American culture is moving increasingly away from believing in Christianity. However, themes of Christianity has undoubtedly left a huge influence on even secular western culture- from politics to theater to film. Depictions of Christ-like figures and interpretations of Jesus Christ can be seen in a variety of media. One example of an analytic rendition of Jesus’ life is musical production Jesus Christ Superstar, which is a semi-gospel rock opera interpretation of the seven days prior to Jesus Christ’s

Lanyer’s Voice For Sexual Equality in “Eve’s Apology in Defense of Women” Women of the Renaissance lived the life of the underlying sex due to the period’s societal belief that men were of the dominant sex. For a woman to speak out against society norms and constraints was frowned upon and unheard of. Though Aemelia Lanyer lived in a time where women’s voices were absent and ignored, she was the first Englishwoman to publish a volume of original poems in the Renaissance period. Despite her society’s

At this point, Jesus was dead. Next to be proven is that the body of Jesus was buried and three days later the tomb was empty. A prominent member of the Sanhedrin, Joseph of Arimathea, requested that he be given the body of Jesus to bury. When Pilate granted his request, he took Jesus’ body down from the cross, wrapped it in burial clothes, and laid him in a new tomb. The Christians would not have

Crucifixion Crucifixion of Jesus Christ The Jewish high priests accused Jesus of blasphemy, arriving at the decision to put him to death. First they needed Rome to approve of their death sentence, so Jesus was taken to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor in Judea. Pilate found him innocent, and wasn’t able to find or even contrive a reason to condemn Jesus, but he feared the crowds and let them decide Jesus ' fate. The crowds declared, "Crucify him!" (Mark 15:13) As it was common in his time, Jesus

instead of sweat. I cannot imagine being in that state of anguish that I actually could sweat blood. (Bhagyashri) Back in the time of the Romans scourging or flogging was the most popular type of torture. After Christ was arrested he was taken to Pilate, this is where he was condemned and where the people cried out “Crucify Him!” I cannot even imaging going through this horrible event. Christ was stripped out of his clothing then some say he was tied to a pillar of some

For Jesus, Pontius Pilate asks the crowd he and Jesus were in front of, what they wanted to happen with him. “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.” (Luke 23:22). In a way Pilate seems to be defending Jesus like the defendant in Jefferson’s trial, trying to see what the jury wants to happen

Crucifixion is a type of execution or sentencing for those of the most serious crimes. It was a very common form of penalty throughout Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Groups such as the Indians, Scythians, Celts, Germani, Britanni, Taurians, Persians, Carthaginians, Phoenicians, Greeks, and mostly the Romans all commonly used crucifixion.

12 Years a Slave Freedom is an image of tranquility and the primitive essence of living life to one’s accord. Freedom is waking up in the morning and knowing that you are the narrator of your own life, not some overruling figure where you generate a fabricated savoir-faire to impress them, or merely survive another day. Alternatively, history vividly shows us about times when people wake to loud lashes, mothers crying for their children, and young women being raped. that was the reality of slaves

As I have been saying there are many who are fearful and have worry and anxiety because they are not certain if they are going to make it to heaven. There is much said about a believer losing their salvation and if we can lose our salvation then we certainly do have something to be fearful about. When we say that we can lose our salvation we are saying that God

mean for them to be religious, theological works? After all,the Gospels were written not as religious texts, but merely as narrative. The fact that they also tell accounts of proven historical figures such as the priest Caiaphas and Roman Pontius Pilate points towards some historical fact, but then there is the issue of the extent of historical reliability. Thus, some historians believe that the Gospels represent a later religious presentation of the historical events that happened. But there are
