Jesus (8–2 BC/BCE — 29–36 AD/CE),[1] also known as Jesus of Nazareth, is the central figure of Christianity. He is commonly referred to as Jesus Christ, where “Christ” is a Greek-derived title meaning “Anointed One”, which corresponds to the Hebrew-derived “Messiah”.

The main sources of information regarding Jesus’ life and teachings are the four canonical Gospels of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Most scholars in the fields of biblical studies and history agree that Jesus was a Jewish teacher from Galilee (then part of Iudaea) who was regarded as a healer, was baptized by John the Baptist, was accused of sedition against the Roman Empire, and on the orders of Roman Governor Pontius Pilate was sentenced to death by crucifixion.[2] As the Gospels were not written immediately after his death and there is little external documentation, a small minority of scholars question the historical existence of Jesus.[3]

Christian views of Jesus (an area of study known as Christology) are both diverse and complex. Most Christians are Trinitarian and believe that Jesus is simultaneously the Son of God and God made incarnate, sent to provide salvation and reconciliation with God by atoning for the sins of humanity. Nontrinitarian Christians adopt various other interpretations regarding the divinity of Jesus. Most Christians believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, crucified and buried in a tomb,[4] resurrected on the third day of death, and ascended into Heaven where he resides with God the Father until the Second Coming. Most Christians also believe that Jesus performed miracles and fulfilled biblical prophecy.

Jesus Christ is the way the truth and life he who believes in him shall not perish but have everylasting life.

was a German composer and pianist. He is widely regarded as one of history’s greatest composers, and was the predominant figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music. His reputation and genius have inspired—and in many cases intimidated—ensuing generations of composers, musicians, and audiences.

Born in Bonn, Germany, he moved to Vienna, Austria, in his early twenties, and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. In his late twenties he began to lose his hearing, and yet continued to produce notable masterpieces throughout his life in the face of this personal disaster. Beethoven was one of the first composers who worked as a freelance – arranging subscription concerts, selling his compositions to publishers and gaining financial support from a number of wealthy patrons – rather than being permanently employed by the Church or by an aristocratic court.

Among my favorite works include “Moonlight Sonata”, “Eroica” and many more.

“It still strikes me as strange that the case histories I write should read like short stories and that, as one might say, they lack the serious stamp of science.”

—Sigmund Freud, 1895

Rembrandt was an amazing painter. After studying some of his works in college I have found a new love for many of his paintings. Check them out at:

Sylvia Plath was an amazing writer. Her book “The Bell Jar” was a masterpiece. I wish she was still alive to write more and that she could have been alive today to get help with anti-depressents/pychotics in order to continue her art. “Pursuit” is an awesome poem written by Plath as well.
