A defining feature of any collection, whether it be of curiosities, natural specimens, art works, or other objects, is the presence of an underlying system of thought — an episteme — that shapes the way in which a collection grows and evolves. Differences in these epistemes can vary widely across the centuries, and the present paper will discuss the differences between two genres of cabinets: the Wunderkammern, or “cabinet of wonders”, of the 16th century during the Renaissance; and the…

received were “inscribed by the finger of God” (Exodus 31:18; Deuteronomy 9:10). The Law clearly reveals God’s standard for His people living in a fallen world. “The law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good” (Romans 7:12; cf. Nehemiah…

upward. Daniel’s practice of praying in isolation was also a big deal, as most prayers were out loud in a public setting with a sacrifice (Newman, 2017). The book of Daniel was also written in second Jerusalem temple time. Along with the book of Ezra- Nehemiah, Judith, and Tobit. It’s important because after the first temple was demolished, Jews learned to be faithful without a place to worship (Newman, 2017). And Daniel’s position of prayer, as discussed up above, is in reference to King…

Protest. This simple word brings to mind images of violent revolution, interactions between civilians and officers of the law. Perhaps, specifically the Boston Tea Party, The Occupy Wall Street Movement, or The Salt March. Famous names also come to mind, Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks, all were known for their use of civil disobedience. However, one name is not oft remembered but deserves to be, as he coined the term ‘civil disobedience,’ Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau…

Observation: The student body section of the football game was most noticeable on the Heritage side and all the students seemed to be in one homogenous clump, with the exception of one or two separated groups and individuals. However, upon closer glance, the glaringly obvious racial divide clearly split the group of students down a chasm of social segregation.

Our union with Christ refers to the relationship that we have with Christ. John Murray states “union with Christ is . . . the central truth of the whole doctrine of salvation . . .. It is not simply a phase of the application of redemption; it underlies every aspect of redemption” (Murray, 201-202).…

In the beginning was the genesis of creation, where had God moved by his spirit to create the Heavens, Earth, and mankind for a companionship with one of his own image. God wanted a relationship based on freewill for the product of true love. But the free will of mankind resulted in the fall from the grace of God. Because of God’s love, we can see the movement of God throughout history to reconcile the relationship between God and mankind back into right standing. The movement shows a trajectory…
