Introduction The struggle is real, in the” Journey of the Magi,” by T. S. Elliot, written in 1927. Elliot expresses the long journey through the dessert. He conveys how the journey of mankind in the natural is similar to that of a man who decides to leave his sinful lusts, lays down his life and picks up his cross to follow Jesus Christ.

My wife and I, like most other people living in America, received a knock on our door by some Jehovah’s Witnesses. They had their material at “the ready” and started, as they often do, asking us about “paradise earth”. I invited them into our home.

Biblical literalism is no analysis of the text which is nearly impossible.

(Anderson, 105). A feminist approach to biblical studies can help reconstruct women’s identities in the text and see how the identity of the reader is affected by the way women are portrayed. Analyzing the ways in which women are excluded from the text and identifying the construction of gender are two methods of conducting biblical studies from the feminist perspective. These methods of analysis allow readers to see the social implications from the way that biblical text is interpreted and work…
