...University Mary, Mother of Jesus Transcript Submitted To Dr. William Joseph Subash NBST 515 By Lisa Tipton Centerville, OH May 4, 2014 Lesson 1 History and life of Mary Introduction We will look into the history and life of Mary Mother of Jesus. Mary’s background is a key to understanding her as the human mother of the Son of God. Luke 2:6 says, “And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.” Mary represented every human who needed deliverance. It was almost as if she carried the weight of the world while also carrying the salvation for that world. While many honor her and pray to her over praying to Christ, we will learn of the human side of Mary. I. History of Mary a. Came from the line of Nathan, son of David (Luke 3:31)Matt b.

...My Thoughts Regarding the Mary Barnett Case Amanda Feeley Westwood College Ethics and Critical Thinking Dr. Henderson 01 November 2010 My Thoughts Regarding the Mary Barnett Case There are a few reasons in why I have concluded that Mary Barnett is guilty for second-degree murder of her child, Alison. Those reasons include: awareness of right and wrong, selfishness, and neglect. First, I would like to recap the case of Mary Barnett and some of the main details of the crime that she committed. On January 23, the defendant, Mary Barnett, left Chicago to visit her fiancé in San Francisco. She left her six month old daughter, Alison, unattended in the apartment. Seven days later, Mary returned to her apartment to find her daughter dead, she died from dehydration. Mary called the police and told them that she had left the child with a baby sitter, but later changed her story and said that she knew Alison would die in a day or two, and that she did not intend on returning home. She was charged with second-degree murder: intentional murder without premeditation. If convicted, she could face up to eighteen years in prison (Chaffee, 2009, p. 65). Next, are the key testimonies of the witnesses that spoke against and on Mary’s behalf during her trial. The witnesses and their testimonies played a key part in my decision of a guilty, verdict, of Mary’s actions. Mary was mentally evaluated by two different psychiatrists; one was her own personal...

...There has been archaeological ties between Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ discovered that could aid as evidence for the theorist’s cause. In 1980 near Jerusalem, archaeologists found six inscribed coffins in a 2000-year old tomb. This places Jesus, the mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and their son all in one tomb, much like a family. The problem with this discovery is that there are no DNA samples from Jesus or Mary, so we can not prove that the corpses in those coffins are in fact Jesus and Mary. Furthermore, paternity or maternity tests can not be done to prove that Jesus and Mary were indeed the parents to their “son” Judah. Scholars also seem to believe that this tomb is home to a Jesus that is not the biblical savior. This could be true, but no one could know for certain without DNA testing....

...The Struggle: Mary Rowlandson’s Story of Survival “All was gone, my husband gone..., my children gone, my relations and friends gone, our house and home, and all our comforts within door and without, all was gone except my life and I knew not but the next moment might go too.”(Edmund, 19) These were the words of Mary Rowlandson, a woman taken into captivity after Native Americans raided her colony, tortured and murdered the people of the land, and took Mary and a few others and turned them into slaves. Mary’s life was spared because she possessed the skill of sewing, and often sewed and knitted the Indians clothing. During her captivity she analyzed the way the Native Americans socialized and lived their everyday lives. The two worlds were polar opposites, and the way Native American women were treated was much different to the beliefs of Puritan ideology. Indian women even led army groups as large as 300 people; they were considered very strong. The women considered Mary to be weak, and treated her as such. In the Puritan world woman’s power was non-existent, and believes the women were around to serve the man, and their opinions and thoughts were not valued. “It was a solemn sight to see so many Christians lying in their blood, some here and some there, like a company of sheep torn by wolves. All of them striped naked by a company of hell-hounds, roaring, singing, ranting, and insulting, as if they would have torn our hearts out.”(Rowlandson, 9-10) While many of her townspeople...

...very outspoken one may I add. She was also a supporter of Anne Hutchinson, a very prominent woman in America back then. She was hung for defying a Puritan law which banned Quakers from the colonies. This woman’s name was Mary Dyer. Not much is known of Mary Barrett Dyer’s early life. On October 27th, 1663 the first known history of Mary Dyer was noted. She married William Dyer, a very successful merchant, in London. William and Mary added on to the family by giving birth to six children. In 1635 they all migrated to the Massachusetts Bay colony where they had been accepted as members of the Church of Boston. They both realized they found themselves in a place full of controversy involving antinomianism which is holding under the Gospel that moral law is not useful for salvation because faith alone can only accomplish this. Another Quaker woman in Boston, Anne Hutchinson held regular religious meetings at her house where William and Mary often attended. In 1652 Mary and her husband traveled to England where they remained for five long years. This was when she became a Quaker. She had then returned to Boston to spread the message of the Quakers but was sadly imprisoned. Luckily her husband, since he had not adopted the Quakers customs was able to set her free. Mary dyer was a woman who fought for what she believed in. She was executed almost multiple times. She had two companions when she returned to Massachusetts after being expelled. They were William Robinson and Marmaduke Stephenson...

