Projecting The Passion: The Invention Of The 'Judeo-Christian Tradition' In The Roman/Biblical Genre Of Postwar American Film, Don Michael Burrows

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

This paper traces the changes in the American view of the relationship between Jews and Christians from the First World War to the present as reflected in motion pictures from the earliest of the biblical epics to Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ. It demonstrates that the "Judea-Christian tradition " as it has developed since the Second World War is a political theme that functioned first as anti-fascist propaganda and then as anticommunist propaganda that portrayed Jews and Christians as good and free in contrast to Nazis and communists; and it shows what an effective medium the movies were in …

A Price Analysis For Inword, Adam Jacob Bellin

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

InWord, a small non-profit creator and publisher of Bible studies, is funded largely by private donations. While these donations have been quite substantial, InWord wants to use this money as wisely as possible, and try to increase revenues and decrease costs to hopefully move toward a breakeven position. InWord is currently covering all variable costs, but are struggling to pay their fixed costs.

InWord sells two types of studies, a smaller (7 or less units for studying) and a larger study (8 or more) at two different price points ($39 and $49 respectively). In addition, quantity discounts are offered. Using …

Popular Portrayal Versus Historical Evidence Concerning Mary Of Magdala, Robin Ann Yoerger

Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)

ln addition to scholarly sources, I will explore representations of Mary Magdalene in popular culture, such as artwork, drama, and secular literature, to see how these portrayals compare and contrast with those in the texts. It is important to explore these sources because many people today receive their information primarily from secular portrayals, not scholarly studies. As is especially true when misinformation is present, such as in The Da Vinci Code, a reader with no prior factual background on the subject can easily be misguided in his or her understanding of the topic. A:fter considering all these factors, we may …
