Gospel Of John
In the movie The Gospel of John the director gives the audience a clear description of what the Gospel of John is about and how the characters really act. Some of his decisions to me were spot on, however on occasion he would have his own views of how a character should act. One decision that I was in full support of was how he portrays Jesus as a kind, loving friend to all the citizens of Israel. The actor who play Jesus provides an effortless dictation of the word for word Gospel, and at the same time gives the audience an inspiring interpretation of how Jesus really acts. However at some points I was taken back with his harsh behavior towards the Pharisees, but as the movie progresses his emotions seem more accurate with his message of salvation.

    However accuracy of the subject speaking historically was moderate with some discrepancies. Actions of the characters in this film were portrayed properly like Pontius Pilate or Herod. Almost all of the characters were historically accurate. The themes in this film such as the crucifixion or the roman control would describe the time period that it happened. This film was bias towards the Christians and rarely took any approach to talk about the Jewish views. Gospels and the bible can be coincided with the film making it a reliable source. This film however did dramatize the actions and attitude of Jesus in my…

    Book of James

    I read the book of James and was astounded at how much I learned in such a short period of time. James encourages us to rejoice in Christ and to persevere. The main themes prevalent in this book which are wisdom, faith, trials, speech and wealth, all pertain to us today and we can use the information this book gives us to benefit from it. The book’s structure, purpose, characteristics, and history really helped teach me how to deal with the trails and temptations we as Christians face from day to day.…

    To conclude, the Gospel of John holds very important details about Jesus and how to live like Him that no other gospel does. Without the book of John a good grasp of Jesus would still be obtainable, however the question of “now what” would never be answered. The multi sides of Jesus would have been missed, not only was He God in the Flesh, but also a healer, friend, and most importantly the only way for us to have a relationship with God our father. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John…

    We see and hear his compassion for all people. We even hear one of the Bible’s most famous quotes as Jesus expires on the cross. “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.” Personally this leaves an impression on me as it shows those in charge of this film did their research and were also looking to leave a deeper mark than just a movie for the enjoyment of its…

    John's Gospel Humor

    below the surface of the text resonate with signals from below the surface of the text, allowing the gospel to say more than it otherwise might seem to be saying. Since the gospel’s humor constitutes a form of commentary that is by saying definition implicit, our task is to make some of the humorous explicit, and to consider how the humorous elements function and how they relate to the gospel’s message.” It is not very important about John’s gospel date because “one of the points urged by those who favor a late date is the contention that the manner of referring to the Jews points to a time when they had become enemies of the church.” Perhaps, “throughout this study I argue that John’s gospel with its rhetoric of distance is a text of imperial…

    The Gospel of John, written by an anonymous author in approximately 95 CE, is often attributed to John, the son of Zebedee, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus in the New Testament. According to scholars, several sources were used for this narrative, including a signs source, which recorded the signs that Jesus performed, a discourse source, which recorded Jesus’ speeches, and a Passion source, which recorded the crucifixion of Jesus (Ehrman 181). In addition to these sources, the author refers to an eyewitness, the Beloved Disciple, as “the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them,” causing scholars to question if the Beloved Disciple is John, the son of Zebedee, the author of the Gospel of John, both, or neither (John 21:24). Though many scholars have abandoned the idea of John, the son of Zebedee, as the author of the Gospel of John, they are still attempting to identify the unnamed “disciple whom Jesus loved” by studying the Gospel of John (John 21:20).

    St. John's Gospel Analysis

    • 1218 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The most helpful resource that I found whilst translating the first eighteen verses of St. John’s Gospel was also the most detrimental. At some moments, comparing my own translation to others could lead to a better understanding of the overall passage, but it could also become more muddled if the other translator and I had different ideas as to what the original text meant. There were, of course, other times where both the other translations and mine came to the same idea, but worded it differently, which is simply aesthetic. In its totality, St. John’s Gospel was a challenge to translate, through comparing, searching for vocabulary, and tying everything together in a way that didn’t sound like a child wrote it, I was given a deeper understanding…

    The Gospel of John, written by John the Apostle, is unlike from the other three Gospels and covers copious theological contented in respect to the being of Christ and the significance of faith. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are frequently mentioned to as the "Synoptic Gospels" for the objective that of their identical periods and comfortable, and meant at they suggestion a plan of the period of Christ. The Gospel of John twitches not thru Jesus' birth or worldly ministry but then through the action and features of the Son of God previously His becoming man (John 1:14). The Gospel of John highlights the divinity of Christ as is understood in his usage of such expressions as "the Word was God" (John 1:1), "the Savior of the World" (4:42), the "Son…

    Gospel of John

    The Case for Christ I found the information revealed to be quite informative and for me, largely new as I’ve never researched these areas directly. There is plenty of evidence presented on each topic and Strobel uses each interview to explore a number of angles from the skeptics perspective to ensure he looks for answers to the most common questions that relate to every interview topic. The experts range greatly but are primarily scholars and authors of various books with published content on each relevant topic. They have years of research and study on each area and are well suited to answer Strobel’s questions. Because the format of the book is written as a narrative description of these interviews with each expert. I found this part a bit of a stumble as it doesn’t carry much between each topic. There is some reference between the chapters and evidence presented that builds on previous findings but they are large separate individual chapters. This made the book a bit harder for me to really get since aside from the particle topic in each chapter there wasn’t any kind of story and building component to the book. This still worked very well and definitely makes a focus on purpose to address each of the questions, it just took more to keep me interested. I think some of that was due to the historical nature, as I have little to no interest in history and find it quite boring to read about so I got more than my share in one or two chapters. There isn’t too much of this historical componetn though so it didn’t hold me back from continuing through the book and exploring each of the questions with great interest.…

    We can analyze the similarities and divergences between the Gospel of John and the Synoptic Gospel of Mark with Christology, Anthropology, Soteriolgy, and Eschatology. Even though many of the passages could refer to more than just one theology, it is achievable to separate the different theologies into the four categories. Regardless of how different the Gospel of John is to that of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, it can be concluded that John does have obvious relations to the Gospel of Mark, even though it was written much earlier.…
