures: he is both divine and human. Jesus was the Word of God‚ and with that said‚ Jesus’s divine nature and ability did not alter when He became flesh. When Jesus became flesh and gained his

Jesus Christ is the self-proclaimed Messiah‚ and his mission was to follow God’s will‚ and spread the word about God’s will.

He was born in a manger according to the bible‚ but research suggests that he was more likely born somewhere else. Early in life he ran away from his parents

Beowulf Strength‚ courage‚ intelligent and loyalty are values shown in the Germanic heroic code. The heroic code allowed a warrior their true manhood.
