High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Richard Hooker (March 1554 – 3 November 1600) was an Anglican priest and an influential theologian. Hooker's emphases on reason, tolerance and the value of tradition considerably influenced the development of Anglicanism.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Christianity propagated throughout the Roman Empire for several reasons, many of which helped the eventual integration and succession of the Roman polytheistic society, to the last major final transition of Rome, asserting itself as monotheistic Christian/Catholic society. For the inhabitants of the Roman Empire, it was fairly easy to move about. The Romans built excellent roads called viae and not only did these well engineered roads connect major cities, but they were generally centrally placed in the countryside for army travel and used for civilian alike. Though Latin was the official language of the Roman Empire, Greek was the primary language used near the fall of Rome. There were common...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ritual washing, or ablution, takes two main forms in Judaism: tevilahfull body immersion in a mikvah, and netilat yadayim, washing the hands with a cup. The first written records for these practices are found in the Hebrew Bible, and are elaborated in the Mishnah and Talmud. They have been codified in various codes of Jewish law and tradition, such as Maimonides's Mishneh Torah (12th century) and Joseph Karo's Shulchan Aruch (16th century.) These customs are most commonly observed within Orthodox Judaism. In Conservative Judaism, the practices are normative with certain leniencies and exceptions.

Marital suspicion remains a complex issue that generates dysfunctional relationship in modern society just as it was in antiquity. Ancient people dealt with it by using different ordeals such as the one described in Num 5:11-31. The current work aims to clarify the purpose of the ritual of Num 5:11-31. Contrary to the fear, humiliation, abortion, and metaphorical views that assign the ordeal a negative role, this work sides with the view assuming that it played a positive role in the Israelite community by protecting the accused woman. The study expands this view by suggesting that the ordeal was a divine ritual that protected not only the suspected woman but the entire Israelite community. This stance is based on the analysis of the...
