Bible passages such as 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:22 and 1 John 3:5 witness that He [Jesus] did not give in to temptation, nor violate the moral standards of God, nor was He inconsistent with the nature of his character. That is, Jesus was sinless. It ... Berkouwer presents a logical and plausible argument given what we know about the development of the New Testament writings. The second argument Berkouwer presents is based on the story of the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. In Matthews account of this incident, John the Baptist recognizes the holiness of Christ and tries to avoid baptising Him.

- 324: John Updikess Pigeon Feather
- John Updike tells good stories in his new collection, "Pigeon Feathers." What's more -- or, rather, what helps to make them good -- is his conspicuous devotion to the perilous marksmanship of words. All readers are bound ... York, and always back to Pennsylvania. In general outline and under various names the characters are repeated as frequently as characters are repeated when you are reading the works, say, of J.D. Salinger or John P. Marquand. An iconoclastic schoolteacher father, an indomitable mother, an even more indomitable (if you will) grandmother, a dozing grandfather and a scholarly, slightly girl-shy young man who wants to write are in the ... of strength in his work, his inclination to write almost exclusively about the life of a young man from the small Pennsylvania town he usually calls Olinger that seems very like the Shillington, Pa., that John Updike remembers from his own boyhood.

- 325: John Donnes Holy Sonnets
- The Holy Sonnets By making many references to the Bible, John Donne s Holy Sonnets reveal his want to be accepted and forgiven by God. A fear of death without God s forgiveness of sins is conveyed in these sonnets. Donne expresses extreme anxiety and fright that Satan has taken over his soul and God won t forgive him for it or his sins. A central theme of healing and forgiveness imply that John Donne, however much he wrote about God and being holy, wasn t such a holy man all of the time and tried to make up for it in his writing. In sonnet 1, the speaker ... concerned with forgiveness of sins and being accepted by God. They each are like prayers, begging for God to hear them. After reading through and analyzing the Holy Sonnets, it is clear to me that John Donne had a great appreciation for God. He used his writing to express his love for God. In the Holy Sonnets, there are many allusions made to the Bible and references to Satan. By ...
- 326: The Use of Symbolism in "A Jury of Her Peers"
- ... society. Glaspell illustrates how this highly stereotypical role can create oppression for women and also bring harm to men as well. Character names are very important in A Jury of her Peers. The two characters, John and Minnie Wright, are the focus of the story. The name Minnie has significant symbolism. Minnie is derived from mini or minimized, which was very descriptive of her oppressed relationship with John and also the male insensitivity toward most women in society. Women taking their husband's last names is also very significant in the story. The women in the story are not given first names, and ... those terms. Mr. Peter, the county attorney, says "for that matter a sheriff's wife is married to the law"(glaspell 168). She reinforces that identity until she is faced with the brutality of what John Wright did to Minnie. She says "I know what stillness is. The law has got to punish Crime, Mrs. Hale"(glaspell 167). The difference is she is talking about the crime committed against Minnie, ...

- 328: A Critique Of Charlotte Gilman
- ... to disconnect from reality, which in turn, lead to her independence. Charlotte's husband, is the first element that drove her to disconnect from reality, which in turn, lead to her independence. Although well intentioned, John takes away what little power she has by regulating everything she does. Charlotte is presumed to be weak, unable to cope with normal activities. She is not even allowed to write, and says that, "he ... making her seem even more like a child and a prisoner. It is odd to note that, Charlotte, being the one for whom the vacation is taken, is not allowed to do what she wants. John, in his pragmatic reasoning, believes he has her best interest at heart and forbids her to work. Charlotte disagrees, and believes that, "congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good." He feels he is helping her by not giving her any responsibility, when in reality, her lack of control over her own life causes her to become even more ill. John literally drives her crazy by taking away her control and by doing so, pushes her to disconnect from reality into her fantasy world where she is in control. In the end, she steps over ...
- 329: Brave New World - The Conflict
- ... as Bernard feels in the New World. The Savage longs to be part of this world that he has seen through Linda's eyes. He leaps at the chance to go to the 'civilised' world - "John also laughed, but for another reason - laughed for pure joy. ... 'O brave new world that has such people in it. Let's start at once.'" Bernard's ominous warning sets the scene for what is going to come in the final confrontation between the Savage and Mustapha Mond. "'And, anyhow, hadn't you better wait till you actually see the new world?'" We can see from John's ideals before this (the strong belief in marrying 'for ever', the self-sacrificing nature where he sees that he must do something to be 'worthy' of the woman he loves, his desire to purify ... from what he sees as evil thoughts - but what the world sees as natural, and his fascination with Shakespeare) that he will never fit into the BNW. From there continues a series of steps where John becomes more disgusted with the world. This culminates when he sees Lenina for what she is - the 'perfect citizen'. She is promiscuous, attractive, good-natured but quite often under the influence of soma. She ...
- 330: Communication Skills And How T
- ... instead of having a group of students you had labels of a brain, a criminal, an athlete, a princess, and a basket case. As it turned out the brain was Brian Johnson, the criminal was John Bender, the athlete was Andrew Clark, the princess was Clare, and the basket case was Alicen. The reaction toward each other at 7am was not very receptive because at that time they all viewed each ... to be easy for her too. Brian viewed Clare as a scary nutcase. These were their initial views on each other. In order to understand the self-disclosure and self-concept ideas I concentrated on John Bender. John had a self-concept that was entirely to low for himself. He felt like no one cared about him, not even his own parents. Although his self-concept was very low he did everything ...
