Goheen and Bartholomew’s - Living at the Crossroads

There have been many books written on Christian Worldview in the past years (worldview). However, what makes Living at the Crossroads stand out from the others is its mission-centred focus and its defined setting within the biblical story.

Introduction

The Taming of the Shrew is one of the Shakespearean plays that are not traditionally taught in English courses.

The induction scene is an important part of this play because it shows how important different senses, particularly sight, are to humans. The induction scene begins with a drunken ...

Watson appreciates the test from a chemical point of view, but fails to see any practical utilization of it. His doubts are quickly shattered by Holmes’s explanation of the test’s significance in a crime investigation as he points out that: “had this test been invented, there are hundreds of men now walking the earth who would long ago have paid the penalty of their crimes” (Doyle, ASIS 16). Given the fact that branches of Forensics medicine such as blood stain pattern analysis or forensics toxicology arose in the second half of the nineteenth century (“forensic medicine”), Holmes is a fictional ...
