- 251: Text and Traditions: Work Requirement One Historical Reconstruction
- ... the lands of Asia. This goal was quickly accomplished by Paul. He was then returned to Greece to help secure the faith there. It was in the years that followed that he wrote several telling letters. This letters were to become a crucial part of the Christian faith in years to come. Judas Iscariot Judas was a member of the 12 disciples, and was the one who betrayed Jesus, which ended in his ...
- 252: Carol Causs
- ... a bricklayer. Despite the hard living conditions, Gauss's brilliance shone through at a young age. At the age of only two years, the young Carl gradually learned from his parents how to pronounce the letters of the alphabet. Carl then set to teaching himself how to read by sounding out the combinations of the letters. Around the time that Carl was teaching himself to read aloud, he also taught himself the meanings of number symbols and learned to do arithmetical calculations. When Carl Gauss reached the age of seven, he ...
- 253: Bodily Resurrection and 1 Corinthians 15: 42-54
- ... spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body."(15:44). In verses 45-49 Paul refers to both passages from the Old Testament and also some of his other letters in order to explain the different domains of the two Adams. Believing in an actually historic Adam, in verse 45 Paul writes "Thus it is written, "The first Adam became a living being; the last ... 22). The idea that the presence of death can be destroyed and that man can gain eternal life through the grace given by Jesus Christ (who is considered the second Adam) is congruent with other letters written by Paul. In Romans 5:21 Paul writes, "...so that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord ...
- 254: Arianism
- ... God and was God, by Whom all things were made. A similar doctrine is laid down by St. Paul, in his undoubtedly genuine Epistles to the Ephesians, Colossians, and Philippians. It is reiterated in the Letters of Ignatius, and accounts for Pliny's observation that Christians in their assemblies chanted a hymn to Christ as God. But the question how the Son was related to the Father (Himself acknowledged on all ... was quoted by Innocent I in his correspondence with the bishops of Africa. Having won over Constans, who warmly took up his cause, the invincible Athanasius received from his Oriental and Semi-Arian sovereign three letters commanding, and at length entreating his return to Alexandria (349). The factious bishops, Ursacius and Valens, retracted their charges against him in the hands of Pope Julius; and as he travelled home, by way of ...
- 255: A Look At Public Key Encryptio
- ... Encryption does not have to be complex; the Captain Video Decoder Rings that we had as children used encryption. You'd encode your secret message, such as "Meet me by the swings," by replacing the letters of the alphabet with substitute letters from a certain number of places away. For example, let's say we decide to use the key "+4." That would mean we'd switch each letter in our message with the letter that comes ...
- 256: Philosophy - Davide Hume
- ... returned to Britain. Hume settled down to a life of literary work, mainly residing in Edinburgh. During this time his reputation slowly grew until he became acknowledged as one of Britain's principal men of letters. In 1763 he was appointed Secretary to the Embassy and later chargè d'affaires in Paris, and during this period enjoyed unprecedented fame and adulation as one of the principal architects of the Enlightment. In ... labels Roman Catholicism a superstition which "like all other species of superstition... rouses the vain fears of unhappy mortals." The most vocal attack against Hume's History came from Daniel MacQueen in his 300 page Letters on Mr. Hume's History. MacQueen combs through Hume's first volume of the History, exposing all the allegedly "loose and irreligious sneers" Hume makes against Christianity. Ultimately, this negative response led Hume to delete ...
- 257: John Dryden
- ... Cunningham 2 attended Cambridge University (Hopkins 14). While attending Cambridge University, he excelled to the top of his class and was a standout student. John Dryden was the greatest and most represented English man of letters of the last quarter of the seventeenth century. From the death of Milton in 1674 to his own in 1700, no other writer can compare with him in versatility and power (Sherwood 39). He was ... are more educated, but he gives the views which engage him at the moment (McHenry 39). Criticism of Dryden in the half-century following his death is sparse, and contributions from the major men of letters are disappointingly casual and undeveloped. However, most likely the best criticism of Dryden during the period after his demise comes from "Dennis, Congerer, and Garth." There is passion as well as admiration in Dennis's ...
- 258: I Knew a Woman: An Analysis
- ... of the second stanza, the letter "t" is used significantly: "stroked," "taught," "Turn," "Counter-turn," "Stand," and "Touch." The effect gained by using "t" is not as obvious or blatant as some of the other letters. Here, it provides a punch to the word, used, again, as emphasis. While the capitalization may seem to provide even more emphasis, here the "t" provides more of an emphasis because "Turn," "Counter-turn," and "Stand" are all poetic terms that are capitalized anyway, meaning they don't gain any significance. Again, the repetition of letters shows Roethke's playful obsession with this woman by drawing attention to these particular words. Closely connected to the alliteration in this poem is the diction. Roethke's decisions are sometimes plainly obvious, others require ...
