European Research Council

Between the 1090’s and 1300, Europe bared witness to generationally occurring Holy Wars. The movements were, and still are, primarily deemed as Christian influenced persecutions, but if examined closer it is the use of propaganda and position that is found behind the push of the crusades.

Exegesis: I. Historical Setting: A. When: There has been a long standing debate over the timeline in which both Acts and Luke were written.

In following with the traditional belief that the book of Acts was written as a sequel to Luke, it would place the writing sometime between A.D. 62-64. Others scholars may argue for a later date. B. Setting: The passage takes place in Jerusalem sometime after…

Crossroads of the Arctic Council? When the Arctic Council was established in 1996 it was designed to bring together the states bordering the Arctic Ocean on issues related to environmental protection and sustainability. The organization does not address military issues in the region, which allows it to be one of the few international organizations in which both the U.S. and Russia will cooperate.
