		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Hellenism&#8221;, the noun for Greek idiom or spirit and &#8220;Hellenization&#8221;, the intransitive verb, are terms that are used so diversely in different contexts by different disciplines such that no substantive nor consistent meaning can be ascribed to the term&#8217;s content. Martin Hengel (1974, I:2) attributes the significance the term &#8220;Hellenism&#8221; now bears, to the work of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=manwithoutqualities.com&#038;blog=1061624&#038;post=201&#038;subd=manwithoutqualities&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Plato&#8217;s simile of light &#8211; the images of the Sun, the Divided Line and the Cave are outlined in the Republic at the close of Book VI and at the beginning of Book VII.

		<description><![CDATA[I This well-worn question needs to be re-analyzed into the following three subsidiary questions. First, for what reasons did the government (i.e. the organs of state, broadly speaking, the emperor, the senate, officials, and provincial governors) persecute? Secondly, for what reasons did ordinary pagans (i.e. the general populace) demand persecution? Thirdly, we need to examine [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=manwithoutqualities.com&#038;blog=1061624&#038;post=120&#038;subd=manwithoutqualities&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
