Gospel of Judas

First of all, Finny dies because of Gene’s sin. When Gene visits Leper, Leper is the first to accuse him of making Finny fall out of the tree, “… you knocked Finny out of the tree.” (145). Gene symbolizes Judas because he betrayed Finny. His betrayal resulted in Finny’s death. Also, Brinker symbolizes Pontius Pilate. Brinker holds the trial which ends in Finny falling down the stairs. Brinker is partially responsible for Finny’s death. In addition, Gene is only able to forgive himself because…

They are both called “the Son of Perdition” (John 17:22; 2 Thess. 2:3). Might the name Judas share something in common with the name Donald Trump? (You’re starting to get good at answering these rhetorical questions, aren’t you?) The name Judas means, “praised”. The name Iscariot means, “man of the city.” Together they mean, “Praised man of the City”. And Trump is the ultimate praised man of the city. Barbara Walters…

He is Judas all the way through to his moment of regret for the Duchess’ death, just as Judas regrets his betrayal of Christ, when he decides to turn coat, even promising Antonio to be on his side. But in a fascinating moment, Webster makes Bosola kill Antonio. I say makes because it is convoluted for…

The explorer conditioning technique (ECT): Treat a new task as a quest for new discoveries. To be able to perform at your peak, you have to love what you are doing. Whether it’s acting, bartending or washing dishes, you have to learn to love what you do. One way to achieve this is to technically act like any explorer would, which is to be thrilled by something new every day (or treat everything as such even when it’s not new). It should be as if each task you were making were coming…

As said before, groove can be how music makes you feel, how you follow or move to a particular beat of a song. Think of it as this: you and a friend are listening to a song. Let’s say that song is “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’” by Judas Priest. You both start tapping to the song, but you follow vocals while your friend follows the bass. Immediately, you should hear a difference between you and your friends tapping. That difference in beat is the basics of groove; to follow a beat…

Psychological Effects of Metal For a very long time now music has been used in many different means, whether it be entertainment or therapeutic. From dancing to escaping reality, music has many effects on the mind. I believe that within these effects, music holds more positive growth than negative. But what are some of the effects and who do they effect the most? More specifically, what are the effects of the heavy metal genre? Dr. Katrina McFerran has stated “Most young people listen to a…

been promised “salvation,” while others ought to receive “damnation” ? It is interesting to explore this perspective with comparison to the story of Judas Iscariot. Judas was one of the disciples of Jesus Christ, whom Jesus chose to follow him and he was the betrayer. Judas’ inclusion in the part of Jesus’ death and resurrection convey that if Judas had not betrayed Jesus, how would Jesus be taken into the hands of authority and nailed to the cross. Do Jesus’ words “..It would have been better…

He alludes to Judas Iscariot’s violent end with a mention of “a tree swinging” (26). Of course, Eliot recalls this infamous—perhaps ultimate—loss of faith to reveal the dangers of such a loss of faith to his readers. Any good Christian reading Eliot’s work would know that Judas committed the ultimate betrayal of Christ, and set in motion the events that would lead to the crucifixion. The comparison of the hollow men to Judas himself implies eternal damnation for the men…

of Godspell was written by John-Michael Tebelak. He wrote Godspell as his masters thesis at Carnegie Mellon University. With nearly two weeks until the deadline, Tebelak attended the Easter Vigil Mass at St. Paul’s Cathedral, fell in love with the Gospels, and was immediately influenced to write the storyline of Godspell. The music, however, was written by Stephen Schwartz. As Godspell was one of Schwartz’s earliest and most famous productions, he also worked on the composition and lyrics of the…

As a finance major, I agree with Dante’s warning or hoarding and squandering wealth. From a more economical point of view, our world consists of two types of people, lenders and borrowers. The economy can only function when the people with money can lend to the people without money. Through this process people with money can be good stewards of their money and help those with less afford things they need, like houses. This whole process is built upon stewardship, justice and love and…
