His education career was a mixture of both theologian and statesman because he study law at the University of Paris. Beside that he also get exposed to Renaissance humanism that influenced by Erasmus and Jacques. Even though Calvin study law but he only do it for his father will, of wanting him to become a lawyer. However, throughout the course of his life, he is primarily focus on Renaissance humanism, influence by Erasmus and Jacques. This is a study that aimed to reform church and society base on classical and Christian antiquity which establish to return the Bible studied to its original language. Under this influence, Calvin studied the three main languages of ancient Christian such as Greek, Hebrew, and Latin, to prepare him for his intense study of the Scriptures. As a result of this, Calvin become the leading French Protestant Reformer and the most important figure in the second generation of the Protestant Reformation through his interpretation of Christianity (Calvin). Calvin publication of the Institutes reflected the findings of his biblical work, and make up the largest proportion of his work. The Institutes also help Calvin to gain some reputation among Protestant leaders. This get he invited to Geneva to teach Protestant to the people, but the citizen of that nation lack of enthusiasm for Protestantism and their resistance to religious...

...theorized is that perhaps Calvin’s lack of proper social behavior is what led him to the relationship he shares with Hobbes. Throughout the comic strip a topic that is noticeably obsolete is Calvin’s friends. Calvin doesn’t just play with Hobbes as a stuffed tiger, he instead uses him to fill a void that is the place of a friend. He plays sport, goes on adventures, has ‘sleepovers’, and even does his homework with Hobbes. In every strip where the scene could have potentially been between him and a friend Watterson instead chose to place Hobbes. One character that Watterson does choose to introduce though is a girl named Susie Derkins. It can be noted that Susie was the only main character with both a first and last name. The relationship between Calvin and Susie can be described as them being juvenile frenemies, yet at the same time they are both evidently aware that they do in fact like each other. Political statements...

...Of the three reformation era theologians: Richard Hooker, Martin Luther, and John Calvin, Hooker is the one that best reflects Biblical Christianity. His primary contribution to theology is the realization that although the Bible is authoritative oh how we are to live and love each other, there are many areas that Bible does not directly address. As such it is not the sole authority on all matters (Strauss & Cropsey, p. 358). Unlike many of his peers, Hooker realized that even saved humans needed to reason and wrestle with the scripture to find and fulfil their political and moral duties matters (Strauss & Cropsey, p. 360). God himself, Hooker proclaims, is a God of reason, whose commands are reasonable and not arbitrary (Strauss & Cropsey, p. 359). In Philippians, Paul instructs believers with knowledge of scripture that they are to work out their salvation with “fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12, New American Standard Version) encouraging believers to search and seek out the Spirit of God in applying the biblical truths instead of assuming that all of everyone’s answers fall readily from the page. In addition Isaiah, speaks of God calling people to reason with Him in accepting his offer of salvation (Isaiah 1:18). Modeling for us that even the only one worthy to demand blind obedience is unwilling to do so in order that people might truly engage in trust in Him. John Calvin had a less scripturally accurate view of theology than Hooker. Although he rightly insisted on...

...Reading Response 6 Calvin Tomkins, “Christo’s Public Art: How to Win Friends, Outlast Enemies, and Make the Social Structure Work for You in Northern California,” is about the artist Christo and his Running Fence project. The project took place in Marin County, California and consisted of a shimmering white cloth that acted like a fence but rippled in the wind. The fence route ran through Marin County and down the coast into the ocean. When the nylon had been pulled as far as it would go into the ocean, Christo talked to Don Dickenson, of the Marin County Planning Department because Christo had been working in the forbidden coastal zone, which was a violation to the Coastal Commission. Christo has gone outside the normal art world to put all his time in projects that have no market for. It is projects only made for viewers to observe and not to buy. His projects only alter the environment only briefly before they are taken down. Christo creates public art and the involvement and the whole process is the crucial and most important part of the project. When Christo tried explaining the project to the Ranchers in which the fence would cross their land, he stated that it was a fence without function and a celebration of the landscape. I have seen a documentary on this project in one of my other classes and didn’t understand the project as much as I do now after reading Calvin Tomkins writing on the project. I didn’t understand the point of the fence on the coast at all and...

