books are the same whether the writer was Christian or Pagen ("Christian Reflections" 1). If the process is the same‚ both genres would be the same. They both have a topc and storyline that is easy to follow‚ no matter that the topics are different. If all genres are the same in the bones of literature‚ then nonreligious books also have a religious code embedded in them. Lewis wrote that everyone has an ethical code‚ no matter religious or otherwise ("Christian Reflections" 51). A book does not have

1. In the examination of early Christian works‚ one can make inferences concerning their beliefs in addition to the distinct implications that are found. Such inferences can be made by exploring major concepts relating to early Christian art‚ markedly the lack of images portraying crucifixion‚ resurrection‚ and the nativity of Christ. One can infer that due to the lack of these three concepts as well as the religion still being considered a cult‚ they were required to hold congregations in private

differences can be seen. The idea of the Christian Hell has evolved from older beliefs. Originally Jews believed all dead people went to a gloomy place called Sheol. During the time of Christ‚ Jews then believed the wicked were separated from the good and put into a foul burning valley called Gehenna. The idea of Gehenna was created for reasons of justice. People realized that the wicked people are not always punished rightfully during their life on earth. The Christian Hell has the same principles today

The identity of Good Christians in medieval Europe defied the authority of the Roman Catholic Church. Unlike the monastic orders of the Church‚ they lived and preached in the world. They exhibited a righteous lifestyle and teachings that threatened the influence of the Church. The Good Christians contrasting beliefs were heretical in the eyes of the Catholic Church.

I think that a real Christian teaches others the way of Christ‚ but also realizes that they themselves also have room to grow. They also are not hypocritical to what they are teaching. A verse that I think helps support this is 1 John 4:20: "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar.

Based on my own Christian worldview‚ that the Bible‚ the Word of God‚ is the absolute truth‚ and the answers and directions in life can be found within it. Kring‚ Johnson‚ Davison‚ & Neale‚ (2014) define psychopathology as the nature‚ development and treatment of mental disorders. Personally‚ I feel best describing psychopathology as labeling what we do not quite understand or attempting to define the imperfections of humans. In the Bible‚ we are taught that we are created in the image of God
