The Prolongation of Life in Early Modern English Literature and Culture, with Emphasis on Francis Bacon
THE PROLONGATION OF LIFE IN EARLY MODERN ENGLISH LITERATURE AND CULTURE, WITH EMPHASIS ON FRANCIS BACON ROGER MARCUS JACKSON A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Dr. Reid Barbour Dr. Mary Floyd-Wilson Dr. Darryl Gless Dr. James O‘Hara Dr. Jessica Wolfe ©2010 Roger Marcus Jackson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ROGER MARCUS JACKSON: The Prolongation of Life in Early Modern English Literature and Culture (Under the direction of Reid Barbour) Drawing upon early modern texts of poetry, theology, and natural philosophy written in England and the continent, this dissertation explores the intellectual traditions inherent in Renaissance discourses addressing the prolongation of life. It is organized around two nodal questions: Can life be prolonged? Should it be prolonged? The project hinges upon Francis Bacon (1561-1626), for whom the prolongation of life in the sense of a longer human lifespan serves as the loftiest goal of modern experimental science. Addressing the first question, Part One illustrates the texture and diversity of early modern theories of senescence and medical treatments against the ―disease‖ of old age promoted by Galen, Avicenna, medieval theologians, Jean Fernel, Marsilio Ficino, and Paracelsus. Part Two then demonstrates that Bacon‘s theory of senescence and corresponding therapies nevertheless differ from those of his predecessors and contemporaries in three regards: their attempt to isolate senescence from disease, their postulation of senescence as a process based on universal structures and actions of matter, and their deferral to further experiment for elucidation.

The Authority of Scripture: the Puzzle of the Genealogies of Jesus Mako A
The Authority of Scripture: The Puzzle of the Genealogies of Jesus Mako A. Nagasawa, June 2005 Four Main Differences in the Genealogies Provided by Matthew and Luke 1. Is Jesus descended through the line of Solomon (Mt) or the line of Nathan (Lk)? Or both? 2. Are there 27 people from David to Jesus (Mt) or 42 (Lk)? 3. Who was Joseph’s father? Jacob (Mt) or Heli (Lk)? 4. What is the lineage of Shealtiel and Zerubbabel? a. Are they the same father-son pair in Mt as in Lk? (Apparently popular father-son names were repeated across families – as with Jacob and Joseph in Matthew’s genealogy) If not, then no problem. I will, for purposes of this discussion, assume that they are not the same father-son pair. b. If so, then there is another problem: i. Who was Shealtiel’s father? Jeconiah (Mt) or Neri (Lk)? ii. Who was Zerubbabel’s son? Abihud (Mt) or Rhesa (Lk)? And where are these two in the list of 1 Chronicles 3:19-20 ( 19b the sons of Zerubbabel were Meshullam and Hananiah, and Shelomith was their sister; 20 and Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah and Jushab-hesed, five)? Cultural Factors 1. Simple remarriage. It is likely that in most marriages, men were older and women were younger (e.g. Joseph and Mary). So it is also likely that when husbands died, many women remarried. This was true in ancient times: Boaz married the widow Ruth, David married the widow Bathsheba after Uriah was killed. It also seems likely to have been true in classical, 1 st century times: Paul (in Rom.7:1-3) suggests that this is at least somewhat common in the Jewish community (‘I speak to those under the Law’ he says) in the 1 st century.

ZION’S TRUMPET, OR Star of the Saints. NO. 14.] FEBRUARY, 1850. [VOL. II. DUTIES OF THE OFFICERS OF THE SAINTS. WE embrace the present opportunity of giving some general instructions to the Elders, Priests, Teachers, and Deacons, in the duties of their several offices. First—Let each presiding Elder see that every officer under his charge magnifies his office as far as circumstances will permit. Let there be no idleness, “for the idler shall be had in remembrance before the Lord.” And we would suggest to the presidents of conferences, the propriety of dividing the cities, towns, and country that lay in the immediate vicinity of the various branches into districts, and place two Elders, or an Elder and a Priest, in charge with instructions to open places of preaching as far as in their power; and in all cases where there are not sufficient openings to occupy the time of the Elders in preaching, let them act in the office of Priests in visiting from house to house, and teaching the Saints. It is the duty of the Priests to visit all the Saints in the district to which they are appointed at least once in each month, and oftener if possible, and to teach them to avoid all backbiting, evil speaking, and the drinking of ardent spirits, and of the use of every other thing that is calculated to defile or demoralize them in the least; and also impress upon their minds as much as possible the commandment, which says, “And again inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of the stakes that are organized, that teach them not to understand 2 34 ZION’S TRUMPET.

