The Deity of Christ in the Gospel of John The term deity is derived from the Latin word “deus” meaning God, therefore believing in the deity of Christ is to believe that Jesus Christ himself is God. The Gospel of John illustrates this truth not only by its precise use of signs that illustrate Jesus performing only what God is capable of performing but also by reiterating Jesus Christ’s use of “I Am” statements and self-proclamations within His teachings.

The passage of time is responsible for many paradigm shifts, and most apparent is the one affecting the perception of beauty. Today, beauty is not solely the exterior, but rather a nexus of internal characteristics. This is not a new concept, as William Shakespeare hints in his Sonnet 130. In the sonnet, Shakespeare uses contrast and volta to craft satire that ridicules society’s obsession with physical beauty, adequately demonstrating the necessity of disassociating feminine value with external

When I was reading “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles, the play effectively toyed with my emotions and gave me a new perspective on Greek cultures and plays. Before reading “Oedipus Rex,” I always thought the only job of the chorus was to sing their lines. I had no idea that the Greek chorus had three important roles during the play. They represented the common people, enhanced the mood, and advised the protagonist. After I realized that the Greek chorus was an important part in the telling of the play

Explorers from countries including Spain, France, and Great Britain gathered bands of men in order to voyage to the New World. Although various incentives overlapped between these nations, governmental sponsors for these great voyages had differing motivations for settling the New World and did so through different colonization efforts. In this era of

On 27 November 1095, Pope Urban II made perhaps the most influential speech of the Middle Ages, giving rise to the Crusades by calling all Christians in Europe to war against Muslims in order to reclaim the Holy Land, with a cry of "Deus volt!" or "God wills it!" This marked the beginning of the first crusade.

seen as manly, are quite apparent in an animalistic form of masculinity in the deer in “Guigemar,” in comparison to the female lover. The women in “Lanval” show a sense of manhood in their authority and power over the situations of the story. “Les Deus Amanz” tells a poignant story of two men, and how their over masculine traits of pride, jealousy, and possessiveness lead them to the exact places in which they were avoiding all along.

divisibility. The theological inapplicability of dualistic scheme relating to natural subsistence makes Gilbert speak about “essence” (essentia) referring to quo est and that’s the “divinity” (divinitas), and quod est designating the trinity (of one deus). Beyond the eventual theological and heretic questions, it is relevant to highlight that in Trinitarian doctrine the distinction of these two elements and the enumeration of the three persons are claimed to exclude any possibility of being not one

As a child, I was an avid reader, adopting the perspective of any character stronger, braver, more determined, more anything than myself: I was a pirate, I was a graveyard boy, I was one of James’ insect friends and fellow peach inhabitants. At the age of six, I got my first pair of glasses. These were supposed to bring a sense of clarity into my life which I’m still looking for. They also designated me for the role I would assume for my entire elementary education: the book nerd. Instead of playing
