Luke Bryan

Heavily influenced by Mark’s gospel, Luke was compelled to collect his own history as well and complete the work. Some pieces between all three books, more closely related between Mark and Luke, were similar, but told differently according to who was telling it; Mark’s Gospel is the shortest, and the most heavily abbreviated in storytelling, whereas Luke defines and describes specific scenes Mark did previously mention. It is a more “fleshed out” version. In Mark’s version of Peter’s denial, he…

Shaping the Galaxy: Jedi vs Sith In the Star Wars universe there is something known as The Force. The force flows through all beings and certain individuals can command The Force to provide them abilities normal people don’t have. Those gifted with the force chose between following the light or the darkside, followers of the light are called Jedi and followers of the dark are known as Sith. These orders are very similar but also different in some key ways. Both the Jedi and Sith are orders…

The Good news of Matthew is an onlooker story composed for a group of people of devotees, under awesome pressure, and abuse. Matthew builds up a philosophical plot joining family history, addresses, anecdotes, bury and intratextual references, basic vocabulary, and satisfaction citations, with a strain that works as we are welcomed into the story. The torturous killing and revival convey us to a Christological peak that emblematically indicates past its decision God's Kingdom, bringing expiation…

MRS 325: The relationship between the Gospel of Luke and Acts The Gospel According to Luke as well as the Acts of the Apostles collectively make up 27 percent of the information of the whole New Testament. These two works were authored by Luke, a Gentile believer (Colossians 4:10-14). Seeing that he just authored these two books, which his writings constitute over one fourth of the New Testament writings (making Luke the greatest possible author), the study of the content and message is quite…

Rey Kenobi Theory In the recent film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, many have surmised that the protagonist Rey, is Luke Skywalker’s daughter. In this essay, I will argue that Rey is not his daughter, but is in fact Obi-Wan Kenobi’s granddaughter. The reasons supporting this theory are, Maz Kanata implying that Luke is not a part of her family tree, the aura Rey emits is more powerful than a Skywalker 's, thus leading to the theory that Obi-Wan is in fact, Rey 's grandfather. Rey is a 19 year…

The Gospel of Luke for Everyone Reflection Paper In the book The Gospel of Luke for Everyone by N.T. Wright there are multiple themes coming through throughout the passages in his teachings on the book of Luke from the New Testament. N. T. Wright writes about Luke speaking on love, healing, prayer, faith, traveling, and following without question. Travelling in obedience to God’s call is one of Luke’s central pictures for what it means to be Christian (Wright, p.117). The major theme that is…

I chose to do my analytical review on The Gospel of Mark. Mark is known as The Gospel of the Wonder-Working Servant. The book of Mark is written by John Mark, in Rome between 60-70 c.e. Mark’s beginning of religious followings came when he accompanied Barnabas and Paul on the first missionary journey. After that journey Barnabas wanted to take Mark on the second journey, but Paul would not let him go because he said he was a failure, so Barnabas and Paul went back to Cypress. According to the…

INTRODUCTION The Gospel of Luke and John were written respectively by two of Jesus Christ’s followers. John was a fisherman, chosen by Jesus to become a part of his close circle of followers the disciples. Luke, on the other hand, was a physician by profession that did not know Jesus personally, but gained his insight from speaking with those that had firsthand knowledge of Jesus. They each present the accounts of Jesus’ life with their own individual perspective, thereby giving the reader a…

in scripture. For example, in Mark 2:1-12 Jesus heals a man who is paralyzed, saying “Get up, take your mat and go home”. Further, in Luke there are two accounts of Jesus raising the dead, in chapter 7 the son of the widow of Nain, and in chapter 8 the daughter of Jairus. Similarly, there are multiple accounts of Jesus conducting the “downfall of demons”, in Luke 11, Jesus encounters a man who is mute because of a demon, one he casts the demon out the man is able to speak again. In fact, “He…

The stories of Jesus are represented through the four New Testament Gospels: Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Each Gospel emphasizes on particular principles that represent Jesus differently. Jesus is seen as the suffering Messiah in all four Gospels, but each Evangelist puts in his own intake, hence expanding on the original Markan portrait of Jesus. The writers of the Gospels give their own theological assertions, and understandings, which in effect creates a new portrait of Jesus for each…
