This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." And it means I am the leaving word come down from heaven, whoever comes to me he will live forever.

The Water-Babies rescripts Christian seriousness through Sontag's notion of “[camp as] serious about the frivolous” (61). Tom's moral evolution is “frivolous about the serious” because he has not been instructed about his moral lessons. One example is Tom’s quest to find the other water-babies to play with. Tom's "sheer disappointment" on not finding any water-babies is because he is impatient and idle. Therefore, Kingsley presents the moral that “even little babies [must] [wait and work for…

John the Baptist is a standout amongst the most particular characters in the New Testament. He had a bizarre pizazz for design, wearing wild-looking garments made of camel's hair and a calfskin belt around his midsection. He lived in the left wild, ate beetle and wild nectar and lectured an abnormal message. John the Baptist knew his fundamental purpose for existing. He unmistakably comprehended that God had separated him for a reason. Through God's bearing, John the Baptist tested the general…

The Dead Christ with Symbols of the Passion can be compared to Rosso Fiorentino's work, The Dead Christ with Angels. Painted in the 1520s, the piece features heavy similarities to Fontana's work in style, theme and content. Fiorentino's piece is also highly reflective of the 16th century style-mannerism similar to Fontana’s piece. Fiorentino’s piece is characterized by the use of crowded figures in an ambiguous space, strong hues and colors, elongated and twisting figures and so on. Thematically…

walked out of the tomb very much alive (John 11). Another miracle is the event of Jesus multiplying food for five thousand people.

Peter, just as many of the people in the world today, struggled with doubting his own faith. A prime example of this is the story of The Walking on the Water from the gospel of Matthew. In this passage Jesus sends the disciples out across the sea while He goes to pray up on the mountain. As the disciples sailed off, the boat got caught in a storm. In the middle of the night Jesus began to approach the disciples, and at first they did not believe that it was really Him. They said fearfully that…
