The Rose Heresy

561 Words3 Pages

The 1986 drama-filled mystery film, “The Name of the Rose”, is directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. This film is not only a murder mystery, but film that puts into question the meaning of “truth” from theological, philosophical, scholarly, and historical perspectives. William of Baskerville, a Franciscan friar, and Adso of Melk, a young man about eighteen years old who is traveling at the side and under the protection of William, encounter a wealthy Benedictine abbey and begin on the path to aid in discovering what’s right and wrong. The abbey’s mission began due to the Pope John XXII suspecting a group of Franciscans of heresy; heresy is a belief or opinion not in alignment with orthodox religion. A neutral location for the theological disputation

  • Summary Of Religious Exclusivists Often Go Wrong By David Basinger

    608 Words  | 3 Pages

    In his essay “Religious diversity: Where exclusivists often go wrong”, David Basinger argues that religious exclusivists, even if they are not obligated to do so, should examine their basic, core beliefs; especially when such beliefs are a subject of discussion in peer conflicts. As a result of this view, he continues to state that exclusivists who fail to see the importance in such an examination “have in a sense gone wrong” (Basinger 43). This essay will summarize and provide counterpoints to the arguments presented by David Basinger in his essay “Religious diversity: Where exclusivists often go wrong. According to Basinger “an exclusivist is someone who believes that her perspective on a given issue is superior in the sense that she believes that her perspective alone is true or is at least closer to the truth than any other perspective” (43).

  • Danger Of Hypocrisy In Moliere's Tartuffe

    327 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Moliere wrote the play Tartuffe, he was clearly focused on religious themes. However it may seem, it is important to understand that Moliere’s work means to unmask the dangers of hypocrisy, not to ridicule religion itself. In the play Tartuffe, the man of a well to do family, named Orgon, is deceived by a self -proclaimed “holy man.” So much so that he neglects his entire family and ignores one major and perhaps obvious fact: that Tartuffe, whom the play is named after, is a complete fraud. Tartuffe represents everything wrong with religion and turns out to be a terrible influence on Orgon.

    1610 Words  | 7 Pages

    INTRODUCTION The authority of the Scripture is fundamental to evangelical faith and witness. But at the same time, not all evangelicals affirm the inerrancy of the scripture. Biblical inerrancy affirms that the biblical text is accurate and totally free from error of any kind. The difficulty in affirming the inerrancy of scripture does not seem to be so much on the spiritual and moral teachings of the Bible, however, the difficulty perhaps seems to emerge on the issue of accuracy in other disciplines such as history, science and acheology.

    People in Verona seem to believe that their religion dictates everything that happens to them, and even though it is pleasant to be able to thank God, it is harmful when these people do not know how to recognize when they create their own problems. I was greatly disappointed that such an avoidable tragedy occurred because of the characters’ excessive faith in religion, and therefore in Friar Lawrence. In summary, I learned that regardless of what extent one believes in a higher power, religion should not be used as an excuse for irresponsibility because irresponsible actions have catastrophic end

  • Protagoras Agnostic Argument

    930 Words  | 4 Pages

    Protagoras Protagoras took on an agnostic approach to answering the question about the existence of God, affirming that one does not have enough evidence to verify or refute the existence of God. This statement is true, considering we don’t know in fact if the nature of said evidence is communicable to humankind. This explains why many religions are faith based, where their plane or reasoning does not follow a rational argument to its resolution. Rather unchallenged trust is placed in the religion and its doctrines, and this serves as the only necessary source of validity. Differences arise in the scepticism held by agnostics, while the Judaeo- Christian belief systems renounce doubt as a sin.

  • The Rose Corruption

    696 Words  | 3 Pages

    The film The Name of The Rose was released in 1986 and stars Sean Connery and Christian Slater as a monk and his novice, respectively. The film does a very good job presenting a historically accurate representation of what monastic life could have been like during the mid to late Middle Ages. Specifically, the film well represents power and corruption among the order, as well as the influence the hierarchy has on the order’s understanding of controversial topics. The Name of the Rose’s primary focus is within the story and its concepts. The film is shot pretty straightforwardly, as there are no grand effects or stylizations.
