The Gospel of Mark has a particular style of setting the scene of Jesus death. We are going to examine how Mark puts a dramatic emphasis in the death of Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the climax of Mark’s dramatic narration. In addition, Mark tells the story in such an ambiguous way for the purpose of the reader to make their own inferences. In the gospel of mark, the narration mentions that there were bystanders provoking Jesus to drink the sour wine while mocking…

and the villain. Luke Skywalker is the obvious hero of the story as he leaves his home to go fight to save Princess Leia from Alderaan. Princess Leia is the damsel in distress and that becomes apparent when she sends the hologram message to Obi Wan exclaiming that she needs to be rescued. The message stated, “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.” Obi Wan is the sage in the film. A sage is defined as a mentor or a respected elder and that is exactly what he is to Luke. Finally the…

Perhaps, one observation of the predicaments of the four Gospels will suggest that the author of Matthew composed his Gospel by copying and editing the sources of Mark, Q and M. Nevertheless, by examining his literature, one may find several selections of his arrangements filled perhaps, with his own interpretation and understandings of the actual Kerugma, fundamentals and traditions in which he worked on. On of which is the way Matthew makes his own characteristics of the theology relating to…

allies and friends, had finally paid off. The Empire was done. A low groan dragged Luke out of his thoughts, bringing him back to the nearly deserted halls of Home One. He adjusted his arm, pulling Leia's slumping form closer to him. She usually didn't drink, but the fall of an unjust government was enough to get her slamming back shots of Corellian…

We have seen this in empire strikes back with Darth Vader speaking to Luke telepathically in empire strikes back ,a nd Darth sidious speakimg with Anikij Skywalker in revenge of the sith, however.......it was reasonable? And as a matter of fact, Kylo and Rey’s interactions in the Last Jedi were much stronger than before seen, as the two…

Enslaved or Empowered Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi (1983) is part of an iconic franchise and includes the infamous slave Leia. When Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) is captured by Jabba the Hutt she is forced to wear a metal bikini while chained to Jabba himself. Earlier this year Disney was rumored to be taking the slave Leia merchandise off store shelves. This could be due to the sexually revealing nature of the outfit which contradicts Disney’s more family friendly orientation. However, many…

In the New Testament there are four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. “Each one of the Gospels was written to provide a unique perspective on the person and work of Jesus Christ”. The Gospels are broken down into two parts, the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) and the Gospel of John. The Synoptic Gospels are separated from the Gospel of John based on their shared stories and language. The Gospel of John provides a more theological outlook on the story of Jesus Christ. From our Four…

Jones states that two Gospels in the Bible were based to accounts of eyewitnesses. The testimony of Luke claims to be of “those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning” and John’s Gospel is based on the claims of the apostle John, “ the one who saw this has testified, his testimony is true”. These Gospels use the support of eyewitnesses to push the truth. This is pointed out by Jones as he discusses Mark’s Gospel was around 70 A.D., which means that there had to be people still alive who were…

Back when all parables were created, society was strict and very much incompliant to different views, and the parables would create a moral standard in which would overcome society’s rigid rules. When used in context of today’s society, though, how relevant can these parables be to such a vastly different world? In accordance to David Brooks’ column from the New York Times, parables are still very relevant, for when it comes to the parable of the Prodigal Sons, Brooks defends the father within…
