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.

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."

"Mohammed was born in Arabia, specifically in Mecca around 570 A.D. and was very young when he became an orphan. He was raised first by his grandfather and then by his uncle in a family described as 'aristocratic and influential'. Mohammed's childhood was a time of "religious and political confusion and uncertainty" (Islam or Christianity, 2000). When he was 25 years old he married a "40-year old widow named Khadijah" (Ibid) and it was at this age that the first began to speak prophecy due to dreams that he had and this his wife believed were messages that came from God. He was rejected as a prophet in Mecca but he traveled to Medina and "became a religious and political leader." (Ibid) Mohammed is stated to have through "a series of violent battles" (Ibid) obtained his income and the conversion of others to Islam and eventually captured Mecca "by force" (Ibid). "

Abstract
This paper delves into the lives and historic accomplishments of Mohammed, considered by many to be the greatest prophet of all times and Jesus, regarded by his followers as the son of God. This paper details the various similarities between the two men including the fact that both were known to spend much time in solitary contemplation and spiritual thought. Both Jesus and Mohammed preached the belief in one God. This paper also examines the dramatic differences between the two which centered around divinity. While Mohammed is seen as the most important prophet to the followers of Islam he is not regarded as a deity. On the other hand a large portion of Christians believe that Jesus is the true son of God and the cornerstone of their faith. This paper also discusses the similarities and differences in Islam and Christianity. The writer contends that followers of both Islam and Christianity feel it is their duty to spread the word about their religion in an attempt to convert others.

From the Paper
"Mohammed (Arab for "the praised one") was born to Abdallah and Amina of the family of Zuhra. He had a difficult childhood. Born into poverty, his father died around the time of his birth. When he was six years old his mother also died, and he was adopted by his grandfather, Abd-Al-Mutallib. When his grandfather died only two years later, he was adopted by his uncle, Abu Talib, who raised him and remained an important person to him for the rest of his life. Not much more about his childhood can be confirmed but when he was 2t, he married Chaddidja, a rich widow and trader. He traveled with her via caravan to fairs. This life of business made him a wealthy man, and he was able to spend much of his time alone in meditation."

Abstract
This paper looks at the differences and similarities between the prophets Jesus and Mohammed and their contexts in their particular religions. The paper compares and contrasts their lives, the impact of their deaths on their religions, how they are worshiped, and how their messages are being carried out into the world. The paper mostly focuses on the similarities between Islam and Christianity.
From the Paper
"With the many recent global controversies about politics and religion, it is important to understand some of the history and background of two of the most popular and powerful religions in the world today. Christianity and Islam are often considered to be two totally different faiths with irreconcilable differences; however, this paper will show their many similarities between them, demonstrating that they are not that different after all. The lives of these two men were fairly different, although they did have a number of elements in common. Both were born in relative poverty in parts of the world with geographical and political similarities. Although Mohammed was born almost 600 years after Jesus, they were both born in highly populated areas of the Middle East where Judaism was a popular religion, practiced along with the polytheism of the ruling group ("Mohammad," 2005, para. 1).

Abstract
According to Maya Angelou's "Champion of the World," Joe Louis became an icon because he changed the concept of what it meant to be an American and for many he represented the American Dream. Similarly, Mohammed Ali achieved greatness and managed to overcome many of the obstacles facing him during this uneasy and turbulent period in American history to become such an American icon. This paper provides an analysis and a comparison of these two individuals and what factors contributed to their success and the part they played in providing role models for American children. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The period during which Joe Louis and Mohammed Ali rose to fame was a difficult time for blacks in general (Stone 2000:100). During this period in American history, many white Americans actually believed that "separate but equal" facilities for African-Americans were appropriate and equitable. In this America, African-Americans were not only different, they were not entitled to use the same restrooms, the same drinking fountains, indeed the same schools as whites because they were inferior to whites. However, Joe Louis and Mohammed Ali served as clear examples that this was simply not the case."

From the Paper
"Pakistan came into being in 1947. The area was part of India until that time. It had been invaded by many Asian peoples through the centuries, with the Muslims arriving in waves from the early 1000s to the 1500s. The British took control over the whole subcontinent in the 1700s. The primarily Muslim areas of India gained independence in 1947 as Pakistan, which then was divided into two widely separated sections (the eastern section would become independent as Bangladesh in 1971). Fighting broke out almost immediately between Muslims and Hindus, and some 7 million Muslims fled from India to Pakistan, while about 6 million Hindus left Pakistan for India. Pakistan is an Islamic republic whose civilian government was ousted in 1977 by a military group, but civilian rule was returned in 1988 (Young students Learning Library, 1996)."

Jesus and the Fishing Boat, 2008.
This paper discusses Jesus and the discovery of a 27-foot fishing boat dating back to the first century B.C., concentrating on the concept of the Sea of Galilee.

Abstract
This research paper focuses on the 27-foot fishing boat from the first century BC found in the Sea of Galilee that is believed to be connected to the historical Jesus. The paper relates that the topic is linked to the ideas surrounding the historical Jesus, his life, activities, involvements, relationships, and view. The paper further relates that the information it contains also describes the artifact and looks at how and where it was discovered. The writer concludes that without the Sea of Galilee, used as an allegory in many of the parables of Jesus, these stories might have been much more difficult for the disciples to understand however, the references to the Sea of Galilee and specifically to the fishermen's trade lends comprehension to many of the sayings of Jesus, that otherwise would have been more difficult for the people of that time to discern and comprehend.

Why the Sea of Galilee?
Summary & Conclusion
From the Paper
"In many ways, the Sea of Galilee is centric to the life and story of the historical Jesus as he called several of his disciples from the shorelines of the Sea of Galilee and they followed him without question. The Sea of Galilee was an important part of the economy in this area of the world during the time that Jesus walked upon the earth and fishing was an important livelihood as well as being important insofar as the food market in this area of the world. Jesus used the symbolism of the fish in many of his teachings, parables and sermons. In fact, the Christian symbol known as the Ichthus is the symbol of a fish, and it is know that during time of Christian persecution following the life, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus that when two Christians would meet they would identify themselves one to the other by one tracing half of the fish symbol in the sand with his foot, and the other, if a Christian, would then trace the other half of the symbol in the sand with his foot thus completing the symbolic 'Ichthus' and both would know that they were in the company of another Christian and that it was safe to talk about Jesus and his ministry."

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

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

Jesus and Women, 2002.
A discussion of how Jesus and the Disciples enhanced the treatment of
women through the example of Mary Magdalene.
2,657 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how women in the New Testament are presented in a positive light with Jesus and how women are seen as individuals who can comprehend the teaching of Jesus. It looks at how Jesus disregards the way he was supposed to treat women as society dictated and how instead he saw them as simply human beings, setting an example for his followers and the rest of the Christian church. It shows how the life of Mary Magdalene clearly illustrates that women were to be seen, treated and spoken to as equal individuals and how her life and time with Jesus and his disciples demonstrate the beginning of social change for women.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the strongest example we have of how to treat women is through Jesus himself. Although Jesus did not specifically explain his teaching on women, how he treated them demonstrates his attitude toward them. His encounters with women seem to point to the fact that he expected them to maintain an equal footing in many situations, as did men. In fact, some of the most magnificent conversations were women. These conversations include that of Mary Magdalene and the Samaritan woman, and Martha. From Jesus, we can see how important it is to look beyond social class and race to find the real person. Such thinking was unusual for the society at this time, but Jesus, the disciples, and the women who followed Jesus obviously never experienced any problems with females functioning as active members of their group?in fact, they were probably helpful and even necessary in some circumstances."

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, £ 31.95
»
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."
