We contend that Paul consciously alludes to Deut. 9-10; 29-30 and to Jer. 31:30-34 in Rom. 2:1-16. These allusions shape and inform Paul’s discourse and, therefore, provide a new approach to old exegetical questions, such as, the rhetorical nature of vv. 6-11 and whether vv. 13-16 refer to ‘Gentile Christians’. On the basis of our intertextual approach we assert that: (1) Romans 2 is essentiall...

The 19 century Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard was a profoundly religious thinker. He is also regarded as the father of Existentialism, one of the most important philosophical movements of the 20 century. The term ‘existentialist’ is applied to those philosophers, like Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, who held that the foundation of all philosophical thought is to be found in the actual,...

Paintings can be interpreted as the product of the complex neural machinery that translates physical light signals into behavior, experience, and emotion. The brain mechanisms responsible for vision and perception have been sculpted during evolution and further modified by cultural exposure and development. By closely examining artists' paintings and practices, we can discover hints to how the ...

It has recently been proposed that the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress), uses a newly discovered genetic repair system to repair errors at the genetic level. A. thaliana uses information from the grandparent’s genes as a basis for this correction – so genetic information appears to skip a generation. We apply this gene repair strategy to a combinatory optimization problem, firstl...

According to Paul Erdős [Some notes on Turán’s mathematical work, J. Approx. Theory 29 (1980), page 4] it was Paul Turán who “created the area of extremal problems in graph theory”. However, without a doubt, Paul Erdős popularized extremal combinatorics, by his many contributions to the field, his numerous questions and conjectures, and his influence on discrete mathematicians in Hungary and al...
