...Therefore, the local or Parish church stood as a fundamental part of the community. The clearly delineated layouts divided the church into two sections as can be seen from examples given of the floor plans of the church of Partrishow in the Brecon Beacons, St Helen’s church in the Norfolk broads and the parish church at Hailes. (dvd ) The main body of the church called the Nave, is where the congregation would have gathered. Here would be side alters and congregational seating, the pulpit and the font. The Chancel, considered the sacred space of the priests and cut off from the rest of the church by the rood screen, was an important aspect of the church as it divided the congregation from the priest performing the mass. Decorated with carved biblical scenes and symbols such as...

...Compare and Contrast Essay about Miracle of Christ Healing the Blind by EL Greco and Denial of St. Peter by Caravaggio. Miracle of Christ Healing the Blind by El Greco and Denial of St. Peter by Caravaggio are both oil paintings depicting biblical events from the New Testament. The expressive components of both compositions reflect two different artistic styles conveying profound religious and spiritual content. El Greco’s painting encompasses the hallmarks of High Renaissance masters such as solidly rendered figures, dazzling colors, deep spatial recession and Roman architecture. Caravaggio’s dramatic use of light and shadow and meticulous attention to poses and gestures of his subjects are emblematic of the naturalistic realism of the Baroque period. The elaborate architectural setting of El Greco’s canvas with its deep linear perspective is filled with groupings of figures in the foreground. The figures, although realistically depicted and covered with body conforming drapery, appear elongated. Their gestures, facial expressions and twisted postures create a sense of movement, commotion, and reverence evoked by the mystical event of healing the blindness. The group of people on the right directs the gaze of the viewer to the figure of the blind man being healed by Jesus, and then it goes to the man on the left, turned backwards, with his finger pointing up. Just as the act of healing the blindness carries a symbolic meaning of the revelation of faith his gesture might...

...Art Commission Statement #10/Ten Commandments Statue Upon examining the Judaic and Christian faiths one may find there are more differences than simulations between these two, but both base their beliefs on recognizing the existence of one God. This paper will reflect a discussion of the commissioning of a #10 statue, which represents the Ten Commandments, in which the team will place in the foyer of the new Christian and Jewish Interfaith Cultural and Historical Center. This commission proclamation will show how the sculpture characterizes past and current developments pertaining to ethnic patterns and world events in Christianity and Judaism. Team A will elaborate on why the statue is appropriate for placement in the Christian and Jewish Interfaith Cultural and Historical Center’s lobby. The commission proclamation will reflect the team’s belief in how the #10 statue displays the Jewish and Christian concept of man’s connection to nature, and one’s connection to the world and Yahweh. Team A will also examine the worth of commissioning the #10 statue for the foyer, how the figure is anticipated to improve the physical, intellectual, and environments as well, as how the #10 statue exemplifies various aspects of the new Cultural and Historical Center. Judaism and Christianity: World Developments and Cultural Patterns - Past and Present The #10 statue represents how agreement with and adherence to the Ten Commandments has been a prominent feature of both Christianity and...

...references I’ve come to the conclusion that sex is NOT intercourse but an expression of relationship. Brueggemann supports this noting that the Old Testament considers “sexual relations [as] the most intimate, treasured, costly, and demanding of all relationships.” (194) Sex is an expression of love, and love is the root of any relationship. When sex becomes removed from love, a relationship becomes diminished. My exploration into sex has resulted in me seeking an understanding of right relationship, knowing how sex fits into it. Our being image-bearers of God was a striking feature as I started my research and what it implies for our “sexuality”. In the Dictionary of Biblical Imagery, the topic of sex opens with a comparison of the Creation narrative with the stories of Near Eastern Literature. Near Eastern Lit would explain the creation of the gods and that from their procreation the birth of humanity and the world came forth. It is simply that humans and all that they are is a result of the gods, or products of them. So it could be implied that “sexual activity of...

