... Biblical Archeology has helped in supporting the historicity of the Bible. Not that archaeology proves or disapproves the Bible – this it does not, it only supports the history of the Bible. One of the discoveries that support the biblical historicity is the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Dead Sea Scrolls came from eleven caves, mined over the course of seven years, over 15,000 documents supporting biblical historicity have been unearthed at Qumran. One of the archeologist that played an important part in this discovery was Yigael Yadin of Israel. Yadin, not only contributed to the discovery and research of the Dead Sea Scrolls more than any other archeologist, but he also unearthed mysteries surrounding the history of Israel at Masada, Hazor and Tel Megiddo. He was not just an archeologist but he had a public life and military life to make him more of a person of interest. Even though Yadin died, his contributions will be remembered for years to come and will encourage others to continue where he left off. He will be missed greatly in the archaeological field. Hopefully, others will continue his work and continue to excavate different sites in order to find more useful and interesting discoveries of biblical nature. In this paper, we will review who he was, his life as well as his achievements and contributions in the archeological field. We will see that Yigael Yadin was truly an archeologist in every sense of the word – he lived archeology, he studied it and...

...Jesus christ .In 1988 test continue to be debated.Despite some concerns have been raised about radiocarbon dating of the Shroud most experts assert that it is dependable,another way of explaining it is In 2002, a team of experts did restoration work, such as removing the patches from 1534 and replacing the backing cloth. One of the specialists was Swisss textile historian Mechthild Flury Lemberg. She was surprised to find a peculiar stitching pattern in the seam of one long side of the Shroud, where a three inch wide of the same original fabric was sewn onto a larger segment. The stitching pattern, which she says was the work of a professional, is quite similar to the hem of a cloth found in the tombs of the Jewish fortress of Masada. The Masada cloth dates to between 40 BC and 73 AD.This kind of stitch has never been found in Medieval...

...water is received from the Jordan River, but other small rivers pay a contribution as well. The waters of the Dead Sea contain 24.6 per cent. of mineral salts; thus they are unusually buoyant. The region within the Dead Sea was once a lush area, but the result of Sodom and Gomorrah left the place as a further representation of sin in the world (Deut. 29:23). Nothing living can exist in this sea. It’s mention can be found throughout Genesis, Joshua, Ezekiel, and other chapters throughout the Old and New Testament. The Dead Sea is home to some significant events which took place in the Bible. It is the location where Abraham fought in war. It is where Davis fled to from King Saul and where Ezekiel received his some of his visions. The story of Masada was also recorded as being near by. And lastly, it is the place where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. ...

... The reasons and solutions will likewise be disclosed in other to comprehend why these assaults happen. A conclusion will finally be introduced to summarize the essay. The scope The first known association that showed qualities of a present day terrorist affiliation was the Zealots of Judea. Referred to the Romans as sicarii, or blade men, they carried on an underground operation to kill the Roman occupation powers, and any Jews they felt had coordinated with the Romans. The association felt they couldn't stay faithful to Judaism principles while living as Roman subjects. At last, the Zealot resistance got to be open for interested parties to join. At long last, they were assaulted and forced to commit mass suicide at the strong hold of Masada. From that point forward, a few terrorist operations have happened in Africa and the world. Terrorism is a delicate subject in our day today; a considerable measure of setbacks has occurred as a result of terrorist attacks. Various definitions have been given to the expression "terrorism". Premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents” as defined by CIA (Central Intelligence Agency ). Likewise, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has characterized terrorism as, " the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social...

...This year’s theme, appropriately, is ‘Taking a Stand in History.’ For my topic, I wanted to do something related to Jewish History. There are countless examples throughout history of Jews taking a stand against injustice. At Masada, demonstrating that some principles are worth dying for, Jews chose mass suicide as the alternative to being killed or enslaved by the Romans; Jews were heavily involved in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960’s. But I was drawn to the many stories of the Jews and non-Jews who took a stand against the Nazi’s during World War II. My favorite of these stories (and the topic of my National History Day project) is the story of the...

...PSY 487: Final Paper Lisa Maiorana Spring 2014 What is terrorism and why is it a part of our global society? Terrorism is often the result of some type of social or economic injustice, such as poverty, the unemployment rate, government-imposed restrictions on individual freedoms, and a lack of order or morality. For most Americans, the words “terrorist” or “terrorism,” instantly triggers a flashbulb memory of where they were when the Twin Towers fell on that fateful day, September 11, 2001. Many people continue to struggle with the notion that there are groups out there, brought together by their unanimous hatred for Americans. The 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon is arguably the most disastrous act of terrorism of all time, forcing Americans and the rest of the world to see the threat of terrorism in a new light (Borum, 2003). The 20th and 21st centuries saw new developments in technology that may have changed the game of terrorism, however, extremist ideology and justification of violence, is not a new political strategy (“Terrorism in the,”). Rebel groups have been establishing roots and sprouting up all over the world since the beginning of human history (*CITE #3). The formation of such groups has occurred across centuries, but the term “terrorism” wasn’t coined until the 18th century, during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Revolutionary officials—referred to as terrorists—and their subordinates, enforced the policies of “The Terror...

