Jesus Christ, the crucifixion, and the tales of the saints in miracle plays. Their plays have moral lessons and life teachings based on Christian beliefs. According to the lecture, Quem Quaeritis is one of the most famous tropes. It is about Mary visiting Jesus’ tomb after three days and talking to the angel and singing. It consisted of singing and a little bit of narrative text. In my opinion, the Second Shepherd’s play was more of the comedic/historical version of the birth of Jesus Christ. It…

I have always been interested in what happens at a Catholic church; when you have never been to one it can seem interesting and very different. Sts. Peter and Paul is no exception; form the outside alone, I have always considered it one of our most beautiful churches. Sts.

on our lives and that this was in the first section one of the book, in “The Study of God.” Knowing God systematically spells out who God is and how we can know him in a biblical framework. The idea of doctrine is key, but not the core; the core is Christ, as intermediated to us predominantly through reflection on the Bible and attention to the Holy…
the history of eschatology throughout the history of the Church. It is imperative that Christians not ignore the prior generations exegetical study. Early Church Fathers Irenaeus In studying the eschatology of Irenaeus (AD 125-202) he saw Jesus Christ as the key to all prophecy.…

But today, by the grace of God, there…

It has been historically accepted that Paul wrote this letter perhaps as a circulatory letter to the churches of Asia Minor. Paul likely wrote the letter from prison in…
an apostle who earned this duty due to my experience with Jesus Christ (1:1). I was sent by the blessed and wonderful Jesus Christ and God the Father who have saved both you and me.
