Children’s literature is a necessity to facilitate learning, assist in shaping reader’s minds, to stimulate their thought processes and is a reflection of social change. Historically, Australian picturebooks were not a readily available or utilised resource. Australian colonial children were also only exposed to British…

The objectification of the female body is commonly done by men, who see women as something that is of use or owned by them. Although, this usually has negative implications Marie de France’s lai Guigemar objectifies the female body as a tool to expose the negative aspects of society. By objectifying the female characters her message is more easily understood and even satirizes, the patriarchal society. Marie explores the problems women face in society and how they are so much more than the box…

Entwistle (2015). The models that were discussed include Enemies, Foreign Spies, Domestic Spies, Colonialists, Rebuilders, Neutral Parties, and Allies.

In fact most of his works are influenced by Aristotle’s teleology. Ricoeur’s style of working is mostly textual hermeneutic which is very much apparent in his Time and Narrative in which he adopts a narrative approach toward explaining the construction of self and how narratives affects the nature of self.

The mantra of our very first BIC course, Examined Life, was an excerpt from Plato’s Apology. All throughout freshman year, I was haunted by the phrase “an unexamined life is not worth living” as I was urged to contemplate the quality of my life. At present, in my senior year, I am challenged with the question of whether an examined life that has come to its end is worth living. Voluntary euthanasia has become a significant issue in our society and, being a Christian, I am troubled with the task…

Any internet search of Joseph/typology will give plenteous prolepses of Christ. The same hermeneutic that applies to types of Christ, may also apply to types of The Antichrist; whether specifically supported in the New Testament or not. One such supported type Antiochus Epiphanes. (Judas…
