Christianity

theological questions were around getting clarity about early Christianity through historical and contemporary text. My interest in early Christianity is to gain more knowledge about how I can apply the early teachings and traditions into my own practice of Christianity. My faith gets stronger with the more knowledge I acquire and in return make relevant in my life. The theological questions that I have now are in regards to how Christianity is viewed and practiced worldwide. Do Christians only…

Christianity and Islam There are many religions in the world, two of which I will highlight within this paper. The two are Islam and Christianity. Many people argue that they are both extremely different while others postulate their similarities. Looking at the sacred texts, there are noticeable similarities however, the differences between Islam and Christianity are pronounced, and merit rigorous scrutiny. Those who are curious about these two religions should understand the commonalities and…

reasons. Early Christianity and Islamic Culture are both traditions, which were improved upon. They both looked to a higher God. That is the first thing I knew about Islam and Christianity, when discussed. Their religion was the foundation of their entire culture. Their Gods did contrast considering the Islamic god was Allah, and the Christian’s God was the holy spirit, but they both built their foundation on a higher being. In the medieval ages the culture was roman Christianity. In…

Four months here and I still can remember my first day coming to this island to teach the the Hawaiians about Christianity. Going on a long and difficult journey, smelling the crisp air coming from the amazing islands of Oahu. Hurtling of that cranky and rusty boat I saw the beautiful palm trees dancing in the breeze. Then there they were, the Hawaiians standing on the beach. NAKED! I looked at my mother and gave her an outlandish look. “What in the world are these people thinking, not…

Christianity and Islam are some of the most well-known religions in the world, and often thought of as completely separate. However, in actuality, they share as many resemblances as they do distinctions. Islam’s beginnings came about before Christianity. Christianity was created after Jesus came to the earth. Thus, Christianity was founded a couple centuries after Abraham formed his family. Christianity is a religion that bases its teachings on the those of Jesus Christ. Whereas, Islam is a…

Christianity: From Judaism to Jesus Christianity began a long, long time ago. The people who became the Jews were not any big important group of people. In fact, they were very poor, and a regular tribe. The main person who started practicing Judaism was Abraham or Abram. God came to Abraham when he was Ninety years old and nine, as recorded in Genesis 17. God made a covenant with him, and promised him many things. He promised to make him the father of many nations, that he will have children,…

The Absurd- Kierkegaard’s concept of the Absurd is that faith in Christianity will seem from the outside to be an absurd commitment but, that, by one making the “leap of faith”, it becomes that most rational choice available to the human person. The Absurd is the aspect of faith that cannot be resolved by speculative philosophy and can only be resolved by the way of an individual choice. There is no way to understand the complexity or the vague nature of a religious faith until one is “in the…

I read Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. It was published by HarperCollins Publishers. It was published by HarperCollins Publishers in New York City in 2001. There are two hundred and twenty-seven pages. This book was a 7. I gave this book a 7 first because it was a really good book. It explains very difficult things with illustrations that make sense. The reason it did not score higher is that I did get bored occasionally because it was not a storyline but individual ideas discussed. It was at…

impressions of the book and Lewis’s argument. The book "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis offers an insight into the Christian world that I, and many other teenagers and even adults, probably have never even thought about or considered. When first reading the book I was frustrated with C.S. Lewis. The way he explained things made me feel as if he was trying to reach out to me, and any other reader, as if we were completely clueless to Christianity. But, as I continued to read I realized that if…
