A sample biblical discourse is presented here for study, Paul's Letter to Philemon. Among the letters of St. Paul, there is one that is short, very personal and one that lends itself quite well as an illustration for our discussions on biblical discourse. I refer to the Letter to Philemon, a document that dates back to the latter years of Paul's missionary sorties around the Mediterranean.

Sampling Mark Part 2 (Mk 2:1-3:6): Encountering Jesus
The article is part two of our section in Sampling the Gospel of Mark. This one is a reading guide to Mark 2:1 - 3:6, a section that deals with Jesus' controversies with the leaders of this time. I call it "Encountering Jesus" because it is here where, by comparison and contrast, we get to know what Jesus stood for vis-a-vis the accepted religious and social standards of his times.

The Critical Angle of Attack
Near Death Experiences (NDEs) emphasize the imprtance of living life with unconditonal love in order to progress spiritually. In his own life the author has seen the importance of going beyond the vindictive "eye for an eye" justice mentioned in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. To grow as a human being, somehow, one must go beyond the "knee-jerk" response to give as good as you have received when hurt by another person. In this regard, the author finds the "trained response" that a pilot must learn in order to cope with a stall instructive.
