John Chrysostom, a church father, writes that Noah ’ s behaviour is defensible: as the first human to taste wine, he would not know its aftereffects: “ Through ignorance and inexperience of the proper amount to drink, fell into a drunken stupor ”.

A fuller account would explain what exactly Ham “ had done to ” his father ; or why Noah directed a curse at Canaan for Ham ’ s misdeed ; or how Noah came to know what occurred.

The narrator relates two facts: ( 1 ) Noah became inebriated when he “ uncovered himself within his tent ” and ( 2 ) Ham “ saw his father ’ s nakedness .” Thus, these passages revolve around sexuality and the exposure of genitalia as compared with other Hebrew bible texts, such as Habakkuk 2: 15 and Lamentations 4: 21.

Rashi interprets his father's statement of the naming of Noah ( in Hebrew נ ֹ ח ַ) “ This one will comfort ( in Hebrew – yeNaHamainu י ְ נ ַ ח ֲ מ ֵ נו ) from our work and our hands sore from the land that the Lord had cursed ”, by saying Noah heralded a new era of prosperity, when there was easing ( in Hebrew – nahah – נחה ) from the curse from the time of Adam when the Earth produced thorns and thistles even where men sowed wheat and that Noah then introduced the plow.

Of the Gospels in the New Testament, the Gospel of Luke compares Noah's Flood with the coming Day of Judgement: “ Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man .”

In the Mesopotamian epics, Atrahasis ( Utnapishtim ) is glorified as a hero for his epic deeds of building and loading the ark, whereas Genesis simply says, “ Noah did all that the LORD commanded him .” Obedience to God, not human courage, is the focus in the later Genesis narrative.

It has been claimed that Paley was not a very original thinker and that the philosophical part of his treatise on ethics is “ an assemblage of ideas developed by others and is presented to be learned by students rather than debated by colleagues .” Nevertheless, his book The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy ( 1785 ) was a required text at Cambridge and Smith says that Paley ’ s writings were “ once as well known in American colleges as were the readers and spellers of William McGuffey and Noah Webster in the elementary schools .” Although now largely missing from the philosophical canon, Schneewind writes that " utilitarianism first became widely known in England through the work of William Paley.

Deucalion, with the aid of his father Prometheus, was saved from this deluge by building a chest ( literally “ chest ” like the Bible's “ ark ,” which means “ box ”) Like his Biblical equivalent Noah and Mesopotamian counterpart Utnapishtim, he uses his chest to survive the deluge with his wife, Pyrrha.

For Euclid ’ s method to succeed, the starting lengths must satisfy two requirements: ( i ) the lengths must not be 0, AND ( ii ) the subtraction must be “ proper ”, a test must guarantee that the smaller of the two numbers is subtracted from the larger ( alternately, the two can be equal so their subtraction yields 0 ).

Punch had a poem containing the words “ When Ivo comes back with the urn ” and when Ivo Bligh wiped out the defeat Lady Clarke, wife of Sir W. J. Clarke, who entertained the English so lavishly, found a little wooden urn, burnt a bail, put the ashes in the urn, and wrapping it in a red velvet bag, put it into her husband ’ s ( Ivo Bligh ’ s ) hands.

When more electrons are added to a single atom, the additional electrons tend to more evenly fill in a volume of space around the nucleus so that the resulting collection ( sometimes termed the atom ’ s “ electron cloud ” ) tends toward a generally spherical zone of probability describing where the atom ’ s electrons will be found.

Rousseau believed that young boys should avoid formal schooling and pursue instead an “ education direct from nature .” Ampère ’ s father actualized this ideal by allowing his son to educate himself within the walls of his well-stocked library.

In Ireland, Shane Butler said that AA “ looks like it couldn ’ t survive as there ’ s no leadership or top-level telling local cumanns what to do, but it has worked and proved itself extremely robust .” Butler attributed this to " AA ’ s ' inverted pyramid ' style of governance has helped it to avoid many of the pitfalls that political and religious institutions have encountered since it was established here in 1946.

