View 2 - What''s the Context? (Interpretation) What is the story behind the story? What was the cultural and social background of the people who were addressed? Do we find terms in the scripture that were commonplace to people of the day...but unfamiliar to us? What were the events that took place prior to the passage? Exploring all of the background information that envelops a Bible verse can improve our understanding. View 3 - What''s Next?

What was distinctive about Christian biography in late antiquity? In this book, Dr Williams examines a range of biographies of prominent Christians written in the fourth and fifth centuries, and suggests that they share a purpose and function which sets them apart from their non-Christian equivalents. This was an age in which the lives of saints first emerged as a literary phenomenon, and a broad perspective on this developing genre is complemented by close readings of more problematic works such as Eusebius of Caesarea''s Life of Constantine and the Confessions of Augustine of Hippo. In including such idiosyncratic examples, the aim is to provide a definition of Christian biography which extends beyond mere hagiography, and which expresses an understanding of the world and the place of individuals within it. It was a world in which lives might be authored by Christians, but could be authorised only by God.

What would you do if the country you called home, and the state you loved growing up and collecting memories in, had changed so much, as to no longer be recognizable? What might you do if it changed into a nightmare? To what lengths would you go to get out loved ones trapped behind? In his new novel, A Blue State, set in a politically dystopian near future, author Michael Williams takes readers on a journey into a new era of civil, political, and state division within America. Drastic change has come to Daniel Hanson''s beloved home state of Minnesota, as the post-pandemic litigation events of 2023 divide the country into two factions: conservative states still identifying as the United States of America; and the more liberal states, who have left the union to form the Enlightened States of America (ESA). The intermixing of countries works for a while, until one of the countries becomes much better off economically, with vast more freedoms and less restrictions, than the other. Minnesota, as part of the new ESA, has become a place of lawlessness and corrupt socialism. Now residing in Tennessee - which still identifies as a part of the old United States - Daniel has built a good life with family and friends. But, the news of things going from bad to worse in the ESA Minnesota compel Daniel to make a last, desperate journey to save his sister and niece from the dying freedoms and terrors found back in his old home.
