mystical form. Instead of a grand halo, we see a modest light encircling His head, and the greater draw is towards His posture in calling the saint-to-be, Matthew. But there are other elements that may suggest Divinity – for instance, the great beam of light shining through the window casts a forceful presence and unnatural spotlight on Levi (Matthew). The light itself may be significant in spiritual symbolism as there is no shadow projected behind Levi, rather, his whole face and upper body…

but with a closer look, they would see attempts at making the art three-dimensional. With The Lindisfarne Gospels, one will notice that there are four gospels (Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John). Focusing on Matthew’s page of the book, it is obvious how much care and detail went into the painting. The attempts to make the clothing on Matthew look like it has some dimension and like it has rumples is…

Near the end of the movie, actor Matthew McConaughey enters a black hole and gains access to a higher-dimensional world. In this higher-dimensional world, time is represented as a three-dimensional space. McConaughey can move around in this space and access any moment in time in his daughter’s…

The most important theme found in the three synoptic gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke is the divine necessity of Jesus; this theme can also be found in the non-canonical gospel of Judas. This theme is an important building block for Christianity. The divine necessity of Jesus is that he must be rejected by man and killed by man. There are many passages in the four gospels that show this theme. In the synoptics, the four most important are, the passion prediction scenes, the parable of the wicked…

who stereotype that go against homosexuals. Hence, they decided to attack and murder Matthew. Even though the people of Laramie were not at complete fault of what happened to Matthew, they played a part in creating stereotypes toward homosexuals. As a result, they gave Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson the impression that Matthew being gay is unacceptable to the society. So they attacked and murdered Matthew without even thinking if it is morally correct or wrong to do as they already felt…

Synoptic Gospels, both Matthew 5:1-12 and Luke 6:20-26, in the New Testament. This teaching discusses people who are blessed and what they will receive, and this story is noted as an important teaching from the Gospels in the New Testament. The Beatitudes in both the Gospels of Matthew and Luke have overarching similarities, but there are also differences that make each story unique and help to convey a specific intention the author wants his audience to pick up on. In Luke and Matthew, Jesus…

Paulo Passolini’s heart touching film, The Gospel According to St. Matthew, illustrates the life of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Matthew is considered as one of the important gospels in the bible because it “…contains an extensive account of Jesus’ teachings…”, which helps individuals understand the Christian religion even more precise (“New Testament of the Bible”). Passolini not only was able to capture a visual chronicle of the gospel but also engages his audiences to feel connected to our…

Synoptic Gospels are written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to share with others the life, ministry and death of Jesus Christ. In the Gospels, there are different portrayals of the Jews that have hindered the way people read the Gospels today. A majority of the Gospel is interpreted with an anti-Semitic point of view. Anti-Semitism can be defined as the prejudice against, hatred of, or discrimination against Jews as an ethnic, religious, or racial group. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all…

emphasized in the context (5:33; 6:12), especially before Jesus’ important decision (6:12). Analysis of the Thematic Modifications Luke omits most of Mark’s material. He only keeps enough information to let his audience know where he borrows the story. In his introduction, Luke omits “Once again [he went out] along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them” (Mk 2:13). In this omission, the theme of companionship between Jesus with his disciples and with the crowd was removed. Luke…

Jesus in the Gospels is the Kingdom of God. Through allegories, analogies and parables, the Gospel authors try to explain the nature, timing, and requirements of the Kingdom of God. Matthew most often refers to the “Kingdom of Heaven,” perhaps because of the Jewish custom of not saying the name of God, although Matthew is not consistent in this practice, occasionally using the term “Kingdom of God.” The consensus seems to be that these two terms are synonymous. Parables are analogous stories…
