“The Last Supper,” by Leonardo da Vinci, is a mural painting created during the Italian High Renaissance movement in the Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery. Leonardo da Vinci is a world renowned artist who is also known for his other painting the “Mona Lisa”. Additionally, he was a prolific inventor that created things that were well before his time; such as, blue prints for a helicopter and parachute. “The Last Supper” is one of the most famous works of Christian art and it displays the moment Jesus

The Cold War was a period of several decades of tension and the threat of nuclear conflict between the two remaining superpowers that emerged from WWII, the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The 1964 film Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, directed by Stanley Kubrick, depicts the overlying themes of the Cold War in a comedic fashion. This film’s full embodiment of the Cold War is seen through its representation of the time period, and the sheer competitiveness between

Research problem Utilitarianism is a moral theory that evaluates the rightness or wrongness of an action depending on its consequences. The criteria for this evaluation is how the action impacts the well-being of those involved. To put it simply, utilitarianism is concerned with whether the action brings the best outcome for those affected by it (Visak, 2013: 19). Whilst utilitarianism allows for different conceptions of well-being, depending on which value theory is used to measure it (giving place

Can Utilitarianism be defended against the Injustice Objection?   In this essay, I will argue that utilitarianism cannot be defended against the injustice objection. Utilitarians may be able to reply to the injustice objection in some cases by invoking one of two replies, the ‘Long term consequences’ reply, in which utilitarians will avoid unjust actions that increase short-term utility because in the long-term they will not lead to the greatest good. The other reply that may help utilitarianism

The Following of Jesus Christ Discipleship is the study of theology, having a religion, and being a follower of Christ. Dietrich Bonhoeffer had many themes and studies pertaining to discipleship. Throughout his book Bonhoeffer shared his views and the way he sees discipleship.

By learning discipleship through Bonhoeffer

available it said that Phillip and Nathanael were friends. This friendship was fortified while on their Voyages with the Jesus Christ. Let it be known that this relationship and or friendship is contrary to the actual brotherhood of James and John, Peter and Andrew. These two merely walked side by side as what the we would coin in todays terms, “Best friends forever.” Literally everything that we are able to hold tight to or state our claims as to his relevance come from the accounts of the Gospel

In The Letters of Abelard and Heloise, Abelard and Heloise’s faith and morals are justified solely by the Church and society. This discussion of virginity, sex, punishment, society, religion and ethnical views are all tied together into one autobiography written by Pierre Abelard himself. Pierre Abelard was born in 1079 B.C in France. Abelard was born into a minor noble family where he learned quickly and excelled in the art of dialect, a branch of physiology, which at the time consisted solely

them when ever they need you to. J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan is a children’s story about a boy who never wants to grow up and become an adult. Although the concept of having a mother is symbolized throughout Peter Pan, it is motherhood itself that prevents Peter Pan and others from maturing into responsible adulthood. Peter Pan wants a mother, but at the same time Peter does not trust mothers because he believes that his birth mother betrayed him. Peter also believes that mothers turn children into adults

Throughout the past century, it has been increasingly the case that authors and artisans utilize familiar stories and adapt them into a different medium. This practice of course, has been in place for many thousands of years, as we see the epic of Gilgamesh transcending its initial narrative to become more poetic, and weave itself into various mythologies, and Homers tales have long since made the rounds through all manner of works, whether narrative, paintings, plays or poetry. However, this practice

There are many aspects of Jesus’ life that are very noticeable throughout the New Testament and the four gospels through recurring themes. Mark’s Gospel contains the most prominent of those themes. The main themes that our class has focused on, that seem the most important to Mark are secrecy, response, and food/eating. In Mark 8:22-10:52, he has a very strategic way of setting up the stories of Jesus’ life. Thought the reading of this section we mainly notice two of the three themes, those being
