    One cannot help but love the uniqueness of this gospel. It gives an intriguing, symbolic message to present the story of Jesus. We also encounter Jesus in a way we had never seen prior. He tends to speak in full discourses to address situations rather than speaking in parables as seen in the Synoptic gospels (LTJ, pg. 469). John’s gospel also presents us with information that is not recorded in any other gospel.…

    John's relationship with the church during the latter years of his life was a rather turbulent one, which underwent several changes. The turmoil began upon Hubert Walter's death in 1205, when it could not be decided who was going to be the new Archbishop of Canterbury. It could be argued that this was a change in John's relationship with the church, but it is perhaps more significant that it was the catalyst for a huge chain of events that would change John's relationship with the Church more significantly. Some historians hold the view that 'the basic cause of the quarrel was the issue of who was to appoint the archbishop of Canterbury when Hubert Walter died in 1205'.1 The schism created by the opposing opinions on who was to be elected as Archbishop of Canterbury was hugely significant, and in a letter to from Pope Innocent III to the bishops in England, in 1207, Innocent writes that John is 'persecuting'2 Stephen Langton.…

    The Proto-Gospel of James, also referred to as the Infancy Gospel of James, is one of several non-canonical Gospels written in the second century. Though the Proto-Gospel of James (“proto-” as it describes events prior to Jesus’ birth, life, and death) is considered scripture by some groups and includes characters and events discussed in the canonical Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, the narrative was not ultimately included in the canonized New Testament, as opponents of the Proto-Gospel of James argue that it verges on Mariolatry (the idolatrous worship of the Virgin Mary) for its focus not on Jesus, but the Immaculate Conception and virginity of Mary. The narrative describes Mary as a perpetual virgin; she is conceived by the Holy…

    VI. Liturgical Analysis Another way to examine this scriptural passage is liturgically or how the Church today keeps the Gospel in living Tradition. This is important because the Gospels and scripture are not just for the times they happened but they are read and explained especially during the liturgy of the mass because they are words that all peoples should live by. John 2:1-11 is proclaimed during the second Sunday in ordinary time. Paired with the Gospel are two readings; the first being from the book of Isaiah and the second reading is from the book of Corinthians.…

    In times of sorrow, especially the loss of a loved one, some people turn to religion. In many ways, religion can be helpful to cope with a death, but other times it can be abused; used to submerge in and forget the outside world. In the novel A Death In The Family, written by James Agee, Mary is an abuser of religion. In addition to being used for self-medicating, religion is displayed in a negative light throughout the novel. An overcasting theme in many scenes, a disreputable view of faith is at the heart of this book.…

    The Secret Book of John is a Gnostic text that was found along with a large collection of other Gnostic text near the Egyptian city of Nag Hammadi in 1945. Scholars date the Secret Book of John to have been written at some point prior to AD 180 since Saint Irenaeus knew of its existence. The Secret Book of John primarily contains a discussion Jesus had with his disciple, John. Its content describes the Gnostic beliefs on creation and the nature of God. The account describes the presence of a single, perfect supreme God as well as the existence of Aeons – divine beings described as “emanations” of God.…

    The Gospels of The New Oxford Annotated Bible aim to tell of the life of Jesus Christ. The authors build the narratives around the Father-Son relationship of God and Jesus because of how much of an impact God’s sacrifice has on Jesus’ ministry. “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life” (John 3:16). Throughout the book of John, Jesus repeatedly says that he is the Son of God, the Son of Man, and God. If Jesus is both the Son of God and God, then it follows that God himself is the Son of Man as well.…

    The purpose of this essay is for the Writer to analyze and establish the guiding principles and relevant data that support a clear and compelling definition of death from the perspective of one educated in pastoral thanatology. With this said, the writer will analyze and establish supporting data from the perspective of thanatology to include: 1) Analyzing 1 Corinthians 15:26 and Romans 5: 15 regarding the origins of death; 2) Anderson’s view of death as a part of Creation; and 4) Erickson’s view of conditional immortality and physical death as a consequence of sin. Background While the topic of death and dying can be painful and unpleasant for many, thanatology is the study of death and dying and the spiritual contrivance of enduring the process of dying and transition to death of a family member or loved ones.…

    Within his collection of short stories, The Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. Du Bois writes a story of two Johns in chapter thirteen, “Of the Coming of John.” This chapter is significant within the book because it presents the dilemma that blacks faced in society even after the abolishment of slavery. Du Bois portrays how being white corresponded with being privileged and how despite the effort blacks put into becoming something other than what society intended them to be and aspiring for greater things, they were still seen as unequal and beneath the white race. Du Bois introduces the story of a black John and a white John who both grew up in the same town.…

    In this essay, I will be talking about what I believe to be true from what Jesus tells us in the Bible, about being the Son of God and how He was here to die on the cross for our sins, showing everyone who He was and who ever believe in Him is save, or healed if they were sick. In this paper, I will be talking about the trustworthiness and historicity of the Gospels. The historical reliability of the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles, and did Jesus claim to be God. Did his disciples believe he was God? The accuracy of the resurrection accounts in the Gospels, that is, did Jesus rise bodily from the dead?…

    A third theme is that Jesus’s “hour has not come” (cf. 2:4; 7:30; 8:20). John indicates that the “hour” refers to his death, distinguishing his ministry from the point of his suffering (12:23). A fourth theme is that believers will be gathered at the point of Jesus’s death. Jesus, the good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep, will gather them to himself (10:15–16). In the upper room discourse, Jesus states explicitly that he will draw all people to himself when he is “lifted up” (12:32).…

    John’s Gospel is set out to prove that Jesus Christ is God. God came in human flesh as Jesus Christ to show His people His great works through miracles and teachings. During Jesus’ time on this earth, He used the claim “I AM” to describe himself throughout all His teachings. The Gospel of John shows at least eight different times Jesus says this. Seven of these claims were accompanied by signs to back up His words.…

    Additionally, the cross of the Incarnate Word has become the trophy for all who might believe on the fact that God took what shows humanity’s frailty and made it life for humanity and knowledge of God. Coming to the conclusion of the book, Athanasius gives an apology to unbelieving Jews and Gentiles who would scorn, mock and slander the Lord Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word. These refutations take the shape of expounding the Hebrew Scriptures for the Jews and giving…

    Before looking at Peter 's preaching, it is helpful to study who Peter was. Peter was a fisherman, a Jew, a Galilean, and a disciple of Jesus Christ. Peter joined the ministry of Jesus at the beginning and studied under Christ for three and half years. During his time with Christ, Peter made many mistakes, but he also had many triumphs. Peter was the only disciple to walk on water, and Peter was in the “inner circle” of Jesus’ disciples.…
