Christology and Jesus
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research essay exploring contemporary study of Christology. The focus of Christology is somewhat different depending on which theologian one reads, however one definition that seems to be accepted is that Christology and bible studies are 'two aspects of a single inquiry into divine revelation.' It also focuses on the life of Jesus and once again asks the question, 'Who was He?' This writer contends that some things in life must be accepted on faith and 'who Jesus is' is one of those things.

How Jesus' Sermon On The Mount Relates To Christian Life & The Church
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Jesus' Sermon on the Mount relates directly to the Church and Christian life in that it speaks of life having specific meaning. No matter the how saddening the cause, no matter how sorrowful the occasion, Jesus' Sermon reflects the positive -- much the same way the Church and Christian life look upon the good of each situation. Indeed, the main correlation among them is that one must learn to let go of mortal attachments; that holding onto entities of this world will only delay one's salvation. The writer discusses how the truth of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount mirrored the Church and Christian beliefs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
