What are some great books on Philosophy?

answers1: I consider Etienne Gilson essential reading for anyone
interested in philosophy. In fact, I consider him one of the best
philosophers of the 20th century (at least that I have read) in the
sense of his clear understanding of the issues surrounding philosphy.
<br>
<br>
And 2 of his essentials … <br>
<br>
Etienne Gilson ... Unity of Philosophical Experience <br>
Etienne Gilson ... God and Philosophy <br>
<br>
http://www.amazon.com/Unity-Philosophical-Experience-Etienne-Gilson/dp/089870748X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235881989&sr=1-1
<br>
<br>
The " Unity of Philosophical Experience" is particularly interesting
because Gilson gives one an overview of where philosophy went in the
last 1000 years. The great ideas that formed philosophy over this
period. The book is divided into 4 sections … <br>
<br>
1) The Medieval Experiment <br>
2) The Cartesian Experiment <br>
3) The Modern Experiment <br>
4) The Nature and Unity of Philosophical Experience <br>
<br>
Check the reviews of these books on Amazon.com for write-ups on them. <br>
<br>
Also, Frederick Copleston's series, A History of Philosophy is also
excellent. One can buy any one of the 9 volumes, depending on what
period one is interested in. <br>
<br>
http://www.amazon.com/History-Philosophy-1-Frederick-Copleston/dp/0385468431/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235881733&sr=1-1
<br>
<br>
" …. ….. Conceived originally as a serious presentation of the
development of philosophy for Catholic seminary students, Frederick
Copleston's nine-volume A History Of Philosophy has journeyed far
beyond the modest purpose of its author to universal acclaim as the
best history of philosophy in English. <br>
<br>
Copleston, an Oxford Jesuit of immense erudition who once tangled with
A. J. Ayer in a fabled debate about the existence of God and the
possibility of metaphysics, knew that seminary students were fed a
woefully inadequate diet of theses and proofs, and that their
familiarity with most of history's great thinkers was reduced to
simplistic caricatures. Copleston set out to redress the wrong by
writing a complete history of Western philosophy, one crackling with
incident and intellectual excitement -- and one that gives full place
to each thinker, presenting his thought in a beautifully rounded
manner and showing his links to those who went before and to those who
came after him………….."
answers2: Our our wise introspection. With a guileless heart let us
analyze things and try to know one by one. Every thing in the world
teaches us. Universe is an open book. An illiterate can be a
philosopher.
answers3: The Urantia Book offers a clear and concise integration of
science, philosophy, and religion. Those who read and study it believe
that The Urantia Book has the capacity to make a significant
contribution to the religious and philosophical thinking of people
worldwide. <br>
<br>
The Urantia Book is not a "religion" per se. Its builds upon the
religious heritages of the past and present, encouraging a personal,
living religious faith.
answers4: The Bhagavad Gita. It is the most profound book ever. I am
not Indian and not Hindu. I am objective. This is a small marvel, a
pearl in literature, no, not a pearl, a precious gem, the most
precious. It is not religion. It is just philosophy at its best, at
the highest level ever.
answers5: Christian Apologetics, by Norman Geisler. <br>
<br>
Against Liberalism, by John Kekes
answers6: Sophie's World <br>
Just as an intro into the whole concept and situation of Philosophy in
our world today. It is very good in the way that it presents the whole
thing in a simple and straight manner :P hope i helped
