Perseus is a misfit and has to continue on his own without anyone else similar to him “Perseus bid his mother good-by...He went over land and over sea.” (D'aulaires,117). Percy Jackson on the other hand, enters camp half blood and he journeys with Annabeth and Grover both demi-gods which makes him feel less of misfit the more he journeys.

...Book Review: Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling Summary McMinn (2011) in his book, Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling, highlights the importance of combining psychology, theology, and spirituality in to a Christian counseling session. McMinn(2011) guides the reader to a profound understanding of the pros and cons of incorporating : prayer, scripture, sin, confession, forgiveness, and redemption in the clients’ healing process. McMinn(2011) explains the psychology, theology and spiritual foundations of each stage of the clients’ healing step. McMinn (2011) encourages the Christian counselor to always pray for his/her client. However, McMinn (2011) advises to firs take into consideration the mental and spiritual state of the client when deciding to pray with him/her. If client is not being open and loving towards God McMinn (2011) warns the counselor to be very tactful and even abstain from praying with client. McMinn (2011) stresses the importance for the Christian counselor to keep in mind that even though Scripture is the Word of God, one should be humble and accept that human interpretation has been limited by sin. Hence, Christian counselors should spend time studying and meditating in the Scripture in their personal time. It is also imperative for Christian counselors to have a sound interpretation of the Bible in order to guide their clients. McMinn (2011) points out four approaches to handle tactfully the...

...Mr. Schiavello HRE4M1 April 2, 15 The Shawshank Redemption 1. How does the movie illustrate internal and eternal freedom? In the movie Shawshank redemption, freedom plays a very significant role in the lives of all the inmates; especially Andy Dufresne who is wrongfully convicted to two consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of his wife and her lover. The movie focuses on both the physical (external) and mental (internal) imprisonment of Andy in the maximum-security prison and his journey to overcome the barriers towards freedom make it a story that amazed everyone. When Andy is first locked up in his cell he is separated from society, he looses his physical freedom and is put in a confined space where his every move is watched. He is given a set of rules, which he must follow everyday for the rest of his life, he has to act with due restraint and if he doesn’t he is punished by the officers in charge. He makes efforts to volunteer to paint the rooftops of the prison and also fanaticizes about living by the sea once he gets out the prison. He wants freedom “from” the confinement he is in but his journey for freedom is not just physical he is always seen aspiring to be mentally free. The smallest of things make him the happiest person in the world such as watching his friends drink beer or the peace he gets when he plays music for the whole Shawshank to listen to, at those moments he achieves the spiritual and internal freedom he so desperately longs for....

...Tatiana Bartosic English 101 – 4006 Assignment Sheet Evaluation 15 November 2012 Redemption Within Walls There is something that needs to be said about slavery; no, not the physical manacles that were bounded around ankles and wrists but the imaginative ones given to us by those of higher authority – as William Blake once decried “mind-forged manacles.” Andy Dufresne’s character in Shawshank Redemption offers a brilliant message to any audience – old or young – about the power of resilience under imprisonment. There is more to life than what is inside the walls that surround you; in such, “imprisonment” was merely an imaginative force that is constructed by the mental realms. At least, that was Shawshank Redemption’s attempted conveyance; Dufresne’s character, conceptualized and manifested by the director Frank Darabont, both humanizes as well as critiques the imprisoned and the idea of imprisonment. Set in the 1940s, when Rita Hayworth, an over-the-top sex symbol in the American film industry, was alive and flourishing, Shawshank Redemption takes the ordinary lives of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding (Morgan Freemand), Warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton), the hotshot Tommy Williams (Gil Bellows), and Brooks Hatlen (James Whitmore), and coalesces them altogether to set the stage for one of the greatest stories ever set in the dusty grounds of Shawshank State Penitentiary in Maine. Everything from Andy’s imprisonment to his eventual escape was integral events...

...society, plagued by sins and selfish desires. As a human, one often feels the need for redemption and forgiveness, as well as guidance for their futures. Jesus provides these things, along with the ultimate redemption of living forever alongside Him in heaven, if a person commits their life to Him. This is proven repeatedly in the Bible. If the Book of Genesis did not exist, humanity would still have a need for a savior. The Book of Genesis begins with the creation and fall of man. Though God created a paradise for Adam and Eve, the first humans, the couple disobey God’s only rule by eating fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Because of their disobedience, “the Lord God banished [them] from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which [they] had been taken (Genesis, 3:23). This event begins the constant cycle of sin that is visible throughout the rest of the Bible. If humanity did not have a savior, they would be caught in this cycle and doomed to eternal damnation forever. In 2 Peter, Peter writes, “. . . The Lord...

