Social Gospel

described as the compassionate healer, and do not describe him as angry. Ehrman argues that Mark 1:41 had originally stated that Jesus got angry when the outcasted leper had asked him to heal him. Ehrman also mentions that in another part of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus gets angry when it came to the matter of healing (133-138). This difference in text leaves the reader wondering what caused Jesus to be angry. Was it outcasted leper that angered him or the fact there are harm full diseases in the world?…

addressed to Christians. Romans is a systematic and in-depth explaination of the gospel: man’s sin and his need for salvation, then the process of santification in the believers life, a look of the sovereignty of God as He works throughout Israel’s past, present, and future, and the practicallity of the gospel in the believer’s life as it changes his everyday thoughts and actions. Galatians is a defense of the gospel and the freedom grace brings in the life of a believer. Paul demonstrates…

What are some ways the Christian gospel is perceived in our culture? When Jesus was addressing the subject of the Gospel He was clear and direct about it. He said, that it was through Him alone that Salvation would come to humanity. However, denying that he is a divine being diminishes His promises for eternal life. Perhaps, the majority of today’s society has done that when it comes to the Son of God, Jesus. Furthermore, those who believe in a God believe in a loving God, a loving God would…

In Acts 22, citizens of Jerusalem began advocating for the execution of Paul. To defend himself, Paul gives a speech which attempts to show he has not transgressed the Old Testament Law. His speech concerns the righteousness of spreading the gospel to the Gentiles. He addresses this primarily by demonstrating God has given him instructions to go to the Gentiles. Paul makes this argument shortly before a Roman commander takes him into the barracks to question him. A large crowd gathered around…

Imagine having the opportunity to be the judge of 24 stories and having to pick the very best one. In Chaucer's, The Canterbury Tales, there are 29 pilgrimes in which they are making a pilgrimage to Canterbury. Each pilgrim is to tell at least a tale to and from Canterbury, resulting in 120 tales in which Chaucer was only able to record 24 tales. Within the telling of these stories, there is a contest in which the pilgrim, the Host, chooses the best Tale. In selecting the winning tale the story…

I have experienced much grace through the trouble and poverty I have witnessed through my mission trips to Guatemala. I went to Guatemala June 9-16, 2014, and August 4-11, 2015 (and I plan on going back August 2016). Seeing the conditions these people live in daily, has helped me take to heart the kind of help they are in need of. Many of these people have no home, no family or no money to provide for their family, yet they are still thankful. Most of the time little boys and girls won’t have…

text as “my Father’s house.” This text is the only story of Jesus’ childhood in any of the canonical Gospels. Only Luke found it necessary to include this image of Jesus. Other gospels, like the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, depict Jesus as a child, but these stories are more elaborate. Luke’s image of a young Jesus is more concise and serves a particular function within the larger context of this Gospel. While Matthew, Mark, and John start with a birth story or Jesus’ ministry, this text in Luke…

The letter to the Romans was written by Paul in order to address and clarify his theology. Paul wanted the Romans to have a clear understanding of his Gospel which was from God. The Letter was written around fifty five and fifty eight AD (Gorman 340). Around this time it was believed that Claudius expelled the Jews because of their fighting regarding “Chrestus” a debate about the Messiah (Gorman 340). With the Jews gone the Gentiles took over the Roman church and advanced their leadership skills…
