Essays on Timothy

First Thessalonians is Paul’s first letter to the church at Thessalonica which he himself founded. This letter was written while Paul was ministering to the church at Corinth in the accompaniment of Timothy and Silas (1 Thessalonians 1:1). It is not clear about exactly how long Paul spent with the Thessalonians before leaving, but scholarly parlances place this period at around three weeks or three months, subject to different scholars (BTM).

Religion has been a topic of debate for centuries. Religion is, in fact, one of the main arenas for wars, and it has been since the beginning of times. When one speaks about religion, it is not only about the spiritual sphere of the person that indeed is important and a holistic approach to education; this sphere has to be promoted for it to develop. The spiritual sphere of the person relates, but it is not equivalent to religion. The reason why I am making this distinction is that, from a Christian perspective, the spiritual sphere of the person ...

Introduction In order to understand the cultural practices of other people and our own without being affected by ethnocentrism, we can use the guideline of cultural relativism. Cultural relativism is about understanding the cultural practices of other cultures by examining them from the contexts of those who practice them. Similarly, we can understand our cultural practices better by examining them from the context of others or outsiders. Ethnocentrism pushes a person to perceive his/her culture as superior to others, making it difficult to understand other cultures. This also makes it difficult to understand another culture from an emic perspective ...

The employment practices in Timothy Reverson’s case can be characterized as; i) Rudimentary- Employees in this company seem disrespectful and don't seem to obey protocol or procedure as Timothy's case showed. This could be as a result of organizational culture and how to organization has been past. ii) Slow in growth- It seems that the company has grown very slowly over the years.
