The New Testament in the Christian Bible is a collection of historical writings recording the ‘good news’ of our saviour Jesus Christ - his death, resurrection, ascension and his teachings in the world. Testament comes from the Latin word, testamentum meaning covenant or agreement. The canon of the New Testament is composed by twenty seven different books that were written from about 50 A.D. to 125 A.D. The first four books of the New Testament are the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John which retell the story of Jesus in various ways. The New Testament contains the Acts Of Apostles which continues the gospel of Luke announcing the expansion of the early christian church.…
Post-Mosaic Traditions in the Feast of Tabernacles Celebration During the "silent years", i.e. the gap of time between the Old Testament and New Testaments, the Jewish people made significant additions to the Feast of Tabernacles celebration. Two very important additions were the "water libation" and "illumination of the Temple" ceremonies. These ceremonies symbolized the outpouring of the Spirit and the glory of God’s presence with men, and Yeshua (Jesus) used both of them to declare his Deity.…
The Lottery In the short story "The Lottery" the author, Shirley Jackson, surprises readers with an unexpected turn of events. First time readers can define her description for her setting as insignificant, but after reading it once it brings curiosity on how readers misinterpreted on what seemed normal but were actual symbols and foreshadowing to the tragic outcome. As Jackson uses symbolism throughout her story she captures reader’s attention not only because of the human sacrifice but the story itself reflects present people 's traditions or religions. Traditions have existed throughout the entire human existence by “[transmitting] customs or beliefs from generation to generation.”…
The Cruciform Communion of the Slain Lamb: A Collaboration I. “And I began to weep bitterly…” “And I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it” (Rev. 5:4).

Regardless of whether a rival or supporter of Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, there is no precluding the chronicled significance from claiming the piece. Despite the fact that its creation was just somewhere in the range of 30 years back, it is as of now observed as a women's activist symbol in western culture. The verifiable significance, to ladies and western culture, is immaterial. The Dinner party is a great establishment celebrating overlooked accomplishments in female history. Chicago portrayed it as, "as a reinterpretation of The Last Supper from the perspective of ladies, who, all through history, have arranged the suppers and set the table.…
Zachary Reese Prof. Patrick Emmett RS 110 2/10/16 Forms of the Covenant Judaism is a religion with rich history and strong Jewish cultural followings. Many of which are recorded in the Hebrew bible. In Michael Molloy’s book, Experiencing the World’s Religions, he defines covenant as “a contract,” but more specifically as a contract “between the Hebrews and their God, Yahwheh” (340).

In the story“The Holy Supper”, Judas loved money more than everything else, and there was but one thing that would bring it now since all hope of Jesus becoming a king was past. Judas had secretly hoped that Jesus be made king, and that His disciples would be honored with riches and power, but little by little this hope had been dying, and little by little his heart had been turning away from his Master and his brethren, until, with the resolve to forsake the Lord, he opened the door of his heart to Satan, who began to enter in and possess him. So, he betrayed Judas. In someone’s eyes, money can buy everything. People drove by this thought incline to make money by any kind of means, so lots of them will make themselves walk up to the criminal…
This controversy is active in some ways. The one I see the most active is within the Catholic and Protestant view of communion. I have a lot of Catholic friends and the view of the Lord’s Supper is a stark difference. I have attended mass with friends in the past, and the reverence that is paid for the Eucharist is much different than what Protestants do for Lord’s supper. One big difference is it is not open communion and only Roman Catholics can take the elements is different.…

The Abrahamic Covenant is marked with signs with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. A sign with Abraham that males must be circumcised and the changing of Abrams and Sarai’s name. A sign with Isaac was the building of an altar and called on the name of the Lord.…

It is during this meal that the sacrament of His Body and Blood was instituted. It is now commonly known as the sacrament of the Eucharist.