...Name: Gbadamosi Oluwaseyi Mat. No.: 11/sms11/017 Dept.: Intelligence and security studies Submitted to: Dr. Bodunde Question: America has no peace, it only manages peace. Evaluate this statement with particular reference to the international system. ABSTRACT The topic of terrorism is quite complex. It is complex because it combines so many different aspects of human experience, including subjects such as politics, psychology, philosophy, military strategy, and history, to name a few. Terrorism is also emotive both because experiences of terrorist acts arouse tremendous feelings, and because those who see terrorists as justified often have strong feelings concerning the rightness of the use of violence. Terrorism is not a new phenomenon in human experience. Violence has been used throughout human history by those who chose to oppose states, kings, and princes. This sort of violence can be differentiated from what is termed as terrorism. Violence in opposition to a government is often targeted against soldiers and those who govern. Terrorism, however, is characterized by the use of violence against civilians, with the expressed desire of causing terror or panic in the population. Terrorism is not unique to the 20th and 21st centuries. Terrorism existed in 18th century revolutionary France during the reign of terror, as well as among the Zealots of Palestine in opposition to Roman rule some 2000 years ago. Today, terrorist activity can be found in Israel, Indonesia, United...

...ELİF PİŞKİN 2824010068 İSRAİL – SURİYE İLİŞKİLERİ Suriye’nin bölgedeki geleneksel düşmanı, topraklarının bir kısmını işgal eden ve askeri güç olarak üstün olan İsrail’in varlığı Suriye’yi her zaman kaygılandırmıştır. Suriye’nin dış politika oluşumunda İsrail, merkezci bir rol oynamaktadır. Hatta Suriye’nin bölgedeki aktörlerle ilişkisi, kurduğu stratejik ortaklıkların hemen hepsi İsrail’den kaynaklanan güvenlik tehdidine bağlıdır. Bu çerçevede Suriye; İran, Hamas, Hizbullah, İslami Cihad gibi İsrail karşıtı unsurlarla yakın ilişkide bulunmuştur. Suriye ile İsrail arasında ilişkilerin kötü olmasının altında iki temel sorun yatmaktadır. Bunlar : Golan Tepeleri ve Lübnan Sorunu’dur. İsrail ile ilişkiler ve Filistin Sorunu, 1967 yılındaki Altı Gün Savaşı’ndan sonra Suriye bakımından ulusal bir soruna dönüşmüştür. Filistin Sorunu’nu ve İsrail ile çatışmayı halk nezdinde meşruiyet kazanma aracı olarak kullanan Suriye, Filistin’i Suriye’den koparılmış bir toprak parçası olarak değerlendirmiştir. Golan Tepelerini de İsrail’e kaptıran Suriye, İsrail ile mücadelesini ülkesel bütünlük adına yapmak durumunda kalmıştır. Suriye, İsrail ile ilişkilerini normalleştiren bütün bölgesel ve küresel aktörleri ötekileştirmiştir. Örneğin, 1977 yılında Sedat’ın Kudüs’e yaptığı ziyareti kınamış, Camp David Düzeni’ni kabul etmeyerek Mısır’a karşı Irak’la birlik görüşmeleri yapmaya başlamıştır. 1967 Altı Gün Savaşı’nda İsrail tarafından işgal edilen ve 1981 yılında ilhak edilen, stratejik...

Miller Student # 25014254 March 3, 2013 Contents Introduction 3 Alexander the Great and His Conquests (331-320 BC) 4 The Ptolemaic Period (320-198 BC) 7 The Seleucids (198-167 BC) 9 The Maccabees (167-135 BC) 11 The Hasmoneans (135-63 BC) 12 The Roman Period (63 BC-70 AD) 13 Herodian Dynasty 14 Bibliography 16 Introduction The Intertestament Period is the period between the books of Malachi and Matthew. This period is sometimes called the “quiet years” when in fact it was anything but quiet. This was a time of 400 years of war, destruction and dramatic change in the eastern ancient world. At this time, there were not any prophets that were sent by God. God was quiet and had not spoken to anyone to be a voice for His people. The changes during this time that faced the ancient world began with Alexander the Great. The Grecian or Hellenistic Period began with Alexander the Great. This paper’s significant event will focus on Alexander the Great and his crusades and how it affected the Jew. I will then focus on different kingdoms and their ruler ship during the Intertestamental Period. Alexander the Great and His Conquests (331-320 BC) Alexander the Great was born in 356 BCE. His father was King Phillip of Macedonia; his mother was Princess Olympia of Epirus. Alexander had always...

...Disorder Specific Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Interventions – WHM-M-030 Introduction The purpose of the paper is to discuss the current theory and empirical literature for using a transdiagnostic approach in cognitive behaviour therapy and it’s relevance in current practice. I will discuss the theory and evidence for using a transdiagnostic approach and highlight the main processes. A discussion on the strengths and limitations of the approach will conclude the first part of the paper. The second part will be a review of personal clinical work discussing the transdiagnostic process and its hypothesised effectiveness. To conclude the author will provide a personal reflection. There has been a long widely accepted claim for the effectiveness of CBT with prolific amount of evidence for it’s effectiveness for Depression, Anxiety and Mood disorders (Roth & Fongy, 1995) Models such as cognitive therapy for depression (Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979), panic disorder (Clark, 1986,), posttraumatic stress disorder (Clark & Ehlers, 2004); and obsessive-compulsive disorder (Salkovskis, 1989) have led to disorder-specific interventions for treating common mental health problems. The benefits of devising a model on specific disorders is the high degree of research and comparable data involved; from that the therapist will be highly trained in the use of the model to deliver the approach for each disorder (Salkovskis 2002). Disorder specific models are seen to be easily delivered...
