Journalist Nikole Jones, in her podcast “The Problem We All Live With”, and H.G Bissinger, in his book, Friday Night Lights, address racial tensions between black and white people. The rhetors make logical arguments using numbers and examples to persuade their prospective audiences about the inequality in the opportunities available to black and white high schoolers, and that black people are unfairly stereotyped by white people.

The book posits that it is possible that the book of 1 John be a response to the First Century heresy of Gnosticism, which is defined by our text as “[taking] a dualistic view of the cosmos, typically insisting that only the spirit was pure and good and that the physical world, the creation of an inferior god, was inherently corrupt. Imprisoned in physical bodies, humans could escape the world of decaying matter only through precious knowledge” (Harris, 2012: 422). As a branch of Gnosticism, members of the Johannine church took the notion of Docetism as truth, which “held that Jesus did not suffer physically and dies, but simply returned to heaven, his spiritual home” (Harris, 2012: 423).
