Historical Jesus

Authority states that, “the Qumran Scrolls are over a thousand years older than previously identified biblical manuscripts,” which is significant because it can give scholars an idea of the similarity between scripture that would be around in the time of Jesus and what is around now. Knowing that the Old Testament of Jesus’s time is consistent with the one read today is helpful in determining how genuine the modern Bible is. It is also important for understanding the writings of the early…

Worldview. This proclaims how to think Christianly while leaving within the aspects of the world. (Taylor Notes, p.1) By obtaining a Christian worldview, one demonstrates that they are the students whom defy the odds in order to demonstrate the gospel of Jesus and His love for one another. They often demonstrate this through their livelihood and the decisions that allowed for them to follow the path that God has laid out for them. This…

flawed or incapable of being correct, but it does mean that it is justified to question the works done by man. In terms of the Bible, one valid reason that we can trust what is written in the Bible is because of the prophecies that are fulfilled by Jesus. "Approximately 2,500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible, about 2,000 of which already have been fulfilled to the letter—no errors (Ross 1)." Just a few examples: The Messiah will be born in Bethlehem is found in Micah chapter five…

despite their oppressed situation. The lyrics of the song are in response to the horrific nature of the life of slavery and the overwhelming desire to part from it. Slaves had a spiritual connection with God and although they were suffering, they knew Jesus Christ and celebrated by singing of the promise that someday they would be freed. The work, Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel, exhibits a Biblical imagery scene of deliverance in various ways. The work is excellent at revealing the parallels…

Reverberation: How God’s Word Brings Light, Freedom, and Action to His People Jonathan Leeman’s Reverberation serves as a call for all in the pulpit and in the pews to renew their confidence in the authority and power of God’s Word. While Leeman acknowledges most church’s proverbial “lip service” to the importance of the Bible, he seeks to elevate the ministry of the Word as the ultimate ministry of the church. If God is for the growth of the church and not against it, then what is his…

Pastoral Epistles. This work is an attempt, to evaluate some of the most important arguments that have been made against Pauline authorship.Some of the objections to Paul’s authorship of the Pastorals focus on the linguistic characters of the letters, historical background of the letters, organization of the church and the doctrinal content of the letters. The Linguistic Character of the Pastorals One major objection to the pauline authorship was the language used…

Because it has typological inferences to a historical king, Satan and The Antichrist, this chapter presents interpretive challenges. The same three-fold typology is found in Daniel chapter 8 around the character and events of Antiochus Epiphanes. The previous chapter, Ezekiel 27, contains historical information about the very wealthy King of Tyre. Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Tyre was a major trading center and jewel of the ancient world. As we segue into chapter 28, the King of Tyre is…

This should be the guiding principles rather than the customs of the Roman Empire in this ever-changing modern society we live today. In concluding this paper, it…
