Jesus In This Is Our World Analysis

Overall, this is a less optimistic painting that does not reference to the actual bombing of Guernica (Brunner, 2001). Rather it presents a visceral depiction of terror, chaos, and grief. Sandberg (1960) quoted that Guernica is a “pathetic symbol of the recent past and a warning for the

Art has multiple purposes. Some people enjoy art for the emotional engagement they receive while viewing it. Happy or pretty things give us hope; sad things make us feel less alone in our sadness. Other people see art as a way to balance who they are as a human. Where some people see propaganda others see a reminder of what is truly important in life (Schooloflifechannel). No matter what the reason, art is a vital part of the community not easily forgotten. One thing, however, is constantly on the mind of viewers, and that is the question of what each work of art means beyond the superficial, to the language only truly understood by the human soul. Art communicates, not by audible words, but instead by symbols and metaphors that can be so

In Chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis says that if we do not really know what the gospel is then we will find ourselves having to explain Christianity. Instead of reaching out to people and showing Jesus, we put all our time and effort into defending our religion. It is like we are on teams and we try to get the most people on our side so we have the biggest team. Medearis put it like this, “In a way, we’re drawing a line in the sand and telling people, “You’re on that side, and you need to believe what I’m telling you in order to cross the line. Once you cross it, you’re saved.” (p.45).This is the kind of mentality of salvation that was also referenced in the introduction to the book. Christians tend to treat salvation like a check

Please review all your responses above and write a three-paragraph summation of the Christian worldview. In your brief summation, explain why it is important to know the story of the Bible and the common thread throughout the flags in the "Story of the Bible." Finally, how does your interpretation of life compare with the Christian Worldview reflected in the biblical story?

For centuries, people’s aesthetic value has been influenced by Rome's perfectionism, so do I. I used to think that artworks that make people feel appreciated are just equivalent to visual appreciation and satisfaction. However, after observing the painting and researching sources of this pieces of art I realized that an excellent artwork needs to cover all aspect requirements. For instance, an excellent artwork needs to contain a high operation of art skills as well as art knowledge in order to persuade audience. In addition, to qualify as a great artwork it has to create a substantial amount of activity in the audience’s mind or heart. When I look at an artwork I always try to figure out what is the artwork's message or what the artist is trying to communicate, to convey. Overall, I think a good artwork needs include some of the elements and principles of the language of art as well as the structure they give to be able to successfully communicate an idea.

In the 2nd chapter of Jesus and the Disinherited, the focus or point of views is on Fear. The

“Who do people say that I am?” (Mark 8:27) is one of the most fundamental questions that Jesus asked his disciples. It is a question, from my personal viewpoint, that has a simple answer. Jesus is Lord! Needless to say, there is more to the identity of Jesus, but it is my belief that Jesus is the Messiah, the second person of the Holy Trinity. He is the promised Savior foretold in the Old Testament by the prophets. There is an endless list that gives Jesus titles such as Ruler and King, Master and Teacher, Savior and Christ, but in Acts 2:36 Luke writes, “God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Jesus is the one who went to the Cross to bring humankind forgiveness, redemption, and salvation.

     In 1937, Pablo Picasso painted Guernica, oil on canvas. The Republican Spanish government commissioned the mural for the 1937 World Fair in Paris. Guernica is a large mural, twenty-six feet wide and eleven feet tall, and was placed at the entrance to Spain’s pavilion. Picasso did not do any work after receiving the commission until reading of the bombing of the Basque village of Guernica, in Spain. It was that attack, perpetrated by the German Luftwaffe, that inspired him. Guernica, however, is not a complete depiction of that event. In Guernica, Picasso masterfully conveys the suffering of the Basque people and the tragedy of war. He seeks not to report on every detail of the bombing, but only to

“Guernica” is one of the most well-known paintings in the world. It was painted by Pablo Picasso in 1937. The painting itself measures 11ftx 26.5ft. “Guernica” depicts the bombing of the Spanish town of Guernica during the Spanish civil war. The whole thing is done in a cubist style not surprising since Picasso is known for his cubism. In the painting there are people and animals alike all of them in pain and or suffering. “Guernica” is also filled with symbolism that Picasso incorporated into it, and hidden messages. The painting is also colorless it only uses black, white and, gray.

“Fear is one of the persistent hounds of hell that dog the footsteps of the poor, the

In this chapter Howard Thurman talks about dealing with the teaching and the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Mr. Thurman talks about how he was a minister of color and how hard it could get sometimes. One thing that really got my attention is the point that he was making about how sometimes your back is against the wall. I think God put Jesus in a perfect place for his birth so he could help the people who did not have anything the ones who need help with their health and other things.

In January 1937, Pablo Picasso accepted the commission for a 25 foot long mural for the Spanish pavilion at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne (Borja-Villel et al., 2010). This exposition was a creation of the Spanish Government in exile, at the time of the Civil War. Therefore it was imbued with political and diplomatic meanings and served as propaganda for the Republican Government (Borja-Villel et al., 2010). The subject matter of the painting is the attack on the Basque town of Guernica by German planes (Borja-Villel et al., 2010). However, this event per se is not what is highlighted in the painting. Picasso used this scene to demonstrate his personal rejection of war and, taking this further, to demonstrate to the world the costly struggle by the Spanish people in search for freedom (Borja-Villel et al., 2010; Corbin, 1999). As a result, Guernica became to be a worldwide icon for political protest (Kopper, 2014). The

An angel appeared before a woman named Mary and stated to her that she would give birth to a son. She would name her son Jesus. Mary being a virgin gave birth to a child, conceived by God through his Spirit. Jesus being conceived in a supernatural manner became man and God in one creation. God became incarnate in this child who became known by the name of Jesus (Mathew 1:18-25) . Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, born in a town south of Jerusalem, raised in Nazareth in a small village in Galilee. Jesus was not any ordinary child. Jesus was the son of the living God. Not only was He the son of Mary, He was foremost the Son of God. He was incarnated sent to us for the redemption of all mankind. So how do we handle the incarnation of God?

Jurgen Moltmann a prophet of the eschatological, he taught on the hope of a new beginning based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was captured in the mid -forties as a prisoner. This result changed his faith in a more of a hope to seek God in a more perspective way. Wolf Pannenberg started his theology life at an early age, at seventeen he sought more about on his faith, thus, he ran across a book of Friedrich Nietzsche’s an atheist. He soon found himself being transformed in his faith, by a supernatural light from above, this has giving him a different perspective of hope and faith. These two men of faith had changed, from the neo-orthodoxy rule of supreme where they were non-evangelical Protestantism, in the 20s until the 60s. In this paper I will discuss the contrasting and comparing and more of their hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Oxford dictionary defines the word art as “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power”. This definition of art, however, has witnessed various developments over time. To examine the first part of the definition, today art has expounded its boundaries and does not stand limited to paintings and sculptures. The word art has found an extension into literature, dramatics, photography and performing arts. The appreciation of art for its beauty and emotional power has persisted over time. However, paralleled to the same has persisted the debate over the purpose of art-‘art for
