I used three Bible commentaries to better understand this passage. Those commentaries were Ellicott Commentary (online)‚ Barnes Commentary (online)‚ and the Benson Commentary (online). Ellicott Bible Commentary Ellicott’s Bible commentary tries to pinpoint in what village Jesus visited. Ellicott points out that one of the lepers was a Samaritan. Since one was a Samaritan it is probable that the village this story took place in was on the border-land of the two provinces. Ellicott finds it significant

Similar to the pattern viewed in Slaughterhouse-Five‚ the townspeople in a Chronicle of a Death Foretold also use their belief in fate to justify Santiago’s death. Their lack of responsibility leads to their ability to condone the killing. In striving to understand their place in the murder‚ they resolve to believe that it was inevitable and their attempts to stop it would have been ineffective. Because fate disencumbered them from their responsibility‚ they easily justify the killing. For example

To fully appreciate a play‚ one must put it into the cultural contexts of its time. One of the integral aspects of a piece of literary work is its religious base. Whether it is Christian‚ atheist or Daoist‚ religious contexts usually make a difference in the work. Hamlet is the same. The Shakespearian play is rather ambiguous with what form of Christianity it follows‚ uses religion to set up the tone of a character‚ and has religion as a major theme.

CHANGE: LEADING THROUGH TRANSITION‚ AMBIGUITY AND UNCERTAINTY There are many metaphors for change. I had been challenged one time at my church gathering to view change as a journey‚ from one place to another.

The Bible is filled with a wide variety of heroic figures who possess extraordinary qualities that seemingly enable them to perform exceptional acts. For this reason‚ many find them unrelatable and thus‚ do not strive to emulate their example. However‚ Biblical characters have flaws and traits that are no different than what average people have to offer. Instead‚ it is through God that a person can become a hero.

It Started With Hard Work November 10 2016 By: Jayden Thomas My Bible Quizzing experiences were usually fun‚ sometimes stressful‚ but I will say that in the end it was all worth it. The learning‚ the stress‚ and the pressure‚ changed me and made me realize an important lesson. That hard work is the ONLY way to truly be good at something.
