    Before the Protestant Reformation all bibles were written in Latin only. Common people before believed that the information that was preached to them was all true because they didn’t know how to read, so they thought that maybe that’s how god wanted it to be like. After the Protestant Reformation, the bible was translated into different languages so that the common people were able to read the bible and other books.

    The Protestant Reformation has taken place in the 16th century, yet its results are still present nowadays. In 1517, Martin Luther started this movement, which criticised the Catholic Church, by publishing his Ninety-five Theses. These were in opposition against the Church’s power and wealth. Following that, many people joined him in his revolt against the Church, leading to the creation of Protestantism. For people to start following him and for the movement to actually lead to changes, many factors came in.…

    However, glancing back to the late 18th century and at the Bibles available, there were perhaps two or three Bible translations to select from; the Geneva Bible or The King James Bible. Contrasted against todays modern translations, or reinterpretations of older versions, the Geneva Bible and the old King James Bible contain comparable language and tone to that found in several documents of their day. Granted, this information alone is a feeble argument. Pair it alongside of the influence of Christianity on the Founding Fathers and an early America grounded in Christian faith and one might start to wonder.…

    I chose to write about Matthew and John because they are the first and last of the Gospels. I am also the most interested in these two books since one is a synoptic Gospel and the other is not. Matthew and John are both Gospels. However, Matthew is a synoptic gospel and John is not. John is different than all the other Gospels and is not considered a synoptic Gospel because it does not contain the birth of Jesus.…

    The Gospel of Matthew contains a number of verses that provide a conflicting yet intriguing insight to the status of women and the interactions that Jesus had with them. A consequence of these differing views is the uncertainty readers may have over the role of women and their influence in the rise of Christianity. Professor Rodney Stark’s essay on the role of women promotes the notion that women were major stakeholders in Christianity and acted as a catalyst to the religion’s rapid growth. Despite having references about Christian women with high status, the Gospel of Matthew emphasises more on the importance of their function in the Christian movement. Christianity had become a popular religion among Pagan females as a result of sacred texts…

    The four Gospels in the bible are accredited to four writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The gospels were split into two groups, which consisted of the synoptic Gospels and John’s gospel. The synoptic gospels consisted of Matthew, Mark and Luke’s gospels. The reason for this was because of the difference between the writings. The synoptic gospels were considered similar, but John did not really contain the same similarities that the other three writings had in common.…

    A significant aspect of Jesus’ portraits has to do with the titles used to describe him and point to his humanness or divinity. The diction used in Mark is less suggestive of Jesus’ divine nature than in John. The most common title for Jesus in Mark’s gospel is “Teacher” or “Master,” plain human terms that emphasize the idea of serving others. Jesus is portrayed as the servant of God, but he is nonetheless the leader of the people on earth by virtue of his status as a prophet. Jesus being identified as “Teacher” is also important because Mark’s audience, the Gentiles, was relatively new to the faith, and Mark wanted to stress that Jesus was a model for them to serve God before serving themselves during the persecutions.…
