Gospel of Judas

With Saul in particular, we have typology of the Antichrist and Christ side-by-side. Scripture says, “The women sang as they played, and said, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands.’” (1 Sam. 8:7) David here is a type of Christ who would later have His own triumphal entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey. (John 12:14-15) The foremost and consummate antichrist type in the Bible is Antiochus Epiphanes. In the book, “The Understanding of Ornament in the Italian Renaissance”,…

I explored Canto XXXIV of Dante Alighieri’s The Inferno. This canto describes Dante’s and Virgil’s expedition into the last circle of hell, Cocytus. As well as detailing their interactions with a number of significantly important characters. Virgil leads Dante into the last circle of hell and they are immediately shaken by a great icy wind. They look over to see a massive horrid creature stirring up the windstorm by flapping it’s wings. Dante said “I did not die, and yet I lost life’s breath”…

The most important theme found in the three synoptic gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke is the divine necessity of Jesus; this theme can also be found in the non-canonical gospel of Judas. This theme is an important building block for Christianity. The divine necessity of Jesus is that he must be rejected by man and killed by man. There are many passages in the four gospels that show this theme. In the synoptics, the four most important are, the passion prediction scenes, the parable of the wicked…

Essay 1: Many historians in opposition to the Christian Faith try to invalidate Catholicism by claiming that the Gospels are not historically reliable. This accusation is entirely false and can logically be disproven by using the five criteria for judging the historical reliability of documents. Is there eyewitness testimony? Where the documents written within living memory of the events? Do outside, unbiased, sources agree? Do the events relayed in the documents sound ridiculously untrue? And…

Even though the Passion Narratives of the four Gospels are very alike in numerous of ways, there are also many important differences among them.The three Synoptic Gospels correlate with one another (because Matthew and Luke go off of Mark), while John’s writings are much different, especially when it comes to chronology. Also, while Matthew and Mark are very similar to each other and almost the same, Luke is different from them and is more similar to John. In addition, an unspecified amount of…

religious motivations and virtues. The Last Supper: Why is this work religious or sacred? The Last Supper is openly known as both a religious and sacred piece of art work. The painting depicts The Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples, as told in the gospel of John 13:21. The Last Supper is one of the most studied pieces of work, particularly because of the many hidden messages within the painting. Leonardo has depicted the consternation that occurred among the twelve disciples when Jesus…

scriptures. The claims that Jesus made about himself infuriated the religious establishment of his day and they had him crucified. Every aspect of Jesus’ life was extraordinary and worth examining. The gospel writings of Matthew and Luke both tell the story of the birth of Jesus. According to the gospel writers, Jesus was born to a virgin and his birth was foretold in the Old Testament…

movie. The film starts out with Jesus’ temptation. This story is in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13. The film copies the story very well, but in their way. By their way, I mean their culture and how they view it. Another part is the Last Supper and Judas’ betrayal at the dinner. The Last Supper is in Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, and John 13. They put their own twist on The Last Supper. Son of Man diverges creatively from the text by the director and producer heavily incorporating their culture…

In the Gospel of Mark, there are many theological themes. Some of the theological themes could also be seen in The Human Experience. The themes in particular would be conversion, joy, and solemnness. Conversion is a theme that is in both the Gospel of Mark and in The Human Experience. Conversion could be defined as change in beliefs, character, form, or function. In the Gospel of Mark, the theme of conversion is shown throughout the entire story. For instance, when Jesus announced that “the…
