In Matthew 26:41 Jesus tells Peter that his heart his willing but his flesh his weak. This has been the story of the life of Peter portrayed by Matthew. There is no questioning his desire to follow and serve Jesus. However‚ readers are often left to wonder if Peter was bipolar because with his acts of greatest came the many mishaps. If we presuppose the validity of the two-source hypothesis‚ Matthew has drawn his materials on Peter at least partly from Mark. The latter puts greater importance on

Crivelli’s Madonna and Child represents a more human representation as the setting takes place in a room with familiar scenery and objects. The only hint of divine beings is the ever so light haloes around mother and child. Bellini’s Pieta‚ on the other hand‚ is encased in other worldly gold cameo of grief after Jesus is removed from the cross. Life‚ death‚ and divinity are

The Essence of Doom in Beowulf in Retrospect As the converse of Classic Greek mythology‚ Anglo-Saxon works‚ such as Beowulf‚ emphasize the role of doom as a primary downfall‚ as opposed to hamartia. These cataclysms are held as principal driving forces of the very being of Nordic mythology. Many critics declare that the sense of fated doom within the Nordic tradition does not convey as much literary eloquence as do the internal flaws that cause the downfall of classic epics of Greece. One may agree

The issue of the crucifixion and death of Jesus (Isa) is important to Muslims as they believe that Jesus will return before the end of time. Muslims believe Jesus was not crucified‚ but was raised bodily to heaven by God‚ a belief also found in the Gospel of Basilides. However‚ this view is disregarded as agnostic by Christians who only accept the 4 gospels contained in the New Testament as genuine. The other 28‚ seldom publicised‚ are viewed as heretical. Depending on the interpretation of the

Jesus Against Socrates Socrates‚ known as the famous Greek philosopher and one of the wisest people around‚ was looked at as being a very strong willed and “stand-by-his-opinion” kind of man. Jesus‚ on the other hand‚ was a man who went through his life not by blatantly expressing and sharing his wisdom‚ but by making his “students” think things through for themselves in order to gain understanding and wisdom in certain topics. Based on what is known about Jesus and Socrates‚ two major moral

I believe it is this that makes Beowulf such an enduring classic. Even though its author is unknown‚ his work has been loved and celebrated since its birth in the mid-seventh or late tenth century. Beowulf endures because it deals with the most noble‚ enduring theme of all; salvation. Beowulf‚ like King David‚ was a Christ figure‚ and both‚ though figures of great courage who were saviors in their own right‚ point to the Savior of Mankind‚ Christ himself. Beowulf. King David. The parallels are striking

Beowulf: Pagan or Christian? Beowulf is the first important work of English literature. It is composed around 700 A.D. by an unknown poet (Greenblatt‚ 36)‚ after the Anglo-Saxons were Christianized. The manuscript of the poem was seriously damaged in a fire; so several lines and words have been lost from the poem. One of the significant issues of this poem is whether or not it is a Pagan or Christian poem. Although the poem appears to have many Christian elements‚ it has roots in a Pagan past. The
