Abstract
This paper discusses the 'Letter to the Hebrews' found in the New Testament. The paper specifically discusses the style and authorship of 'Hebrews', as it is not attributed to an author in the Bible. It compares the style and message of 'Hebrews' to other letters of the New Testament. The paper discusses and analyzes, in detail, the content of the 'Letter to the Hebrews'.
From the Paper
"After describing Jesus' supremacy and chastising Christians for their desire to turn back towards Levitical Judaism, the author injects hope into his writing. He calls upon Christians to persevere, telling them, "Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward. For you need endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised." Then, the author shows how Christians are now called upon to demonstrate the type of faith in Jesus that the Biblical ancestors had in God. He tells them to "see to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God." This statement reveals why evangelicalism is so important to modern Christians. Old Testament Jews were only responsible for keeping themselves in accordance to God's will. However, Christians are called upon to ensure that their fellow man receives God's grace."

Abstract
Mesopotamia was the land of four primary civilizations: the Sumerian, the Akkadians, the Babylonian and the Assyrians. The paper shows that the Hebrews, like the Akkadians, belong to a group of people known as Semites and from there we can see the influence of Mesopotamian culture in some of the Hebrews traditions. The paper shows that during the same time, civilization began in Egypt. A distinct difference can be seen in the social, religious and political system from Mesopotamia and the link between the two civilizations are the Hebrews. The paper examines historical documents from all three societies - "The Epic of Gilgamesh", first passed on by word of mouth and later recorded by the Sumerians around the third millennium and finally edited and written down in cuneiform by the Babylonians; "Instructions of Kagemni", a set of etiquette amongst Egyptian noblemen and government executives; and finally the Holy Hebrew Bible ("Tanach"). The paper shows how the three societies are linked through proof in these documents.
From the Paper
""Hymn to Aton" reflects the political and social status of the time and adds to the importance of the aid of god to proper management of a territory and the people within. This was the first and only attempt of a Egyptian ruler to a monotheistic society. It could be argued that this could be an isolated attempt or that the Hebrews somehow influenced Amenhotep IV to this change. It is very important to consider this possibility since it would make the transferring of similar traditions between the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians and the Hebrews civilizations understandable.
The role of women is important and well respected in Egyptian civilization, perhaps more than Mesopotamian. The "Hymn to Aton" recognizes the importance of both sexes for procreation. This document is used just as the "Laws of Hammurabi" to better control his territory at a time when the clergy and the multitude of gods and temples are gaining popularity and, obviously, control."

Ancient Greeks and Hebrews, 2005.

Abstract
This paper discusses similarities between the ancient Greeks and the ancient Hebrews. It discusses the similarities in terms of both being relatively small kingdoms, both being centered on a few autonomous cities, both with a well-developed religious mythos, and both given to philosophical writings. The paper then compares the ancient Greeks and Hebrews to the ancient Romans.
From the Paper
"Ancient Greece and the ancient Hebrews had similar civilizations in many respects, both being relatively small kingdoms, both being centered on a few autonomous cities, both with a well-developed religious mythos, and both given to philosophical writings. Neither civilization was as grandiose or widespread as the Roman civilization that followed, and both were shaped around smaller groupings of warring cities or tribes. The tribes of Israel were unified and held together first by their beliefs, but they clearly lacked many of the elements considered essential to the concept of a nation. The tribes of Israel never acted long as a unit prior to the time of the rise of the monarchy in Palestine. There was before that time only single tribes, and occasionally small groups of tribes intervening in historical events. The term "nation" used to refer to the Israelites cannot be seen as having the same sense when used for other nations."

Abstract
This paper examines the ways in which Greek religion was tied to Greek political beliefs and practices and the ways in which Hebrew religious beliefs and practices were linked to social conventions and cultural values since neither religion can be understood in isolation from its social context.
From the Paper
"Because most people have now heard of Greek mythology, we should start off by discussing how it differs from Greek religion. Greek mythology was a collection of folk stories about heroism, passion, loss and victory. Greek religion was much more serious, being focused on the ways that people should feel towards the gods. Greek religion was practiced for over a thousand years, from the time of the poet Homer (who lived in the ninth century before the Christian era) through the reign of the Emperor Julian in the fourth century a.d."

Abstract
This paper describes the biblical passage of Acts: Chapter 20, verses 7 through 12 and concludes with the New American Commentary based criticism the section lacks the mention of Paul's Jerusalem collection--a collection that Paul had mentioned in his letters that would have taken place during this period but which does not appear. In addition, the paper discusses the events of Philippians 2:5-11 and a variety of commentaries pertaining to this passage.
From the Paper
"The immediate passage of Acts 20:7-12 depicts one incident during Paul's time in Troas on missionary journeys. The Book is throught to have been written around 60 C.E. Acts 13-28 recount Paul's missionary journeys to Cyprus, Asia Minor, and Greece. It is likely that the Luke traveled with Paul and may have kept a log of the events he witnessed. This accounts for the narrative and story-like quality of the information included. The interesting story of Eutychus and Paul fit well with the other stories in the Chapter and Book."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The author of Hebrews points out that Moses deserved honor because he was faithful to his house. Jesus, however, deserved more honor because He built that house. Moses was a servant in his house, but Jesus was a son in the house. The Jews had a very high opinion of their religion, and the author was trying to make the point that the Christian religion was as worthy of consideration as Judaism; not only that, but the priesthood of Christianity was even superior to the Jewish priesthood. The author is trying to explain that the relationship between Jesus and the gospel is the same as the relationship between Moses and the law. Both Moses and Jesus were faithful in fulfilling ancient promises. Moses fulfilled the earthly promise God made to Abram about having his own nation. Jesus, however, fulfilled the spiritual promise God made as far back as Eden, as Adam and Eve were being expelled. Jesus fulfilled forty centuries of spiritual promises through His faithfulness."

