Scholarly study of the Gospels utilizes either a critical methodology or one where the Gospels are seen as an authority set by God due to being sacred text (Harris, 2011).

2016 has been filled with vicious rivalries: Black Lives vs. Blue Lives, Vote Leave vs. Stronger In, Clinton vs. Trump, but none can top the 160-year-old battle which continues to ravage the homeland of Wawa, bagels, and Bruce Springsteen. Not all speak up, but all have an opinion; some even consider this contention to be New Jersey’s own Civil War. Each side is deeply devoted, unwaveringly loyal, prepared to fight for their cause, taking their conviction to the grave. Starting in 1865, this…