...and this was reflected within Skrzynecki's poems, "Crossing the Red Sea" and "A Drive in the Country." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step..." The importance of the journeying process, and the positive and negative outcomes of the journey, is not so much about the destination to which the travellers are headed, but the various occurrences that affect the traveller along the way. The importance of the journeying process was explored and exposed by Peter Skrzynecki and a variety of other composers. Skrzynecki, using the powerful textual vehicle of poetry explores the importance of the journeying process and its various outcomes, a journey often results in the confused and mixed emotions of the traveller and this was reflected within Skrzynecki's poems, "Crossing the Red Sea" and "A Drive in the Country." A person is always emotionally involved in the journeying process, highlighting its' importance, this is shown in Julius Caesar's public memoirs "De Bello Gallico", the political cartoon "Freedom"" (Sun-Herald, April '03) and text five from the Board of Studies Stimulus booklet, "Journeys over Land and Sea." Skrzynecki uses poetic techniques to explore the range of conflicting emotions associated with the journeying process, enabling a responder to identify with its importance. "Crossing the Red Sea" is the first poem in the anthology "Immigrant Chronicle" and...

...the author of Genesis is never actually named, it is believed that Moses wrote the book of Genesis. In Acts 7:22 Luke recaps that Moses was trained in the “wisdom of the Egyptians” and was the only one who was prepared to integrate and understand the manuscripts and oral narratives in the Pentateuch. Only Moses was qualified enough to be given the task of writing Israel’s history. Genesis starts with our creation and spans “approximately 2400 years.” (bible.org) The book starts with God creating the heavens and the earth and ends with the Israelites arriving in Egypt and growing into a nation. This can be dated back to around 1800 B.C. The purpose and theme of the book is to reveal how the sin of man is met by the intervention and redemption of God and God’s choice of a nation through whom he would bless the nations. This is conveyed through several key people and events. The four greatest events in Genesis include the creation of the world and man, the fall of man when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, Noah’s ark and the Great Flood, and the confusion of tongues. There are several main personalities in Genesis but the four greatest men include Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Noah “The Bible describes Noah as the only righteous representative of humanity worthy to be saved from God’s judgment.” (godandscience.org) The Bible does not give us much insight to Noah’s early life other then he was the grandson of Methuselah the oldest person in the Bible, son of...

...find the way out for his pain through drugs. In "Sonny's Blues,” we can understand what happened, why it happened, and why char-acters acted the way they do. The story Sonny’s Blues by James Baldwin (1957) explores the theme of suffering experienced by Black Americans as individuals fettered by discrimination, unemployment, housing problems, drug ad-diction, imprisonment and suicide. It features the struggle of two brothers separated and caught in the entangle-ments of time, space and ideals. Harlem, the setting of "Sonny's Blues," is packed with barely-contained anger. The community is forced to live in an oppressive and painful world; as a result, many are left deeply angry. The narrator describes the neighborhood as a "boiling sea" (112) and comments that his students are "filled with rage" (104). He then speaks of the "hidden menace" that permeates Le-nox Avenue (112). Even the narrator's family has been impacted: the narrator's mother describes how the death of the narrator's uncle led his father to harbor a smoldering rage against white men. The anger and resentment of the community have built up to dangerous levels. Sonny...

...people of God in the desert, Jesus Christ emptied himself: laid aside his heavenly glory, position, riches, rights, the use of divine attributes and finally died cursed death on the cross. In turn God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father (Phil. 2:5-11). Conclusion Throughout Exodus, there is a foreshadowing of the redemption that is offered under the new covenant. The first pass over, the Red sea crossing, and the giving of the law at Mount Sinai are to the old covenant, what Jesus' death, Resurrection and the giving of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost are to the new covenant. Types in Exodus that foreshadow Christ and redemption in the new testament are 1) Moses, 2) the pass over, 3) the Red sea crossing, 4) Manna, 5) The rock and water, 6) the tabernacle,7) the high priest. ...