answers7: Read a book, period. But start with: "The Story of
Philosophy" by Will Durrant.
answers8: I would start with "History of Philosophy" by Frederick
Copleston, S.J., and "History of Political Philosophy", edited by Leo
Strauss and Joseph Cropsey. They're harder than you most likely want
but they have serious depth to them. Additionally, I would read books
by Ayn Rand -- just remember she's not the end of philosophy as her
tone sometimes manages to suggest. "History of Western Philosophy" by
Bertrand Russell is also a good first read; however, it is dated and
lacks depth at times. Read "Closing of the American Mind" by Allan
Bloom to see a philosophical mind at work examining America in the
1980s. Also try reviewing the MIT free open courses at: <a
href="http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/courses/courses/index"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/courses/co...</a>
<br>
After that try the main texts below: <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Plato -- The Republic, The Laws <br>
Aristotle -- Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, Metaphysics <br>
Thucydides -- The War of the Peloponnesians and the Athenians <br>
St.Augustine -- The City of God <br>
Dante -- The Divine Comedy <br>
Maimonides -- the guide of the Perplexed <br>
St. Aquinas -- Summa Theologica <br>
Machiavelli -- The Prince, The Discourses on the First ten books of
Titus Livius <br>
Bacon -- New Atlantis, Advancement of Learning <br>
Descartes -- Discourse on Method, Meditations <br>
Hobbes -- Leviathan <br>
Locke -- Two Treatises of government, An essay concerning Human
Understanding <br>
Milton -- Paradise Lost <br>
Shakespeare -- Hamlet, King Lear, <br>
Spinoza -- Theologico-Political Treatise <br>
Hume -- Treatise of Human Understanding, Enquiry Concerning Human
Understanding <br>
Rousseau -- Social Contract, Discourse on the Sciences and Arts <br>
Smith -- The Wealth of Nations <br>
Burke -- Reflections on the Revolution in France <br>
Kant -- Critique of pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason <br>
Hegel -- Phenomenolgy of the Mind <br>
Marx -- Capital <br>
Nietzsche -- Beyond Good and evil, Thus spoke Zarathustra <br>
Husserl -- Logical Investigations <br>
Heidegger -- Being and Time <br>
Wittgenstein -- Philosophical Investigations <br>
Popper -- The Logic of Scientific Discovery, The open Society and its Enemies
answers9: The biggest selling anthology of philosophy in history is
The Great Books of the Western World, available only in a library.
<br>
<br>
Read just volumes II and III. <br>
<br>
They cover the 102 topics most covered in philosophy. Doing it by
topic allows the authors to include the basic ideas of each
philosopher side by side. That way you don't have to read each
philosopher one by one. <br>
<br>
It makes reading philosophy exciting because when you find something
interesting and want to read more, the books tell you where in the
rest of the series of books to find it.
answers10: Here's a few 'Heavyweights' I enjoy from various genres:
The Iliad and Odyssey by Homer The Divine Comedy by Dante Paradise
Lost by Milton Don Quixote by Cervantes Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear
by Shakespeare The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky Faust by Goethe
Ulysses by Joyce Moby Dick by Melville The Republic by Plato The
Prince by Machiavelli Leviathan by Hobbes The Art of Warfare by Sun
Tzu The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbon Thus Spoke
Zarathustra by Nietzsche The Analects by Confucious The Bhagavad Gita
The Golden Bough by Fraser The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Campbell
The White Goddess by Robert Graves

