Abstract
The industrial revolution brought about a new era of industry-driven wealth and prosperity, but it also resulted in the rapid polarization of social classes. This paper explains the positions of both pro-labor and anti-labor leaders and discusses the validity of these positions.
From the Paper
"By the mid 1800's, industrialization had become a prominent force in American society. With it came drastic increases in productivity and manufacturing efficiency, and a vast amount of wealth, which found its way largely into the hands of the few who were intelligent - or lucky - enough to find themselves in control of lucrative businesses. This newfound supply of wealth began to have a dramatic effect on the upper classes. Even Andrew Carnegie, who called on the wealthy to practice "modest, unostentatious living," found himself living in a fabulous New York mansion by the beginning of the twentieth century. The surprising new wealth of the capitalists, however, contrasted sharply with the relative poverty of the general populace."

Abstract
This paper shows the differences between the Gospel of John and the three Synoptic Gospels in the Passion Narratives. The paper reviews the writing styles, places, and people of each account.
From the Paper
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are considered the synoptic Gospels, because they follow the same general pattern. John's Gospel, however, is distinguished from the other three in many ways. Though, the most important difference takes place in the events of the Passion Narratives.

The Gospel of John, 2006.
This paper examines the film of the fourth gospel, "The Gospel of John."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the recent film adaptation of the fourth gospel, "The Gospel of John" (2003), represents a fascinating cinematic document for study, in that its word for word translation of the gospel text into a visual medium allows us insights into the Biblical text and its relationship to our modern culture. As this review argues with reference to both the film and its Biblical source text, the textual fidelity of "The Gospel of John" compels us to a realization of the oral and written qualities of the gospel which do not lend themselves to dramatic visual presentation.
From the Paper
"E. Randolph Richards, in "Paul and First-Century Letter Writing," studies the letters of Paul - one of the most important figures in early Christianity - within the context of letter writing in classical antiquity in general. As this review will demonstrate, Richards' study challenges a number of our modern misconceptions regarding the nature of authority and authorship during Paul's era and his focus upon the mechanics of Paul's letter writing as opposed to the content of his letters themselves illuminates many otherwise obscured complexities of the Christian mission in the Roman world of the first century."

Christian Gospel: John, 2008.
This paper is a explanation of how to present the gospel to non-Christians from the gospel of John.
1,260 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 2 sources, MLA, £ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that in order to present the gospel to a different religious group, it must be presented in a manner that does not tell the other religion that their religious beliefs are wrong and that Christianity is right. Instead, Christianity must be presented in such a manner that it is connected to the current beliefs of the religious group and thus can be seen as an extension of them. Since the central character in Christianity is Jesus Christ, the essential selling point to help someone come to a saving faith in Christ is to present Christianity as a story of Jesus. The author asserts that the best way to do this is through a use of the Gospel of John and explains why.
From the Paper
"Jesus' ministry involved numerous acts of kindness, preaching and forgiveness. Many of these acts are seen as miracles, or 'Signs' as the Gospel of John refers to them. These included exorcisms, walking on water, turning water into wine, and raising people from the dead.
"According to the Gospel of John, three Passover feasts occurred during the ministry of Jesus, suggesting that this period lasted for three years. The major event of the ministry phase was the giving of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus preached the New Covenant with God, which many consider his announcement of both a new religion and that he was the Son of God. The Sermon on the Mount contained the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer. It is often viewed as an extension of Mosses' announcement of the Ten Commandments as the Old Covenant with God."

Abstract
This paper relates that the importance of communicating the Gospel in missionary work cannot be overstated. The paper also points out that, without an effective way of communicating the Gospel, the targeted audience will never be converted. The paper then discusses the ways in which the Gospel can be communicated and the importance of selecting a method that suits the community that the missionary is in. The paper further describes the ways that media selection play a key role in the presentation of the Gospel and discusses the impact that globalization has had on missionary work.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Philosophy of Communication
Initial Considerations
Message Contextualization
Method Determination
Media Selection
Measurement Implementation
Globalization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Globalization is a current trend throughout the world that is having a large impact on missions. Where a missionary used to struggle to find things to relate to, a missionary can now enter remote areas of China and chat with teenage boys about the latest episode of The Simpsons thanks to the television. While globalization has many more negative impacts than positive ones, it seems, there are a few bright spots that can aide a missionary in his attempt to contextualize the Gospel or the media that he'll use to present it. In China, little kids swap Christmas cards without even realizing the meaning behind them; this presents an open door for a missionary to relate the Gospel to the child. Muslims, who are from a very exclusionary culture, are provided with access to pluralistic ideas through the television and the internet that might challenge their thinking enough to open them up to the Gospel ."