...Mary and Max It is 1976, an 8-year-old Mary Daisy Dinkle (Bethany Whitmore) is a lonely little girl living in Mount Waverley, Melbourne, Australia. Her relatively poor family cannot afford to buy her toys or nice clothing, and she is teased by children at her school due to an unfortunate birthmark on her forehead. Her father is distant and her alcoholic, kleptomaniac mother provides no support. The closest thing she has to a friend is the man for whom Mary collects mail, Len Hislop, a World War II veteran who lost his legs as a prisoner of war and has developed agoraphobia. One day, she decides to write a letter to someone living in New York City: by pure chance she chooses Max Jerry Horowitz (Philip Seymour Hoffman) from a telephone directory. Max turns out to be a morbidly obese 44-year-old whose various mental problems (including anxiety attacks and overeating) have left him unable to form close bonds with other people. Max decides to write back to Mary, and the two become friends. Over time, Mary's increasingly sensitive questions about the adult world give Max progressively worse anxiety attacks, and he is ultimately institutionalized. During his time there, Max is diagnosed with depression and Asperger syndrome. Now aware of why he has difficulty relating to other people, Max finds a new lease on life and resumes his correspondence with Mary. The two remain friends for the next two decades, keeping one another updated on various events in their lives. Mary (Toni Colette)...

...Art History Mary Cassatt: The Impressionist Painter Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker. She lived much of her adult life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas and later presented among the Impressionists. She often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children. Although she painted for the majority of her life, the paintings she painted later in life are her most well known pieces: These paintings documented the private lives of women and often children. Cassatt was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania on May 22, 1844. Her father was a successful stockbroker and land speculator and her mother came from a banking family. Mary was one of seven children in her family, two of her siblings died in infancy. Mary traveled many places as a young girl, including parts of Europe. Her family moved from Allegheny City, to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and then to the Philadelphia area when she was six years old. When she traveled to Europe, she took art classes and found a passion for painting and drawing. Her family objected her thoughts of becoming a professional artist and ridiculed her for even considering painting as a career. Mary’s parents may have been concerned that she may develop the feminist thinking that many female artists had at that time. However, at the age of fifteen, Mary decided to start taking classes at a Pennsylvania school for art. She was only one...

...Mary Wollstonecraft This article is based on an interview with Mary Wollstonecraft. The questions are based on “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” Is it the law of nature that men have more rights than women? Fact is that men is physical stronger than women. Mary Wollstonecraft an English writer, philosopher, and advocate of women's rights. Wollstonecraft admits that there is a difference between the sexes, but criticizes the conclusion that men are above women. What is the message of the book? In our time the women mind are not in a healthy state. You can compare them to flowers. They have to beautiful just like a flower. A flower can be weak under the wrong conditions and break. Under the right conditions they can handle some real challenges and grow. Which challenges are you referring to? First and foremost the whole education system. Women are educated to be a good wife. They learn how to play piano and draw instead of read and calculate. What is your personal solution to all this? It is very important for women to find a husband, because they depend heavily on men financially. I want to encourage all women to make a stand, get an education and through that be strong and independent. As regards the men, I request them to be more chaste and modest, and women to grow wiser. Let there be focus in the individual, the freedom to speak your mind and to be yourself. I suggest that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and I imagine...

...“Proud Mary” is a 60x48 portrait piece done by Thedra Cullar-Ledford and located in The Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, Texas. Using oil on canvas, Thedra is able to catch the eye of the viewer and emphasize certain things such as the small lump on the breast of the subject (she is naked and has the body of a plastic doll) and the toy gun the subject is holding. Additionally, she uses a wide range of browns to give the subject a rich skin tone and changes the value throughout to make it seem as though there is a spotlight on the subject. Artist Thedra Cullar-Ledford was born and raised in Abilene, Tx, but at age 16 emancipated herself from her family to attend Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts. She then went on to attend the California College of Arts where she got her MA in printmaking/sculpture, and later the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Arts where she received her BFA in painting. Thedra does not consider herself solely painter, but rather a conceptual artist who uses her painting skills “as a medium to talk about sexuality, race and body image in the lives of the women that she knows and studies.”...

...Think of a mother. Think of a warm hug during a cold night, or a kiss of comfort. Those were some of the things that Jesus received from his mother. What was it like for Mary to raise a child? Exclude the fact that the child was the Son of God. Instead, just for a moment, focus on the fact that he was her child and she was his mother. Mary was born after an angel announced her. She was raised as a Jew in Israel. Her father was Joachim, and her mother’s name was Anna. Mary was born after her mother and father prayed for her birth. Mary’s parents were very wealthy and righteous in their religion. When Joachim would give offerings to the Lord, he always gave double.
