In this essay I will investigate the role of healing, music and dance in South Asian Sufism. This is a very relevant subject matter throughout the World as religious groups and tribes utilise the above activities in number of ways. Many religious groups partake in dance and musical activities for enjoyment and improved social life only where as other groups like Sufism do this to affect the human psyche and body. They see this as a way to soothe, incite, excite, distract and even heal one’s self…

His son and successor Solomon is most noted for advancing David’s kingdom and for building the First Temple. In fact, according to Abba Eban (1999), author of over half a dozen historical reference books on Jewish history as well as the PBS television series “Civilization and the Jews,” “Solomon’s Temple was the crowning glory of a building program that rivaled those of the Pharaohs” (p. 50). Archaeologists claim to have found remnants of Solomon’s Temple as well in the form of a tablet dated…

Romans 1-8 sets the foundation for the Christian belief and worldview. Paul focuses on how the wrath of God will be upon those living in the flesh while the love of God will be upon those living in faith. For even though Christians sin, God has forgiven them and continues to love them. “One of the great truths of Scripture is that in spite of our sinfulness and rebellion, we are the objects of God’s divine love.” (Osborne, 34) The basis of the worldview of today’s society is found in selfishness…

While most films offer a sort of distraction from reality, musicals are often a utopia of wealth and happiness (Belton, 2009). Through dazzling song and dance, they make routine look like pageantry and loneliness feel like individuality. Even the most conservative of musicals transform the everyday into a spectacle, transitioning dramatic tensions into a melodic fanfare. Singing liberates the characters to express themselves in a way that mere words never could, giving them a freedom from the…

There is an argument in international relations that state sovereignty is being undermined by globalisation. Scholars argue new global powers are bringing about the end of state sovereignty as states are losing the ability to effectively govern their own societies and economies. (Ohmae 1995, Scholte 2000 in McGrew 2014: 16) This essay however will attempt to reaffirm the importance of the sovereign state despite globalisation, initially through examining some arguments for the proposed idea, and…

Jesus Seminar Paragraph Marcus J. Borg attests in his book Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time that Jesus comprises two distinct personas; “the pre-Easter Jesus” and “the post-Easter Jesus” (20). He further implies that it is necessary for us to be able to differentiate between these identities, and cites and commends “the work of a group of scholars known as the Jesus Seminar” in dutifully analyzing and clarifying these necessary distinctions (21). Borg states that the Seminar “[has] met…

2.1.3 The Use of MI Theory in Education Since Gardner proposed his Multiple Intelligences Theory in his book, Frames of Mind in 1983, a great majority of educators have been applying it in education. They have considered the idea of multiple intelligences as a ‘powerful medicine’ for the shortcomings that are existent in the educational system. Whether they used it as a teaching approach, method or strategy or as an assessment tool, they agreed on that instruction should be tailored according to…

The Setting of the Parable Both the placement of the parable in the Bible and when the parable took place in Jesus’ life are important in understanding the meaning of the parable. While Mark’s version of the Parable of the Wicked Tenants is regarded as the closest to the synoptic traditions source (De Moor 63), it is Matthew’s placement of the parable that is most significant. The parable is sandwiched by two other parables: the Parable of the Two sons and the Parable of the Marriage Feast. All…
