By Rameshwar Yadav "I am the resurrection and the life"-John 11:25 "To Know Christ and the Power of His Resurrection"-Philippians 3:10 "You have brought eternal victory to his resurrection Jesus came to give us this victory today"-Corus 1 The words of Christ quoted above, the truths taught by the Holy Spirit by Paul, and the chorus written by the leaders of our own Nepali church illustrate the importance and necessity of Christ's resurrection. For us and for generations to come, the "resurrection of Christ from the dead" is a mysterious, historical, and religious fact that has been easily believed and disbelieved throughout history. His resurrection is unknown to most people. But it is very important for the Christian life because it gives us the basis to stand before God. At the same time, our new and changed lives stand on it. Resurrection and life Christ has linked the resurrection to life. He revealed this fact before he raised Lazarus from the dead, and this is confirmed by the life of Lazarus. Jesus has revealed to himself both resurrection and life. This means that Christ Himself is the resurrection and the life. For this, we, the people of God who believe in Him, do not need to go anywhere and look for it.

The Pentateuch, including the first five books Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy of the Old Testament reveals a profound narrative of a model of true religion and a persistent call to reformation in the midst of distinct cultural and religious landscapes. Initiated after the fall of the first man, and woman and the destruction of all living beings by the great flood, the divine journey began with the call of Abraham and his wife, aiming not merely at the formation of a nation but the creation of a unique community exclusively devoted to the worship of the one true and living God. Despite divine revelations and imparted wisdom, humanity's persistent sinful tendencies presented a stark reality. The Pentateuch, summarizing both the promise of renewal and the struggle of humanity to grasp divine truth, stands as a timeless model for reformation. This article conducts an exhaustive analysis, exploring the intricate interplay of historical context, literary style, and theological themes within the Pentateuch, emphasizing its enduring impact on religious thought and cultural heritage.

Feminism is the most popular, plural, and persuasive movement today because people have been recognizing it as an effort for women's rights and women's human rights globally. Praise God for this beautiful campaign that has made tremendous progress for feminism in the areas of political and social changes because He allowed flourishing it. It came into existence with a robust hope to emancipate mankind especially women from the sorrows, pains, and tyranny of patriarchy. In other words, feminists declare feminism as the means of peace, bliss, and harmony to save the individual woman, women's society, and the world from corruption, destruction, and violence. Thus, feminism conveys a positive meaning to me. I see this effort as the movement to eradicate every kind of discrimination, injustice, and violence against women who are the image bears of God as men. Also, half of the population of this universe are women who need freedom, rights, and opportunities to make humanity beautiful. Otherwise, humanity loses its half-face. Women make every house and the life of every man too. Thus, we must value them and their roles in society. But it is not yet.

The creation account in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Genesis, has been a focal point for theological reflection, historical inquiry, and philosophical debate for millennia. This article explores the biblical creation narrative from multiple perspectives: biblical, theological, historical, philosophical, and scientific. It compares the biblical account with other religious traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and scientific creation theories. By examining the philosophical coherence, theological depth, historical context, and compatibility with modern scientific understandings, this paper argues that the biblical creation account presents a more rational and appropriate framework for understanding the origins of the universe when compared to other creation myths and scientific models.

Abstract
The Book of Genesis, as the opening text of the Hebrew Bible, serves not only as the foundational narrative for the Judeo-Christian religious traditions but also as a complex work of ancient literature. This paper explores the structure, themes, and theological underpinnings of Genesis, examining its role in shaping both ancient Israelite identity and later theological traditions. Particular attention is paid to the themes of creation, the nature of God, human agency, and the covenantal relationship between God and humanity.

This paper explores four-fold aspects of the pastoral ministry and Christian ministry within the context of the Nepali church today. Thought the pastors must go through the multifaceted roles, this paper highlights their personal leadership, spiritual preparation, and their essential connection with family, church, and society for God's glory. We know that the pastors are examined as a spiritual leader, guide, and mediator within the Christian community, responsible for teaching, counseling, and serving the family, the church (the family of God) and the broader society as the social force for God's Glory. Firstly, this paper discusses the preparation process, including theological education, personal devotion, and mentorship alongside the importance of balancing personal and familial responsibilities to ensure overall well-being. The personal qualities required of pastors includes such as integrity, compassion, humility, emotional stability and resilience, while addressing the biblical, educational, and spiritual qualifications foundational to effective ministry. Secondly, the paper also emphasizes the interconnectedness between pastors' family life and their ministry, discussing how the pastors' ability to lead his own household impacts church leadership and long-term effectiveness. It considers the roles of the pastors' wife and children, and the importance of a healthy, well-balanced family life for sustaining ministry. Thirdly, the article explores the responsibilities of both the pastor and the congregation in fostering a vibrant church community, emphasizing mutual participation, respect, and collaboration for kingdom growth. Finally, it also outlines the pastor's mission in engaging the community through outreach, evangelism, and service, while navigating the challenges of cultural resistance, persecution, and emotio nal burnout. Strategies for managing these challenges, such as conflict resolution and balancing ministry with personal life, are discussed with a focus on long-term spiritual renewal. In sum, the article underscores the vital role of the pastor in serving both the church and society, emphasizing that the success of ministry depends on the combined efforts of pastors and congregations working together to glorify God and advance His kingdom through holistic and historic service and faithful partnership.

The study examines the perceptions of pre-service English teachers regarding linguistic landscape (LL) in relation to ELT classroom. It aims to find out the implications of linguistic landscapes (LLs) for pedagogical purpose in the context of Nepal. LL refers to the visibility of language in public places. Being based on qualitative research, semi-structured interview was taken with pre-service English teachers. The study showed that various language skills and aspects can successfully and meaningfully be taught through different LLs. The study also showed that semantics, pragmatics, translation, different cultural aspects, multiple languages, creative use of language, code mixing, language errors, etc can also be effectively taught using LLs as teaching material in ELT classroom. However, the study shows that the teacher must be selective while using LLs as teaching materials in the classroom as students' backgrounds (culture, language, level) should be kept in mind by the teacher. LLs are the tools to teach the gap between classroom language and the languages used in real fields.

It is now universally believed that mentality of the individual is inevitable to be present in the way of thinking and doing which drives the person for the particular, especially, negative attitude and vehaviour. Such behaviour is studied under psychoanalytic theory which sees literature giving focus on the author who generally writes to gratify secretly some 'forbidden wish' and it is known as 'psychobiography'; on the characters to study their motivations, impressions and responses psychologically; on the text to language and symbols for exploring wishes, repressed desire and inner reality. The behaviours of the characters might be seen irrational, fearful, infuriating, lustful, tempted, and unexpected and so on. Defenses operate in the mind of the characters which generally do not allow realizing repressed desire and the text's language supports it. The characters whirl in the chain of fears, dreams, thanatos, regression, sexuality, libido, romanticisation, object petit a, illusion, conflict and so on. This mental turmoil is focused on psychoanalytic theory of literary criticism.
