A study of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an adventure in understanding changes in America itself. The book, at the center of American geography and consciousness, asks readers to reexamine definitions of “civilization” and freedom, right and wrong, social responsibility and inhumanity. Published in 1885, the novel recounts those pre-civil war days when the controversy over slavery, with designated slave and Free states, disfigured the face of America and its view of itself as a land

months ago a former employee exposed Facebook 's suppression of stories that had conservative tones, or placed Donald Trump in a positive light, from their trending topics. CEO Mark Zuckerberg quickly denied any wrong doing, telling the world that an internal review showed “no evidence that this report is true.” Nonetheless, Mark Zuckerberg flew in supposed conservative leaders and after a glitzy tour, convinced these easily manipulated conservatives such as Glenn Beck that everything was now better

The Bible is about the story of a missionary, Jesus Christ, sent by the Father to the world. Before leaving the earth, Jesus commanded the disciples to be missionaries. He gave the Great Commission and commanded the disciples to be witnesses. Believers today are not only targets of the mission, but also proclaimers of the mission. In order to finish the task, Jesus gave us the handbook of the mission. In and through the Bible, God prepares the missionaries and the mission messages. There are many

This week’s reading takes a more in depth look at the current synoptic problem. Blomberg lightly discusses the main hypotheses (Oxford, Griesbach, and Q) by engaging in their strengths and weaknesses alike. He also discusses the possible synoptic sources, mainly “L”, “M”, and “Q”. He does briefly relay some more historical figures, early church fathers mostly, and their seemingly archaic views on synoptic priority compared to the scholastic achievements in more recent eras. McKnight gives a closer

Synoptists, this phrase is used only by Christ in a speaking of Himself; and elsewhere only in Acts 7: 56, where the name is applied to Him by Stephen. It occurs less frequently in John than in the Synoptists, being found in Matthew thirty times, in Mark thirteen, and in John twelve. Jesus’ use of the term here is explained in two ways. 1. That He borrows the title from the Old Testament to designate Himself either (a) as a Prophet, as in Ezekiel 2: 13; 3:1, etc.; or (b) as the Messiah, as prefigured

Teaching You Today? When we open the New Testament, we find four books called "gospels" - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. All four present compelling accounts of the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, the long-awaited Jewish Messiah (the Christ) and Son of God. Mark is the shortest of the gospels, with 16 chapters. Matthew has 28 chapters; Luke has 24 and John 21. The main reason Mark 's gospel is shorter than the others is because he devotes the least amount of space to the teachings

Some characters in history have been mischaracterized or mythologized, but none have been as misconstrued as Cleopatra VII, the last queen of Egypt. In Roller’s 2010 publication, Cleopatra: A Biography, he discusses many aspects of Cleopatra’s life, but most importantly her power. This novel is the first to be based solely on primary materials from the Greco-Roman period while Cleopatra was alive. These sources include literature, Egyptian documents, and representations in art and coinage. The author’s

Mark Zuckerberg once said, “When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place.” It looks really nice and pretty on the outside, but deep down at its core, giving power to people can be deadly. Zuckerberg had good intentions, but he’s got it wrong. Facebook has become a self-conscious universe where people care about the number of likes and shares that a post, image, or video receives. However, Facebook isn’t the only one. Instagram, Snapchat,