how can i get a scholorship for a performing arts high school?

answers1: There are public charter performing arts high schools, have
you checked to see if there is one near you? <br>
<br>
Since you didn't mention where you live, here are some boarding
schools with good performing arts programs, and they do offer
financial aid. Financial aid can often be partial, not full, but it's
worth putting in an application. Both schools have high percentages of
students receiving financial aid, 50 - 70%. <br>

southern illinois university? performing arts?

answers1: hard stuff. browse with google. just that can assist!
answers2: I went to Siu-C and its a good liberal arts school. But if
you want to get into the business of film making (which I tried), and
since you are only a freshman, set your site on UCLA film school
(Lucas, Spielberg, etc) or New York Film School (Spike Lee,). <br>
Performing Arts are normally for people who are going to be
musicians and dancers. If you want to write, you take classes on
writing and a lot of schools offer scriptwriting classes by the way.
<br>
A film producer is a money man and oversees production and make sure
that the director stays relative in budget or close to it. If you
want to be a director, I suggest study the art of cinematography. And
look online for things that are being filmed in your area and see if
you can get a crew job.

Ancient History or History? And Joint or Single honours?

answers1: Ancient History and History will open the door just as wide.
They're essentially the same degree when employers look at it. So I'd
go with Classics. Ancient Greek and Roman history is where it's at.
answers2: i think of, the actual nature of the soul is understanding
or understanding that acts as a witness to despite is happening
interior the being. So if the strategies did no longer dream at night,
the soul in basic terms makes the being attentive to the undeniable
fact that there grow to be no dreaming at night and this communique
can not be considered a communique like we communicate with one yet
another by way of our thoughts and strategies. So i visit assert that
soul would not have thoughts to communicate with the strategies and it
communicates rapidly with the being by way of witnessing or the
understanding or the understanding.
answers3: "Among the jobs you can consider are: advertising executive,
analyst, archivist, broadcaster, campaign worker, consultant,
congressional aide, editor, foreign service officer, foundation
staffer, information specialist, intelligence agent, journalist, legal
assistant, lobbyist, personnel manager, public relations staffer,
researcher, teacher . . . the list can be almost endless. <br>
<br>
More specifically, though, with your degree in history you can be an
educator, researcher, communicator or editor, information manager,
advocate, or even a businessperson. " <br>

Study the history you want, while once history was limited to only
Classical (Greek/Roman) it isn't today. Only so many Odes to Plato,
Josephus, or Varro can be written. Good luck.

Delete youtube history? :D?

answers1: Within the first place you're no longer suppose to move on

a just right cause. Computer use within the colleges are to be used

grade 10 history?

answers1: Basically a fact is something that cannot be disputed
because there is solid evidence from both sides that points to the
fact. For example, 9/11 occured on September 11, 2000.
answers2: history can be opinions and fact because opinions are what a
persons or people saw or experince at that time of history. While
fact allows evidences to prove that they are telling the trues on what
they say happen at that time of history. <br>
<br>
For Example like 9/11. We had people opinion on what had happen, but
we have video evidence of what had happen. This allows us to know
what truly happen.
answers3: When I was in college, I took American history. It involved
a number of text books. One reason was to get statistical facts. You
can't change the numbers. But the text books are written by people
with different opinions. Therefore we had to come up with our own
opinion on what we thought had happened. Read different newspapers
about the same story. You will see what I mean.
answers4: Because facts can be backed up by numbers or events... but
all of your textbooks contain a lot of opinions, because you cannot
put a story together by using dates and facts only-- you have to
speculate and make the story flow, most of the times adding your own
words...
answers5: I just did this for my 2nd year university! <br>
<br>
Basically a fact is something that cannot be disputed because there is
solid evidence from both sides that points to the fact. For example,
9/11 occured on September 11, 2000. <br>
An opinion is something that is one sided and not a fact. The fact can
be debated by historians and is not written in stone by all sides of
the arguement. For example, although people argue that Canada became a
country with a "national" mentality after Confederation, some say that
it occured in the early 1800's. <br>
<br>
All textbooks have a bias, or "opinion" to one side of an arguement
versus another. It is your job as a historian to sort through the
opinions and weed out the facts and widely accepted beliefs. <br>
<br>
<br>
EDIT <br>
Sorry to say, but it is NOT factual that WWI started because of the
assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. This is a widely held opinion.
Others believe it started because of other reasons. Sorry... I just
wanted to make sure you weren't confused by that :)
answers6: it can be opinions because a lot of sources for history are
first hand accounts from people at that time, and obviously no one is
unbiased when they write about something. that's an OPINION. it can
be factual like how everyone agrees that WWI started in 1914 because
of the assassination of archduke ferdinand, or that george washington
was the first US president. those can't be disputed.
answers7: History is a combination of facts and analysis. It's the
analysis portion that provokes controversy. <br>
<br>
Fact: 9-11-01 the Twin Towers of NYC were attacked. <br>
Analysis/Opinion: The terrorists were from the Al-Quada network. <br>
<br>
Fact: Pearl Harbor was attacked 12-7-41 by the Japanese. <br>
Analysis/Opinion: FDR knew in advance and allowed it to happen to
overcome the 'peacemongers' in Congress. <br>
<br>
Facts are what you see, can touch and hear. Opinions and analyses are
what others believe were the causes and the results. The interval of
time provides perspective so that analysis becomes more precise.

