Religious beliefs observed in Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight The meaning of religious beliefs in the tales of Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, describes different roles in each history. While it was clear that God was highly favored and worshiped in each of these accounts, the abundance of praise to Him was very different. Both Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight are written to believe in God and His mighty works and miracles. In this passage, the significance of religious beliefs in these tales is explained by presenting how Beowulf and the characters of his time praised the Lord for all his works, even those involving evil deeds, Sir Gawain praised the Lord for blessings and strength. instead of his unfortunate moments, and how each character was destined to become more Christ-like, living their life as a hero and God-like. In the tale of Beowulf, he acknowledged his strong faith in God, regardless of the situation. The story describes, repeatedly, how God is in every situation the characters have embarked upon, as described in this statement, "the Heavenly Shepherd can work HIS wonders anytime and anywhere" (pp.51, 929). The author explains indiscriminately by saying: "The Almighty Judge of good and bad deeds." (pp.36, ln.180) Even when they were faced with the evil of Grendel and the monsters, who in this story was considered Satan, who is explained as "the offspring of Cain, whom the Creator had banished and condemned as an outcast" (pp.35, ln.106). Regardless of the situation, God has been recognized as a miracle worker, a judge, or even just to praise Him for punishing evildoers and for rewarding and protecting those who try to help others. However, in Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, I noticed that the religious beliefs were not as overt, yet they were present, as in this statement that says "Honor God humbly at the high altar" (pp170.594). Praising the Lord was used to pray for protection before a fight or for any blessing bestowed upon him by God or his people. Sir Gawain was continually blessed for his protection, as when the king "gives him the blessing of God, and prays kindly that his heart and hand may both be strong" (pp.166, ln.370), or when the Green Knight states: "Sir Gawain, by God, I rejoice that thy fist fetishizes this favor which I seek" (pp.
