1. What are the “stages of social development” that Finkelstein and Silberman suggest are necessary for the Pentateuch to have been written.

Archeologists contend that the bible is such a complex book that it could not have been written during the primitive times described in Genesis and other early stories. As a consequence, bible scholars are questioning the authenticity of Biblical stories in terms of where and when the stories were written. It is plausible that the Bible as we know it is the literary product of scribes and other writers of a period in history when it was possible to document historical accounts of the patriarchs.

Finkelstein and Silberman argue that much of the archeological evidence available from biblical excavations reveal artifacts that ...

Judaism absolutely believes that everything that happened to the nation of Israel is only by the power of the Almighty God, and this passage clearly ...

The largest Baptist sect in the world, and the largest collection of Protestants in the United States, it ranks second only to the Catholic Church in terms of the number of Christian believers in the United States. Its history is rooted in the racist troubles of the American South, though, as it split off from the Baptists in the northern part of the country in 1845, in a disagreement about the morality of slavery. Once the Civil War ended, the black ...

The Perfect Forms

Plato’s theory of perfect forms was meant to solve several problems. Among the problems the theory was supposed to solve were: how could human beings have a fulfilling and happy life in a world where they can lose everything they are attached to, and how the world would be both permanent and dynamic. Plato split existence into two; the material and transcendent realm of forms in order to solve these problems. Plato argues that the forms are transcendent in that they only exist in space and time, they are pure to mean they are separated other properties, they represent perfect ...

Even though slave marriages were not allowed in the Southern States, some historians argue that slave owners often encouraged monogamous relationships in the slave community in order to make them exercise control over these slaves. They considered that a married slave was less likely to show rebellion or run away to leave their beloved family behind, considered to a single slave. Nevertheless, these families experienced rapes, whipping and were often separated through the sale of the wives and children. Despite these factors, the family retained its traditional functions, majorly child rearing: the family ensured that children were brought up, even though ...
