I chose to do my analytical review on The Gospel of Mark. Mark is known as The Gospel of the Wonder-Working Servant. The book of Mark is written by John Mark, in Rome between 60-70 c.e. Mark’s beginning of religious followings came when he accompanied Barnabas and Paul on the first missionary journey. After that journey Barnabas wanted to take Mark on the second journey, but Paul would not let him go because he said he was a failure, so Barnabas and Paul went back to Cypress. According to the…
Jesus who died for all sinners. Another aspect of Israel in the death and resurrection of Jesus is the creation of a new covenant. Jesus sheds his blood to create this new covenant, fulfilling the final part of the covenant with Abraham. The Mosaic covenant provided a great nation, the Davidic covenant produced a great name, but the eternal blessing had not been fulfilled until the new covenant with Jesus.

Eyes of a Witness Have you ever asked yourself what you want to do with your life, and have you ever asked yourself what your purpose is in life? Also, have you ever asked yourself what path you should take in your life, and have you ever asked yourself where your journey should begin and end?

world differently regarding materialism, naturalism, deism, polytheism and many unseeing manners (Dockery& Thornbury, 2002). Seeing things in these perspectives provides direction and bearings when faced with different situations and challenges of new age, spirituality, secularity and pluralistic approaches to truth and morality (Dockery &Thornbury 2002).

INTRODUCTION The Gospel of Luke and John were written respectively by two of Jesus Christ’s followers. John was a fisherman, chosen by Jesus to become a part of his close circle of followers the disciples. Luke, on the other hand, was a physician by profession that did not know Jesus personally, but gained his insight from speaking with those that had firsthand knowledge of Jesus. They each present the accounts of Jesus’ life with their own individual perspective, thereby giving the reader a…
everyone is different and they have a different relationship with the text. Although I disagree with Carvalhos interpretation, I know that neither her nor I will ever know the right interpretation to the passage, but from my experience with the Old and New testament I have come to the conclusion that both books are linked together by these prophecies and their…
