    Rumi's The Question

    In Rumi’s writing “The Question”, he questioned God’s presence and said that it was actually in front of you in the form of a burning fire to the left, and a lovely stream of water to the right. A group of people stood before the fire and water, and couldn’t seem to know which one was considered to be the blessing. The group of people split in two and most of them walked into the lovely stream of water, but found that it wasn’t what it seemed to be. The majority of the group who guarded against the fire and walked into the lovely stream somehow ended up into the fire. Rumi stated in this story, “Those who love the water of pleasure and make it their devotion are cheated with this reversal.” (The Norton Anthology World Literature, Volume B Page…

    Sigridur Gudmarsdottir Analysis

    Living in the heart of Mississippi, I often visit the many wondrous creeks and river systems. It is a complete joy to submerge oneself in the water; indeed, I find myself being drawn closer to the divine, and immersed in that which was so lovingly fashioned by the creator. I think it might be fruitful to delve into a particular property of water that I hold so dear, and I often relate this directly to students in my ministry. When one is submerged, it is similar to an act of embrace; as a matter of fact, water acts almost as though it were trying to form a bond. I find myself at one with nature as the water surrounds and envelops the physical senses, just as God embraces the spiritual senses. Though Christians have long developed an attitude that the sacramental water of the church houses are somehow superior (or more holy) to those of the natural landscape, this is not the case; furthermore, this view “stems from a Greek tendency of preferring the spiritual to the physical and embodied.” (Gudmarsdottir 115) Therefore, Christians have come to regard the symbolic water of Baptism as something holy, and the supply which gives us physical vitality as…

    John Of The Cross Analysis

    John divides the dark night into two stages. The first stage is the “dark night of the senses”. In this first stage, God wishes to lead the beginner away from the love of self and his desire for pleasure into a deeper union with him. God accomplishes this by allowing the beginner to fall into a state of aridity. St. John tells us “God turns all this light of theirs into darkness, and shuts against them the door and the source of the sweet spiritual water which they were tasting in God” On the outset this seems very harsh, but St. John gives us the analogy of a mother allowing her child to walk on its own rather than with support from its parents. If this were not done the child would never be able to walk, so too, God does for us in the spiritual…

    Summary Of Women In The Gospel Of Mark

    For the research question, I will be analyzing how women are connected to faith in healing accounts of women found in the Gospel of Mark. The plotting of women in Mark’s story is important because in many instances, women are representative figures, especially in the stories of the healings of Jesus. As one reads the Gospel of Mark and gains a better understanding of the life of Jesus and his healings, one may wonder about the depths of faith the women have who have occurrences with Jesus. Per Richard A. Horsley (2001), in The Politics of Plot in Mark’s Story, the plotting of women in the gospel of mark is a crucial piece to the overall story, however it does not allow for a clear understanding until the climax of the story, which is considered…

    Women In The Aeneid

    In Book 14, while in Simon’s house, a woman pours a jar of ointment on Jesus’s head, illustrating Jesus’s holy figure as the ointment is priced highly. Such action depicts Jesus as a god-like figure, as well as the power that rests within the woman in which she chooses to praise Jesus. While applying ointment on Jesus, the woman recognizes and legitimizes Jesus’s special existence, which is extremely important in Jesus’s life, since he is indicated to be the Messiah. Furthermore, in Book 15, when Jesus is hanged on the crucifix, “there were also women looking on from a distance...These used to follow him and provided for him when he was in Galilee.” (Mark, 5.40-41) At this instance, the faith that the women has for Jesus reveals their respects toward him, and the fact that the author focuses on having only women in the audience suggests that women withhold the persistence that men seem to lack. Moreover, in Book 16, when Jesus resurrects, “he appeared first to Mary Magdalene.” (Mark, 16.9) Such a detail is significant because Mary, after Jesus casts out the seven demons in her, becomes loyal and devoted to him; as a result, the fact that Mary is the first person Jesus chooses to see illustrates not only mutual respect between them, but also the power that women hold as Jesus’s supporters, in which he acknowledges it. Thus, through…

    What Can We Learn from Luke About Jesus’ Attitudes to Women?

    In order to discuss what we can learn from Luke about Jesus’ attitudes to women we must first understand a little about Luke himself. According to Charpentier E (1981:81) Luke had been seen as the, ‘beloved physician’, which is also cited in Hayes, M A. and Gearon L (1998:145) whom further state that Luke travelled with Paul from Troas to Philippi in Greece, Paul, (Col 4:14) expressly calls him, ‘the beloved physician’. He was in fact Paul’s medical adviser. Luke’s acts were written in c AD 80.…

    Roles Of Women In The Gospel Of Luke

    The disciples had left Jesus while he was at Jacob’s well, and while they were gone, a Samarian woman came to draw water. Jesus asked for a drink, which is surprising since Jews and Samarians never communicate, and Jews never shared anything with Samarians. The woman is not named, and all the reader knows is that she is from Samaria. It is Jesus who sought the woman and began talking to her first; the woman has no idea who he is, only that he is a Jew and claims to be greater than her ancestor Jacob who had built the well. This opens the door for Jesus to mention that his water gives eternal life, whereas the water from Jacob’s well will only last a short time.…
