In Simply Good News‚ N.T. Wright presents the argument that the Gospel is in fact news‚ it is good‚ and applicable now. Moreover‚ Wright suggests that we currently occupy the space between what has taken place and the coming event that has yet to happen. These ideas are intricately woven with scriptural evidence in hopes of promoting an accurate view of the Gospel among Christians and non-Christians alike. The text begins with a description of the term ‘news’. “For something to qualify as news

An antagonist is defined as a person who is opposed to‚ or the "bad guy." In Cool Hand Luke and One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest the Captain and Nurse Ratchet played this role‚ respectively.

As stated by Cohn in her article " ’Endgame’: The Gospel According to Sad Sam Beckett" there is much evidence given relating to the many comparable instances between the Bible and Beckett’s "Endgame."

Darkness Found Within the Gospel of John and in Sophocles’ Drama Antigone As a child‚ my world was enraptured by the wonderful Fisher-Price toy known as the Lite-Brite.

The readings this Sunday come from the Prophet Jeremiah‚ Psalm Sixty-Three‚ The Book of Romans‚ and the Gospel of Matthew. The readings this week are not big on praise but they still have lessons that they can teach us. They give the message of offering ourselves for the greater glory of God.
