A Scholarly Comparison Between Jesus Christ And Melchizedek.Pdf, Charles Sabo Feb 2018

A Scholarly Comparison Between Jesus Christ And Melchizedek.Pdf, Charles Sabo

Charles Sabo

In order to properly compare Jesus Christ to the Biblical Melchizedek, one needs to first investigate the historical person of Melchizedek. Because theologians only want to rely on the Bible for their theological perspectives, they fail to perform a proper exegesis of the biblical text, by not referring to the historical data available to them from reliable sources outside of the Bible. There are ancient history books available to review, in order to bring a more contextualized perspective; this can provide the proper hermeneutics for a more thorough and accurate interpretation of the Scriptures.

The Color Of Christ In Haiti, Elizabeth Mcalister Dec 2013

The Color Of Christ In Haiti, Elizabeth Mcalister

Elizabeth McAlister

Haiti is an officially Roman Catholic country, and the popular religion
of Vodou incorporates many Catholic elements. Why, then, is Jesus
Christ relatively deemphasized in both traditions, while Mary and
the countless saints and spirits have a greater presence in the religious
lives of most Haitians? This article delves into the Roman Catholic
and Kongolese Catholic history of Haiti to explore why Jesus Christ
is a relatively remote figure and why he is represented as white in a
Black-majority country.