A free genealogy web site designed to help you find missing branches
of your family tree using Pedigree Resource File (PRF), a rapidly

answers2: I save this and paste it because people ask the same
question 1 - 4 times a day: <br>
<br>
What are good free sites for genealogy? <br>
Does anyone know about the {surname} family? <br>
How can I trace my family tree, for free? <br>
<br>
Sometimes thay ask in the genealogy category, Arts & Humanities ->
Genealogy. Sometimes they don't. If you search or browse the resolved
questions in the Genealogy category, you can find more links from
other people. <br>
<br>
Here are some large free sites. <br>

the USA, but you can sometimes find old versions in discount bins at
software stores. <br>
<br>
http://www.tedpack.org/begingen.html <br>
has some tips for beginners. <br>

I used to suggest people who were in favor of free data volunteer to
ADD to it, instead of just taking it, but I gave that up as a lost

you have to write proper queries - i.e., "what do you know about the
smith family" isn't going to get any responses, but "I'm looking for

What is the best genealogy website?

answers1: Try genes-reunited. You can make your family tree and add
photos too. You have the added bonus of being able to use the data
base and match up with people that have family members. You can search
BDM records and the censuses but you do have to pay to see them.
answers2: I will repost with some modifications,what I wrote you in
another of your questions so that maybe someone who didn't see my
answer might see it here.. <br>
Best website is pretty relative. Depends upon what exactly you are
looking for. A good place to go to look at lists of genealogy related
sites is :<a href="http://www.cyndislist.com"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.cyndislist.com</a> <br>
You might like <a href="http://www.tribalpages.com"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.tribalpages.com</a> There are
various levels of security, from open to everyone to just yourself.
There is the free version which I've used for years and then there are
varying levels of "for pay" versions. You pick and choose what you
want. The free version mostly does not let you add more than 80
photos. But it is fully functional. Easy to use but does not let you
add a lot of notes. So I use it for my on line, no notes site and keep
my full notes and info on my home computer. (by the way, I use the
free genealogy program from www.familysearch.org great easy program
and again, I've used it for years. And you can get it in several
different languages too.) <br>
You can visit my site to look at it: <a

What are the benefits of Genealogy?

answers1: If mom is adopted, you MUST have the names of the biological
parents, to trace her lineage. That is the technical answer. You can
trace dad's side. <br>
Some persons choose the approach that adopted children become part of
the adopted family, thus making those ancestors "family". <br>
Some states also are opening up adoption records. This is a choice
your mom must make, if she wants to pursue.
answers2: Some people take it for religious belief, others for pride
of decent from certain families, still others for the desire to know
medical and family history of certain persons. <br>
<br>
Conducting genealogical research can benefit you in psychological
ways. Many people take this pastime a leisure activity. The
psychological benefits of this leisure activity are significant. You
can feel a sense of accomplishment through researching and compiling
information. You may feel proud of some of your ancestors and being a
decent of your family. You can fosters a sense of self worth and
belonging.
answers3: In very rare cases you can find something you need to know;
if you are a carrier for Huntington's Chorea, for instance. usually
you can do more for your health by the usual ways than by genealogy.
If; for instance, your last 4 generations of ancestors all died of
cancer, you'd do well to stop smoking and get a checkup once a year.
But, most people would be healthier if they stopped smoking and
drinking, exercised more and limited how much red meat they ate. <br>
<br>
Doing a cross-word doesn't have many benefits, unless you count
keeping your mind active. You learn a new word now and again, and once
in a while you see a clever pun. ("Future school", for instance, was
the clue for the word "roe" on one crossword I remember.) <br>
<br>
By the same token, genealogy doesn't have any particular benefit, but
many of us (especially us regulars in this category) find it a
fascinating hobby. <br>
<br>
In your case, you'd have to either limit yourself to your father's
line, or "do" your mother's adoptive parents, or get her adoption
records unsealed. <br>
<br>
Her adoptive parents would be as much of a challenge and almost as
much fun as her real ones. I sell my talents to the highest bidder at
our church talent auction every year. I spend 20 - 40 hours tracking
down the ancestors of a person I'm not related to. It is as much of a
challenge and almost as much fun as someone I am related to.
answers4: In some case there may be some benefit in knowing which if
any of your ancestors had certain medical disorders. Modern genetic
testing is now very good and is getting better, but it is still
inconvenient to test everybody for everything. So if you can catch a
clue about diseases that might be hereditary in your family, it could
suggest to a physician what tests might be helpful in caring for you.
<br>
<br>
Otherwise, genealogy is mostly just a hobby. It is very instructive
in regards to history and geography and very helpful in breathing life
into these relatively dry subjects. It helps you to understand the
human timescale. What does 1776, 1666, or 1066 mean to you? When you
can place your ancestors in relation to historic landmarks, you have a
deeper understanding of how long ago and how far away those events
really were. <br>
<br>
Your mother's adoption may be something of a barrier on that side of
the family. But sometimes you can get past that sort of thing. The
first step is to get as much as family history as you can from living
members of your family.

