by a family of Christians and Christian ideas helped me be a better, more responsible person. As I was taught, our main objective as Christians is to spread the word and love of Jesus to non-Christians in the hope that they would see Jesus for who he has always been.

As the result, we have Christian faith that is not well anchored on local theology. And to most of the churches in the majority world, up until recently,

“There is no doubt that Shylock is a cunning and vengeful man, but nothing can justify the treatment he receives at the hands of the Christians.” How far do you agree with this statement? Does Shylock deserve his punishment? Shylock is punished by the Venetian court for seeking to end Antonio’s life.
