Beowulf fought hard in their last battles with evil and although they both ultimately died in their final battle, they both were able to overcome the evil before they died. Other more apparent influences of Christianity was the reference of Hrothgar’s throne being holy. “... he never dared to touch king Hrothgar’s...throne, protected by God-God, whose love Grendel could not know.”(Beowulf, lines 82-85).

- 226: Why Was Jesus Executed
- ... utter- are you the Christ, The Son of the Blessed? -is precisely the Christian confession. Jesus is the Christ, he is the Son of God; and so he is presented here, in effect dying for Christianity. It seems to me, and this is personal opinion based on evidence presented, that the only things the Romans did directly, was the crucifixion. He was betrayed by a Jew, tried by the Jews, and ... believe that it was a political move. The crucifixion of Jesus satisfied both the Jews and the Romans, but ultimately, through their own action, they helped propel Jesus into an idol, and also helped propel Christianity into one of the fastest growing and now largest religions of the world, exactly what they sought to prevent.

- 228: The Sir Thomas More Circle
- ... of the educational curriculum; and for models of rhetoric they turned (as Petrarch had before them) to the classics, and especially to Cicero. But this return to the classics was not a turn away from Christianity; rather it was an attempt to find material with which to humanize what they took to be the essential Christian message. Rhetoric, the study of communication and persuasion, was always associated with eloquence, and eloquence, to a humanist, presupposed two things: (1) a noble style and (2) wisdom. Eloquence, then, was the outward beauty mark of inward wisdom. Christianity provided the major source of wisdom and imitation of Cicero provided the noble (beautiful) style. The impact of the humanists' program for reform was due in large part to their emphasis on rhetoric, and this ...
