The Roman Empire is Europe’s great creation myth. The great Mediterranean empire has left a great legacy of culture, language, conquest, art, and science in Europe and beyond. But everything decays with time, especially memory. Our archeological and historical understanding of the Roman Empire is limited. These gaps in knowledge, combined with popular misconceptions relating to culture, politics, race, technology, politics, and religion from the period, mean that any “period” piece is bound to be historically inaccurate.

Although, the transatlantic slave trade comes into mind when slavery is mentioned, the history of forced servitude is much broader. The Saqaliba were Slavs gathered in the Muslim world to work in differing ways, from servants to soldiers. This not only displays the interconnection of the slavery-centered, expanding world, but shows there was no singular way to make one a slave. For this reason, it's fair to say slavery existed all throughout history, often exemplified one’s status, and commonly utilized through manual labor.

John of Damascus argues in favor of Icons. He begins with a definition of images and worship. He argues that an image is a representation of “invisible and intangible things, on which they throw a faint light” (John of Damascus, 1). This definition is attractive, especially when applied to religious figures because it provides worshippers with a better understanding of God and His decrees. John argues that God permits images, such as the ark, the staff, and the tabernacle (2). John affirms, “I do not worship matter, I worship the God of matter, who became matter for my sake, and deigned to inhabit matter…” (2). According to John, God reduced himself to matter for worshippers to create visual representations of God. These images represent the

On March 4, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln promised the following, “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and for his orphan.” His promise means when veterans return from war we should care for them. If a soldier died, care for their widow and make sure they are alright. We should care and respect the people who fought in the war. Lincoln wanted us to know what these people have done for our country and for our protection. We need to care for them so they know we care for their well being.

Gluckel of Hameln, or Glikl bas Judah Leib, was a German Jewish woman born to a prominent trader and merchant, and a skilled business woman. Women in the seventeenth century worked voluntarily to help provide for their own families. Many German Jewish woman were expected to work and remain active, often with many different occupations throughout their life. Gluckel was vowed to Chayim Hameln at the age of twelve by her parents, and was married at the age of 14; somewhat uncommon with women in Northern Europe but not unheard of with moderately successful Jewish families. Gluckel assisted Chayim in his business ventures and often became a key figure in the operation. From an early age Gluckel was competent and determined; her potential

Ben Her is a film what is about forgiveness and hate. I will be reviewing the length of the movie and how that effects the movie and second Ill review how Jesus was shown in the movies. A brief overview of the movie is as follows. Messala and Judah (Ben Her) are brothers. But when messala leaves to fight for Rome things change between them. The reason behind this is because Rome and Jerusalem don't get along. After Messala returns, there is an accident and Judah takes blame. With this, he goes on a long, awful adventure. But he eventually finds the Sheik and things start to turn up. Lastly He then enters a chariot race that he will either win and stay alive, or die trying.

The nation of Israel was set apart as holy to the LORD. But they When the children of Israel demanded a king, they did so to be like the other nations. The first three kings were Saul, (outwardly tall, handsome and strong—a seemingly good choice for a king, but inwardly arrogant, proud and unrepentant—not God’s choice), David (a man after God’s own heart who repented of his sins and as such was God’s choice), and Solomon (the wisest man who ever lived, but because of covenant disobedience became the catalyst for the division and ultimate exile of Israel.

The inspiration for Bede’s reform program comes from a pattern that can be found in the book of Ezra-Nehemiah which can be conveniently divided into three sections. Each of these sections deals with a similar situation and issues: a return from exile which includes projects of restoration and reform. Today modern English translations of the Bible print the text of Ezra-Nehemiah as two distinct books. By having Ezra and Nehemiah as separate books was not always the way in which these texts were written; they were traditionally combined into one book in the Hebrew and Greek Bibles. However, by considering them as one document, it will help to make it much easier to understand the book in its three parts.

The plot idea pegs back to the beginning of the 1st century where a merchant and a rich Jewish prince, Judah Ben-Hur lives in Jerusalem. His old childhood friend, Messala arrives with the Governor as the Roman Legions serving commander Officer. The old friends are happy and enthusiastic to meet after a long time. However, their political views and ideals are different and hence separate them. At the governor’s welcome parade, a tile from Ben-Hur’s house accidentally falls down and injures the governor. Messala knows the innocence of Ben-Hur to the awful accident but decides to punish him and his family. Messala throws Ben-Hur’s sister and mother to prison whilst he is sent to the galleys. Ben-Hur swears that he was going to revenge and claim freedom for the people from the Roman rule (Wyke 19).

It is in this stage that Judah has his first brush with Jesus. While traveling to the galleys, Judah collapses from dehydration, but is saved when Jesus gives him some water. Judah goes on and remains a galley slave for some time before eventually working on the ship of Arrius. Arrius takes a liking to Judah because of his hard work and gives him more freedom in the galleys, even offering to get him out of the galleys and into a gladiator ring or chariot track. However, Judah does not want help and says that only God will help him get his revenge. This statement is not very Christian like, and is another example of Judah coming short during his journey to Christianity. During a battle against the Macedonians, the ship that Judah is on sinks. Judah takes quick action, not only saving other slaves by unchaining them, but also saving Arrius. Arrius was about to kill himself but is stopped by Judah. This is the first glimpse of Judah taking a step closer to Christianity. He saves everyone he can, regardless of who they are, which is a very Christian thing of him to