Two contradicting genealogies of Jesus?

answers1: The genealogies in Matthew and Luke are fabrications, so you
can't tell anything factual from them. Each of those writers wanted to
show that Jesus was descended from David, so they separately made up
the respective genealogies. That is why they contradict each other.
<br>
<br>
They each provided their fabricated genealogies as showing the descent
from David through Joseph, which would have been according to the
legal descent, since Joseph was the husband of Mary. <br>
<br>
Since the genealogies are contradictory, some Bible apologists try to
say that the genealogy in Luke is actually that of Mary. However, Mary
is not even mentioned in that genealogy. If that genealogy was that of
Mary, why doesn't her name appear in it? <br>
<br>
In any case, according to Luke, Mary was Elizabeth's cousin (suggenes
in the original Greek, which indicates a blood relative). Since
Elizabeth was of the priestly tribe of Levi, Mary would also have been
of that descent and could therefore not have been a descendant of
David. That is, if you believe what Luke says. <br>
<br>
That is especially relevant because Luke mentions Mary in the birth
stories much more than Matthew does. For example, instead of Joseph,
it is Mary who the angel appears to concerning the coming birth of
Jesus. There are also several other narratives about Mary, indicating
the importance that Luke gave her. In that case, why wouldn't he have
mentioned Mary in the genealogy if he intended it to be hers? <br>
<br>
It should be noted that Mary's name does appear in Joseph's genealogy
in Matthew, where it states that Joseph was the husband of Mary. <br>
<br>
Those who say that the genealogy in Luke is Mary's therefore have no
basis for saying that other than wishful thinking. <br>
<br>
But that is not all. Since @Lightning from the East brings it up, I
should comment about the virgin birth. <br>
<br>
The belief in the virgin birth was one of the myths that developed
about Jesus after his death on the cross. And it was a relatively late
one at that, because it is not known in the earlier Christian
documents. <br>
<br>
When Matthew wrote his gospel he tried to find something in the
scriptures to support the idea of a virgin birth. As a Greek speaker,
he used the Septuagint translation of the scriptures, but that
translation often did not convey the sense of the original Hebrew.
Furthermore, the idea of a virgin birth would have been foreign to the
Hebrews of the Old Testament time (it was essentially a pagan
concept), and the only passage Matthew could come up with was Isaiah
7:14. <br>
<br>
The prophecy in Isaiah 7:14-16 was about an event that would take
place in the near future from the time it was given, not hundreds of
years in the future. Furthermore, the woman spoken of was not referred
to as a virgin (which is bethuwlah in the original Hebrew), but rather
a young woman (almah in the original Hebrew) and there was nothing
unusual about the birth. As the prophecy said, by the time the child
who was to be born would be able to refuse evil and choose the good,
the land would be forsaken of both of its kings--again, an event that
would take place in the near future. <br>
<br>
But the point that needs to be emphasized is that Isaiah used the
Hebrew word for virgin (bethuwlah) in several other places in his book
(23:12, 37:22, 47:1, and 62:5), so why didn't he use it in 7:14 if the
woman was supposed to be a virgin? The answer is that the young woman
was not supposed to be a virgin as is clear from the context. <br>
<br>
Also, Jesus was not called Immanuel, which is what Isaiah said the
child would be called. <br>
<br>
What it all boils down to is that Matthew was trying to fabricate a
prophecy about the virgin birth (which, again, was itself just a myth
that arose in the years after the death of Jesus) from the Hebrew
Scriptures. But He got tripped up by the Septuagint translation, for
in that translation the Hebrew word for young woman got translated
into Greek with a word that was more ambiguous and could have been
taken as meaning virgin. <br>
<br>
Also, in several other places in the New Testament, the idea of a
virgin birth is negated. In Romans 1:3 and Acts 2:30, for example,
Jesus is described as being of the seed of David "according to the
flesh," which would rule out the idea of a virgin birth. <br>
<br>
The fact is that the stories of the birth of Jesus in Matthew and Luke
are nothing but fabrications. They completely contradict each other.

