The author does such an excellent job in keeping the reader wondering who the killer is until the end of the book. Even though she gives us a really big clue, the author makes sure it is not too obvious. And this is the clue; “Given the scheme in question which is neither more nor less than the execution of justice upon certain individuals for offenses which the law cannot touch, there is only one way in which that scheme could be accomplished. Mr. Owen could only come to the island in one way.…

    In congruence with David Migliore, “the resurrection of Christ stands at the center of the NT witness” (Faith Seeking Understanding, 191). The faith of Christianity falls if there is no resurrection, Paul asserted this in 1 Corinthians 15. Tom Wright rightly notes that the Gospel narratives do not focus on the resurrection until the end, whether it be an empty tomb or an interaction with the risen Lord. Then, from the epistles onward, the resurrection is the focal point of Christian proclamation. Paul states, “We preach Christ crucified…” (1 Corinthians 1:23).…

    Leander E. Keck presents how the New Testament portrays death and afterlife. Before discussing the scripture in detail, he clarifies the meaning of each word, such as death, immortality, resurrection, and sheol. He also points out that the distinct difference between the Greek tradition of radical dualism and Christianity mainly comes from the different understanding of the self (85). And, he illuminates the New Testament in light of four perspectives. Firstly, Jesus shows the influence of apocalyptic thought in that he firmly declared that the righteous would be resurrected at the end of history (86).…

    Outside the walls of Grove City College, the rest of the world does not hold to the high moral standards that this college does. America and the rest of the world have abandoned religion and the teachings of God, leading to immoral practices and ridicule of proper behavior by those who do not practice it. In the face of this opposition, it would seem unwise to attack the norms of popular culture head-on and bring about major change in society. However, St. Athanasius’s work On the Incarnation addresses this very issue as it applied to the Greeks and other Gentiles in the areas of early Christian communities. In his book, he clearly explains the means of every Christian’s salvation and lays the theological foundation that all of Jesus’s teachings…

On the other hand, however, others argue that it is irrational to fear death because to fear death is to fear the unknown.
