Synoptic comes from two Greek words which mean to see together and literally means able to be seen together. The reason for that name is this. These three gospels each give an account of the same events in Jesus' life. There are in each of them additions and omissions; but broadly speaking their material is the same and their arrangement is the same. It is therefore possible to set them down in parallel columns, and so to compare the one with the other. When that is done, it is quite clear that there is the closest possible relationship between them. If we, for instance, compare the story of the feeding of the five thousand (Matt. 14:12-21; Mk.6:30-44; Lk.9:10-17) we find exactly the same story told in almost exactly the same words. Another instance is the story of the healing of the man who was sick with the palsy (Matt. 9:1-8; Mk.2:1- 12; Lk.5:17-26). These three accounts are so similar that even a little parenthesis--"he then said to the paralytic"--occurs in all three as a parenthesis in exactly the same place. The correspondence between the three gospels is so close that we are bound to come to the conclusion either that all three are drawing their material from a common source, or that two of them must be based on the third. THE EARLIEST GOSPEL When we examine the matter more closely we see that there is every reason for believing that Mark must have been the first of the gospels to be written, and that the other two, Matthew and Luke, are using Mark as a basis.

    The Aeneid with Rabbits: Children's Fantasy as Modern Epic by Hannah Parry A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Acknowledgements Sincere thanks are owed to Geoff Miles and Harry Ricketts, for their insightful supervision of this thesis. Thanks to Geoff also for his previous supervision of my MA thesis and of the 489 Research Paper which began my academic interest in tracking modern fantasy back to classical epic. He must be thoroughly sick of reading drafts of my writing by now, but has never once showed it, and has always been helpful, enthusiastic and kind. For talking to me about Tolkien, Old English and Old Norse, lending me a whole box of books, and inviting me to spend countless Wednesday evenings at their house with the Norse Reading Group, I would like to thank Christine Franzen and Robert Easting. I'd also like to thank the English department staff and postgraduates of Victoria University of Wellington, for their interest and support throughout, and for being some of the nicest people it has been my privilege to meet. Victoria University of Wellington provided financial support for this thesis through the Victoria University Doctoral Scholarship, for which I am very grateful. For access to letters, notebooks and manuscripts pertaining to Rosemary Sutcliff, Philip Pullman, and C.S. Lewis, I would like to thank the Seven Stories National Centre for Children's Books in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Oxford University. Finally, thanks to my parents, William and Lynette Parry, for fostering my love of books, and to my sister, Sarah Parry, for her patience, intelligence, insight, and many terrific conversations about all things literary and fantastical.

  • Tanya Sources.Pdf
    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.

  • Proper Distinction Between the Law and the Gospel Is a Difficult and High Art to the Minister in So Far As He Is a Christian
    The Proper Distinction between Law and Gospel by C. F. W. Walther Concordia Publishing House, 1929 This work is from an electronic reproduction of Walther's Law and Gospel at lutherantheology.com. Law and Gospel was originally published by Concordia Publishing House in 1929. That edition is in the public domain. In an effort to make the book more readable and also useful for classwork and personal study, I have made some effort at making the typography proper, consistent, and error-free—as there were a considerable number of typesetting errors. The spelling of an older world, however, I have left alone. Mark Ryman www.scripturemission.com 1 Preface and Introduction The treatise which is herewith offered to the public will be found, in the last analysis, to be a searching study of the will of God as related to the will of man. From Genesis to Revelation, the Scriptures teach us that the will of God is directed towards man along two distinct lines. While the divine will itself is always one and never self- contradictory, it operates from distinct purposes and for distinct ends. But no matter how it operates, the element of man’s sin is always a factor in its operations. The will of God is related to the possibility and actuality of man’s sinning and exerts itself in two peculiar ways, against man’s sin and all its effects, by denouncing, opposing, fighting, and destroying them. In the first place, God has willed, is now willing, and will never cease willing, that man shall not sin.

    The Forbidden Tower The Forbidden Circle 02 - A Darkover Novel Marion Zimmer Bradley DAW BOOKS, INC. DONALD A. WOLLHEIM, PUBLISHER 1301 Avenue of the Americas New York, N. Y. 10019 COPYRIGHT © 1977, BY MARION ZIMMER BRADLEY All Rights Reserved Cover art by Richard Hescox. FIRST PRINTING, SEPTEMBER 1977 PRINTED IN U.S.A. DEDICATION For DIANA PAXSON, who asked the question which directly touched off this book; and for THEODORE STURGEON, who first explored the questions which, directly or indirectly, underlie almost everything I have written. Chapter One Damon Ridenow rode through a land cleansed. For most of the year, the great plateau of the Kilghard Hills had lain under the evil influence of the catmen. Crops withered in the fields, under the unnatural darkness which blotted out the light of the sun; the poor folk of the district huddled in their homes, afraid to venture into the blasted countryside. But now men worked again in the light of the great red sun of Darkover, garnering their harvests against the coming snows. It was early autumn, and the harvests were mostly in. The Great Cat had been slain in the caves of Corresanti and the giant illegal matrix which he had found and put to such frightful use had been destroyed with his death. Such catmen as still lived had fled into the far rain forests beyond the mountains, or fallen to the swords of the Guardsmen that Damon had led against them. The land was clean again and free of terror, and Damon, most of his army dismissed to their homes, rode homeward.

