Books of the Bible

To understand these regulations we must always consider the context in which these are written as many were written in the Hebrew Bible in a time with a completely different culture to our own. For example one of the unquestionable regulations in the Bible is that of making adultery immoral. This can not be said to be down to the current culture of the time as it is clearly still the same case today. On the opposite side of this is that of Deuteronomy 22:28-29 where it is said that that if a…

The bible is an example of how great our God is. There are many examples of what God expects from his people and miracles he performed. The Mighty Act of God states the bible centers on God 's mighty acts; what God has done, is doing, and will do for us human beings and our salvation through Jesus Christ (Rhodes 1). The bible is the greatest book ever written and is also the greatest story told ever. The Might Acts of God states the bible is not only "the greatest story ever told"; it is the…

The book of Jonah, just like the other Minor Prophets, is a short story – only 4 chapters with 48 vesicles – which, between other characteristics, its distinguishes by having the prophet as the main character, while the other prophets are only collections of oracles. Another difference with the other minor prophet books, is that the book of Jonah is a narrative story about the mission ordered to Jonah, and, even in other books of the Bible, we find parallel writings of this particular style,…

This book by Don Carson is a worthy read. In it, Carson traces the threads of the Biblical narrative from creation to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the justification of sinful men through faith. Carson is able to accomplish this in 14 short chapters. Each chapter focuses on one or two bible passages that deal with key Biblical concepts as the fall in Gen.3and mans need for redemption, the giving of the Mosaic law in Exodus and the deep meaning and symbolism of the ritual…

Throughout Mark Shea’s 5 Myths about 7 Books, he discusses five suspicions held by Protestants as to why the “Apocryphal” books should be included within the Church’s Bible. To preface, this stance will be of dynamic inspiration, which claims that God adapts himself to the original audience of the text, allowing human writers to write according to their own experiences. Though this article there appears to be a hindsight bias as to the position of the deuterocanonical books and although Shea…

Some people say the book of Mice and Men should be banned in public schools, although I think the book should not be banned because it contains allusions, Characterization and Dialect.It helps the students have a better undestandment of all the things above by showing them examples. The examples it contains of Allusion, from poems to the book, which says, “The best laid schemes go often astray.” Meaning the best dreams, that you plan often don’t become true. The author also uses a Biblical…

The bible has a version called epic trilogy which basically means that there are three versions of the bible. Epic as a trilogy is defined as “a multi-layered, interconnected love story, set in the midst of a life-and-death battle for the heart, fought in both a spiritual and physical world”. I always thought the bible as we know it was the only bible which starts with Genesis to Revelation is just the middle of the complete story of the bible there is a whole story line that come before and…

religiously. Unfortunately, when studying it, scholars must keep in mind the problems involved in the process of studying the Hebrew Bible. One of these issues is the fact that the events being recorded in the Hebrew bible occurred many thousands of years ago, and there are very limited resources or evidence that we can use to verify or compare to what is written in the Hebrew Bible. Another issue that arises is the fact that the original text is written in Hebrew, and was translated many times,…

The Bible is the word of God. It explains to us God’s purpose with all creation. Genesis explains how and why God created what he did. This book of the Bible has always been fascinating to me. To think that this whole world was created by God is just so amazing. Creating things such as land and water, man and woman, animals of all kinds, the trees and different plants, along with so much more is a beautiful thing. Making sense of the Bible can take a lot of thought and concentration; I know for…

in the Bible. Homosexuality in the Bible has been a topic discussed by many scholars as well as Bible interpreters. The topic has become more and more relevant in the passing years as LGBT rights movements have gained support. With many people still rejecting homosexual relationships because of what the Testaments’ say about it, scholars have worked harder to understand what the Bible says about homosexuality. Scholars have also tried to understand the context of homosexuality in the Bible. The…
