Palm / Passion Sunday

The first Sunday of Holy Week, "Palm Sunday" or "Passion Sunday," points our attention to the stories of Jesus as he came into Jerusalem. This Sunday also provides an opportunity to remember the happenings of the week we may call Holy Week, where Christ died.

Parables

Parables as told by Jesus drew on familiar, everyday images and situations in order to convey less familiar truths about the kingdom of God, God's grace, and God's judgment.

Pilgrim

A pilgrim is a person on a journey (pilgrimage) to a holy place, life's true destination. While the word itself is not found in the Bible, the concept is woven into the biblical story as a whole. God's exodus deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt to the promised...

Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage may not be high on the list of spiritual practices for most Protestants, but the Bible points us to the spiritual value of holy places. The problem is that many Protestant traditions turned away from what might be called a sacramental view of the world — the idea that...

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act, intentional or unintentional, of presenting another's words or ideas as one's own. Plagiarism is a form of both theft (taking without permission) and dishonesty (bearing false witness about oneself). Even when unintended, plagiarism is a serious matter.
