relationship with God. Job empathically states, “ Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble” (Job 14:1 ESV). “Man born of woman” is a poetic way of saying “everyone.” The term Man translates Hebrew ’aDam and refers to humankind, or everyone. Man’s few days are troublesome. The Hebrew for trouble reflects the same word rōgěz rendered “turmoil” in 3:17, 26. The verb form of the noun translated “trouble” means “tremble/quake” as in an earthquake. It also describes persons…

The first person that I chose to present my story to was my mother, Jan. I chose her because of the insight that she gives on the Bible and on life, and because of her continual faith in God through everything that she has been through, whether it’s hard or easy. I really look up to her in the way that she deals with hard times. She always chooses to believe that everything will be okay in the end, and that God has a plan for it all. I thought it would be perfect to tell her about this and ask…

In Anne Sexton’s poem “Letter Written on a Ferry”, she uses tone to convey meaning and to express her feelings. “Letter Written on a Ferry” was written while Anne was going through a breakup. This poem was written to express her feelings while going through this period of her life. When reading this poem, the reader automatically thinks a woman is leaving her loved one. Even though that is true, there is a hidden meaning that Sexton is trying to convey by using tone and her life experiences.…

Jews for many years had no nation of their own, and so they were disseminated among many other different people and nations. After Expulsion indicates the difficulties the Jewish people went through not only with non-Jews, but also within the ties of Hebrew blood. Jews were not fully accepted by Christians or Muslims and had many separations among themselves. There were influential people within the Jewish community who did what they could to keep their people held together. The Jews were forced…

The existence and history of animals on Earth is extraordinarily extensive with fossil evidence dating their inhabitance here roughly 560 million years ago. This by far surpasses the seemingly short in comparison recorded verification of human life that only goes back some 6,000 years ago. Before the paving of paths, the construction of building, and the before formation of civilization animals roamed and enjoyed all the Earth had to offer. As time passed, humans would similarly become accustom…

Shaunakay Clarke Professor Humanities 111 21 December 2016 Based upon the Hebrew Bible, evil in why do you think that there is sin and the world? How does the Creation story explain original sin? In what way does free will function in the development of sin? Why is free will, despite sin, necessary for a healthy relationship not only between God and people, but between people themselves? How would you explain Adam and Eve’s introduction of evil into the world? Before transgression entered the…

The Bible: From Boring to Transforming “Honestly, reading the Bible is boring,” says 16 year old Micha, “I like the stories and stuff, but don’t see how it applies to my life.” This outlook of scripture is all too common among young people today. Micha represents a generation where all good things come in small screens, where satisfaction is based on speed, and where attention is unnecessary to succeed. This modern era has rejected patience and stillness for busyness and productivity. In such…

Eastern European Jewish Immigrants in German Jewish Communities Late nineteenth/early twentieth century Eastern European Jewish immigrants who settled in Ohio cities merged to some extent with the pre-existing German Jewish communities. Despite the various cultural differences such as language, religious values, and different immigration experiences, the new Eastern European Jews used the German Jews as a cultural example and became the equivalent of a lower-class German Jew. The economically…

Judaism and Christianity This week I am very happy to be reacting to the religions I feel most comfortable talking and holding discussions about. Due to my past education and personal experience with these religions, I felt it was much easier to form an opinion based on the readings and notes. There are so many important aspects to these religions and so much detail within them that could be focused on. I want to begin by answering the question talking about challenges with my own…

My personal theory of religious education is the biblical family centered education. 1. The purpose of religious education 1) Deliver the biblical values through family life The Bible mirrors every dimension of the world, so the biblical values can help people form constructive and balanced characteristics to be whole persons. However, the biblical values will not be fully transmitted by only teaching in the church on a limited time because values are not knowledge to get by just teaching.…
