He wrote his views about social responsibilities of business in Triumphant Democracy (1886) and Gospel of Wealth (1889). He talked about two principles of wealth. First is the principle of charity which requires the most fortunate member of society to assist less fortunate. Second is steward principle…

Everything I have read about the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke reminds me of college writing now and plagiarism; with this said, I could define the synoptic problem as plagiarism. You see the synoptic problem is very close relationships of the writings in these books, by these three. They are very similar in so many ways Mark writing first, then Matthew and Luke following with the same stories just changed up a bit. Kind of like a close plagiarism with quotes and some paraphrasing…

Mahalia Jackson once said, “Blues are the song of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope.” Jackson will forever be known as the Gospel Queen, singing gospel songs. With her powerful and hopeful voice, she could light up a fire in people’s spirits. Born on October 26, 1911 in New Orleans, Jackson lived a very poor life. Living in a dilapidated house, she had to earn her way into this world. Jackson grew to be a major activist of the civil rights movement. She worked with the illustrious…

there are people who are attempting to dissuade the Philippians from following Paul. But Paul does not seem too concerned. In fact, he states that in their attempts to defame, they actually assist him in his own mission to proclaim Christ. How the Gospel is Spread The proclamation of Christ is most powerfully made through the demonstration in one’s life. Paul is confident in his own activity that he is doing exactly what God desires and in so doing imitates Jesus. This imitation is so well done…

itself does not necessarily mean that Christ rose from the dead. In chapter thirteen, however, three separate sources were provided to corroborate the story that Jesus was seen alive after his death on the cross. The words found in Paul’s creed, the gospel accounts, and the Acts of the Apostles are a testament that Jesus did in fact rise from the dead…

The Broader Context: The Gospel of Luke In order to best understand how to properly interpret Luke 16:1-13, it is best to first read the passage in light of its surrounding context—the entire book of Luke. In his introduction, Luke clearly states his purpose in writing this gospel: “so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught,” (Luke 1:4). This is Luke 's purpose statement, but what is the truth the Luke is trying to demonstrate? The main theme Luke wants to convey…

In what way was the social world of Jesus important to his life and teaching? The social world of Jesus was important to his life and teaching for several reasons. In order to understand his teachings, we must first identify certain aspects of the First Century Palestine. We must consider Jesus’ culture and the society in which he was raised. We must also acknowledge the Jewish religion and Jesus’ personal values that influenced who he was. Part of the process is to recognize and understand…

With a variety of candidates running in the 2016 presidential race, there are also a variety of political views. The article “The Gospel of Bernie”, has brought the attention to many people the political views of Bernie Sanders. This article shows Sanders unique approach and ideas to help America and the citizens of the nation. In my opinion, Sanders has good ideas but they are to incommon with communism and are not practical for America. For example, a free education and health care is great…

The document Gaudium et Spes focuses on the role of the Church and its members by promoting Christian Humanism. The gospel states that the roots of being a good Christian is self-giving rather than self-promotion. In order to live up to this standard, one must relate to others. The document states: “It grows increasingly true that the obligations of justice and love are fulfilled only if each person, contributing to the common good, according to his own abilities and the needs of others, also…

the four Gospels are the most interesting, significant, and influential subjects discussed in the second half of this course. The birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ changed the orthodox beliefs that were in place at the time. The new Messiah gave meaning as well as a guide to salvation for humans all around the world. The events of Jesus’ life, as well as his teachings, are translated into a book called “The New Testament”. The New Testament consists of the four Gospels:…
