Chapter 5 Of A Child's Story Of The Bible

Jesus and the Disinherited begins the first chapter with the interpretation of Jesus. Dr. Thurman explained that Jesus was a poor Jew and was a minority in the midst of a dominate society. Dr. Thurman gives his analysis on the worldviews Jesus. People around the world have their own interpretation of Jesus; yet, people have an orthodox view of him being fully God and fully man. In chapter one, the author references the nonviolent resistance approach, which is a tactic Dr. Martin Luther King Jr used in the civil rights movements. He interprets Jesus as a black man who lived his life as an outsider in the world. Jesus was the disinherited and oppressed like African Americans.

In Chapter 2 of Encountering the New Testament the author talks about a few of the different practices that unified the Jews as well the different religious groups that had different beliefs. Judaism was unified in the beliefs that they had been chosen by God, they were waiting for the messiah to come, they respect the synagogues, they shared the same laws and traditions of elder. Although these beliefs were unifying there were seperate religious groups and leaders that held different beliefs. Probably the most well known group of religious leaders were the Pharisees.

Obviously from the title of this book, this excerpt is intended for children; for that reason, the text is exceedingly easy to read and understand. In fact, the first thing I noticed about this particular excerpt is the simplistic sentence structure and elementary word choice. Since the intended audience is young children, the short sentences and uncomplicated words reflect that. The author, William Carus Wilson, knew that kids have a very little attention span, so he made each sentence brief and to the point. And his consideration of children’s limited vocabulary made him use simple words like good or bad to describe objects. Another thing I picked up on in my annotations, is that the author uses underlying rhetoric techniques to influence the way kids think. He attempts to convince audience justified racism through nationalism,

Author John N. Oswalt begins The Bible Among the Myths: Unique Revelation or Just Ancient Literature? with a concise and well-written introduction that whets the reader’s appetite, compelling one to continue reading. He begins by informing the reader that his novel has been in the works dating all of the way back to the 1960s, when he attended the Asbury Theological Seminary. Oswalt quickly points out that one of the main points that the book will focus on is determining if “the religion of the Old Testament [is] essentially similar to, or essentially different from, the religions of its neighbors.”1 Oswalt is swift to acknowledge a major difference between the Old Testament and the religions of the Israelites Near

These stigmas about what is considered appropriate careers for women to pursue and what boys should grow up doing start at early stages in life. For every time we tell the girls they should watch their younger cousins or baby nieces and nephews and we let the boys run around pretend fighting or building forts with Legos, we reinforce the identity that women should take care of others while the men play and watch football and design cars. It may seem like I’m oversimplifying the situation but that isn’t the case. There is no transition between childhood and adulthood like Kay Hymowitz claims in her essay “Child-Man in the Promised Land”. The idea of an extended adolescence is ridiculous and insulting to me and any male who has read it.

1. Chapters one through three of Genesis are very historic in the Bible. I know the whole Bible is historic, but the first chapters of Genesis are essential to Christianity. These chapters touch base on the six days of creation, the things that are on the Earth today, and how sin entered the world. In chapter one, God is the supreme creator of the Heavens and Earth. The Earth today is inhabited by the human race, but before creation is was surrounded in darkness. The first thing God did was create light and separate it from the darkness. God was developing the Earth day to day by adding creatures, plants, food, etc. Eventually in six days,the Earth was finished in the sight of God. Although, something was still missing from God's view. The

In William C Platchers essay he states that the bible is true, and if the bible is true than the meaning behind the teaching and stories are true as well. To fully understand the bible and how to apply it to our lives we need to understand its message. Not only the message one the base layer, to understand the message sometimes you need to dig a little deeper. This is something that all Christians are taught, it is one of the fundamentals of our religion. Once we understand the message behind what we read, then we have to trust it. If we trust God our Lord and savior. Then we are able to put that same amount of trust into the bible. He then discusses how different people have come to interpret this truth. William Placher elaborates on two

In chapter 6 of David and Goliath, the author Malcolm Gladwell illustrates underdogs can be powerful when face against with unfair rules because they can be fearless since they have no other choice, they will immorally break the rules with trickery.

“Children…Eat your bread. Little children…eat your bread” In the Bible, the “bread” is symbolic of truth. In John 6:35 there is a story of Jesus speaking to his people.

1. Using the book, notes, and biblical text itself, choose two of the Gospels and compare and contrast their presentation of the life of Christ. Be sure to include how things like the authors’ background and audience affect their message.

In the beginning of the novel, the man says, “If he is not the word of God never spoke.” The man declares that his son is the word of God or god never spoke. In the book of Genesis, it says that a God that does not speak is a God that does not create. Therefore, the man’s declaration that the boy is the word of god or the world is a godless one. Later on in the novel, the boy and the man meet an old man named Ely.
