Consider the information and videos we viewed on ancient roman gladiators versus modern american "gladiators." think mma, boxing, wwe wrestling, iron man challenge, and popular video games where violence is the main theme. in terms of:

entertainment,
theatricality,
popularity,
grandeur,
a form of distraction ,
how does the business of roman gladiators compare to modern men and women who fight for a living?

discuss the socio-economic complexities of roman gladiators versus modern day fighters as mentioned in the module from this unit.

although modern gladiators do not fight to the death and are not slaves as the ancient gladiators did and were, how might death and slavery, in a real or metaphorical sense, still be an issue for those who fight for a living today?

Rist was baptized in the jordan river by john the baptist. baptism with water, practiced since the beginning of the church, represents admission into the christian community and is essential for salvation. "truly, truly, i say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of god." (john 3: 5) in christianity, baptism is a sign of “repentance and forgiveness of sins” (mark 1: 4) and the beginning of the life in christ within the church. christians are baptized in the name god: “father, and the son and the holy spirit” (matt. 28: 19). as well, through baptism christians associate with the death, burial and resurrection of jesus: “and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you […] by the resurrection of jesus christ.” (1 peter 3: 21)
