- Francis Bacon (1561–1626) was one of the leading figures in natural philosophy and in the field of scientific methodology in the period of transition from the Renaissance to the early modern era. As a lawyer, member of Parliament, and Queen’s Counsel, Bacon wrote on questions of law, state and religion, as well as on contemporary politics; but he also published texts in which he speculated on possible conceptions of society, and he pondered questions of ethics (Essays) even in his works on natural philosophy (The Advancement of Learning).
- 1 Thessalonians in Greek (ancientlibrary.net)
Often regarded as the earliest surviving Christian document, 1 Thessalonians is a letter of the Greek New Testament written by the apostle Paul around the middle of the first century AD. In warm, pastoral Koine Greek it thanks the new congregation at Thessalonica for its faith under persecution and answers anxious questions about believers who have died before Christ’s return.
