Genealogy

During the late 19th century, Friedrich Nietzsche examined the history of morals in his Genealogy of Morals. In his work, Nietzsche reveals the origin of morality, and he goes further to tear down the basis of Christianity and Kant’s Moral Law to show that there is a plurality of conflicting morals in society. Max Weber, who was a philosopher greatly influenced by Nietzsche, writes further on the plurality declaring that there is a polytheism that is the result of many conflicting values. Weber concludes

Matthew is Jesus’s genealogy. The main purpose of Matthew’s genealogy was to point out that Jesus was of David through Joseph, although Joseph is not the biological father of Jesus. Another purpose of Matthew’s genealogy was to point out the power of the Holy Spirit in creating Jesus’ conception. The abnormal conception strengthens that Jesus was of God. Through Joseph, Jesus is of Davidic descent. Through Mary, he is begotten as Son of God.

The Genealogy of Morals Friedrich Nietzsche, born in 1844, was a German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, and Latin and Greek scholar who has greatly influenced Western philosophy and modern intellectual history. He was well known for his writings because of their attacks on society. Nietzsche’s writings have influenced many authors and philosophers. The Genealogy of Morals consists of a preface and three essays interrelated. These essays are used to get Nietzsche’s point across that morality in

In the Gospel of Matthew, the infancy narrative contributes a large sum of background information of Jesus that contributes to the development of Matthew’s Christology. In order to analyze how Matthew develops the Christology, we have to cut the infancy narrative into sections. This paper will discuss background information of the writing of this Gospel, literary elements of Jesus’ miraculous conception that reinforce his Jewishness, how Magi and literary devices help to understand Matthew’s Christology

Luke are an example of the well-rounded and diverse narration of the birth story of Jesus—Matthew’s narration spoke to the history of the Jewish people and Luke presented to the citizen of Rome. In the Gospel of Matthew, the focus on the Jewish genealogy of Jesus played a significant role in the birth story. To fully understand Jesus, it was imperative to first acknowledge who Jesus was within Jewish ancestry and his subsequent position as King of the Jews. Jewish tradition passed down the oral

As part of my Christian Ethics class, I volunteered in St. Joseph Home Care for three hours. It’s an organization led by Ukrainian nuns and they have been for years now. The Home Care is mainly filled with elders and primarily are Ukrainians or Canadians. During the time I volunteered, I learned many things about myself and others. Also, I experienced new things that influenced me. My best experience was when I met an old man named Peter. I remember Peter as a funny and cool person. Peter was probably

1929 "At San Diego, California, there is a small piece of land, on which, in the year 1929 there was built a house, which is called and known as Beth Sarim. The Hebrew words Beth Sarim mean 'House of the Princes'; and the purpose of acquiring that property and building the house was that there are those on earth today who fully believe in God and Christ Jesus and in His Kingdom, and who believe that the faithful men of old will soon be resurrected by the Lord, be back on earth, and take charge of

Why the genealogy of Jesus is so different in Matthew and Luke? Lineage of Jesus had mentioned twice in the New Testament, Matthew 1 and Luke 3: 23-38. In Matthew, the genealogy of Jesus can traced back to Abraham and in Luke, Jesus traced back to Adam. However, we still have reason to believe that, Matthew and Luke are completely different lineages. For example, Matthew indicated that, Jacob is Joseph's father (Matthew 1:16), while Luke indicated that, Heli is Joseph's father (Luke 3:23). Therefore

my research over the years. It can be a well-worn process which leaves you with a feeling of immense satisfaction or it can be a nightmare that wakes you up in the middle of the night, running for your research notes to make sure the copy of the genealogy you sent to cousin Myrtle included notes on the “exhaustive search” you made on your undesirable Uncle Willy. To make sure I don’t set myself up for a fall, I like to include a checklist for research (whether I am doing it for myself, or a client)

In contemplating my own beliefs of what is sought as “good” and what is “bad,” I chose to expand my ideas and compare them to Friedrich Nietzsche’s first essay in “On the Genealogy of Morals.” Nietzsche first debunks the ideas of Nietzsche sees two types of morality at play creating these original definitions of good bad and evil, master morality and slave morality. I will also use Nietzsche’s concept of “will to power” to evaluate each of these ideas. Nietzsche believes that the will to power
