Piss Christ

The Vesperbild and the Pieta are funeral monument pieces conveying the emotions of pity, passion, and pain. Christ and the Virgin Mary effectively capture and translate those emotions from the artists’ imagination. Each sculpture successfully depicts the death of Christ, which Mary holds upon her lap in vein with high details as well. Most importantly, both sculptors found it fit to extend a particular style which they made their own when sculpting. Beyond the Vesperbild and the Pieta both…

Gibson used more than just use the basic story of Christ’s death in the film. For example the crucification details were taken from The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This book is based on the visions a German nun called Anne Catherine Emmerich. She believed that her visions had much more than the Gospel version of the story of Christ's suffering. For exmaple, in the part where the Gospels only tell that Jesus was being whipped, she added much more detail that grabbed Gibson’s…

Throughout the years the “Passion of the Christ” movies have been used to tell the story about Christ’s death and resurrection. Then in 2004 Mel Gibson made his version of the movie and as I like to say brought it in to the 21st century with updated graphics, violence, and blood. The combination of images, faith, and history this film truly was like no other Passion of Christ movie ever done. The Passion of the Christ is a serious and deep piece of cinematography, it not just show us how much…

they can lose everything, including their life. The word passion was very popular in 2004 when the movie “The Passion of Christ” came out. The word passion had its complete meaning when this word was used in comparison to the death of Jesus Christ. Jesus actions show and say the true meaning of passion. A large amount of scholars have studied the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, his physical and mental damage began when Pilate was responsible for him. Roman soldiers were the people that damaged…

Stephen Crane characterized the characters of the novel through their actions and interactions with other characters during the story. Such as Jimmie, from the opening scene it was obvious he was violent and did not care much for rules and even his own safety. In the opening fight scene Stephen Crane wrote,“In the yells of the whirling mob of Devil’s Row children there were notes of joy like songs of triumphant savagery. The little boys seemed to leer gloatingly at the blood upon the other…

P & P- Journal 4 In the Foreword section of book, The Hidden Lives of Congregations, Ronald W. Richardson mentions that pastoral leadership has the capability to “influence” people. (vi) In the Introduction, the author Israel Galindo states definition of church. (12) The author argues that the basis of working of congregations is “systemic relationships.” (1) This is more elaborated in his words about congregation as “family.” (7, 8) The purpose of introducing this understanding is to help…

In chapter 18 of How to Read Literature Like a Professor the main idea is how drowning is symbolic of baptism. In Morrison’s Song of Solomon, Milkman gets wet three times, an allusion to the form of Christian baptism in which the person is submerged three times in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. But it is not always baptism, it can mean something different like in Africa, drowning is associated with the Middle Passage. The Middle Passage is the mysterious, treacherous, and a…

For a great deal of kids, summer is the best time of the year. They can enjoy to the beach, hang out with friends and enjoy their time in the sun. I was always the oddball that felt the opposite. I hated summer. In fact, I used to despise it. From birth to even today, I was always considered the “fat kid” because I was overweight, despite the fact that I never touched junk food or ate excessively. It is just in my genes. I remember being in elementary school and wearing sweaters all year round…

In my ethnographic trip I headed to a Non-Denomination Hispanic Christian Church. They hold services every weekend so I specifically chose Sunday night to hear their message. I chose this church because I have a grandmother who attends here and I felt comfortable to have someone I knew guide me. My initial thoughts prior to visiting this church was the same as the other churches I had visited before. I expected to walk in and sit down with no one really paying much attention to me. I was also…

the lost, restore the fallen and renew the passion. They have a three part philosophy; belong, believe, and become. They believe that anyone can belong to the church even if you do not believe, unsure, or if you do not have a relationship with Christ. They want you to know that you are loved, welcomed, and accepted the way you are. I was surprised that I felt that. Walking into the building, by myself,…
