The Biblical Metanarrative A metanarrative is a story about stories of historical meaning, experience, or knowledge, which offers a society legitimation through the anticipated completion of a master idea. Though people may categorize the metanarrative of the Bible differently, there are four major parts that stand out as someone reads through the Bible. There will be some repetition of concepts as each one is discussed because each part is so closely related. The first concept will build the…

send someone who will save human through the seed of woman. Beside this verse, there are many scriptures such as Isaiah 7:14 and Isaiah 9:6-7 clearly give an idea of the person of Christ coming as a prophecy who will redeem the world. Therefore, the Old Testament describes the image of God as a promise and prophecy of Jesus. When it comes about the New Testament, the contexts witness that Jesus Christ indeed came to people being a person. In this case, “Christology from above” approach will be…

Striving to complete working days and care for families at the same time can be overwhelming. However, caring for mom or dad effected by dementia continues to be a heightened concern for many working families. Generally, it is family, frequently women family members, who will either search for needed help intended for their loved one or will ultimately become the caretaker. Fortunately, the Duke Center for the Study of Aging has an elder care consultation service department on campus. This…

young adults, plateaus near midlife, and then will continue to decline as the adult reaches and exceeds the age of 65. Studies have also shown that once an individual reaches the age of 60, their self-esteem will remain stable. Individuals who are very old age or close to death experience many changes including health constraints that challenge the way that they evaluate themselves. Control in one’s life, such as behavior, finances, and the ability to adapt to daily challenges, has been…

In his letter to the Romans, Paul’s use of Old Testament events and illustrations proclaimed the glory of Jesus Christ by encouraging and teaching believers how to obtain righteousness through faith. Jesus’ death on the cross fulfilled the prophecy of the Law so that all who believed would receive justification through faith. This research paper focuses on how Paul presented God’s covenant through Abraham’s submissive trust and enduring obedience, to help both the Jew and the Gentiles interpret…

Violent incidents occurred in both Gilgamesh and the Old Testament and were used several times throughout the texts. Both of these books illustrate violence, and this violence is in the story for a reason. Violence in both of the books have meaning, or a point behind why the violence was happening. Even pointless violence, which happened in both books, at the end had a point or a lesson to be learned from the violence. Also, in both Gilgamesh and the Old Testament the violence can be justified…

INTRODUCTION In this essay, I will define, outline, and discuss ageism. I will further give examples of two situations for which I believe age discrimination would be acceptable and two more situations for which I believe age discrimination would not be acceptable, with explanations of my reasoning for each scenario. I will then discuss whether or not older people are entitled to protection from employment discrimination as a class and how might a law protecting older people from…

In “Everyday Use”, and “A Clean, Well- Lighted Place,” we see how the division between young/old, naiveté/experience, and nontraditional/tradition play a crucial part in the story’s plot. In Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” there is a recognizable contrast between young/old, naiveté/experience, and nontraditional/tradition. Similar to the young waiter belittling the old drunk man, Dee belittles her old mother for her outdated perspective. Dee creates a barrier between the education of a young…

In my opinionated article written by Karen Li on how “physical and mental exercise contribute to a happy and healthy old age” is that the general idea of keeping active will led to a better and healthier life, reducing the risks of deceases like dementia and other illnesses related to old age. Keeping old folks active will also help the economy by saving around 100$ billion in our health system by reducing the treatments and medicine prescribed. Another benefit of staying active is staying…

In taking Old Testament with Dr. Jones this semester, I have learned numerous things about God and the Bible as a whole. Though lectures and class discussions, I have learned things that have benefitted me far outside the realms of the class. This semester, Dr. Jones has really challenged us to see how what we are learning in class applies to real life, not merely within the walls of the classroom, and that is something I have taken away. I have come to understand that the Bible is indeed living…
