Christ

Religious beliefs and the rituals created to express them have played a major role in shaping artistic expression since the beginning of time. The west is no different and we find artwork throughout generations is rich with religious meaning. From the devotional art of New Spain to the Native rituals of the Southwest, the exhibit “Art of the West” at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum displays a significant narration of western culture in one of its main themes “Religion and Ritual”. This…

For this assignment, I picked the sculpture of Christ on the cross. Frederick chose to build a fifty –five foot, full-scale crucifix because he wanted to build the worlds biggest crucifix. He built it for the Indian River Catholic Shrine in Indian River, Michigan. In 1959, it was believed that it was the biggest crucifix ever built. The crucifix only took three years to complete but the plaster model at the Marshall M. Frederick sculpture museum took around seven years to construct. Did you know…

2′ 3 1/2″ high. There isn’t any known record of the artist who actually built the sculpture, but it is known that they were a goldsmith. The piece can now be seen in Louvre Museum in France. The subject of the piece is the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ as a baby. During that 13th century, the Virgin Mary was favored to being the subject of many artworks. The piece represents the passion of love that Mary has for her son. It represents…

I found the concept of the Cosmic Christ in chapter 5 of Jesus Through The Centuries quite intriguing. I always thought when people called Jesus the ‘Cosmic Christ’ it was in reference to his continued being and presence in the lives of his believers after his death. I was unaware of the name ‘Jesus Christ of Logos’. Logos in Greek means reason. It means the same when applied to Jesus’ name and so much more at the same time. It is the word of God, as well as the divine revelation and at the same…

Case for Christ In Lee Strobels "a case for Christ" A case is made to try and prove that the Bible is not just a fantasy book. Nonbelievers believe that the Bible is full of tall tales.

Do you Strobel went on a two-year face extravaganza journey. He is a very educated man having done to Oxford and Harvard. He is a lawyer and he decided to…

The Divine Plan The Passion of the Christ, a Hollywood portrayal of the judgement and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, brings to life the Gospel’s narration of the most important day of mankind. This paper will demonstrate that although the movie’s depiction slanted towards a bias of the Jewish people being against Jesus, the Sanhedrin were not representatives of the sediment of the Jews. It will also show that Pontius Pilate, a man of consciousness, was ultimately used as a pawn by God to carry…

Surely everybody, who knows who Jesus Christ is, have been taught and have heard of how he was crucified on the cross for the sins of mankind. Well, while I was reading, I began to realize that Christ being crucified on the cross is being pictured throughout the whole book. In fact, the murderer uses the process of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ as his plans for his killings. Each step he used in killing his victims is similar to what happened to Jesus. However, the fullness of true compassion…

During this Church History Intensive, Doctor Steve Hoskins allowed us to delve deeper into the history of the Church, and throughout the class, he challenged us to reevaluate our perspective of the Church, as a whole. We were instructed on why church history is important, and why we should not only know the history of our Salvation Army but of the Church, in general. Countless men and women fought for the freedom of religion that we have in this day and age. If we do not educate our people,…

informed of. The topic that seems to interest me the most is our union with Christ. Our union with Christ refers to the relationship that we have with Christ. John Murray states “union with Christ is . . . the central truth of the whole doctrine of salvation . . .. It is not simply a phase of the application of redemption; it underlies every aspect of redemption” (Murray, 201-202). This quote supports the idea that our union with Christ is not just a simple thing, but also an important issue to…

Who was Jesus Christ? Some claim he was a prophet while others claim he is the Son of God. Some say he was a historical figure while others say he was never even here. So who is this man know as Jesus Christ? From Messianic prophecies to the coming of the Son in the end times, no matter who Jesus is to someone he is a historical figure with a background that has been documented within the Bible. The book of Isaiah was written almost seven hundred years before Jesus was born. Isaiah claims the…