Archaeology and Religion in Late Bronze Age Canaan
religions Article Archaeology and Religion in Late Bronze Age Canaan Aaron Greener W.F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, Salah e-Din St 26, 91190 Jerusalem, Israel; [email protected] Received: 28 February 2019; Accepted: 2 April 2019; Published: 9 April 2019 Abstract: Dozens of temples were excavated in the Canaanite city-states of the Late Bronze Age. These temples were the focal points for the Canaanites’ cultic activities, mainly sacrifices and ceremonial feasting. Numerous poetic and ritual texts from the contemporary city of Ugarit reveal the rich pantheon of Canaanite gods and goddesses which were worshiped by the Canaanites. Archaeological remains of these rites include burnt animal bones and many other cultic items, such as figurines and votive vessels, which were discovered within the temples and sanctuaries. These demonstrate the diverse and receptive character of the Canaanite religion and ritual practices. It seems that the increased Egyptian presence in Canaan towards the end of the period had an influence on the local belief system and rituals in some areas, a fact which is demonstrated by the syncretic architectural plans of several of the temples, as well as by glyptic and votive items. Late Bronze Age religious and cultic practices have attracted much attention from Biblical scholars and researchers of the religion of Ancient Israel who are searching for the similarities and influences between the Late Bronze Age and the following Iron Age. Keywords: Late Bronze Age; Canaan; religion; cult; temples; Egypt 1. Introduction Numerous excavations and a fairly large number of contemporary written documents give us a good picture of the religious system and cult practices in Canaan1 during the Late Bronze Age (ca.

Revisiting Genesis 5 and 11: a Closer Look at the Chronogenealogies
Andrews University Seminary Studies, Vol. 53, No. 2, 253-277. Copyright © 2015 Andrews University Seminary Studies. REVISITING GENESIS 5 AND 11: A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CHRONOGENEALOGIES BERNARD WHITE Busan, South Korea The genealogies of Gen 5 and 11 are unique in the Scripture record. Gerhard Hasel’s term chronogenealogy captures a major aspect of that uniqueness: they are genealogies with a major chronological component.1 By including ages at the birth of each named son, the number of years each individual lived after begetting that son, and the stated or implied total years of life for each individual, the two genealogies appear to provide a means by which to calculate the approximate number of years from Adam to Abraham.2 For 1Gerhard F. Hasel, “Genesis 5 and 11: Chronogenealogies in the Biblical History of Beginnings,” Origins 7.1 (1980): 23–37; “The Meaning of the Chronogenealogies of Genesis 5 and 11,” Origins 7.2 (1980): 53–70. Hasel’s term seems to have been adopted only by those inclined to accept a prima facie chronological intent of the two genealogies. See, for example, Jonathan Sarfati, “Biblical Chronogenealogies,” TJ 17.3 (2003): 14-18; Travis R. Freeman, “The Genesis 5 and 11 Fluidity Question,” TJ 19.2 (2005): 83–90. Chronological data is occasionally found in other genealogical material (Ex 6:16, 18, 20; 1 Chron 2:21); the significance of these ‘rarities’ will be explored at a later point in this paper. 2Bishop Ussher famously did just that—with injudicious precision!—in the mid-seventeenth century. But it is a pity that his name alone is so often cited in this respect, with the implication that using the chronological details of Gen 5 and 11 to estimate time since creation is to follow in his steps.

