Calendar of Saints

For this class, I learned a lot of material covered throughout the Old Testament. I learned about the chosen people, their mistakes, their punishment, and how God showed his grace even when they disobeyed. However, there is one group of people that kept the descendants of Abraham throughout their time, the prophets. These people were chosen messengers of God’s word, and even though the messages weren’t always pretty, they were always true. As a result, I have decided to give an insight on the prophetic book of Joel and the message behind this book. In a book titled “Joel: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary,” “the book of Joel consists of seventy-three verses” (Crenshaw, 11). In Crenshaw’s introduction he gives the idea that the book of Joel is clearly written by the prophet, Joel, himself (2008). However, there is no clear indication to tell us exactly when this book of Joel was actually written by the prophet. For example, in a book titled “The Book of Twelve: Hosea- Jonah” by James Nogalski, he states “In the past, suggestions have ranged from the tenth to the second centuries BCE.,” while “ the last thirty years, scholars have reached a broad consensus that Joel is a postexilic writing” (201). Because of this, the placement of this book is recognized in two separate times. According to Mickal, the Hebrew Bible places the book of Joel with the Minor Prophets, after Ezekiel & Hosea but before Amos, while the English and Greek Bible places it after Daniel…

monthly calendar and the next actions lists. With the monthly calendar I’m able to know what I have planned for that month, when assignments are due, and when tests are so I can plan accordingly. Then with this I also use a weekly planner in order to plan more effectively and ensure that there’s no wasted time within my day. For example, I started using the monthly calendar and weekly planner mainly for school, work, and community service. The monthly calendar lets me know dates of events like…

No, Einhard’s Life of Charlemange is not a hagiography. A hagiography is writing about saints, Charlemange was not a saint. Einhard’s story was about the life and death of Charlemange as an emperor.

Charlemange had began a war on the Lombards and did not end the war until he made their king surrender and also running the king’s son out of the kingdom and Italy. Charlemange then put his son Pepin in charge of…

The best calendar system that worked best…
