Abstract
This paper examines how the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are four of the most controversial books in what makes up what we know as the modern Bible and how they form the basis of the modern Christian religion itself. It looks at how there are two conflicting views of the Gospels, the fundamentalist view, which takes the incredible happenings contained in these books on faith and the historical-critical view. It evaluates how the fundamentalist view contends that the miracles performed are indeed factual and literal accounts of the events that transpired. It shows how the historical-critical view of presents the happenings in the four Gospels as a type of myth and takes the viewpoint that the happenings are allegorical, or political satire, as opposed to being factual accounts of the events including the stand that Jesus represents a set of ideals, rather than an actual living person. It analyzes how the contradictory positions of these two viewpoints shake the very foundation of modern Christianity.
From the Paper
"There are four basic hypotheses that support the fundamentalist point of view of the synoptic gospels. They are called the Markan priority hypothesis, the Matthean priority hypothesis, the Lukan priority hypothesis, and the Griesbach hypothesis (Carlson, online). These hypotheses explain the similarities in the Gospels by acknowledging that someone wrote it first, and then the other two copied it. The differences are explained as writer errors on the part of the copier, or as personal differences in the interpretation of the writings of another. The only disagreements between these hypotheses are the arguments over who the primary author was, and who copied whom. The main point to remember, in the historical critical view, is that no matter, who copied whom, the accounts of the events were written down at least fifty years after the death of Jesus. If the original writers of the Gospels were actual witnesses to the events, they would be very old by the time they wrote the stories."

From the Paper
"This paper will offer a comparison and contrasting of the "Righteous Teacher," as suggested in the translation of the restored Scroll of Habakkuk recovered from the first cave at Qumran in 1948, and the figure of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of the New Testament, as presented in the Gospel of Matthew; specifically, the "Sermon on the Mount" in Chapters 5, 6, and 7, which was His first discourse, on the Righteousness of the Kingdom.
The Midrash Pesher of Habakkuk, as Brownlee titles it, is perhaps a mixed metaphor in terms of biblical commentary. In the strictest sense, midrash is seen as scholarly, rabbinical commentary on and interpretation of the books of the Hebrew Scriptures, and Jewish religious observance and practice in the light thereof. The Midrashic tradition traces its origin to the..."

The Parable of the "Lost Son", 2007.
Looks at the parable of the "Lost Son" (Luke 15:11-32) and its purpose in the film "Jesus of Nazareth".

Abstract
This paper describes one of the most well-known parables the "Prodigal Son" or "Lost Son" (Luke 15:11-32), which encompasses all the ideas of Christian doctrine. The author discusses the literal and the spiritual or metaphorical interpretations of the message of the story and relates the way that Franco Zeffirelli directed the telling of this parable in his movie "Jesus of Nazareth". The author concludes that Zeffirelli probably chose to include this scene in the movie as a way to visually demonstrate the response that Jesus' listeners had when incorporating the story into their own lives.
From the Paper
"Because Jesus' mission on Earth was to spread the word of God and wash away people's sins, the purpose of this particular parable is to show that even the most corrupt individual can still enter the Kingdom of Heaven if he or she places full faith in the Lord and asks to be forgiven for his or her sins. In order to be permitted to enter the Lord's Kingdom, one must trust and believe completely in the words of Jesus and the omnipotent supremacy of God over all things human and earthly."

Abstract
The paper discusses federal and state case law involving the Fourth Amendment. The paper shows how the right to protection from unreasonable search and seizure is not a simple issue, particularly when dealing with the search of vehicles. The paper highlights how there are no consistent laws regarding search and seizure of vehicles; there are differing opinions of various courts on these issues. The paper concludes that motorists will continue to be confused and the rights of American citizens will continue to be in jeopardy.
From the Paper
"When originally drafted, the Fourth Amendment sought to protect the colonists from unreasonable search and seizure in smuggling cases. Prior to the Amendment, the English authorities used writs of assistance, or general warrants that authorized officials to search anything and seize any goods. These writs remained in effect for the lifetime of the king. In 1760, when King George II passed away, these writs were challenged by James Otis on the grounds these writs went against the English constitution (FindLaw, "History."). As a result, when the Amendments to the United States constitution were drafts, a protection of unreasonable search and seizure was included in the rights of the people."

Abstract
This paper explains that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, sometime between 8 BC and 29 AD, of virgin birth; whereas, Mohammed was born in a well-to-do family in Mecca (in present-day Saudi Arabia) in 570 AD and was raised by his uncle Abu Talib,the leader of the Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe. The author points out that the death of Jesus and Mohammed did not impede the growth of their religions mainly due to the efforts of their disciples. The paper relates that, although moderate Muslims emphasize the peaceful character of the religion, the extremist elements among the Muslims emphasize the aspects of Mohammed's teachings relating to "Jihad" and his military conquests; however, Jesus' message is purely non-violent and stresses the infinite love of God for humanity.

