Byzantine art, especially Byzantine icons, can be commonly be referred to as sacred art. As described by art historian, Herbert Read, Byzantine art is “the purest form of religious art that Christianity has experienced.” (Cavarnos, pg. 25). Due to Byzantine art’s deep rooting in the Christian faith, most of the depictions of this art period are religious figures. Most of the icons are closely associated with wooden panel painting (Brooks, p. 1). The many themes found within Byzantine art are…

A hero is perceived in multiple ways. Heros are admired for their achievements and noble qualities. Jesus and Charlemagne embody these noble qualities that give them recognition as heros. The noble qualities that Jesus and Charlemagne share are courage and humility. Through these qualities, Jesus and Charlemagne strengthen their followers views on Christianity. The development of Christianity through Jesus largely contributed to Charlemagne’s enhancement of Christianity through in empire…

Throughout the sacred text of the bible, Jesus revealed many truths that resonate and apply to leadership practices of today. Many of those nuggets of truth were spoken in parabolic form. Jesus employed parables in situations when He wanted His listeners to open their minds to some new and abstract content” (Fønebø, 2011, p. 22). Jesus used parables in “everyday situations when He wanted to clarify something, give a response to questions or criticism, or when He was interrupted by incidents”…

In the Gospel of Luke, there is one story that tends to draw my attention. This story is commonly known as “A Sinful Woman is Forgiven”. In this gospel, Jesus is invited to eat at the house of a Pharisee. When he arrives, he is greeted with a woman who is infamous for being a sinner. She begins to weep over Jesus’ feet and washes them with her tears. Afterwards, she dries his feet with her hair. She then continues to kiss his feet and anoint them with ointment. As this is going on, the pharisee…

Essay 4 —“The Synoptic Gospels” The nature of the four Gospels When one opens the New Testament, he is introduced to four narratives which are concerned with the activity and teaching of Jesus of Christ. These records are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These four Gospels constitute a single literary genre and their central message is distinctive. Their content is similar, but their presentation of Jesus takes on a slightly different form. Each Gospel differs from the other. John is the most…

we can have with God that will change our lives. He taught that God's’ love will heal us and make us whole again and that God even loves sinners. Jesus preached the Reign of God as he travelled with his apostles. Matthew and John were apostles and Luke and Mark were apostolic men. The second stage was when the Gospels were taught orally by his apostles and disciples for around 40 years. These people knew him or his apostles and Jesus’ teachings well. Because Jesus had been…

that Jesus was a great prophet, Elijah returned, or John the Baptist raised from the dead. King Herod was disturbed by this as Herod had been the one to order the death of John the Baptist. This event can also be found in Matthew 14:1-12 and Luke 9:7-9 and Luke 3:19-20. The passage from the Gospel of Mark in Throckmorton’s Gospel Parallels is as follows: 14King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had been known. Some were saying, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this…

The movie, The Gospel of John, follows just one gospel: The Gospel of John. The Gospel of John (film) follows exactly what the scripture says. When I looked up the movie on Netflix, I found that there are also several versions of the movie to accompany different versions of the Bible, including the New International Version, and the New King James Version. However, even though the narration of the movie follows the scripture directly, there were some scenes that were added in. For example, John…

of Jesus, the terminology, historic details, and cultural traditions used in each Gospel suggest the four Gospels were intended for different audiences. Analyzing the Jewish references of Matthew, the Roman traditions of Mark, the Greek mythology of Luke, and the contemporary styles of John will help clarify these specific audiences. Matthew Many believe the Gospels should have started with Mark, because “as far as we know, [Mark] first applied the term “gospel” to a book telling the story of…
