what a messiah is and why we even need a messiah.. The book shows that when the Jews wanted God to send them down someone they were not satisfied with what God had in store for them. Lastly we see who the messiah God sent is, and how that after most people walked away from the Lord, some were still choosing to follow. As this book goes into great detail addressing all those topics I just mentioned, the overall theme is showing us what a messiah is and what the importance of one is from the point…

Crescent can best be presented from a postmodernist angle as it deals with especially identity, multiculturalism, hybridity, ethnicity, exile, displacement as well as other relevant aspects such as intertextuality, language and narrative technique. Consequently, this study will shed light on the issues of identity, hybridity, exile and displacement. Though this work of Abu Jaber has already received the attention of many critics, I chose this novel of hers because of its relation with the Arabs'…

Luke 7:4-5 – 4When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy of having you do this for him, 5for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.” Continuing this image, Luke 7:4-5 depicts the way the Jewish elders view and describe the centurion. First it is written that, on behalf of the centurion, the elders appealed to Jesus earnestly (Lk 7:4). They do not recommend the centurion begrudgingly, but willingly and with the intent that his request…

all objects. Fear is a very common emotion for most people, like water it can spread easily through an individual or group of people. Therefore, hope and fear are both very different emotions that have two very different meanings. In the book Night hope and fear controls the Jews in multiple ways. In the book, it is stressed that, “Yes, we even doubted his resolve…

Perez gives his view on why the Spanish Inquisition took place. The Spanish Inquisition began with the discrimination against any religion that opposed the Catholic Church in Spain. They mainly targeted the religious beliefs of Judaism making Jewish people and conversos the victims. Many Jews and Muslims were forced to leave the country or were persecuted because they could not openly practice their religion and did not want to convert. During this period of time loyalty of the Catholic Church…

The impressions that I get about Christians, Jews and Muslims is that they all wanted what they believed to be the best thing for their people. They all fought wars against each other while they also benefited from each other. They all trade goods between then and help grow their communities and cities. Some were taken over and rebuilt and torn down again. The MUslims knew what they wanted when they invaded in 711, they most likely wanted everyone to end up being Muslim. In 732 Islam was…

Society throughout Europe changed drastically for many groups in the wake of the First World War. The nation-state of Poland was created, and many other borders were completely redrawn. The people began to have clear differences based on nationality and region, but were also very different within their own populations. This included the communities of Jews in these countries. The lives of Henry Buxbaum and Esther show that, while the Jews of West and East Europe during the interwar period had…

dehumanization to belittle Jews to mere “things”; objects with no purpose other than to be a nuisance. The Nazis were brutal in their endeavor to wipe out the “insignificant and worthless” Jewish race, mainly forcing their despicable horrors upon the Jewish people in German concentration camps. Although the majority of the dehumanization of the Jews was in German concentration camps, there was also a great deal of injustice towards them long before ending up in those camps. In the first six…

Abandoned by Stan Telchin reveals his personally journey, 20th century viewpoints of Jewish people, and ways to reach Jewish people for Yeshua. Immediately in the first chapter, Telchin captured my attention with his testimony of the opposition he encountered after accepting Yeshua. Once it was known in the Jewish community that he had received Yeshua, Telchin was immediately pegged as an outsider. He was no longer one of “them”. He details an example of the “us” versus “them” mentality that…

positions of domination and subordination. In society, everyone is called normal until they find someone who is exactly the opposite. People act against others because they do not understand why they are so different. In The Book of Unknown Americans written by Cristina Henriquez, a character named Maribel was othered because she had a brain injury, though many people first say her as a normal pretty girl they would usually see on the street. Mary Anne from The Things they Carried written by Tim…