answers3: Tina`s right y`know. <br>
<br>
Try actually looking at the tangible evidence, it wont take long. <br>
There isn`t any.
answers4: If you're an "infallible word of God" cover your eyes and
don't read my answer, i don't mean to pick at any part of your faith
and certainly don't mean to offend anybody. <br>
<br>
Personally I love the bible, I accept it as truth, I accept it as
inspired, but feel no need to justify every contradiction as correct
in both cases. <br>
<br>
If you must figure this out while having both of the discussions be
"infallible", I wish you luck; that would take a lot of twisting and
speculating on dozens of special circumstances to be plausible. If
you can consider that one of them may have gotten it wrong then
consider the following: <br>
<br>
<br>
Mathew had a different audience than Luke in the bible. Mathew was a
Jew writing to other Jews in order to convince them that Jesus was the
Jewish Messiah, and thus his genealogy was intended to show the
following things: <br>
- A lineage from David, King of Israel - implying that He would have
been rightful heir to the thrown. <br>
- A lineage including 21 generation, he actually included 19 but
stretched it to look like 21 because 3 and 7 are holy numbers so 21
generations from David would be significant <br>
- A lineage touching on some of the important people in the Judeo history <br>
- A mention of Christ coming "out of Egypt" and a "slaughter of the
innocent" to equate Christ with Moses. There is a lack of historical
evidence for the slaughter of the innocent near the birth of Christ
and the notion that Jesus grew up in Egypt makes it odd to call Him
"Jesus of Nazareth" in the remainder of the scriptures and fulfilling
a prophecy that was already fulfilled in Moses again with Jesus. <br>
<br>
I think Mathew was aiming for a certain audience and perhaps aimed a
bit too hard. I doubt anybody manipulated the texts, but in the
reasoning of Jew to Jew during the era it probably was a story that
evolved. <br>
<br>
Luke on the other hand was a physician, and wrote from a gentile's
perspective to other gentiles without the need to make the Jewish
points that Mathew focuses on. <br>
<br>
I believe Luke probably got it right because his lineage wasn't trying
to force the points that Mathew needed to force to make his point. Of
course the only key piece of information is what they both agree on,
that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God in the flesh and that
someway or somehow Mary was His mother but in a marvelous way, the
virgin conceived and God was His father.
answers5: Jesus' genealogy is given in two places in Scripture:
Matthew 1 and Luke 3:23-38. Matthew traces the genealogy from Jesus to
Abraham. Luke traces the genealogy from Jesus to Adam. However, there
is good reason to believe that Matthew and Luke are in fact tracing
entirely different genealogies. For example, Matthew gives Joseph's
father as Jacob (Matthew 1:16), while Luke gives Joseph's father as
Heli (Luke 3:23). Matthew traces the line through David's son Solomon
(Matthew 1:6), while Luke traces the line through David's son Nathan
(Luke 3:31). In fact, between David and Jesus, the only names the
genealogies have in common are Shealtiel and Zerubbabel (Matthew 1:12;
Luke 3:27). <br>
<br>
Some point to these differences as evidence of errors in the Bible.
However, the Jews were meticulous record keepers, especially in regard
to genealogies. It is inconceivable that Matthew and Luke could build
two entirely contradictory genealogies of the same lineage. Again,
from David through Jesus, the genealogies are completely different.
Even the reference to Shealtiel and Zerubbabel likely refer to
different individuals of the same names. Matthew gives Shealtiel's
father as Jeconiah while Luke gives Shealtiel's father as Neri. It
would be normal for a man named Shealtiel to name his son Zerubbabel
in light of the famous individuals of those names (see the books of
Ezra and Nehemiah). <br>
<br>
Another explanation is that Matthew is tracing the primary lineage
while Luke is taking into account the occurrences of "levirate
marriage." If a man died without having any sons, it was tradition for
the man's brother to marry his wife and have a son who would carry on
the man's name. While possible, this view is unlikely as every
generation from David to Jesus would have had a "levirate marriage" in
order to account for the differences in every generation. This is
highly unlikely. <br>
<br>
With these concepts in view, most conservative Bible scholars assume
Luke is recording Mary's genealogy and Matthew is recording Joseph's.
Matthew is following the line of Joseph (Jesus' legal father), through
David's son Solomon, while Luke is following the line of Mary (Jesus'
blood relative), though David's son Nathan. There was no Greek word
for "son-in-law," and Joseph would have been considered a son of Heli
through marrying Heli's daughter Mary. Through either line, Jesus is a
descendant of David and therefore eligible to be the Messiah. Tracing
a genealogy through the mother's side is unusual, but so was the
virgin birth. Luke's explanation is that Jesus was the son of Joseph,
"so it was thought" (Luke 3:23).
answers6: Jesus never existed, everything you believe is a lie.
answers7: There is no contradiction actually. There were 35 names from
Yahweh to David and 35 names from Solomon to Jesus. It so happens that
in Matthew, on the king's seed, the father of Mary was named Joseph
too and the word husband should be written as father. So we have
Jacob, Joseph, Mary and Jesus. In Luke it was Matthat, Heli, then
Joseph, the husband of Mary.
answers8: at the starting up, enable's look on the origins of the
books of Luke and Matthew.. the books were written by utilizing
diverse human beings in diverse situations.. although both one among
them were given their resources from amassing witness money owed, no
longer by any prophetic visions.. so, it is envisioned that there'll
be some small incorrect information in the actual elements (yet no
longer the moral elements).. as an social gathering, in a unmarried
gospel, it is written on Jesus' flow "behold, the King of the jews" at
the same time as the different said "King of Jews" in elementary
words.. such small massive difference is envisioned once you're
amassing witness account.. for this reason in elementary words 4
maximum precise and consistent books out of thousands were chosen into
the bible.. although, the version in the lineage of Jesus isn't an
major one. does it remember if Joseph's father develop into Jacob or
Heli etc? none that i comprehend of. at the same time as the church
declares that there aren't any contradictions in the bible, she
develop into talking about the message in the back of the words..
subsequently, the message develop into "Jesus develop right into a
descendant of David".. it doesn't contradict with any area of the
bible this way, and that is what concerns more effective.. what
remember's even more effective is that Jesus' human ancestry bears no
magnitude in any respect compared to his religious ancestry, it really
is Him being the Son of the most extreme Lord! don't be puzzled over
such small conflict.. if can, ask a clergyman or catechist that can
help you out, he can clarify more effective.. :)

