Galatians 3:26-29 teaches an important message central to the Christian faith. It promotes a message of equality for all believers in Christ.

One of these aspects is the author. The book of Galatians is attributed to Paul, and includes many of the themes typical of Pauline literature. Galatians 1:1 identifies Paul as the writer of the book, and there are many verses which speak to Paul’s encounters with other Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION

The search for ancient artifacts, lost histories and the beauty and awe of the 7 Wonders of the World is something that many historians, journalists, educators and archaeologists cannot resist.

These often become associated with grand myths and legends, which increase their significance and value. However, these myths and legends can make it harder to distinguish between what is fiction and what is history (Wood Continue reading...

According to Smith (262), Catholic and Protestant Churches disagree on Filioque doctrine that asserts that the Holy Spirit sprouts from the Holy Father and the pious Son. Some theologians believe that the common tradition appears in 589 in Toledo. Other scholars such as A.E.

The tale of the Flood is an oft-repeated one in many old myths and religious stories – the story of God (or gods, in the case of Gilgamesh) wiping out all of humanity with a great flood in order to start again. While the most well-known example is in the Old Testament of the Bible, there are also flood accounts within the epic of Gilgamesh and the Islamic Qu’ran. While all three of these tales feature many similar attributes, their differences are sufficiently evident to reveal the distinct biases and values imported by these unique texts. While the polytheism Continue reading...

Abstract

The Blessed Virgin Mary of the Mother of Jesus is mentioned several times in the four gospels, with each gospel providing a different side of her life.

The bible is full of various literary devices most of which have been studied by scholars. One of the most common styles used in Genesis, the first book of the bible, is repetition. Repetition is the repeating of words by the author to create emphasis. Literary experts say that the intensive use of repetition in the book of Genesis makes up for the fact that the bible lacks the formal criteria common in most other literary works. Genesis is basically a narrative that gives account of various events that took place immediately after the creation of the world.

Instances of repetition in the genesis are numerous.
