Hermeneutics

When people think of the Bible, they think of religion. People have to stop and think that the Bible is not only religion, but it’s also about literature. People question why to put literate styles because they think it will be easier to be straightforward with God’s message? The answer to that is that God used different people in different ways. The people God used wrote in the style they are known with as how the Holy Spirit encouraged them. There are so many types of literary means used by…

Researchers often confront difficulties in selecting adequate research methods among the vast options for their social research. Among the tremendous research methods, quantitative and qualitative research paradigms appear to be the most celebrated methods adopted by majority social researchers. For many decades, social researchers (e.g. David and Sutton, 2004; Johnson and Onwuegbuzie, 2004) argued on the differentiated nature and ideologies of the terms ‘quantitative’ and ‘qualitative’ within…

In Chicano culture, religion and spirituality significantly impact the way they think and live which will affect the way they write. Chicano Literature expresses the theme of religion and spiritually throughout it all. Religion plays a big part throughout the books. Antonio isn’t judged by the church when he starts hanging around Ultima, whom is known as a witch; there is a positive image of his through the use of the diction and imagery. La Loca is judged by the church and hold an image of evil…

Savagery. Hunger. Pain. Loss. War plagues the human condition in ways that no other experience can, understandably inspiring many authors through the course of human culture to set their story in the locale of war. However, on the brink between modern warfare technology and ancient battle tactics, the already gruesome American Civil War elucidates another point of intrigue in being one of the most fatal wars statistically in recorded history (Dutch). Amongst the horror and tragedy created during…

In Philosophical Hermeneutics, by Gadamer, he states “[t]he understanding of a text has not begun at all as long as a text remains mute” (43). A text is mute when you are trying to understand it, but it is not speaking to you. Whenever a text starts to speak, it never just speaks in the same voice; it always changes. When you were a child, you may have read Harold and the Purple Crayon, by Crockett Johnson. It would mean one thing considering you read it when you were a child; it would…

Psychology perspectives are purely based on human behaviour, they offer an important piece to the psychology puzzle, (highered.mheducation.com, 2017). This report will look at the psychodynamic perspective; which came to a light by Sigmund Freud (1856 – 1939), and the humanistic perspective, which has two theorists with interesting approaches, Abraham Maslow (1908- 1970) and Carl Rogers (1902- 1987). Humanism is referred to as the ‘third- force’ within psychology, it focusses’ on the…

My critical review is about Hays’ argument of homosexuality. My essay is formed with two parts: summary and evaluation of his argument. In order to articulate each part, I chose a way to answer specific questions referred to in the assignment’s direction. 1. Summary ❙ What are Hays’ methodology and important premises? As a way to provide the answer to ethical question of homosexuality, which the church faces with in today’s context, Hays uses the Fourfold Task of New Testament Ethics: the…

This wave stems from the early 1990s to as recent as 2012. Third wave feminism “rejects grand narratives for a feminism that operates as a hermeneutics of critique within a wide array of discursive locations, and replaces attempts at unity with a dynamic and welcoming politics of coalition”. In simpler terms, the scope of third wave feminism views issues in a broader sense, focusing on global…

The first volume of Robert Jenson’s Systematic Theology resolves two theological difficulties in the doctrine of God by innovatively binding together eschatology and pneumatology (advancing what I will refer to as Jenson’s “eschatological pneumatology”) in order to develop and sustain material proposals concerning God’s triune character. In terms of eschatology, Jenson’s project critically opposes theologies which are overdetermined by protological thinking, or God’s reality as source and origin…
