    and The Bible The Bible and the church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of woman’s emancipation. A famous 19th century feminist named Elizabeth Cady Stanton voiced this about her struggle for women’s freedom. Women‚ considered a lower class than the men‚ wanted this subjugation changed. Part of the reason for the subjugation of women is that the Bible could be interpreted in many different ways to suit the needs of the interpreter. These interpretations of the Bible are in part

On page 107‚ it said‚”Suzy tries to buy Leah’s candy bars and apples from home. I’ve tried to give her a handkerchief. Leah says‚” she expects me to be grateful.” This means Suzy thinks Leah can be tricked into a friendship‚ but Leah is too smart to be tricked.

The overall theme of these stories talks about divine intervention and questions the human condition of mortality. Both of these infamous literary works address the fact that humans are the only known species capable of abstract thinking‚ moral judgment‚ and meta-cognition. While continuous belief compares this ability with the divine‚ the human life is limited

    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.
