The Home Depot Introduction Retailing building supply stores have become a popular retail industry sector due to increased public awareness and the need of many homeowners for the home improvement products. Back in the 1970s, long before warehouse stores ruled home improvement land, do-it-yourselfers shopped at “home centers.” These 30,000 square foot stores offered cheaper prices and wider selection of products, about 25,000 more than local hardware stores and eliminated the extra trip to the

The Lucky Lepers of Luke Introduction: The Gospel of Luke, often called the loveliest book in the world, is the third of the four Gospels(Barclay p.g 6). Luke, unlike the other Gospel writers, was a Gentile and not a Jew. He was a doctor by trade and was a very kind and loving man.

It is also found in the non-canonical gospel of Thomas 107. It is about a shepherd who leaves his flock of ninety-nine sheep behind to go look

To understand the correlation or the relationship between the New Testament Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, biblical scholars argued with a Synoptic Problem. The synoptic relationship consists of the “Two-Source Hypothesis, Griesbach, and Farrer.

There are two key concepts that can be useful in this relationship of
