Gerald Graff began his career as a teacher before becoming an author focused on critical theory. “Disliking Books at an Early Age” is one of his publications that focuses on the teaching of critical theory. Graff’s argument is that students should be introduced to theory early in academics because a pure reading experience is impossible. Every person brings their own experiences and questions to a text that influences it. Therefore, literary theory gives them a scholarly way to shape their readings and develop the level of “intellectualspeak” that colleges seem to require, which teaches them the skills needed to discuss literature and add to the scholarly conversation.
The word of God is the blueprint of our lives. There is nothing that concerns life that is not in the word of God.

This method looks at the biblical narrative not as a historical source that something lies behind the text. But, it looks at the narrative as a literary text that may be analysed in literary terms that is plot, characterization, point of view in narrative like other works of literature.

(John 10)Though many dispute the deity of Christ, it is the truth. God himself at Jesus baptism attested to Jesus as his only begotten son (Matthew 3:14, 15). IV) Justification Doctrine: The believer should learn and eternalize the message of redemption and justification.
Before any conclusions can be made regarding the message of the Four Gospels, it is important to consider whether they are historically accurate. Arguments swing between them being either accurate in their portrayal of historical events, or that very few of the events in them took place. Even the central figure of the gospels, Jesus Christ, receives a mixed response from scholars. Many scholars would agree that Christ is a historical figure.

Watson.) 3. How does the gospel truth affect our lives (1 John1:8-9)? • The first thing to know is that truth sets us free from the bondage of sin. If we say we have no sin we make our selves liars and the truth is not in Us.
The Bible presents all sides of truth, and all Scripture must be considered, for seldom does a single passage contain the entire teaching on a subject. Contradictions disappear as study continues. To illustrate, Paul states that salvation is by faith: But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (Rom. 4:5) While James says, “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” ( Jas.
Satan was an angel that wanted to out best god and rule heaven like it was his own and was always meant to be his for the taking.