...British Lit / Test Two Review Essay Questions 1. The genre of “The Fairie Queen” is a romantic epic. Epic poetry is the highest form of poetry; long and episodic. It is a narrative that contains many adventures, a central character, journey to hell, gods and goddesses, and it starts in the middle (in medias res). The Fairie Queen is allegorical of the Protestant Reformation. It contains many biblical allusions supporting the Protestant faith and criticizing Catholicism. It is written in Spenserian stanza, stanzas of nine iambic lines; the first eight are pentameters and the ninth is hexameter with the rhyme scheme ababbcbcc. 2. The term Renaissance translates into “rebirth”. This was a great revival of art, literature, and learning in Europe; marking the transition from the medieval to the modern world. The Renaissance began in Europe around 1390; this was around the same time of the Canterbury Tales. The Renaissance did not begin in England until1485. It was so late coming to England because of the civil war due to the “power struggle” between the House of York and the House of Lancaster. This Civil War was called the War of the Roses. The two houses fought until they killed each other off and in 1485, King Henry took crown and this was the beginning of the Tudor Dynasty. England finally had a level of peace allowing its people to acknowledge and then take part in this renewal of life, vigor, and interest. 3. The difference in doctrine between Protestantism...

...statements of Jesus.[1] These are important statements by Jesus and provide some of the most significant insight into what Jesus’ ministry was all about and why He was sent here on earth. These statements gave special insight as to who Christ claimed to be.[2] These statements were of such importance and could be understood by the Jews that many times it led the Jewish leaders to be outraged and want to either arrest Him for blasphemy or even stone Him for blasphemy. These were significant statements in which Jesus is claiming Deity. However, there are seven “I Am” statements of Jesus that have a metaphor attached with it. Each metaphor once again gives insight to who Christ was claiming to be. Each of these statements were important for revealing Jesus and they are: I Am the bread of life (John 6:35), I Am the light of the world (8:12; 9:5), I Am the door (10:9), I Am the good shepherd (10:11), I Am the resurrection and the life (11:25). I Am the way, and the truth, and the life (14:6), and I Am the vine (15:5). Each of these statements can give believers assurance and hope in Jesus. These are truly amazing claims by Jesus which He fulfilled in every way. Before we can completely understand the importance of Jesus referring to Himself as “I Am,” we must first look at Exodus 3:14 when God referred to Himself as “I Am that I Am.” This is an important statement where the God of the fathers was now going to become the God of Israel.[3] Moses knew that when God would send him to the Israelites...

Tznius / relationships between men and woman. The way men and woman dress Bris What does “kosher” mean (what we’re allowed to eat and what not) Death / mourning (kaddish, tahara??) resurrection Being Jewish: Who is a Jew according to the Torah? The definition of a born Jew is someone whose MOTHER is Jewish. Even though the the Torah forbids a Jewish woman to marry a Gentile man, if she does, her children wills till be Jewish. The Torah also forbids a Jewish man to marry a Gentile woman, and if he does, his children by that woman will NOT be jewish. What Jews believe in: Judaism believes that the Creator is the Only Creator, and the Only Controller. The Creator is the true One and Only Power, the true Source. There is only One G-d. G-d is the Creator. We often use the Name "Hashem," when referring to the Creator. The Creator cannot die. The Creator cannot suffer, and the Creator cannot bleed. The Creator is not a man, and no human can be G-d. The Creator cannot be hanged on a cross to die, or flogged like a criminal. The Torah also teaches that the Creator does not change The Creator does not have a mediator, nor does the Creator need a mediator. Furthermore, humanity does not need a mediator to have a relationship with the Creator. Therefore, Jews pray only to the Creator. It is not proper...