  • Classic Monologues for High School Girls
    Classic Monologues for High School Girls Below are over 130 monologues taken from classic plays and literature! Performing classic monologues can help students expand their ability to take on more challenging texts. Ways to use this list! Assigned Monologues You may choose to assign students monologues, letting them know that actors cannot always choose their roles and often, they must portray characters with whom they don’t identify. Student’s Choice Allow students access to this list so that they may choose their own. Monologues in a Hat You may also print out enough monologues of equal length for each female student and put them in a hat, and allow them to draw randomly. ‘Cold’ Readings Hand out monologues randomly and allow students a few minutes to read their piece before dramatizing it in front of the class. This builds improvisation skills and helps prepare students for cold-reading in an audition experience. Researched Monologues When practical, assign or have students choose a monologue and then have them read/research the play/literature and analyze their character in preparation for performance. © Drama Notebook www.dramanotebook.com All Rights Reserved.

  • 100 Bible Lessons About God the Father
    100 BIBLE LESSONS By Alban Douglas LESSON ONE The Existence of God INTRODUCTION To begin our study in Bible doctrine, we ought to begin with God. We are constantly challenged by atheists, sceptics and hecklers to prove that there is a God. It is difficult for natural man to believe in something that he cannot see, touch or feel (I Cor. 2 :14). The problem for the Christian is solved with the first verse of the Bible, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Gen. 1:1). The Bible is not a textbook that attempts to prove the existence of God-the Bible opens with a positive fact that God does exist. It did not occur to any other writer of the Bible to prove this fact. The Bible plainly states that it is the fool who denies the existence of God. Psa. 14 :1, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." Anyone with any intelligence would acknowledge the evident fact of a living God. The greatest proof apart from Scripture of the existence of God is our daily fellowship with Him in prayer. I know that there is a God because I talked to Him today and He heard and answered the prayer of my heart though it was only whispered silently. I. PROOF FROM SCRIPTURE Psa. 19 :1, "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork." The beauty and glory of the heavens speak loudly saying, "God exists." . Rom. 1 :20 goes farther and suggests that creation even teaches about the eternal power of the Godhead, "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." The man who accepts Scripture will readily acknowledge the existence of God.

CHAPTER XII She ran out to the shade of the garden walls to be by herself and in the air, and she read; and instantly her own letter to the baroness crashed sentence upon sentence, in retort, springing up with the combative instinct of a beast, to make discord of the stuff she read, and deride it. Twice she went over the lines with this defensive accompaniment; then they laid octopus-limbs on her. The writing struck chill as a glacier cave. Oh, what an answer to that letter of fervid respectfulness, of innocent supplication for maternal affection, for some degree of benignant friendship! The baroness coldly stated, that she had arrived in the city to do her best in assisting to arrange matters which had come to a most unfortunate and impracticable pass.

  • Fragment of an Analysis of the Mother in Freud
    Fragment of an Analysis of the Mother in Freud A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychoanalysis and Gender Studies in the University of Canterbury by Karyn Leona Stewart University of Canterbury 2012 I am compelled to go my own way, often a roundabout way, and that I cannot make any use of ideas that are suggested to me when I am not 1 ready for them. 1 Freud in a letter to Fritz Wittels in E. Freud, 1960: 346. Contents Acknowledgements i Abstract v A Note on Abbreviations and the Word Mother vii Prologue: ‘Prelude for the Reader’ viii Chapter One: Freud and the Mother 1 Chapter Two: Feminism and Freud 21 Chapter Three: Freud 67 Chapter Four: Freud, Rank’s Anxiety 130 Chapter Five: The Clowning Mother 171 Appendix 1. 205 Appendix 2. 209 Bibliography 212 Acknowledgements ‘Everything would be all right were it not for this and that and t’other’ (Freud in Jones, 1957: 496). Acknowledgements are funny things somebody or something always gets left out. And given that this is a thesis engaged with psychoanalysis and therefore the unconscious, one wonders if the leaving out is deliberate. The journey of this thesis has been rather long and somewhat arduous. Less dream journey and royal road and more nightmare and deserted thoroughfare, in the sense that thoroughfare gives as a ‘rite’ of passage. And while Freud’s dream journey and his theory in general seems to be stopped by a ‘burning bush’ and the biblical reference to Moses is deliberate, my travails have been held up by life.