Christianity 101 Repeopling the Earth
Christianity 101: “Repeopling” The Earth Course 101 - Lesson 9 Prepared by: Ptr. Ronnie Tejada (Ref.: CBU Foundation to Build; “The Pentateuch” by L. Thomas Holdcroft) MEMORY VERSE: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 OBJECTIVE: To recognize that without God we can do nothing. But, with God nothing is impossible. INTRODUCTION: Quick review. After the flood: - Noah built an altar - God renewed the covenant - Noah planted a vineyard and get drunk - They traveled to the land of Shinar - They settled down and multiplied DISCUSSIONS: Let’s examine what the Bible says about the following: 1.) HOW MANY LANGUAGES DID THE PEOPLE SPEAK AFTER THE FLOOD? The whole earth spoke one language, and they all had one speech. Genesis 1:1 2.) WHEN THE PEOPLE LIVED IN SHINAR, WHAT DID THEY DESIRE TO DO? After the flood, they traveled east until they came to the land of Shinar. Here they lived, and here is where they conceived their great idea to build a tower to reach into heaven. Genesis 11:4 3.) WHY WAS IT DANGEROUS FOR THE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO BUILD THE TOWER? The people were in "unity” with the wrong motive. They could do anything that eventually can hurt them, so God decided to stop them. This is how powerful “unity” is. Genesis 11:6 4.) WHAT DID GOD DO? God came down from third heaven and gave them all different languages. They could not talk together anymore, so they scattered and stopped building.

Philomathes Advancing an Eschatological Conversation: An Interpretation of the Via Latina’s “Hercules Cycle” through the Eyes of a Late Antique Roman Viewer he wall-paintings in the Via Latina catacomb present a Tunique case study of the interaction between Christian and polytheistic icons in the third and fourth centuries.1 In particular, the “Hercules Cycle,” which is unique to Via Latina, invites its viewers to consider the emerging Judeo-Christian doctrines as in conversation with Greco-Roman tradition.2 Because of the ambiguity surrounding burial type in Via Latina, the 1 John Lowden, Early Christian & Byzantine Art, London: Phaidon (1997), 44. For a more detailed description of iconoclasm in the early church, see Troels Myrup Kristensen, Making and Breaking the Gods: Christian Responses to Pagan Sculpture in Late Antiquity, Aarhus: Aarhus University Press (2013), 255; and Laura Salah Nasrallah, Christian Responses to Roman Art and Architecture: The Second- century Church amid the Spaces of Empire. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (2010), 198-206. Conflicting historical accounts address the fundamental tension between Judaism’s prohibitions against idolatry and the Roman Empire’s grand displays of religious art, presenting Christians both as iconoclasts and preservers of the classical heritage. According to Kristensen, the mixed attitude of the early Church toward classical tradition represents a selective destruction and reuse of images for the purpose of creating a new iconography to express its blossoming theology. The archaeological record presents Christian artifacts that syncretize classical and biblical images, but some of the most striking examples appear in catacomb wall art. See Reita J. Sutherland, “Prayer and Piety: The Orans-Figure in the Christian Catacombs of Rome,” Thesis, University of Ottawa, (2013), 7-8 for specific examples of religious syncretism in other archeological artifacts.

Root Causes of Terrorism: Myths, Reality and Ways Forward
Root Causes of Terrorism Addressing the causes of a problem is often more effective than trying to fight its symptoms and effects. In Root Causes of Terrorism, a team of international experts analyses the possibilities and limitations of preventing and reducing terrorism by addressing the factors that give rise to it and sustain it. The questions raised include: • What are the main circumstances that provide preconditions for the emergence of various types of terrorism? • What are the typical precipitants that trigger terrorist campaigns? • To what extent is it possible to reduce the problem of terrorism by influencing these causes and circumstances? • Should we address those factors that sustain terrorist campaigns rather than root causes? Tore Bjørgo is Senior Research Fellow at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), and Research Director and Professor of Police Science at the Norwe- gian Police University College.