From the Paper
"Adversaries referred to in verse one is from the Hebrew adjectival form of tsar. In this context, it may be used interchangeably with enemy. The enemy referred to is the Samaritans, the remainder of the ten tribes, and the foreigners who had joined with them. Judah refers to the kingdom comprised of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin which occupied the southern part of Canaan after the nation split upon the death of Solomon while Benjamin is the tribe descended from Benjamin, the son of Jacob".

Abstract
In this article, the writer defines biblical exegesis. The writer then applies the concept to Chapter 5 from the Book of Amos. In this paper, the writer also looks at the question of how an uneducated herdsman could produce a work of such incredible prose and poetry.
From the Paper
"Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines exegesis as EXPOSITION EXPLANATION esp. an explanation or critical interpretation of a text. Before getting into the formal traditional and critical redaction of the Old Testament prophet Amos' chapter, I will put the text in historical context. Based on the inscription at the beginning of his book, Amos was a herdsman from the town of Thecua, a Southern Kingdom village twelve miles to the south of Jerusalem, in what is now the modern state of Israel. According to his writings he ... "

Abstract
Reviews concepts in book on the dangers of supressonism for Jews. Examines historical/religious absorption of Jews into the Christian realm (supersessionism). Nazi Germany. Conversion of Edith Stetin by the Caltholic Church; view of her martyrdom & its implications for the suffering of Jews during the Holocaust. Martyrdom of Death of the Maidens. Questions of identity & responsibility of Christians & Jews in light of the Shoah.
From the Paper
"In Shoah: The Paradigmatic Genocide: Essays in Exegesis and Eisegesis, Zev Garber writes that Jews must protect themselves from supersessionism, or the historical/religious absorption into the Christian realm, as if the Jews were merely incomplete Christians. Supersessionism is a danger to both Christians who would even subconsciously espouse it, and who would be antisemitic in doing so, and to Jews whose religion could be weakened by the view. Supersessionism, inadvertently or not, is a force aligned with the forces which created Nazi Germany, although it comes disguised as a sign of Christian sympathy for the suffering of Jews.
The dangers of supersessionism are exemplified in the attitude of the Catholic Church to the converted Jew Edith Stein who was murdered by the Nazis. The Church has declared that..."

An Exegesis of Genesis 11:1-9, 2002.
An insight into the story of the "Tower of Babel".

Abstract
This paper examines both the literal and figurative interpretations of the story of the Tower of Babel found in Genesis 11:1-9. It supports the theory that in this case, there is no disparity between them.
From the Paper
"The Bible speaks to many people in many different ways. Even a seemingly simple passage can have many interpretations. Genesis is a combination of narrative stories, which illustrate man?s relationship with YHWH, as well as relationships among themselves. It also contains genealogical information about the first family groupings and the population of the earth. The genealogical passages are relatively straightforward, the only areas of disagreement being seemingly temporal disparities from generation to generation. The narratives, however, have at least two interpretations and many variations on these depending on whether one takes them as literal (word for word as they happened), or as symbolic of concepts and historical events."

Authorship of Epistle to the Hebrews, 1999.

From the Paper
"The authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews has never been established and, barring the appearance of new evidence, seems unlikely ever to be determined. No firm tradition ever assigned the document to a particular writer, no statements have ever been discovered that make a solid attribution, and extensive examination of internal evidence has failed to produce anything resembling consensus. Scholars have proposed numerous candidates but such ideas depend almost entirely on internal evidence since as little is known about the audience and date of the letter as is known about the writer. Despite these drawbacks speculation about the author of Hebrews has gone on intermittently for nearly two millennia. This is not speculation for its own sake, however, since the identification of author, audience, and date is intrinsically related to understanding the document. It is.."

Biblical Exegesis, 2005.
An analysis of the "Book of Job," Chapter 1, Verses 1-12.
2,616 words (approx. 10.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 78.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The "Book of Job" is perhaps one of the most debated sections of canonized scripture among members of established religions, in part due to the unusual nature of the events described in the text and because of the literal interpretations that are often ascribed to the story without regard to the manner in which they purportedly fit into theological constructs. The first chapter of "Job" is critically analyzed in this paper, with a specific focus on verses six through twelve. It looks at how these verses are designed to help set the stage for the coming calamities that befall Job and provide a deeper insight and sense of the message that is being conveyed by the author.
From the Paper
"One purpose of the book of Job may have originally been to illustrate the distinct difference between God and man and the dramatic difference between the two types of beings that existed in spheres that were mutually exclusive. Glatzer comments on just this point in a review of the work completed by Saadya Gaon who "kept his good, just, and gracious God far removed from unseemly contact with the human world." (119) Gaon's writings about the book of Job were far removed from contemporary interpretation given that they were completed some time in the tenth century C.E. and may have captured some of the true meaning hidden within the story."