How the Messages of Jesus and Mohammed Being Carried out in the World Today
From the Paper
"Most Christians believe that Jesus is divine and a member of the Holy Trinity, i.e., one of the three divine persons who are God (the other two being the Father and the Holy Spirit). They believe that he is the Son of God and the Messiah. Hence all those Christians who consider Jesus as divine consider it appropriate to worship him. They do so by singing his praises in hymns, psalms and spiritual songs and by praying to him in the Church. They also quote passages in the Gospel in which the faithful are commanded to worship God (Matthew 4:10; Revelation 19:10; 22:9) and point out that Jesus never objected to his own worship."

'Living Jesus', 2007.
This paper studies the work 'Living Jesus: Learning the Heart of the Gospel', by Luke Timothy Johnson.

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that 'Living Jesus: Learning the Heart of the Gospel' offers a deeply personal insight into approaching the meaning of Jesus Christ within an admirably scholastic framework. The writer notes that the author's primary goal and objective in writing 'Living Jesus' may be to stimulate new modes of thinking about Gospel and to renew or initiate appreciation of the resurrected, living, omnipresent Jesus Christ. The writer concludes that the title of 'Living Jesus' offers readers a double-meaning to contemplate. The writer explains that Jesus is at once living, fully alive and omnipresent and that the title also refers to an active incorporation of Christianity into one's personal life: living Jesus, living as a Christian.
From the Paper
"Being a Christian, according to the author requires a heartfelt confession in the immanence of Jesus: His divine presence in the world. Johnson's emphasis is on action and process, rather than on historical analysis. While the author does not discount the relevance of historical examinations of the life and times of Jesus Christ, he denounces such historical investigations as missing the point. The historian's Jesus is dead, whereas the faithful Christian's Jesus is alive. The mystery of the resurrection is the central motif by which Christians can ponder the living Jesus and His role in the world. Moreover, the resurrection forms the actual inception of the Christian faith, because the cult of Jesus began with the moment of the resurrection."

Different Perspectives of Jesus, 2004.
An examination of how Jesus is depicted in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.
1,358 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper contends that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke offer different representations of Jesus that operate together to establish the full character of Jesus. The paper claims that different perspectives of Jesus help us to realize his importance in regards to various topics. For example, Matthew wrote his Gospel with the intention of convincing Jews that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. Mark focuses on Jesus the teacher. Luke shows us a man that was the friend of those who were typically rejected by society. The paper explains that these different portraits blend together to create the magnificence of Jesus.
From the Paper
"Eugene Peterson adds that Matthew begins his Gospel "by setting the local story of Jesus in it world historical context. He makes sure that as we read his account of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we see the connections with everything that has gone before" (Peterson 8). John MacArthur states that Matthew "argues that Christ is the Messiah" (MacArthur Gospel According to Jesus 61) and "describes a series of Jesus' miracles categorically selected to show the range of the Messiah's credentials" (61). Halley points out that "tradition says that Matthew preached in Palestine for some years, and then traveled to other countries; that he wrote his Gospel originally in Hebrew, and some years later, probably about A. D. 60, issued a more complete edition in Greek" (Halley 413). The context of the Gospel helps establish its credibility."

"Man's Search for Meaning", 2004.
A reader's search for clarity, basis, adequacy, and implications in Victor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning".

Abstract
This paper discusses the book written by psychiatrist Victor Frankl, "Man's Search for Meaning". The paper explains how he personally came to grips with the conflict of the meaning of life by developing a new form of psychotherapy to rival Sigmund Freud's. The paper claims that Frankl was first moved to question his life's meaning and impetus after he was imprisoned, first in Auschwitz and then in other concentration camps for the duration of over five years, during World War II. He had to struggle within himself to find plausible reasons to live, to fight on against his persecutors in the face of overwhelming odds. The result of this struggle was the psychotherapeutic method Frankl eventually came to call logo-therapy.
From the Paper
"Victor Frankl was first moved to question his life's meaning and impetus after he was imprisoned, first in Auschwitz and then in other concentration camps for the duration of over five years, during World War II. Over and over again, in the face of tremendous suffering and guilt because his own continued survival when so many other people he had known before the war's beginning had died, he had to struggle within himself to find plausible reasons to live, to fight on against his persecutors in the face of overwhelming odds."
