William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is one of his most disputable plays for an assortment of reasons. Written in sixteenth-century England, where against Semitism was normal and the nearness of Jews was not, the play suggests numerous conversation starters concerning racial, religious and human distinction. The play is particularly precarious to inspect in the present society, as its hostile to Semitic subjects and dialect can be awkward to look in a world post-Holocaust. Also, the…

ONE DAY, WHILST changing into a fresh tunic after a tiring day of practice races, Rubio was summoned to the Domus Aurelia by Aurelius Falco. He’d been called the into the tablinum for a special meeting, a meeting, in all probability, designed to detail him on the upcoming Ludi Plebeii, Rubio thought to himself as he made his way out his concrete cubicle on his way to the villa.

Internal Evidence of Early Authorship All of the New Testament was written in the first century. Some scholars date them toward the middle and others toward the end. Usually, the late dating of the gospels is based on knowledge and predictions around the destruction of the temple.

The New Testament of the Holy Bible is a collection of twenty-seven writings that have been deemed as canon by the early church. The term canon comes from the Greek word kanṓn representing a carpenter’s rule. The current list of books first appeared in a festal letter from Athanasius, the bishop of Alexandria, in 367.