...light compared to dark is 100% better overall. The chloroplasts grana were very distored and the chroloplast also had wierd boundries between the thylakyoids. In conclusion of this experiment, they were able to indicate that the seedlings that were placed in the light had a higher photosynthic performance, and with a normal ultrastructre and organized grana. The article that i've chosen relates to Chapter 7: Photosynthesis. The structure and fuction of the chroloplast is very important to the growth of a plant. The grana that were observed in the experiment look very wierd and distorted compared to the ones in the powerpoint handout. The grana in a well developed chloroplast are very well structred. This helps the light reactions and calvin cycle, abling it to produce ATP efficiently. I choose this article because I thought it was intresting to find that even the way food seedlings are stored, can have an overall affect on the growth and development, weather its a negative or postive effect. Some new information that I have learned from this article was that high photosynthetic ability during storage helps the growth of the seedlings after storage. Meaning the photosynthesis performance overall of the watermellon seedling has a great amount to do with the storage process. I also learned the purpose of seedling storage. It is to help stop or slow the growth of a seedling, while perserving the quality for future growth. Some questions that raised from reading this article were:...

...How far were the policies of the Republican Party the main reason for America’s economic success in the 1920’s [50 marks] Although America remained neutral and did not join World War One until 1917, they were already increasing their country’s profits by selling goods such as: weapons, food, equipment and other ammunition to both sides of the war. During World War One, as well as selling goods, America became ‘the banker’ to the rest of the world: loaning countries money at a very high interest. According to the First World War commissions “Britain, France and Italy owed the USA $22 billion plus interest”, this is showing that USA was at a very stable place financially even before the 1920s began. When the war ended Woodrow Wilson put forward his 14 Points which included a League of Nations. The League of Nations’ overall aim was to prevent war from breaking out again. America’s congress at the time decided that it would be best for America in the long run not to join the League of Nations because, congress believed that the USA should not interfere in any European or world affairs. Refusal to join the League of Nations made America an isolationist country. When Warren G. Harding won the presidential election and became president in 1921 a political party called the Republicans took over from the Democrats and the American government. 1920s America was known as the ‘Roaring twenties’ because of the entertainment and the crazes sweeping the country. There were lots of...

...Zachary Shelsby List and describe the causes of the stock market crash of 1929. Was the crash inevitable? Explain using examples from the presidencies of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. It was the time of the Roaring Twenties; where in the wake of the War jazz music was becoming prominent, Art Deco became popular, and cultural dynamism was emphasized. The twenties also led the United States into unprecedented industrial growth, inventions and discoveries of major importance, as well as significant changes in US lifestyle and culture. Though must prosperity was achieved during the Roaring Twenties, much despair would follow by the end of them. The 1920’s saw an increase in consumer spending as well as a large increase in economic growth. The 1920’s was also an era dominated by Republicans. The Republicans took a rather conservative approach to the economy. They forged tight and close relationships between government and big business. President Warren Harding took the White House in 1921, when the United States economy was seeing the time of a depression. Runaway inflation and a high unemployment rate swept the nation. At the time of World War I the United States economy enjoyed prosperity because of the agricultural industry. With the increase of demand came the increase of prices. With the increase of prices came the increase of output used to supply Europe. With the conclusion of the War the American agricultural industry had a massive surplus of farm goods that by...

