The true essence of conflict is derived from the very thing we have no control over‚ what we fear. It often alters the way in which we act or manage situations and can provoke uneasiness. It is in these moments we’re fear tends to make or break us. Many of those who experience conflict often feel a sense of powerlessness and insecurity. In the text Cry freedom‚ conflict is the corner stone around which the text is moulded. Several factors can be labelled as a trigger for conflict‚ however

Anabella Morabito 04/12/2015 Good News for Wo/men? This is the last reflection paper we will be writing for this course‚ and its focus is on Mary of Magdala. A focus which I find to be apt‚ in many ways Mary of Magdala represents what we have been exploring throughout the semester. How is the Gospel “good news” for wo/men? Honestly‚ if we only scratch the surface‚ it is not. Wo/men are unnamed‚ unrepresented‚ set aside‚ and disregarded in the vast majority of this collection of books which is

February 24th‚ 2011 The Last Days of Judas Iscariot Before seeing this play I did not know a lot about Judas. I only remembered that he was the one to betray Jesus from reading the Bible early on in my childhood for CCD. After seeing The Last Days of Judas Iscariot‚ it helped me better understand who Judas was and the kind of life he lived. I was not fully aware of his close relationship with Jesus. I simply understood that he was chosen as one of his twelve disciples. In the play it is

While there are some similarities between the plot of the film and the gospels‚ the persona of Jesus shown can be described as completely original. Instead of focusing on his divinity like in Luke or his miracles in Mark‚ this film explored the more human side of Jesus of Nazareth‚ who faced many of the same struggles every human does while on Earth. In modern Christianity‚ Jesus is often portrayed as someone who stands apart from and above humanity. “The Last Temptation of Christ” instead entrenches

In the text it states‚ “Amen‚ I say to you‚ one of you will betray me‚ one who is eating with me” (Mark 14:18). Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him‚ turn him over for money. This leads to the question‚ why did Jesus not confront his betrayer and condemn him? Jesus could have stopped Judas from capturing him‚ which would have spared his life. The fact that this divine human being did not spare his own life just amazed me. Not only was the fact that Jesus didn’t stop his betrayer odd‚ but

In the synoptic gospels‚ there are accounts of Jesus’ baptism. However‚ there isn’t a baptism found in the Gospel of John. John also states that Jesus began his ministry when he was about 45 and lasted for about nine months‚ while the synoptic gospels agree that he was 33 and it lasted three years. The Synoptic gospels also hold to a story that Jesus was lead into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan‚ but a similar story is not found in John. The synoptic gospels state that the last super was actually

Chapter 18 is an in-depth look at how Jesus was sentenced for the crime of claiming to be the Messiah and how Jesus died and was buried. This is again a very morbid chapter but does give insight into what he went through and all the factors involved with his death. Pontius Pilate was essentially the deciding factor in Jesus being convicted and sentenced to a crucifixion. This chapter talks about the severe agony that Jesus went through and how much he had to endure. The last chapter discussed how
