Winstanley only references the Diggers that had “begun to dig Upon George Hill in Surrey.” Later in his defense of the Diggers against Ranterism, he makes reference to “we that are called Diggers,” an inclusive phrase with no geographic limiter.

At the core of both friendship relationships is faith and respect from the chosen humans towards their respective Gods, who in return bless the humans with divine acts. In this sense, both of their friendships are defined…

Christianity is an adopted lifestyle and relationship. There is not a man or woman alive that came out of the womb as a devout Christian. A person learns about salvation, God’s expectations, and Christian living by being part of a Christian community. We learn of our history and learn to make and honor commitments to Christ.

The transformations in communication can be seen through Renaissance artwork, and even Early Italian artwork. Specifically speaking, in the bronze gilt panel “The Story of Jacob and Esau,” created by Lorenzo Ghiberti in 1435, the artist uses high and low relief techniques to tell an entire biblical story in one panel.

and vegetables in liquid in a closed pan. This method of cooking has been known to man from the day he discovered fire and learned the basics of cooking .The very first written record of stew being cooked is found in The Old Testament. In Genesis, Esau, with Jacob, his brother trades their father's dowry for a dish of stewed meat. (Routt, n.d.)

The people are reminded by the lord that he was loyal so the tension between Jacob and Esau would be fixed. The book of Malachi is rare, it gives God’s message in a question and answer structure. The Lord begins by making a declaration of the truth, but its rejected by the citizens. The Lord offers his people examples which help and prove…