Abstract
The Bible is probably the most read and most controversial book in the history of humanity. Much of this controversy can be attributed to the first four books of the New Testament, which are referred to as the four gospels. The four gospels chronicle the life of Jesus Christ,including his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. This paper examines these books and solidifies the idea that the gospels are eyewitness testimonies whose differences and similarities are valuable in exploring and proving the historical life of Jesus Christ, the Lord God on earth.
Introduction
Brief Overview of History Related to the Intertestamental Period
History of the Gospels and Critical Assessments
The Four Gospels: Differences and Similarities
Matthew and Mark
Luke Comparisons
Comparisons to the Gospel of John
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There is a significant period of time, which separates the last of the Old Testament writings and the first of the New Testament writings. This time is referred to as the intertestamental period (Bloomberg). During this time, there are other accounts of Judaism, which were never accepted, by Judaism or Christianity as canonical or God inspired. There are two main accounts that fit this description, the apocrypha and the pseudepigrapha. Although these accounts are not viewed as canonical many historians have used them to evaluate the Jewish faith during the time the books were written(Bloomberg)."

Abstract
The paper defines the Gnostic Gospels and explains how Gnosticism has evolved over time. The paper compares the Gnostic Gospels to the Gospels of the New Testament of the Holy Bible which are the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The paper discusses how most authorities on the Gnostic Gospels agree that one cannot dismiss the content of the writings, neither can they be used for strict interpretation of the New Testament. However, it appears that these writings certainly provide some useful information. The paper concludes that the gaining of Gnosis is affirmed to be good for the individual who seeks to possess knowledge.

Introduction
Gnosis Defined
What exactly are the Gnostic Gospels?
The Evolution of Gnosticism
A Comparison to the New Testament
Gnosticism - Individualistic
Gnosticism - Social Stratification
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Gnostic Gospels have been assigned the same importance by the majority of scholars that has been given the 'Dead Sea Scrolls'. "The Gospel of Truth" was discovered at Nag Hammadi in Egypt on the Nile River "about thirty miles northwest of the site of Luxor...[and is a manuscript] which is "thirteen papyrus codices of Gnostic works." The majority of the manuscripts are "said to be in the Coptic Museum at Cairo..." however one manuscript "found its way out of Egypt and was finally purchased for the Jung Institute of Zurich, Switzerland." (1957) The Gospel of Truth is believed to have been written in the mid-second century A.D."

Context & Authorship
Comparative Elements of the Canonical Gospels and their Christology's
From the Paper
"In order for one to aptly grasp the full spectrum of information that this research based analysis offers, it is crucial for the reader to understand the title of this work; The Christology of the Gospel of John, and what the words Gospel and Christology truly signify. Gospel, as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary, 'The glad tidings (of the kingdom of God)' announced to the world by Jesus Christ. Hence, the body of religious doctrine taught by Christ and His apostles; the Christian revelation, religion or dispensation (OED). Secondly, the word Christology, as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary, is that part of theology which relates to Christ; a doctrine or theory concerning Christ (OED). With these definitions, it is easy to ascertain the fact that this scholarly text will not be a simple summary and commentary of the gospel of John's accounts of Jesus, but will be a comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the many facets entwined within the gospel's structure. As a result of the six page restraint placed upon this dissertation, the text will mainly focus upon the issues of authorship surrounding John's gospel, as well as providing a special focus on the Christological/Theological differences evident between John's Gospel and the three synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This text will take into consideration and incorporate details concerning the context (time/place of composition) of John's Gospel, possible sources contributed in the Gospel's construction, and unique literary features that enable the reader's a better understanding of the Gospel's literary style and technique."

