BOOK: Revelation This is the final book of The Bible known as Revelations and John the apostle (Author) writes descriptive symbolic language by explaining what he heard and saw (Hindson & Towns, 2013). Written in AD 95 this book covers 3 literary genres: epistolary (letters), apocalyptic and prophetic. John mostly used apocalyptic writings encompassing the wide use of symbolism, visions and extreme events. Mostly referred to as “The Apocalypse”, meaning, “the unveiling” is identified by the prediction

In history, understanding the past is key to foreseeing the future and understanding the roots of the present world. As such, understanding the beginnings of the early church gives us insight into the success of the Catholic Church today and its 1.2 billion followers. The major transformation of Catholicism today can be traced to its early days, in particular, the early first century AD. After the Ascension of Jesus into heaven, the apostles brought themselves to embrace the mission Jesus gave them

This paper will show that women played a vitally important role in the development of the early Christian church. Women were the last disciples at the foot of the cross, and they were the first witnesses at the empty tomb. Due to a predominately patriarchal society, this may be one of the best-kept secrets in Christianity (Kroger). During the time of Jesus’ ministry, women were considered inferior to men in virtually every way. Society expected them to stay at home and to be good wives and mothers

The Life of Jesus Christ and Paul the Apostle The Survey of the New Testament course covered a vast amount of material. A person with no knowledge of the Bible could absorb a wealth of sacred information. Jesus Christ and Paul the Apostle covered a great amount of material in the New Testament. Throughout this paper, I discuss the life of Jesus Christ and the life of Paul the Apostle and their extraordinary missions they accomplished that led to faith in Christianity. The Life of Jesus Christ

The Bible exalts women more than any other book ever written by mankind, for instance, there are more than 188 women mentioned in both the Old Testament and the New Testament (Klyman, 2014). However, majority of them have their names concealed. Among the women mentioned in the New Testament basically include prominent prophetesses, queens and leaders. Different roles of women in the bible, particularly the New Testament, are clearly outlined. Through the eyes of the current ideologies, the roles

AD 55 and AD 58. Furthermore, Paul wrote this letter during his third missionary trip. Paul could not have written Romans before AD 54 simply because the Roman emperor expelled all of the Jews from Rome in AD 49. This is because Paul meets Priscilla and Aquila, Jewish people who had been expelled from Rome, but who have not been relocated in AD 54. Romans was certainly not the first letter written by Paul, though it is the first Epistle in the New Testament. The reason behind why the letter of Romans

Through Ephesians 2:14-22, Paul tells the Church that through the cross, Jesus has destroyed the barrier between Jews and Gentiles, making the two groups one. This letter from Paul does not only speak to the Jews and Gentiles of that time, but is applicable for all people today. The book of Ephesians is found in the New Testament of the Bible. The apostle Paul wrote the book of Ephesians while he was imprisoned in Rome around the time of A.D. 60. The purpose for Paul writing this letter was to inform

Paul’s Life and Ministry There is much to be learned from the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul. Far from ordinary, within the scope of God’s purpose was the selection of a man who would be chiefly responsible for carrying out the postresurrection commission of Jesus to the Twelve by proclaiming the fulfilment of the promise of Abraham (McRay, 2003). This man was Paul of Tarsus (Gal. 1:15-16), who’s story is one of redemption in Christ coupled with a testimony that no one is beyond the saving

tends to hold a very biased opinion in that they did not even state that women participated in church life. The New Testament does, however, give a precedent for the ordination of deaconesses (I Tim. 3:8-11, Rom. 16:1). The Bible states that Aquila and Priscilla, who served under Paul's administration, were deacon and deaconess. It also goes on to explain the importance of the role of women in the church and the fact that they were major contributors to the church community and in the way that the
