Traditionally, they were bound to the land and a particular temple for worship. The traditions of the Jews were transforming from a land-based society to a more portable one that follow them to wherever they wandered. As Jesus’ ministry advanced and as crowds gathered to hear his words, he taught them on parables, such as the one examined in this paper. These were short stories from everyday events with a deeper, spiritual meaning. By speaking in parables Jesus prevented his enemies from directly accusing him of false teaching and challenging his ministry.

These particular views reflect many aspects of Egypt's culture. In their creation myths, divine power was not just responsible for the physical creation of the world but also for maintaining balance in the cosmos. Their gods each played a specific role in keeping the harmony, and each deity contributed to the function of the world. Aaron Leitch’s essay “Egyptian Myth: The Creation Epic” provides a mythological account of the Egyptian belief in the world of creation. It begins with the creation and emergence of the Ogdoad, a group of eight different deities, each representing various aspects of creation.

Ishtar, as stated before, is the goddess of love and war; Ea, the god of water and the arts; Shamash, the god of the sun and his wife; the goddess of the moon. The Gilgamesh Epic compares to the Homeric epics.

However, it is only with genuine care for the wellbeing of the people that Jeremiah is willing to voice warnings from God; after all, if he had not cared, it would not be rational to involve himself in their affairs. On the other hand, Zwingli's thoughts were heavily supported by the people but were directed towards the betterment of the Church. Zwingli's alienation is better described as a mental state that distance him away from the Catholic Church to allow him to criticize its practice. While Zwingli's motivations for his criticism is more multifaceted (e.g., inspiration from Luther, devotion to the Word of God), he echoes Jeremiah in launching an argument against something he cares immensely about: the Church. In a grander scale, Jeremiah and Zwingli have the same goal but appear be

In the beginning of Tablet VI, I am reminded of Christianity given that this poem explains the Babylonian belief of how humankind was created, likewise to the Biblical explanation of the creation of man. Of course, there are differences between the Babylonian and Hebrew beliefs along with similarities. For example, the Babylonian belief states humankind was created from the blood of Qingu, the leader of the Anunna-gods who was sacrificed. As a result of this sacrifice, Ea, a god, caused bones to be, and used Qingu’s blood to make a human being which he named ‘Man’. On the other hand, the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible states in Genesis, “Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the gods are depicted as harsh and wrathful because they decide to wipe out the human race with a flood just because they make too much noise (Ward p.20). The gods’ destructive nature is likely based off the chaos caused by flooding from the Tigris and Euphrates.
