Samuel and Kings all narrate the Jewish history and interaction with God in details. Therefore, we can claim that the Old Testament is somehow particular. Nevertheless, in the Old Testament, there is one book, the Book of Proverbs, which, as a wisdom literature, emphasizes on the universal reasoning.

The Last Gospel Last week we were able to witness a deeper and more expound explanation of the history related to Jesus. It was a video executed by BBC entitled “The Last Gospel”. It was a really long video but it had really interesting insights into it. It was explained in the documentary that there is more to the theological aspect of life in the history other than what we know and what had been taught to us. Ever since I was a child, teachers and parents would tell and advise us to read

screenplay and Ridley Scott’s use of film noir combine together to produce Roy Batty, a character out of Blade Runner, whose diverse personality reflects Jesus Christ, Adam, and Lucifer. As a result, Roy Batty, is much more multifaceted than the heartless, man killing machine that is seen at first glance by an audience. Because Roy reflects Jesus Christ, Adam, and Lucifer, three religious icons, there is an unlimited amount of religious subtext in the film Blade Runner. Hampton Fincher and David

that Jews and Christians worship the same God; however, they may be unaware that Muslims also worship that very same God. The Quran discusses Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, and other biblical figures; the Islamic scripture itself makes it abundantly clear that the God of Muhammad, and the God of Jesus, and the God of Israel are of the same God. Since the Muslim God is also the Judeo-Christian God, Allah is in fact identical with and not different from the Hebrew God of Abraham, Isaac

exactly what Prophecy is and how it is viewed. When we look at the very first chapter Sandy goes over “What Makes Prophecy Powerful”, he states, and “prophecy is like whitewater, perhaps the most powerful whitewater in Scripture-maybe in all the literature in the world. This is language unmatched in what it beholds and in how it describes the beholden. Words of worship, terror and mercy are unparalleled. Words of beauty, passion and hope are unequalled; words of adoration, condemnation and salvation
