The authors, Mead, Hill, and Atwood describe the beginnings of Judaism as a branch of the Christian religion. Throughout time, these religions have altered and shifted, both growing and blossoming in their own way. In my opinion, the most unique belief of Judaism is that in their eyes, Jesus was not the Messiah. Being a Christian, I was taught in my church that Jesus is the embodiment of God and that he was brought to the Earth to sacrifice his life for our sins and to expand the word of the…

Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann raise an important point. They say societies concepts of reality and its relationships have to be impressed forcefully on each individual of the new generation, even if impressing is done in an unpleasant way e.g circumcision or western schooling. Since humans are often lazy and stupid these assumptions have to be simplified into easy formulas which can be learned, in ways which might routinise or even trivialize them, a process which can be seen in western…

Empires should be tolerant of race, religion, and other cultures, and attempt to…

Paul opens this letter by announcing that he is an apostle of Jesus Christ, not by human appointment or authority, but by divine revelation. He is being utilized…