dance ? i love to dance and i wonder. .?

answers1: It sounds like you are just really passionate about dance.
You might find dance as a way to escape your troubles. I'm sort of
like that. If I'm really angry, maybe I'll dance around to a very
intense hip-hop song. If I'm sad, I don't dance but I just sway to a
pretty, slow song. You're not weird. It's good that you can express
yourself through dance. You should start dance classes. Then you'd
have a reason to dance all the time!! <br>
<br>
Dance gives me a sense of calm and confidence. I feel like I am the
best dancer there is when I just dance around in my bedroom. But, it
also helps me relax. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps!!
answers2: You're not weird! I love dance too! <br>
It's a wonderful art! <br>
<br>
Keep moving!
answers3: 1) Absolutely not. You are nowhere near weird^^ Dancing is
something to enjoy, not something that someone would call you weird
for. <br>
2) The way I feel about dancing is that it just clears a person's mind
from any kind of stress, but the nice thing is that people dance to
have fun! I do it all the time to any kind of music I cna find^^ I
just can't help dancing! >> << It's like something I crave all the
time XD

For slightly older books, I love Barbara Hambly's fantasy novels, and
yet she's one of the few authors out there who has zero fanfic written
for her work.
answers2: David Lubar, author of "Hidden Talents" and "True Talents" <br>
<br>
Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl series, "Half Moon
Investigations", and more.
answers3: Jim Butcher
answers4: John Green and Marcus Zusack are fantastic young adult
authors. They just don't get the credit for their novels like some
others do. <br>
I think it's unfortunate that authors like Stephenie Meyer get so much
money for their books when their are more than enough authors that
deserve the money but do not receive it. It's sad. <br>
<br>
Agreed ^ Scott Westerfeld is wonderful, as well.

