The Cross Symbol of Love Most often when the Bible attempts to express God’s love‚ it makes a beeline for the cross of Jesus Christ. The cross is God’s statement of just how much He loves us.

This is why symbolism is a significant feature of a novel. An example of this is in the novel The Poisonwood Bible written by Barbara Kingslover. The story is set in 1959 and follows an obsessive Baptist minister named Nathan Price who drags his wife (Orleanna) and four daughters‚ (Adah‚ Rachel‚ Ruth-May and Leah) deep into the heart of the Congo on a mission to

Accepting that the Bible is the original constructor of gender and that the word “man” has been since the beginning of time a word to describe one with male genitalia‚ leads no one to question the story of our very creation. However‚ Christine Delphy noted that” the concept of sex roles was critically developed from the 1940s to the 1960s” (59) and that “the concept of gender derived directly from it” (60).

obedient to God. Satan tricked man into commenting a sin and that’s how man became disobedient to God. Once that sin was committed humans were born to sin. Christians know this story and believe that this is the cause of the fall of man. The Old Testament explains everything about the fall of man.
