Similar to these issues, numerous options present themselves to “solve” these issues. The followers of Jesus Christ offer a distinct viewpoint on these problems. This viewpoint has provoked many authors to write poems or short stories inside this field of thought. William Blake and Mark Jarman, two Christian authors, wrote two different stories using their set of ideas developed from Christianity’s beliefs. Christians are encouraged to love in the same way that Jesus Christ loved everybody (Holman Christian Standard Bible, Eph. 5.2, John 13.34). The ultimate message that…

Tanak is one of the most common names used to describe the Jewish Bible. It is also known in Protestant circles as the beginning books of the Bible, which is also called the Old Testament. No matter what name this section is given, it is a complex set of books with multiple authors, written in diverse languages, and has a history all its own. Yet, with proper study, much about the text can be discovered because many try to translate the original Hebrew and Aramaic as accurately as possible. This…

Researchers believe that employees will be happier and more productive if they choose a schedule that suits their personal needs. Alternative work arrangements are "empowering employees—rather than closely monitoring and controlling them—[which] may be a more effective way to enable employees to provide satisfying service" (Dong, Liao, Chuang, Zhou, & Campbell, 2015, p. 1373).

protect his reputation or save his name. Gatsby suffered because of other’s mistake and in turn faces betrayal. He ultimately paid the price, so Daisy could go free. This sequence of events alludes to the crucifixion of Christ. Christ “suffered for sins once and for all, the righteous for the unrighteous…” (Holman Christian Standard Bible, 1 Peter 3.18) and His closest friend betrayed HIm, “Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor” (Holman Christian Standard Bible, Luke 6.16).

Soon after the children join the tribe, their evil ways start to show. This also can be seen as a representation of things that took place in the Holy Bible. In Lord of the Flies, Jack said, “I gave you food and my hunters will protect you from the bears. Who will join my tribe?” In the Holy Bible, Satan says, “No! You will not die. In fact, God knows that when you eat your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:4-6 Holman Christian Standard Bible)…

Reflecting on Judaism as Christian As a Christian learning about Judaism, there have always been thoughts of why Christianity doesn’t fall in line with more of the Jewish traditions and celebrations of their festivals. The Bible calls the Israelites God’s chosen people and throughout the Old Testament He show His love for them, by the way He led them by a pillar of smoke by day and by a pillar of fire at night. Comparing the old covenant to the new covenant, the bile says “not like the…