...One Nation Under God The United States of America is a country founded on religious principles and freedoms. Protestants escaping religious persecution in England came to the new world and planted the seeds of what would grow into a world superpower. The Native Americans, whose ancestors had been the first men to live there, became nothing but second class citizens. They were forced into slavery whilst dying by the thousands from disease brought by the white man. The pilgrims’ quest for religious freedom had brought ruin to an entire culture. Though it was the greatest, this genocide was not the last injustice done by religious organization in the new world. The framers of the United States constitution granted the right to freedom of religion among others. But all rights are limited; they cannot be exercised if they infringe upon another’s rights. Furthermore, despite claims of separation of church and state Christianity continues to take precedent over the rights and liberties of many citizens. Today one of the chief injustices regarding religion in America is tax exemptions for religious organizations. Proponents of tax exemption for religious organizations claim that there is no breach of separation of church and state. This claim is made on the grounds that by not taxing religious organizations they are not affiliating with them; therefore separation of church and state is attained. This logic is flawed to an unbelievable extent. The government electing not to tax religious...

...A Report: The Letter of Paul to the Romans I-BLM Submitted by: Reina Carla C. Luciano Anjelli Mika S. Masa Julian Gerolaga Lorenzo B. Garcia Josiah Nathan Gonzales Renzo Oliver Lubuguin I. Introduction According to a website, bible.org, Paul’s letter to the Romans is probably the most systematic presentation of the gospel in all of his writings, and indeed in all of the New Testament. The letter can be broken down into two major sections, namely, doctrine (1:18-11:36) and then application (12:1-15:13). Romans was written on a specific occasion and is an act of communication between two parties: the apostle Paul and the Roman Christians. To aid our reading of Romans we need to learn more about both parties. The Author: Paul the Apostle Paul did not found the Roman church, nor has he ever visited there. He has gotten to know some of the Roman Christians during his travels (16:3-15), but many of them he has never met. This may explain why he spends a little more time than usual introducing himself and explaining why he writes to a church that some would claim he has no authority over. Paul considered himself a slave (dou`lo") of Christ Jesus. Paul’s desire in this context is not to simply place himself among venerated Old Testament saints, or express his gratitude to be a servant of Christ Jesus (though both are true), but rather to communicate in plain terms his commitment and devotion to the Messiah Jesus. Though there are several reasons for his allegiance to Christ...

...Hebrew Literature From Classic Encyclopedia 1911 HEBREW LITERATURE. Properly speaking, "Hebrew Literature" denotes all works written in the Hebrew language. In catalogues and bibliographies, however, the expression is now generally used, conveniently if incorrectly, as synonymous with Jewish literature, including all works written by Jews in Hebrew characters, whether the language be Aramaic, Arabic or even some vernacular not related to Hebrew. The literature begins with, as it is almost entirely based upon, the Old Testament. There were no doubt in the earliest times popular songs orally transmitted and perhaps books - of annals and laws, but except in so far as remnants meat- of them are embedded in the biblical books, they have Scrip- entirely disappeared. Thus the Book of the Wars of the Lord is mentioned in Num. xxi. 14; the Book of Jashar in Josh. x. 13, 2. Sam. i. 18; the Song of the Well is quoted in Num. xxi. 17, 18, and the song of Sihon and Moab, ib. 27-30; of Lamech, Gen. iv. 23, 24; of Moses, Exod. xv. As in other literatures, these popular elements form the foundation on which greater works are gradually built, and it is one function of literary criticism to show the way in which the component parts were welded into a uniform whole. The traditional view that Moses was the author of the Pentateuch in its present form, would make this the earliest monument of Hebrew literature. Modern inquiry, however, has arrived at other conclusions (see Bible, Old Testament)...

CREATION IN 2ND VERSION - There was a garden in Eden and he put the man whom he had formed. - The was a tree of knowledge of good and evil ● So we understand that in 2nd Version, there is Good an Evil. - The second creation story says that a man was created first, before any other animal, whereas scientists tell us that many animals existed before humans, who are of relatively recent origin. This version also says that every plant of the field was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew, fort he Lord God had nat caused it to rain upon the earth. In other words, in this account, plants needed neither creation nor evolution – they merely need someone to make it rain, similarity between the Theory of Evolution and biblical creation stories is that they both seek to explain how we and all the other species around…. -...
