where Star Wars had been released. I had never experienced first-hand the infamous twist that Darth Vader was actually Luke Skywalker’s, the protagonist of the original Star Wars trilogy, father in cinemas at the time of Empire Strikes Back’s release. I had never experienced what a visual marvel the film had actually been at the time. I consider myself to be one of the biggest Star…

This paper examines the figure of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospel according to Mark. I will seek to examine whether the religious teachings introduced, or actions displayed by Jesus were at odds with contemporary Greco-Roman and Jewish traditional practice. I will argue that Jesus as represented in the Gospel of Mark was, in both action and doctrine, the antithesis of what the Greek scholar, Celsus, would idealize as proper religious practice. To explain and defend my stance I will conduct a…

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace In 1998, Lucas Film released a teaser poster for their long waited and highly anticipated new movie, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. This was a relief to many fans and stirred much excitement with the community because Star Wars has been without a release since 1983 and many fans are looking forward to seeing the new George Lucas film. This teaser poster grabs the attention of long time Star Wars fans as it does new fans wanting to know what happens to the…

In the Force Awakens, Leia must deal with her emotions revolving around her son, Ben, who had fallen to the dark side of the force. As Han tells her that he had seen their son, a look of concern comes over her face. Even with his betrayal, Leia says of her son to Han, “you think I want to forget him, I want him back.” She continues to say “we can still save him,” because “there is still light in him, I know it.” She refuses to give up one those she loves, and believes fervently in their…

Gospel of Matthew is a matter of fact called the Gospel “according to” Matthew. Due to the fact that Matthew was a Jewish man, his interpretation of his Gospel is different from the other three men that also wrote some of their own including John, Luke, and Mark. It can be seen that back in Jesus’ time Jews may have been prideful, in that by believing in Jesus they thought they may have been drifting away from their own traditional ways. This is when Matthew steps in to let them know that Jesus…

be the Synoptic Gospels/Problem. Analyzing the connections between the gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke have made it apparent to me that they are all using roughly the same information/stories with different themes to support the author’s motives and ideas on who Jesus of Nazareth should be. It should be noted that I did not support the Q hypothesis we discussed in class. From what I can tell, Luke more than likely copied from Matthew, and there is not a hypothetical document we have yet to…

The gospel's are the first four books of the New Testament, from not only the most famous book in the world but also the most accurate, the Bible. They are in order from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, wrote a journal during his apostleship and time he spent with Jesus. This enter book is Matthew's point of view of what he experienced with Jesus. This book was written by Matthew to the Jewish community to try and give a testimony of what he experienced with whom…

the hunger games, but she has to because she volunteered for Prim because she didn’t want her younger sister to die in the arena. But with Luke he wants to go and fight the empire, but his uncle is forcing him to stay on the planet and live with them. But Katniss is really afraid to be going into the hunger games she thinks she has a 0% chance to win and Luke is saying that he can fight with the rebellion and defeat the empire with no fear in his voice. But something that is alike in the…

The two passages from the synoptic gospels, Matthew 15:21-28 and Mark 7:24-30, both create accounts of an event that occurred somewhere throughout the life and ministry of Jesus. Though these two synoptic gospels tend to be very similar in terms of the story and memoir, but they differentiate in the syntax, mood, phrasing, and the style of writing. Among these two passages from both of these gospels, it is clear that Matthew did not copy the writings of Mark’s gospel from word to word but rather…

The gospel of Luke is unique from the other synoptic gospels because not only was he Greek, he converted to Christianity and portrayed Jesus as a man filled with spirit; a man of prayer and compassion, especially for the oppressed and for people living on the fringes of society. Luke presented Jesus in such way that he can be seen as a verifiable historical figure, as a teacher and an important prophet in the bible. He also recognises the women in Jesus life, and includes parables about then and…
