In one perspective everything is done for an almighty god in the other everything is done for glory. Both of them have gods but they do not have the same quantity and quality. One was created with organization and peace and the other was created through chaos. Even with their differences Hellenism and Hebraism coexist in Western…

In the story of Abraham, he was given the mandate by God to sacrifice his son to him. God wanted to test Abraham’s faith and he was willing to sacrifice his son without questioning God’s orders. However, when God informed Abraham that he was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham resisted. Part of the reason that Abraham pleaded with God to not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah was that he realized that there was good in that city full of sin. That not everyone was to be punished for the faults…

I enjoyed reading this novel very much. It was happier compared to other stories we have read this semester. When I had finished a majority of the book I was very confused as to why this was assigned to us. This book seemed outdated and I doubt I will have clients who are from this era. Footbinding is a very old custom that is no longer practiced; there may be one or two women who are still alive with bound feet. Also, the setting of this book was in the 1800s, China’s culture is significantly…

The story of Abraham (Genesis 12-25), the father of faith, starts the ever-last redemption plan of God for humanity. Abraham, son of Terah, was born in Ur, Mesopotamia, Near East in 1812 B.C.E. which is one of the first civilization registered in human story.

The Sacrifice of Isaac and its Relevance “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.”(Genesis 22:2) Upon reading this verse, a reader might ask themselves “Why would God command Abraham to do such a horrible thing?” Especially after He had kept to his word and blessed Sarah with this miracle pregnancy, just a chapter before? I believe the answer is embedded in the notion that…

Night Looking deeper into this memoir, one can see that the traumatic journey had a great effect on Elie physical, mental, and spiritually. Some may say that Elie lost his faith in God during his endeavors in the concentration camp, but personally I would disagree he completely loses his faith. Ultimately, I do not think Elie lost his faith throughout his journey, although certain situations in the book lead the reader to believe that Elie had finally had enough. Many times Elie questioned…