What are some contemporary teen authors?

answers1: stephenie meyer-the twilight books are amazing <br>
i just finished elsewhere by gabrielle zevin,its definitely one of my favorites.
answers2: I totally agree with Stepehie meyer and the Twilight series.
They're amazing.
answers3: If you're looking for authors that are still in their teens
I'm not sure but if you're looking for authors that write teen fiction
I would definitely recommend Chris Crutcher. He writes "realistic"
fiction for teens and doesn't dumb it down. He's also not afraid to
tell it like it is.
answers4: flavia bujour is the only other teen fiction writer i can
think of <br>
(if you are looking for teens who write fiction, not YA fiction authors)
answers5: go to www.teenreads.com..on their click on authors, they
have tons listed..their bios, books they have written, etc....this is
a great website for finding books........I use bookreporter.com alot
for the same reasons.
answers6: S.E Hinton. Though she is not a teen anymore, she has
written a book when she was one.
answers7: Just looked at a site for Chris Wooding, and he had his
first book published at... hmm, 18 or 19. To me, that age is still a
teen. You can read about him at: <br>
<a href="http://www.chriswooding.com"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.chriswooding.com</a> <br>
Oh, and he definitely writes fiction.

How to cite a textbook in APA format, unknown author ?

answers1: Just put anon., that's what my teacher told me to do.
answers2: I imagine your textbook has an editor, someone who has
compiled the information in the textbook. Cite that reference exactly
as you would a book with an author, except (1.) write the editor's
name in place of the author's and (2.) write (Ed.) after the editor's
name using the parentheses, the capital letter, and the period just as
I have written it here. If the book has more than one editor, list
them as you would authors and write (Eds.) after the names. <br>
<br>
I write this answer from my experience as a college instructor who
taught this information until my retirement three years ago. APA can
change, so I will give you a site my students used to like. It is from
the Purdue University OWL, Online Writing Lab. A great deal of APA
information is available there. The second site is from the OWL also,
but it links to the specific page where editor citation information is
available. <br>
<br>
I hope this answer helps, and I wish you great success and reward in
your research.
answers3: <a href="http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/legacylib/apahcc.html"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/legacylib/apa...</a>
<br>
<br>
Look at what to do if there's an editor (if you have an editor) or at
no author. <br>
<br>
Also try <a href="http://www.easybib.com/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.easybib.com/</a> to do it for
you.

What Book Store name sounds best?

answers1: Carter's Books <br>
What difference is it going to make? <br>
What's a corner book?
answers2: Carter Books :) <br>
its nice and simple ;D
answers3: I like "Carter's Corner Books" or "Carter's Corner
Bookstore" sounds nice too. :-)
answers4: I like the last one only because it's the shortest. <br>
The first one is a definite no because it's too long and sounds
confusing. The second is okay in the fact that it makes more sense.
for some reason... <br>
Maybe something like Carter & Books <br>
or Carter's Books and co. (that makes it sound more official) <br>
Carter's Chapters <br>
or something like that.. (in my opinion)
answers5: Books from Carter's Corner

read a book or audio book?

answers1: Audio books can't be beat when you are having to do
something boring (like housework). Paper books are best when you can
give them your full attention.
answers2: The only time I think I would choose an audiobook over a
real one is for long drives. <br>
<br>
I think I wouldn't be able to sit and listen otherwise and I prefer
reading at my own pace and I get too distracted and would probably end
up tuning out what was being said.
answers3: buy the audio book. that way, more than one person can
"read" the book at the same time.
answers4: Read a book for goodness sake. When I listen to an audio
book I feel like a child who is either too young or too lazy to read.
answers5: BOOK <br>
<br>
please, please, please keep reading real books- and not just a thing
of the past.
answers6: Really depends on the book. If it's a kids book and you're
doing it for a family I'd say read because it makes it more personal.
If it's a trashy book that's for fun, I'd do audio because then you
can take it into the car etc. If it's a book that you actually need a
brain to read, you read it because a lot of the time subtleties get
lost on audio.
answers7: u can process more information if u read but comdies are
best heard. "Jay Leno's "Lead with my chin" is alright book but when
read by Jeno Leno the book really comes alive because comedy is about
timing.
answers8: I like audiobooks for long cross-country drives. Other than
that, nothing can beat being cuddled up in a squishy chair with a good
book in your hands.
answers9: both book or audio book like more

Why don't you read book anymore?

answers1: because i do alot of reading on here.