...L23903002 BIBL104 June 19, 2010 Summary of the books of the Old Testament Exodus The book of Exodus consists of the two different genres, narrative and law, and is considered to be known as one of the books in the “Book of the Law”. It was written to record the events of Israel’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt. The overarching theme for Exodus is about God fulfilling the promises he made to the patriarchs making their descendants a great nation. God carried out his promises despite much opposition, which includes the great nation of Egypt and the unbelief and disobedience of God’s people. The book of Exodus shows that the success of the exodus is rendered by the power and character of God, who remembers his promises, punishes sin, and forgives those who are repentant. It also highlights both the faithfulness of Moses, who follows exactly what God commanded, and his prayerfulness. Some other key themes and events include the promises of many offspring, land, blessings for Abraham’s descendants and the nations, Abraham as the covenant mediator, and the covenant presence of the Lord. Some of the key personalities include Moses, Miriam, Pharaoh, Pharaoh’s daughter, Aaron, and Joshua. In the first seven chapters of Exodus we are introduced to Moses and the bondage of the Israelites in Egypt. The setting is about 400 years after Joseph and his families were living in Goshen at the end of Genesis. God protects baby Moses from Pharaoh’s decree of killing Hebrew baby...

...Origin - Meaning - History - The Four Cups of Wine for Passover / Pesach The Four Cups of wine used in the Pesach / Passover Seder primarily symbolize the four distinct redemptions promised by G-d to the Hebrews as told in Shemot or Exodus 6:6-7. (1) "I will take you out of Egypt", (2) "I will deliver you from Egyptian slavery", (3) "I will redeem you with a demonstration of my power", and (4) "I will acquire you as a nation". Since each of these cups of wine symbolize an action that was performed by G-d, Jewish people fill a small cup or small wine glass with wine at four different points in the Passover Seder and drink each cup of wine. Drinking from The Four Cups also tells us that we can actively pursue these goals ourselves, meaning that we can actively free ourselves from whatever enslaves us. These are positive goals to salute by having a drink! There is a fifth cup of wine called "The Cup of Elijah" and it is reserved for Elijah the Prophet, who is believed to visit each Passover Seder that takes place around the world. In Shemot or Exodus 6:6-8, following the aforementioned Four Expressions of Redemption, there is a Fifth Expression of Redemption. A Fifth Cup of Wine symbolizes this expression of redemption for all humanity upon the arrival of Messianic Times and because this has not occurred yet, the Fifth Cup of Wine is not drunk. The origin of The Four Cups of Wine dates from rabbinical opinions contained in the Jerusalem Talmud (Pesachim 10:1). The Pesachim tractate...

...a work of fiction that is to be used as a metaphor to understand the will and workings of God. Nothing in the bible itself indicates that we should look at this or any other biblical passage as a fictional piece of work. Every word that is listed in this book should be taken literally as historical narrative events that took place. The book of Jonah is a literary epic of the ages with the main characters being God and Jonah. It deals with the themes of disobedience, redemption, and the supernatural. As a result of Jonah's disobedience to God, he had led himself into danger. He found himself on a ship and thrown overboard into the belly of a beast for Three whole days because he refused to preach God's word in Nineveh. The time he spent in the belly of the fish gave him the opportunity to reflect on his mission that The Lord sent him on. The book of Jonah also showed Gods mercy because he sent a prophet there to preach his word so that the 125,000 people that resided there may be able to have a chance of redemption from their sins. The purpose of this book is to show God’s Grace and to also show that disobedience to The Lord leads us down the path of destruction. Person: Jonah Jonah is what we call a minor prophet in the bible. Jonah was a prophet from a region of Israel known as Gathepher which was not too far from Jesus's town of Nazareth. The Lord commanded Jonah to go to Nineveh and declare its wickedness but instead of doing that, Jonah fled in the opposite direction...

...Emil Fackenheim No philosopher or theologian has written as extensively or as feelingly about the Holocaust as has Emil Fackenheim. Having experienced life in a camp, Fackenheim, seemingly out of a sense of compulsion, has tried to grapple with the overwhelming events of the death camps in order to draw some meaning from them for post-Holocaust Jewry. In a series of essays, and especially and most clearly in his God's Presence in History (1970), Fackenheim has tried to find a way to avoid both the absolute faith of the pious who do not see any special problem in the Holocaust and those like Rubenstein who argue that the only reasonable conclusion to be drawn from Auschwitz is the "Death of God" and the ultimate absurdity of history.22 If the former alternative blasphemes against Hitler's victims, the latter blasphemes against the God of the victims. Both victims and God have to be held together in dialectical tension after Auschwitz; neither can be devalued without resulting distortion and loss of truth. To keep God and Israel together is the demand of Jewish theology; it is still an imperative after the Holocaust; the problem is how it is to be effected. If Rubenstein's solution of Jewish communal existence without the God of historic Judaism is no answer, what then is the answer? Fackenheim's reply is both subtle and difficult. He is adamant in his refusal to allow any theological explanation of the Holocaust. In no sense, he argues, can any particular theodicy be propounded...
