The Poisonwood Bible

to fight for Him, He could ask the Father and the Father would send 72,000 angels immediately. (Matt. 26:53-54) I also read in the Bible that there are ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands and thousands of angels (Rev. 5:11). Although, the number of angels is one of God’s secrets; there’s a crowd of them. The term “guardian angel” does not appear in the Bible; however, there are some verses which teach that God, on occasions, has used angels to guard His children. (Psalms 34:7; Psalms…

Question 1 In Exodus 16:3, the Israelites complained to Moses and Aaron stating, “if only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.” The Israelites were trapped by believing their only food source was from the Pharaoh and agricultural sources. By leaving Egypt and following Moses, the Israelites were being liberated from the constraints of the…

compiled a published book that presents the historical context of Romans through the literature that was present at the time of the composition of the Roman epistle, namely, the Second Temple Judaism era. Plenty of Bible scholars, such as John Piper, study the Bible by only using canonical Bible. Dr. Blackwell, Dr. Goodrich, and Dr. Maston, on the other hand, provided non-canonical literature to provide context. Through providing multiple articles that include insights regarding non-canonical…

There seems to be more similarities between the Bible and other primary sources than there seems to be between the Bible and the film. The film of Noah depicts the story in a dark, twisted and mysterious way. The movie starts off with a basic summary of how evil came into the world. It shows a young Noah receiving a birthright passed…

The three key crisis of Israel that the prophetic literature reacts to are the Assyrian, Babylonia, and the Restoration Crisis. The Assyrian Crisis: The fall of the Northern Kingdom. This era consisted of the following factors that involve Assyria’s expansion into the region of Israel and Judah. This increase led to a complex series of alliances between the various kingdoms involved, as well as fighting-Syria Ephraimitic war. The war was Assyria attempts to expand, Syria and Israel allies for…

is. In the meantime, I would spend all day sitting by his side, and whenever I had the chance to read the Bible to him, I did. It was a very difficult time for me as anyone knows the waiting period is the most stressful because every day I went in I was hoping to hear good news about…

creator of this ad really wants his readers to focus on the fact that if they believe in Jesus Christ, they will be saved. However, I also believe that the creator wants the readers to dig a little deeper and find out more on how to be saved. The Bible also says, “Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe…

A Desire of the Heart Shirley and I were married between the Arts and Theology years of university so our financial resources were very tight. I was working on a tree nursery farm just south of Winnipeg for the summer months between semesters as well as preparing for a move to seminary in Saskatoon. As a result, we could not afford to take off more time than a four-day weekend. This was hardly enough time for my face to heal from all the mosquito bites I had acquired while riding a tree planter…

Shepherd gave an example of how god was willing to be sacrificed as well as being a leader for his people. Stained glass brought light to a beautiful story as well as giving illiterate people a chance to understand the Bible. The printing press allowed for faster access to the Bible, allowing many people access to all the history contained within its…

found Enlightenment and became an idol because of it. Hinduism has no set founder which may be a result of having millions of gods, and because of that, Hinduism’s structure is the simplest with no highest God, no direct revelations from God (ex: The Bible in Christianity), and no real set of commandments. Only the monotheistic religions have an actual afterlife, and even though Hinduism and Buddhism both believe in reincarnation, Hinduism has no achievement towards a set “after-life”. Even…
