- 3871: The Essenes of Qumran
- ... God" (John 6:28) which is in the Manual of Discipline (IV, 4)" (Helicon, 109). Also, there are many aspects of St. Paul's writings that are common to the Essene beliefs. "There is a personal sense of sin, much more than in the Old Testament: "Man is steeped in sin from birth; justice and righteousness belongeth not to him" (DST IV, 25-27).

This notion, original in relation to the Old Testament, does not stem from Pharisaism which ...
- 3872: Leonardo Da Vinci
- ... and in whatsoever power there may be” (Wallace 59). The notebooks of Leonardo contain sketches and plans for inventions that came into existence almost five-hundred years after the Renaissance. Leonardo practiced a technique of writing backwards. It has been postulated that he did this, being left-handed, so that he wouldn’t smear the ink by his left hand running across newly-written words. Moreover, the individual words are spelled backwards. In order to read the Notebooks one must hold the pages up to a mirror and it is believed by some that Leonardo did this to keep his writing and theories secret. In any event, contained in the Notebooks are plans and drawings for what we recognize today as the first working propeller, a submarine, a helicopter, a tank, parachutes, the cannon, perpetual motion ...

- ... his own stupidity he did not take. Lastly, after Caesar's death the Romans were enraged to revenge him at the sight of his body and out of their love for him, in Plutarch's writing. In Shakespeare's the Roman were enraged but quelled by Brutus' speech and enraged again by Antony's. This showing the Roman to be mindless, moved only by a good speech and not by their feelings for Caesar. This again showing Plutarch's writing to be more sympathetic to Caesar than Shakespear's.

The concept of the covenant develops throughout the Biblical text, as God's dealings with mankind become more personal and unique.

- 3877: Julius Ceaser: Character Analysis of Marcus Brutus
- ... this shows how Brutus loved Caesar but cared for the life of Rome and its people more. This is the only reason Brutus would conspire against Caesar. For Brutus says to himself, "I know no personal cause to spurn at him…How that might change his nature…"(act 2, scene1, ll. 1,13) Caesar's relationship with Brutus is also strong. Just allowing Brutus to speak to Caesar shows his respect for Brutus. Caesar feels that Brutus is noble to him and does the right thing regardless of personal danger. On the Ides of March, as Caesar was assassinated, Caesar's last line is: "Et tu, Brute?--Then fall, Caesar."(act 3, scene 1, l.85). This shows that Caesar would not die without ...

- 3879: King Lear
- King Lear, by William Shakespeare, is a tragic tale of filial conflict, personal transformation, and loss. The story revolves around the King who foolishly alienates his only truly devoted daughter and realizes too late the true nature of his other two daughters. A major subplot involves the illegitimate ... Cordelia maintains throughout the play, and the sheer evil that Edmund displays until his plans are in ruins. In Lear we see a flawed figure who by misfortune and loss finally comes to revelation and personal transformation. In that sense, these characters are perfect tragic figures, perhaps not necessarily realistic but powerful and moving nonetheless.
- 3880: Hosea
- ... because of her crimes against God (2:2) (p. 21). Wood (1975) concludes, “She (Israel) was guilty because she credited her blessings to Baal, not to Jehovah God (p. 31). The comparison of Hosea's personal life with that of the nation Israel's spiritual life is evident throughout the entire book of Hosea. “This verse summarizes the case against Israel as seen in the first two chapters and now relates the whole to Hosea's own personal experience with Gomer as a fit comparison for teaching purposes" (Hos.3:1) Scott, 1975, p. 30). “Religious failures had corroded the national character. The unifying covenant of Sinai had long since been forgotten in ...
