Exegetical Analysis Of Isaiah 45:20-25

Introduction The cliché is well known in contemporary American literature and film; in a moment of intense drama, the judge’s stern and ordered demeanor fades and his or her true character breaks through. The raw human emotion surrounding the question and parties involved erupts from the seat of judgment and the entire situation comes to be seen in a new light. After days of evidence, twists, turns, uncertainties, and questions, the situation as it really stands is laid bare and the final judgment required to bring justice becomes clear to all.

The Christology and Ecclesiological Vision of Paul in Philippians and Colossians with a Practical Application for the Modern Church

Introduction Both the epistles to the Philippians and Colossians pivot on hymns seeped in Paul’s Christology. The hymn in Phil 2:6-11 focuses on the unexpected nature of the Messiah who fulfills the prophesies of the prophets while the hymn in Col 1:15-23 focuses on the divinity of Christ and his preeminent status before all things in heaven and earth. Surrounding the two hymns, Paul’s exhortations for new patterns of life and he and his fellow servants’ Christ-template narratives call the “faithful brothers and sisters in Christ”1 in both Philippi and Colossae to a new way life.

Comparative Analysis of the German and American Business Cultures

As a soon to be graduate holding bachelor degrees in both Management Information Systems and German, I recently began to ponder in more detail how exactly my degrees would work together in my career. How could my understanding of the German culture work along side my knowledge of business processes and information systems? After studying a semester in Germany and working on several international project groups the answer to this question was very clear. Read more...

Biblical Christian Similitude and the effects of Contemporary Victorian Ideals in Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market”

Throughout the centuries narratives have been used to instruct, entertain, and to uplift the soul. The many Christian themed poems and narratives of the Victorian period are no exception to this pattern. Christina Rossetti’s poetic narrative, “Goblin Market,” bases itself upon and often mirrors biblical Christian motifs such as temptation, sin, grace and redemption; however, in the final lines of the poem, “Goblin Market” escapes from its similitude to the Christian narrative through the altering of the traditional Christ-like figure to a female savior.

Symbolism and Meaning of “A Poison Tree”

William Blake’s “A Poison Tree” basically uses two symbols (an apple and a tree) to relate its meaning. The tree represents the growing anger in the speaker’s heart against his enemy and the apple represents the “fruit” of that anger, an action, in the poem, murder. Blake uses the poem to teach the reader that, just as Christ teaches, we should forgive our friends as well as our enemies and that we should not hold grudges. Read more...

Analysation of Chapter Six in Cannibals All!

Nota Bene: This essay was written my second semester of university. In this time I wasn’t a Christian and hadn’t been exposed to many different ideas and cultures. 2018 Michael would have written a very different essay. That being said, 2003 Michael is still worth studying. 2003 Michaels still exist in the South. I am proof they are willing and able to enter into discourse and change their minds if we give them the chance. Read more...

Vanitas, Memento Mori, und Carpe Diem

Die lateinischen Phrasen Vanitas, Memento Mori, und Carpe Diem sind sehr wichtig, besonders wenn Mann über die Zeit während und nach der Pest studiert. Diese Phrasen sind wichtig weil sie viel über die Ausblick und die Grundstimmung der Zeit sagen. Während und nach der Pest haben viele Menschen über Tod gedacht. Das ist weil Tod so prominent war weil so viele Menschen Krank mit der Pest waren. Die Pest war überall, dafür Tod stand immer gleich vor der Tür. Read more...

"Dover Beach": Understanding Meaning Through Symbols and Ideas

The modern existence of man is one of great complexity. Things seem as if they are one thing, but in reality are something quite different. The modern world is always changing and constantly moving. The world’s constant advancement of knowledge is attended by the loss of human feeling; the loss of love (Rosenblatt 80). In the summer of 1851 when Arnold wrote “Dover Beach” he saw and felt all of these things (Holland 6). Read more...

Martin Luther und die deutsche Sprache

Martin Luther war für die deutsche Sprache sehr wichtig. Er hat neue Wörter gemacht, die Grammatik genormt, und eine neue Leserschaft die Bibel gegeben. Weil diese Dinge so wichtig sind, ist (in meiner Meinung) Martin Luther die wichtigste Person der deutschen Sprache. Bevor Martin Luthers Bibel waren nicht so viele Dinge auf Deutsch geschrieben. Der größte Teil von der Texte waren auf Lateinisch geschrieben. Deswegen fehlte Deutsch viele Wörter; besonders in Religion, Recht, Medizin, Mathematik, und Bildung. Read more...

Das Elend der Frauen im Mittelalter

Das Elend der Frauen im Mittelalter war sehr schwierig. Doch, das Elend der Frauen war wirklich schwierig bis die 19 Jahrhunderts, aber besonders so im Mittelalter. Warum war es so schwierig? Weil die Frauen keine Rechts, keine Stimme, und keine Leiterin gehabt haben. Im Mittelalter haben Frauen keine oder wenige Rechts gehabt. Eine Frau konnte kein Land und/oder kein Eigentum haben (zum Beispiel; Häuser, Wagens, Pferden, und so weiter). Für die Ehefrau war es nicht so schlecht. Read more...

Laura Wingfield's Relationships in The Glass Menagerie

Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie is “a very realistic human story” that many people across the world can easily relate to (Mazer). In many plays the story is made or broken by the relationships between the characters; The Glass Menagerie is no different in this respect. Though many different and well-developed relationships exist in The Glass Menagerie one person’s relationships shine above the rest. Laura Wingfield, “so paralyzed with terror” of the real world all around her, is the centre of William’s The Glass Menagerie (Mazer). Read more...

Hyper-Political Correctness in "There was Once"

Politically correct according to the American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition can be defined as “1. Of, relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.” Sounds good, right? What could possibly be wrong with redressing “historical injustices” and “supporting broad social” change, presumably for the better? I would presume that most people, within reason, would not have a problem with political correctness if this were the true definition. Read more...
