The New Testament is therefore a library of sources gathered together into what we call a canon, a set of texts considered authoritative by some religious group. A council of Christian church leaders set the New Testament canon in its current form in the 4th century CE. It is the second part of a larger collection of sacred scriptures.
The New Testament is a collection of 27 books originally written in Koine or "common" Greek, the functional, nonliterary language of the day. These books were composed in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE by a number of authors and in a variety of genres (kinds or types of literary compositions).
The first part is the Hebrew Bible, called the Old Testament by Christians, and together the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament make up the Christian Bible for Protestant Christians.
The Hebrew Bible provides some of the historical background and theological foundation for the books of the New Testament, and many key themes, figures, and events from the Hebrew Bible appear and are transformed in the writings of the New Testament.
It's blocked at my university and I was just wondering what the general consensus is about this website. Happy Saturday.
Just curious. I don’t have a surname; my name is in the form [given name] [child of] [father’s name], and I publish as [given name] [father’s name]. What do other people do?

I am attending my first conference this week, and yesterday I attended a poster session and stopped by one that belonged to an RA of a lab quite similar to mine. I was pretty excited to meet someone that's more of a "colleague" to me, since most attendees are professors/postdocs/PhD students and I was quite overwhelmed.
So this week I successfully completed my master's thesis and I'm preparing myself for the defence that scheduled to take place in a couple of days. I was going over my paper and I noticed two mistakes re the interpretation of a the P-value under a null hypothesis in my paper.
I apologise for the melodrama - but I literally have no idea. Currently, I'm trying to put together an 1000-word proposal to apply for grad school, stating the research aims, significance, structure etc. for my prospective PhD. On the face of it, this shouldn't be too hard. And I've done well in research tasks before. But I am struggling.
Hello everyone! I'm a current undergraduate student studying physics and math, but planning to continue into grad school by studying atmospheric science. I'm strongly considering a career in academia as I believe I would love the balance between performing research and teaching students.
Joseph was 17 the first time he had his dreams about ruling over his family. We can read in the bible though the dream wasn’t about being their king or boss, as his brothers misinterpreted it. No, bowing before Joseph, in the dream, didn’t mean he was going to be the king of Israel or the leader of the family. The dreams meant that Joseph was going to be divinely placed in a position with the power and the influence to save Israel, not only as a family, but as a future nation.

Peter. When preachers describe the Apostle Peter, they speak of him as if he was a caveman. The caveman from the insurance ad looks smarter than Peter to some preachers, before the anointing of the Holy Spirit of course. But, I believe I can prove that Peter was actually a very smart, experienced, businessman.
Moses. According to the modern school of ministry, Moses was an insecure loser. According to our political system, Moses was an exiled total loser. According to himself, at one point of his life, Moses was an undeserving, unwilling to cooperate, coward loser.
