OF GOD IN CHRISTIANITY The monotheistic faiths conceive God as Supreme Being and central figure of faith (Honderich 137). Theologians ascribe qualities like omniscience (all-wise), omnipresence (all-pervasive), omnipotence (all-powerful) and immortality. Additionally, God has been attributed with characteristics like omnibenevolence (infinitely good) and all-loving.

The death of the gods at the hands of a carpenter would forever change the world. In Larry Hurtado’s “Destroyer of the gods” he argues that Christianity presented a cataclysmic shift in Roman culture.

We all come from different back grounds and walks of life. Each one of us has our own personal view of the world and how we view it from our own lens. With each one of our experiences, good or bad, it helps shapes what we call our worldview.

Questions of Honor: Beowulf Beowulf’s honor and integrity can be questioned throughout the entirety of the epic poem, Beowulf. Whether or not his actions are inspired by his own pompous arrogance or confidence, one can argue that he is a hero nonetheless.
