Within our lifetime, the average human could be said to ask existentialist questions regarding their own existence and purpose; these thoughts can naturally progress towards the questioning of life itself from the perspective of God. Why create several billions of people to live on an Earth that is filled with so much corruption, panic, and evil? Christian Anthropology can be thought of as a way to explain the human condition from a theological perspective. Although one does not need to be…
This essay will be an analysis piece on Animal Farm (1945) written by George Orwell (1903 - 1950) through the application of Michael Foucault’s (1926 - 1984) theory of politics of truth (1997) and the idea of Panopticon (1975). By viewing through Foucault’s theories, it will help decipher the intertextuality and the multiple layers of meaning within Orwell’s piece. Animal Farm tells a story of a group of farm animals rebelling against the human beings under the leadership of two pigs, Napoleon…

The Bible is arguably the most important, physical component of Christianity. It is used as a guideline to show us the way to salvation, as well as a means by which we are able to know Him and His will better. Many, however, would question the validity of the Bible. Christians claim that the Bible is infallible, and “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness ...,”(2 Timothy 3:16, ESV) but even Christians disagree as to what are legitimate books of the Bible. Given…

to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” ~Martin Luther King Jr. I’ve written pages and pages here about having an active faith, a walking faith. Nothing shows your faith to the world more than service to your fellow man. One of the sayings of Jesus that’s stuck out to me over the years—one that I try to remind myself of often because I feel I always fall short—is Matthew 10:42. “And whoever gives one…
The Sabbath is a day of rest and worship for the Lord that falls on the seventh day of a seven day cycle. As the details within the commandment explain, the rest day started from the very beginning when God finished His creation in six days and rested on the seventh day (King James Version, Gen. 2.1-3). Rest is a recognition of God: ceasing usual labour to recognize Him as sovereign (Massee 58). For Israel, the Sabbath had special significance; as it was a law, both civil and religious (Massee…
