When I first looked at this assignment, I was kind of scared. I didn’t know anything about the Lord of Rings, I’ve never seen any of the movies, read any of the books, or known anything about J.R.R. Tolkien. Although I was intrigued at the idea of researching a massively popular series. While doing searchingContinue reading “Final Blog – Lord of the Rings”

The Catechism of the Catholic Church immediately instructs that the four characteristics of the Nicene Creed: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic are inseparably linked with each other. The Catechism also makes it very clear that the church does not possess these characteristics, but rather it is Christ who, through the Holy Spirit then makes theContinue reading “CCC §§ 733-741, 811–870 Nicholas J. Healy, “Eating Fire and Spirit: The Eucharist and the Blessed Trinity,” 89-98 in The Beauty of God’s House.”

The Catechism of the Catholic Church has a wide range of descriptions in regards to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For the purpose of this blog, we’re focusing on paragraphs 639-655 particularly.

The Book of Romans is the letter of Paul to the church in Rome. In order to understand and break down the book of Romans, I think that it is important to first focus on Paul and what he was about and stood for. Paul is notably one of the most well known apostles andContinue reading “Paul and his Letters: Romans 1-8, 1 Corinthians 1-2, Philippians”

To start this blog, I think that the best thing to do is summarize the 3 chapters which we are covering. John Chapters 18, 19, and 20. They’re not the most happy or cheerful chapters in the bible, but they certainly are significant. In Chapter 18, this is where Judah betrays Jesus by leading aContinue reading “Gospel of John 16-21 & Ratzinger Reading”

The assigned chapter readings from the Gospel of Luke (1-9,17-24) and Gospel of John (1-6) do in fact have a lot in common. They both tell stories about the beginning of the belief in Christ, although slightly different they both hold a lot of the same details. For example in John Chapter 6: “Then JesusContinue reading “Gospel of John Chapters 1-6 & Raymond Brown”

From the start of the assigned reading, it is evident that the book of Luke is extremely chronologically accurate. Throughout reading I felt that I got this large feeling because it followed the life of Jesus from a young child to his ultimate death and resurrection. I feel that the theme of overall sense ofContinue reading “Gospel of Luke Chapters 1-9, 17-24”

After reading the article “An Introduction to the New Testament” by Raymond Brown, there were many things that I walked away with. In the beginning of the article, we are introduced to what the New Testament means “good announcement” referring to proclamation or a message. The article notes how Mark opens by discussing “the goodContinue reading “An Introduction to the New Testament by Raymond Brown”

The book of Job focuses on questioning. The story evolves around Job who is loyal and does everything in his power and will to serve God. Yet, he somehow has his money and property all taken from him. This story is rather intriguing because it is typical in the bible for people to be rewardedContinue reading “NJ Bible: Intro to Job, Job 1-14, 38-42”
