Analysis In Stefan Collini’s opinion‚ "Dover Beach" is a difficult poem to analyze‚ and some of its passages and metaphors have become so well known that they are hard to see with "fresh eyes".[3] Arnold begins with a naturalistic and detailed nightscape of the beach at Dover in which auditory imagery plays a significant role ("Listen! you hear the grating roar").[4] The beach‚ however‚ is bare‚ with only a hint of humanity in a light that "gleams and is gone".[5] Reflecting the traditional notion

The Four Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament know as Matthew‚ Mark‚ Luke and John. The term gospel comes from the Greek word euaggelion or “good news.” These four books are not just historical accounts‚ but announcement that Jesus Christ is the Messiah of Israel and the true king of the world.

Session 1 Reading Response Issue: “Canon” This week I read all six chapters that were assigned in our text‚ the lecture notes‚ as well as Matthew and Mark. Gundry (2012) writes‚ “The New Testament canon consists of books accepted by the early church as divinely inspired.” The idea of canon still confuses me a bit and especially because man decided what was divinely inspired and could be put into the Bible.