...century. According to Calvin, predestination meant that God, acting of his own free will, elects some people to be saved and others to be damned – thus, the individual has no control over his own ultimate fate. This doctrine was the source of great controversy because it was seen by the so-called anti-Calvinists to limit man's free will in regard to faith and salvation, and to present a dilemma in terms of theodicy. At the time Doctor Faustus was performed, this doctrine was on the rise in England, and under the direction of Puritan theologians at Cambridge and Oxford had come to be considered the orthodox position of the Church of England.[20] Nevertheless, it remained the source of vigorous and, at times, heated debate between Calvinist scholars, such as William Whitaker and William Perkins, and anti-Calvinists, such as William Barrett and Peter Baro.[21] The dispute between these Cambridge intellectuals had quite nearly reached its zenith by the time Marlowe was a student there in the 1580s, and likely would have influenced him deeply, as it did many of his fellow students.[22] Concerning the fate of Faustus, the Calvinist concludes that his damnation was inevitable. His rejection of God and subsequent inability to repent are taken as evidence that he never really belonged to the elect, but rather had been predestined from the very beginning for reprobation.[23] In his Chiefe Points of Christian Religion, Theodore Beza, the successor to John Calvin,...

...The Underlying Courage in “A Wrinkle in Time” Typically in novels there are many supporting themes to create the storyline in the novel; in “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeline L’Engle a major theme in the novel is courage. It shows in almost every chapter, through Margaret (Meg) Murry and Charles Wallace Murry. The quest the kids go through in the novel corresponds to Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s journey also the type of courage found within the Christian framework. Courage is having the strength to resist and endure fear, danger, and difficulty; it is the main thing that can keep the children together on the journey. In the very beginning, of the novel, Meg is the first to display courage. She does so by defending her little brother, Charles Wallace’s name, because “…one of the boys had said something about her “dumb baby brother” at this she’d thrown her books…and tackled him with every ounce of strength she had” (L’Engle 4). Even though all the characters portray some type of courage, Meg shows the most throughout the novel. Meg’s personality, in the beginning, was a little off, as she was still trying to find out who she was and how her quirks are her strengths and how it makes her who she is. Her parents, before her father left, have been trying to prepare her for the greater things she has to overcome in the future by giving her IQ tests and teaching her complicated mathematics which caused disruptive problems in her class. Even though she thought she was dumb, which is not...

...been shamed”, but “became again a virgin. Seemed, I said, because it was never defiled.” Because the soul endured unwilled sufferings, they are not real defilements. Philo makes Simeon and Levi the heroes of the story, while Dinah remains in her virtue (94). Parry also quotes Calvin: “Dinah is ravished, because, having left her father’s house, she wandered about more freely than is proper. She ought to have remained quietly at home as both the Apostle teaches and nature itself dictates; for to girls the virtue is suitable which the proverb applies to women, that they should be…keepers of the house” (107). Calvin goes on to condemn Simeon and Levi, but he obviously had a problem with the “loose” Dinah. Perry asks whether...

...John Calvin was born in France on July 10, 1509. He was raised in a very faithful Roman Catholic household. Calvin’s father had a job in the local Cathedral as an administrator working for the confined bishop in that area at the time.

...U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Laws: Small Business During his presidency the 1920’s, President Calvin Coolidge was famously quoted as saying, “After all, the chief business of the American people is business” . Over ninety years later, this quote still has merit. America is a country that was built on small businesses and continues to survive because of them. Small businesses currently employ close to half of American jobs and are responsible for a majority of job creation . Although small businesses must comply with government laws and regulations in order to operate legally in the United States, there are some exceptions to the rule. The Equal Employment Opportunity Committee states that, “Not all employers are covered by the laws we enforce, and not all employees are protected. This can vary depending on the type of employer, the number of employees it has, and the type of discrimination alleged”. More specific to small businesses, “If a complaint against a business (or some other private employer) involves race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, disability or genetic information, the business is covered by the laws we enforce if it has 15 or more employees who worked for the employer for at least twenty calendar weeks (in this year or last)”. In regards to age discrimination, an employer must have less than 20 employees to be exempt from this law (US EEOC , 2009). The Equal Employment Opportunity...
