Answer the following questions as briefly as you can. 80% And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold , i bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord (Luke 2: 10-11) Question 1: "Christ" is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word "Messiah." What do these words mean? ----------------- Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is call Christ? They all say unto them, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude... (Mathew 27: 22-24a) Question 2: What does Pilate mean to say by washing his hands before the multitude? -------------- But the one thing I revelled in was play; and for this I was punished by men who after all were doing exactly the same things themselves. But the idling of men is called business; the idling of boys, though exactly alike, is punished by those same men: and no one pities either boy or men. ( Confessions I, viii) Question 3: If the idling men do not receive corporal punishment, why should anyone pity them? What's pitiable about them? ----------------- For I kept saying within myself: "Let it be now, let it be now," and by the mere words I had begun to move toward the resolution. I almost made it, yet I did not quite make it. But... I still shrank from dying untp death and living unto life. (Confessions VIII, xi) Question 4: What does Augustine mean by " dying unto death and living unto life" ? ---------------- The greater horn within that ancient flame began to sway and tremble, murmuring just like a fire that struggles in the wind; and then he waved his flame-tip back and forth as if it were a tongue that tried to speak, ( Inferno XXVI,85-89) Question 5: Ulysses is pictured as wrapped in a flame with its tips shaped like a tongue. Why is this image appropriate for the character of the well-known Homeric hero? ---------------- he took fast hold upon the shaggy flanks and then descended, down from tuft and tuft, between the tangled hair and icy crusts... "Hold tight," my master said-- he panted like a man exhausted-- "it is by such stairs that we must take our leave of so much evil" ( Inferno XXXIV,73-75; 82-84) Question 6: Why must Virgil and Dante "take leave of ...evil" by using Satan's body for stairs? --------------- Go then; but first wind a smooth rish around his waist and bathe his face, to wash away all of Hell's stains; ( Purgatorio I, 94b-96) Question 7: Why does Dante need "a smooth rush around his waist" before ascending the Mount of Purgatory? --------------- That circle-- which, begotten so, appeared in You as light reflected-- zhen my eyes had watched it with attention for some time, within itself and colored like itself, to me seemed painted with our effigy (image), (Paradiso XXXIII,127-131) Question 8: Why does this (second) circle show a human image? ----------------- II Essay 20% Answer One of the following questions in a multi-paragraph essay or a long paragraph. 1. What does conversion mean to Augustine (Confessions VIII)? And what kind of conversion do we see at the end of the Inferno (Canto XXXIV)? --------- 2. Both Augustine and Dante compare the journey of their life to that of Prodigal Son. How are their journeys similar to the one recounted by Jesus in his famous parable (Luke 15)? -- the end -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.237.118
