A physician [...]

Some Christians in the first century AD believed that Jesus might return, which represents the end of times, during their lifetime because Jesus had said to his followers to be alert or be ready at all times which started the doctrine of Imminence.

African-American criticism is a useful tool for Biblical scholars because it helps recognize the importance, portrayal, and misinterpretations of Africa and Africans according to biblical authors. This form of criticism is used by all scholars, not just African-Americans. Unfortunately, there are very few African-Americans who are interested in pursuing a career in Theology. Dr. Homan [...]

When I first saw this blog, I was taken aback because I didn’t really know where to start with the finding of these facts about my problem. Because my problem isn’t a traditional one, it is hard to do research about it and find solid statistics about my problem. So instead, I will do research [...]

Wow…this is really something else… I honestly thought that I would never see this day. I didn’t realized that time flew so fast with all the blogs that we did. I guess since we were out for Gustav and Ike that kind of made time seem faster. I honestly remember the first blog that I [...]

I responded to the people that left comments on my blog already. The difference between source and textual that source criticism studies and analyzes text from the Bible, while textual criticism is somewhat the same to literary criticism. Tobit was a Jewish man. He followed his religion and kept the opinions of the Jews. He [...]

Lots of times critics note the similarities of the different text in books of the bible and compare. Most but not all of source criticisms are widely accepted. Textual criticism is used to [...]