Abstract
This paper delves into the text and historical validity of "The Gospel of Mark," the second of the four Gospels from the "New Testament." This paper explores the views and opinions of biblical historians who attribute the stories depicted in the "Gospel of Mark" to the passage of oral tradition. The writer contends and explains how the "Gospel of Mark" was linked directly to actual historical events and social forces which were at play during Christ's life and ultimate death. This paper analyzes the role of the Jews in Christ's crucifixion as described in this Gospel while also discussing the support and and exoneration of Pilate of any wrongdoing. This paper also details the literary symbols and themes that separate this particular Gospel from the others, including the fact that Mark tends to ignore specific allegories and riddles which are common tools used in the other three Gospels.
From the Paper
"Unlike other gospels, Mark bears many traits that make it stand alone religiously, both furthering it form other gospels and also providing a source for its inclusion in textual collectives. In the first chapter, for instance, Jesus' interment in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights does not include discourse with Satan, but only instead encounters with the wild beasts of the terrain. In the next chapter, Mark states that which Matt and Luke ignored, saying that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. This moment is a direct hit, once again, on the Jews and their cultural society. Two literary hallmarks characterize the gospel of Mark, differentiating it from the others. First, Mark tends to ignore parables and riddles, a popular tool of the other gospel authors and disciples. Additionally, Mark tends to write in literary circles, providing great moments of contrast for the reader."

The Gospel of Matthew, 2007.
This paper discusses the Gospel of Matthew, which was one of four gospel accounts of the life of Jesus.
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 5 sources, APA, £ 18.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer maintains that the Gospel of Matthew is considered by many as the inspired Word of God and contains an account of the life of Jesus. The writer also notes that it covers how Jesus fulfilled the Prophecy of his being the Messiah. The writer discusses that even though Matthew tried to make this writing a book of how Christians should act in the church, he also related the story of Jesus' life and the texts of his sermons. Further, the writer claims that when Matthew did this, future readers were able to hear Jesus' exact words on how to love each other and to treat each other with forgiveness and respect.
From the Paper
"In the Book of Matthew, the first two chapters cover the whole history of Jesus, from the listing of his generations and lineage, the story of Mary and Joseph's engagement through the birth and how they raised Jesus to be a man in their home.
The third chapter is about John the Baptist and how he baptized Jesus. Chapter Four begins Jesus' ministry, when he went into the desert to fast and pray, but was tempted by the devil. After that he began his preaching ministry. He gathered the disciples, Simon, Peter, Andrew, James and John, who were fishermen, and they followed him throughout Gallilee. The rest of the book of Matthew, from Chapter 5 through 26, tells the stories of his preaching and firing up the people. This section can be divided into the Sermon on the Mount, the mission Jesus gave his disciples, the Parables, the "Church Order" in which he talks about Christian relationships."

"The Gospel of Luke", 2002.
Explores the historical and spiritual aspects of "The Gospel of Luke".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
"The Gospel of Luke", the third of the four Gospels in the New Testament, tells the story of Jesus' life, death, and of his resurrection. While the text of the Gospel does not directly name the author, traditional wisdom has it that it was written by Luke, who was a follower of Paul, the author of "The Acts of the Apostles". The author indicates that while he was not a direct witness to Jesus' life, he is a chronicler of all that had been written and said about Him and created a narrative of the facts of His life (Luke 1:1-4). "The Gospel of Luke" focuses intently upon the actual historic order of events from the birth of John and the future coming of Jesus Christ in prophecy. Spiritually, the Gospel of Luke focuses intently upon the concept of the suffering Savior and of the saintly life, and of tolerance (mercy). It is the purpose of this paper to explore the "Gospel of Luke" in the New Testament and to observe his instructions on suffering and mercy.

Gospels and Epistles, 2006.
Compares the Christian gospels to the epistles of the same church.
3,000 words (approx. 12.0 pages), 6 sources, APA, £ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Four canonical gospels make up the basis of Christianity - the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This paper compares these gospels to epistles - letters written to individuals or groups of assembled Christians. The paper concludes that both gospels and epistles are essential parts of the New Testament. The difference is that gospels are essentially the history of Jesus Christ and his sayings by another person, while epistles are letters to junior churches regarding the administration of the church by an authority of the church.
From the Paper
"Another problem arises from the large number of similarities between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. This is the reason why they are called Synoptic Gospels which means that they have seen together. In comparison, the Gospel according to John is materially different in both narrative and dialogue. This brings up a problem in both assigning of authorship and also the reasons for similarity. The question is whether each individual was relating the scenes from the life of Jesus that he had himself witnessed directly, or were the three Gospels the result of the work of one person and then written by others?"

Gospel of Thomas, 2002.
An argument for the Gospel of Thomas.

Abstract
This is a study on the use of Gospels of Thomas in a time where, if the gospels of Luke, John, Mark and Mathew were newly circulating at the same time, how the choice for Thomas' Gospel will be made. The argument presented will tell how the Gospel of Thomas was a better way than the Old Testament in bringing the message of God the common people. With the advent of Thomas as the 'twin' of Jesus and the creation of this gospel was a good change for the Church and is supported here.
