    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

  • Tyndale Love Over Charity Analysis

    272 Words  | 2 Pages

    In William Tyndale’s translation of 1 Corinthians 13, he favored the term “love” over the term “charity,” starting with the sentence “And though I bestowed all my goods to feed the poor… and yet had no love, it profiteth me nothing” (Greenblatt 389). This was a controversial choice on Tyndale’s part for various reasons. “Charity” was a Catholic term used in the Douay-Rheims version and the King James version of the Bible, and was thought to be a gesture “toward the religious doctrine of ‘works,’ against the Protestant insistence on salvation by faith alone” (Greenblatt 388). Professor Morna Hooker from the University of Cambridge does an analysis of Tyndale’s choice of “love” over “charity” in her lecture “Tyndale as Translator.”

    City-states are cities that are their own states. They were divided up by the high plateaus which separated the different city-states.

It was very hard to cross these mountains and nobody usually ever tried crossing the mountains because they were very hard to get over and it would take a long time. Even though Greeks were separated into these different city-states, Greeks still had many things in

  • Definition Of Piety In Plato's Euthyphro

    To me, this makes sense but there is still can be differences of opinion, what all gods despise is unholy, which would then make what the gods love be holy to them. The third definition differs from the second because problems in the second are that not all the gods are going to agree with what is dear to them and then in the third, you will be unable to know what all the gods love or what they hate. No this definition does not improve on the second because you are then still running into the same problem that you are unable to speak for the gods and decide what is either dear to them or what they can all agree is love. Although the third definition somewhat improves onto the second, it is still inadequate. This definition that Euthyphro gives still cannot be used in a argument because of the speculation or opinions that could all be formed.

Love is a power older than the gods and as mighty as the natural laws which govern our universe.

Creon is attempting to fight love, to fight Antigone and her overwhelming need to bury her brother. Love existed long before Creon was born, before the city of Thebes was even built, and it will exist long after Creon dies and Thebes
