The story of salvation,especially the life of Jesus, forms the basis through which many Christians encounter the eternal. Indeed, each facetof Christ is intricately intertwined with the others and that Christian literature often focuses on redefining variousfigures in the image of Christ and on illustrating morality. Without disparaging in any way the story of Jesus Christ,this paper parallels the conceptualization of epic heroism and the narrative of Jesus Christ. In doing this, the articleprovides a critical exegesis of elements of epic heroism in the story of Christ. Ultimately, reading the story of JesusChrist through the prism of epic heroism helps us submit that it is a ＂tale of Christian identity＂ comparable to theepic identity and able to eonvey eternal meaning to Christian groups who recognize it as ＂their story of salvation＂.展开更多

True to the Hebrew meaning of his name, Satan poses appropriately as a grand ＂Adversary＂ （I 629; II 282） to ＂wage by force or guile eternal war＂ （I 121） against God. The poet has deliberately built up a parallel between Satan and Christ the Son, who is the commander-in-chief of the angelic army. With ＂Almighty arms / Gird on, and Sword upon [his] puissant Thigh＂ （VI 713-14）, the Son certainly makes an impressive figure of warrior-general. Satan＇s stance as the ＂idol of majesty divine＂ is really extraordinary. During the War in Heaven, he does show superhuman courage and strength; his ability to change his bodily form has no doubt increased his potential as a warrior. Furthermore, he commands a highly disciplined army, surpassing by far the best troops in human history. All this seems to indicate Satan as a great hero. Even before God proclaims the Son to be raised ＂by merit＂ to the position of＂second omnipotence＂ （III 309）, Milton has already made it clear to the reader that Satan, too, is ＂by merit rais＇d / To that bad eminence＂ （II 5-6）. This ambivalent merit of Satan has incurred heated controversy among the critics. The present paper will set out to analyze the encounter between Satan and the Son in Paradise Lost, in an effort to determine the true meaning of heroism.展开更多

Ten marker compounds were simultaneously quantified, including 5-caffeoylquinic acid （5-CQA）, 3-caffeoylquinic acid （3-CQA）, 4-caffeoylquinic acid （4-CQA）, 1-caffeoylquinic acid （1-CQA）, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid （3,5-diCQA）, 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid （4,5-diCQA）, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid （3,4-diCQA）, astragalin, kaempferol-3,7-di-O-glucoside and （±）eriodictyol-7-O-β-D-glucuronide. Chromatography was performed on a Kromasil 100-2.5C18 （100 mm×2.1 mm, 2.5 μm） C18 column with gradient elution. The mobile phases consisted of 0.1% formic acid/water （A） and 0.1% formic acid/methanol （B）. The detection wavelength was set at 326 nm and the flow rate was 0.4 mL/min. Ten components were separated well with good linearity （r2〉0.9998）, precision, repeatability, stability. The recovery was in the range of 99.08%-102.77%. The results showed that the content determination using RP-UFLC-DAD fingerprint technique provides an efficient, sensitive, accurate and rapid analytical method for quality assessment ofP. petiolosa （Christ） Ching. Cluster analysis and principal components analysis were successfully applied to analyze 20 samples, the results revealed that the method was efficient and authentic to distinguish producing areas and the source of P. petiolosa （Christ） Ching.

The content of the statement is obtained by a presentation of the theme in a wide spectrum of writings and pronouncements made by Pope John Paul II who led the Catholic Church from 1978 to 2005, and who is considered to be one of the most prominent voices regarding human dignity and existential issues in contemporary times. Contemplating the crucified and risen Christ enables Christians to talk about a new meaning to suffering as well as of a ＂Gospel of suffering＂. The article enters into themes such as the human predicament when faced with suffering, the mission of those who suffer and solidarity with the suffering.展开更多

The Jewish concept of shalom and its concrete experience entail harmony with nature, with oneself, with others and with God. This article delves into the Hebrew scriptural foundations of Christianity＇s teachings about peace, and then proceeds to give an overview of some of the key references to the same theme in the New Testament. A number of key affirmations about peace and its various aspects were made during the Second Vatican Council （1962-1965）. These were followed by several official statements made by the Popes in their annual World Day of Peace Messages since 1968 The Christian concept of peace offers a number of practical applications which can be embraced by all men and women of good will, namely the creation of a purified mentality, as well as a sincere pedagogy of dialogue.展开更多

Various factors affect the decline in crop productivity. Where weeds are the most important reasons that cause a huge loss in crop productivity. Studying agricultural ecosystems, knowing their components and explaining the relationship between all of their components, helps a lot in achieving the highest productivity of different crops in addition to benefiting from some types of weeds, as well as, identifying appropriate methods to control the growth of weeds. In this study, 60 species were listed. The most frequent plant families were Asteraceae, Poaceae and Zygophyllaceae. Annuals were the most common life span, as well as, therophytes were the most frequent life form. The most frequent floristic categories were Saharo-Sindian-Sudano-Zambezian and Saharo-Sindian regions. The most famous indicators of biodiversity (species richness, species evenness and species diversity) have been calculated. For managing and classifying data PC-ORD program (TWINSPAN and DCA analyses) was used.展开更多
