“ A hero is an ordinary individual who find the strength to preserve and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”("Christopher Reeve Quote." ). Being a hero is a responsibility, but the ones who do not give up even when they are put in the most difficult positions and put their best effort forth in any situation. When having to choose a more epic hero, many qualities come into play. Between Gilgamesh and Noah, I believe that Noah is a strong hero. Yet, I also believe that Gilgamesh is a…

Racism is when a group of a certain race will exclude, and or harm other races because of the differences in each group. Racism started before the middle ages where Jews were identified with the devil and witchcraft causing and future generations to be discriminated and excluded by other races. Another early sign to racism is the Renaissance and Reformation period when an assortment of people from Africa and Asia that had more contrasting characteristics from the Europeans started to interact…

The book of Genesis is divided in to two, chapters one through eleven and chapters twelve through fifty. The first eleven chapters of Genesis tells an authoritative story about how God created the world. Many modern historians only loosely accept what the scriptures say about history, this means that while scriptures have been semi accepted as a reliable source of information, there is still disconnection between todays popular history and history according to the scriptures. The Genre of…

Beginning at a young age, we all start to hear narratives and after a while the stories become embedded into our minds. The stories represent much more than simple tales, rather they provide us lessons about ourselves and the world around us. Narratives offer a way to teach, without lecturing. The details in the story stay in our memory, making it much easier to remember the morals the tale exemplifies. Every culture has their own tales that tell their history or beliefs. For example, we have…

The differences between the Tanakh and the Qur’an, on the story of Noah, start at the beginning and don’t end there. At the beginning of the account of Noah in the Qur’an, Noah is instructed to warn the people of a great chastisement from Allah, while in the beginning of the Tanakh the reason for God’s anger is explained in detail. The first major difference between the Qur’an and the Tanakh is who Noah is. In the Qur’an Noah is a prophet of a sort. In the Tanakh, Noah is just a man who has…

Shem, Ham, and Japheth all three had wives when the family entered the ark. God told Noah, “You shall enter the ark – you and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you”. (Gen. 6:18) Darren Aronofsky's “Noah” shows that only Shem has a wife who later becomes pregnant with two girls. Giant mythical rock creatures (watchers) obviously did not exist in the time…

structured essay in an original format. First, a background into Noah. Noah himself is a somewhat preternatural historical character who appears in 9 books of the Bible. He first emerges in the biblical record at an extraordinary age of 500 years with Shem, his first of three pre-flood sons, thence goes on to live to 950 years. The symbolism of his inhuman age reflects Genesis’s inaccuracies of scientific timekeeping (Eliyahuk, 2012), but moreso shows him as timeless, ageless, wise and…

The topic Biblicist Racism in the readings that were done in the class talked about various different questions that many of us have. This topic is well known by most people in the United States.

Can you imagine a world, where the Bible is used as a tool in 245 years of American slavery? Although, physical slavery ended in 1865, mental slavery still continues in America today. During the times of slavery, the slave owners would recite a variety of passages from the Old Testament to justify the immoral act of slavery. Uneducated misinterpretations of the bible have implanted true horror stories in the psyches of many African-Americans. Did the bible justify American slavery? No,…
