Luke the Evangelist

likely that Mark’s gospel was written first. It is agreed that Luke’s gospel borrowed text from Mark, therefore Luke “most probably used Mark as his primary source.” (Muddiman 134) There are instances in which Luke’s gospel differs from Mark, changing some aspects, and omitting others. In these instances, it is possible that some of these are derived from the gospel of Matthew. Furthermore, Luke adds to the gospel of Mark many occurrences which “...in varying degrees of closeness, are found also…

In Act 5 of Hamlet, we see more and more allusions and their connotations. Previously, majority of these have been to Greek mythology and Christianity. Unsurprisingly, there’s more of these allusions in Act 5! Scene 1 of Act 5 actually starts with an allusion to Christian belief; “Is she to be buried in Christian burial, when she wilfully seeks her own salvation?” (5.1.1-2) This question by a gravedigger references the fact that probably at the time (maybe now too) Christian burial rites and…

better life for others, Luke Skywalker is definitely a hero. Luke is a teenager who lived with his aunt and uncle. He would work for his uncle as a farmer. He heard of Princess Leia when he met R2-D2 and C3PO. R2D2 projected a hologram of Princess Leia asking Obi-wan-kenobi for help. Luke wanted Princess Leia, but she was captured by Darth Vader, so he went on an adventure to save her. However, this is where the refusal of call comes in. It is getting late and Luke has to return home.…

for Chancellor Palpatine this process was relatively simplistic. Deriving from the fact, that prior to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope Anakin Skywalker witnessed the death during childbirth of his belated wife Padme Amadala while giving birth to Luke Skywalker. Therefore, Anakin enters the typical ethical dilemma, through which both sides of the force try to impose their spiels as to what the “better” coping mechanism for Anakin would be because of his loss. The Republic viewpoint on how he…

Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi lead a clone army against the Separatist droid army on Christophsis. The two Jedi greet a shuttle carrying the Jedi initiate Ahsoka Tano, who says that Jedi Master Yoda assigned her as Anakin's Padawan. Anakin reluctantly accepts Ahsoka and the two deactivate the Seperatist forcefield while Obi-Wan stalls the droid army , taking a victory for the Republic. This gives Ahsoka Anakin's respect. After the battle, Yoda arrives and informs the Jedi that…

waiting until now, Luke Cage avoided feeling too similar to many other superhero stories that can’t resist showing us a character’s history right away. Had it waited any longer, it could have run the risk of putting too much distance between the audience and the action happening in present day. Since nothing too epic has happened yet – ok, the explosion, but we all knew Luke would survive – this completely avoids that concern. In fact, the excitement of seeing Luke Cage become Luke Cage,…

Recitation Six: Jesus, Nicodemus, and the Samaritan Woman As we continue to study and probe the Synoptic Gospels it is more and more obvious that further investigation is needed to uncover the distinctive emphases of each author. Therefore, we have been using certain methodologies such as redactional criticism to help examine these emphases. This particular methodology is meant to determine what's important to authors by understanding how they used their sources. Although this proves effective…

new Death Star (a Death Star is a human made planet that can destroy another planet).

The passage Mark 5:21-43 tells the story of faith and how two critically ill “daughters” who were beyond human help were healed by Jesus Christ (Guelich 304). The story takes place as Jesus crosses a lake into the Gentile territory. Once he arrived on land he was surrounded by people that came all over to see him. The president of the synagogue named Jarius approached him at once and pleaded “Jesus my little daughter is close to death you must come and put your hands on her so she will live”…

Within a society dominated by a hierarchical structure of riches and poverty, purity and defilement, and honor and shame, the message in Luke calls for a reversal of such values. Throughout his Gospel, Luke employs a plethora of literary techniques in Mary’s Song, Jesus’ initial Sermon, and the parables and stories of the Rich and the Kingdom of God, the Rich Fool, the Shrewd Manager, and The Rich Man and Lazarus in order to portray a theme of universality and to call followers to live simply…