“ Acts, then is a continuation of the Lucan Gospel, not in the sense that it relates what Jesus continued to do, but how his followers carried out his commission under the guidance of his Spirit .” Thus, part of the answer to the purpose of Acts is that Luke is writing to Theophilus, who is also mentioned in Luke 1: 3, in order to explain to him the occurrences that take place in the church that fulfill Jesus ’ promise to his disciples that “ you will be baptized with, the Holy Spirit not many days from now ” ( Acts 1: 5 ).

In fact, Fitzmyer believes that the preface of Luke should only be “ the starting point in the discussion of the aim of Luke-Acts .” Because the author ’ s intended purpose for the Book of Acts is not that straightforward, scholars have put forth four main claims to address this.

Some believe that Luke ’ s gospel can be seen to mirror the Jewish apologetic literature of the time which served to “ defend Jews against misunderstanding and persecution .” Acts is said to be a:

Supporters of this view believe that “ to a hypothetical outside reader, presents Christianity as enlightened, harmless, even beneficent .” Some believe that through this work, Luke intended to show the Roman Empire that the root of Christianity is within Judaism so that the Christians “ may receive the same freedom to practice their faith that the Roman Empire afforded the Jews .” Those who support the view of Luke ’ s work as political apology generally draw evidence from the facts that Christians are found innocent of committing any political crime ( Acts 25: 25 ; 19: 37 ; 19: 40 ) and that Roman officials ’ views towards Christians are generally positive.

Also, supporters of this view would characterize Luke ’ s portrayal of the Roman Empire as positive because they believe Luke “ glosses over negative aspects of the empire and presents imperial power positively .” For example, when Paul is before the council defending himself, Paul says that he is “ on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead ” ( Acts 23: 6 ).

Some believe that this appeal “ thereby shows Christian ’ s of Luke ’ s day both that their predecessors were innocent before the state and that Paul had no political quarrel with Rome ” but rather with the Jews who were accusing him.

Some scholars believe that the apologetic view of Luke ’ s work is overemphasized and that it should not be regarded as a “ major aim of the Lucan writings .” While Munck believes that purpose of Luke ’ s work is not that clear-cut and sympathizes with other claims, he believes that Luke ’ s work can function as an apology only in the sense that it “ presents a defense of Christianity and Paul ” and may serve to “ clarify the position of Christianity within Jewry and within the Roman Empire .” Pervo disagrees that Luke ’ s work is an apology and even that it could possibly be addressed to Rome because he believes that “ Luke and Acts speak to insiders, believers in Jesus .” Freedman believes that Luke is writing an apology but that his goal is “ not to defend the Christian movement as such but to defend God ’ s ways in history .”

An Act of Parliament passed in the year 1563, entitled “ An Act for the Translating of the Bible and the Divine Service into the Welsh Tongue ,” ordered that the Old and New Testament, together with the Book of Common Prayer, were to be translated into Welsh.

The ordaining bishop then places his omophor and right hand over the ordinand's head and recites aloud the first Prayer of Cheirotonia and then prays silently the other two prayers of cheirotonia while a deacon quietly recites a litany and the clergy, then the congregation, chant “ Lord, have mercy ”.

The “ Prayer Under Pressure …” era saw My Ruin become a fully realized band and unit of contributing members, rather than being just Tairrie ’ s solo project.

In another interview during the winter of 2000, which took place in the UK on the penultimate night of the Prayer Under Pressure Tour, when asked what her inspiration for the title of the record was, Tairrie said ; “ The title comes from a couple of different prayer books I ’ ve been reading, in different parts.

I kind of put it together, I read “ A Prayer Under Pressure ” in an old 1800 ’ s prayer book and then I read “ Of Violent Anguish ” somewhere else and I thought “ That sounds kinda like my life and what we ’ re doing ” so I put them together and liked it .”

When comparing the heaviosity of A Prayer Under Pressure of Violent Anguish with Speak and Destroy, in an interview, Tairrie said ; “ Mick came in and had a lot of ideas that were really, really cool and a lot heavier .”

Whilst promoting the album during an interview in 2010, Mick stated ; “ In regards to our older material I think that we have always worked really fast, around obstacles and within the limitations of a small budget – with the exception of our Prayer record – so we have ended up with something other than a super glossy user-friendly collection of past albums.
