That are two kinds of people that exist when perceiving art; ones that view art and wonder what it is that the piece is trying to say and are then moved by the piece once they see what idea the piece is portraying, and the other kinds of people are ones that see art as asinine and simply walk past it without taking a second glance at it. After viewing a painting of Jesus, Dorothy

THE SPIRITUAL INFLUENCE OF ANGELOLOGY AND DEMONOLOGY My knowledge regarding Angelology and Demonology has increased with this class. I have a healthy understanding of how the various mythologies of different cultures and societies through these many thousands of years have effected our interpretation of both angels and demons. All of the various readings throughout this course have built layer upon layer as to the diverse ideas concerning angels and demons. My personal presuppositions clearly

“Satan as archangel, before his fall, is never shown by Milton, but this stage of existence is often alluded to, as is the fact that some of his archangelic powers remain”(Carey pg.162). Satan is a character within Milton’s “Paradise Lost” who exemplifies a being on a journey to achieve goodness for himself by getting back at the being who put him into eternal damnation. Satan is forced by his own mind to rebel against God for what he has done to him by ‘making him fall from the eternal kingdom’

James Joyce emerged as a radical new narrative writer in modern times. Joyce conveyed this new writing style through his stylistic devices such as the stream of consciousness, and a complex set of mythic parallels and literary parodies.

Joyce’s influence behind writing the short story was all around him. The growing nationalist Irish movement around Dublin, Ireland greatly

In the two works of literature, Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe and Paradise Lost by John Milton, they both present the theme of the fall in regards to the main characters. In Dr. Faustus, Faustus ' fall is due to his inability to be satisfied with his occupation, so therefore he gives in to the Devil in order to do magic instead.

“I don’t know,” I whispered, faltering back even more, hitting the wall, as if I could just escape, crumble into it. I just wanted to escape. “I don’t know, alright? It just happens. It always happens. What am I supposed to do Kane? What am I supposed to do?” “You need to do what everyone has told you to do.” Kane said, simply. Kill the guy. I need to kill the guy. The people, the spirits, they all snapped their attention towards me. Kill him, they hissed. Racing towards me, they all kept repeating

The word demon has gone through a series of changes to establish new meaning throughout history. Typically however demon has a similar meaning through its evolution. There are several meanings that all tie together. The definition of the word varies depending on when and where it comes from.

The action he presents, if it is to be worthy of his ‘great argument’ must answer in reasonable ways all the certainties which reasonable Christians have named or felt in the story of the first human crisis.
