Remnants of Past aims to connect the past of an undocumented immigrant to the present. Jose crossed the US-Mexico border when he was 22 years old. He left because of his family economic situation and in prospects of a better life.
I visited the town of Alvaro Obregon, Tlaxcala, where Jose is originally from. I came back with images from the town and told Jose to write what those images made him feel, especially seeing them after many years. Below are some of the excerpts from the book as he relives his past in Mexico through these images.


On a hunt through a used bookstore, nothing brings me more delight than finding a book I didn’t know existed that’s written by a favorite author. Many years ago, I discovered that Carol Ryrie Brink had written a book called The Twin Cities (The Macmillan Company, 1961).
You probably recognize her as the author of the 1936 Newbery Medal winner, Caddie Woodlawn. You may not have known that although she was born in Idaho, graduated from Berkeley, she lived in St. Paul for 40 years. Her husband, Raymond, was a professor of mathematics at the University of Minnesota. She taught creative writing while she lived here. Hamline University named her as one of twenty-eight outstanding women of Minnesota in 1954.
This book is very much a time capsule and it’s fascinating to read for that reason. With a Euro-centric view of living in Minnesota, the chapters cover figure skating, the skylines and progress of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the indoor gardens, the Winter Carnival, the Minneapolis Aquatennial, the Old Log Theatre, the anticipation of the new Guthrie Theater … and many, many more tidbits. She includes several pages about the native American tribes, all of which have a 1950s lens. Those pages are uncomfortable to read but I appreciate having this perspective on where we’ve come from.
In the chapter “Dinner and a Show,” she writes, “I remember one Sunday when friends from New York tried to take us to lunch in Minneapolis. My husband and I, like our neighbors, were unaccustomed to lunching away from home on a Sunday, but we supposed that it could easily be done. We were as surprised as the New Yorkers to find that most of the restaurants were closed, and that cocktails were entirely out of the question. The only satisfaction that our thirsty friends got out of the adventure was the dubious thrilled of finding themselves in that incredible part of the world known to them as ‘the sticks.’”
She writes about “Jim Hill” in her chapter on the “Empire Builder.” Hill advertised for settlers along his railway so goods and commerce and supplies would flow. He built a fabulous art collection. He believed strongly in education, books, and libraries, so the Hill Reference Library at the St. Paul Central Library was planned shortly before his death. In 1910, Hill published a book called Highways of Progress, in which he wanted to see beyond the present to “anticipate the needs and opportunities of tomorrow.”
It’s tomorrow. We still live in the context of our history … although we’re striving to make forward progress. I’m grateful for the discovery of book treasures like this one.

The Voting Booth
by Brandy Colbert
Published by Disney-Hyperion
Released on July 7, 2020
Young Adult – Contemporary – Romance
From Stonewall Award-winning author Brandy Colbert comes an all-in-one-day love story perfect for fans of The Sun is Also A Star.
Marva Sheridan was born ready for this day. She’s always been driven to make a difference in the world, and what better way than to vote in her first election?
Duke Crenshaw is do done with this election. He just wants to get voting over with so he can prepare for his band’s first paying gig tonight.
Only problem? Duke can’t vote.
When Marva sees Duke turned away from their polling place, she takes it upon herself to make sure his vote is counted. She hasn’t spent months doorbelling and registering voters just to see someone denied their right. And that’s how their whirlwind day begins, rushing from precinct to precinct, cutting school, waiting in endless lines, turned away time and again, trying to do one simple thing: vote. They may have started out as strangers, but as Duke and Marva team up to beat a rigged system (and find Marva’s missing cat), it’s clear that there’s more to their connection than a shared mission for democracy.
Romantic and triumphant, The Voting Booth is proof that you can’t sit around waiting for the world to change, but some things are just meant to be.
Brandy Colbert is the award-winning author of several books for children and teens, including The Only Black Girls in Town, The Revolution of Birdie Randolph, Stonewall Book Award winner Little & Lion, and the forthcoming The Voting Booth. She is co-writer of Misty Copeland’s Life in Motion young readers edition, and her short fiction and essays have been published in a variety of critically acclaimed anthologies for young people. Her books have been chosen as Junior Library Guild selections, and have appeared on many best of lists, including the American Library Association’s Best Fiction for Young Adults and Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. She is on faculty at Hamline University’s MFA program in writing for children, and lives in Los Angeles.
Oh.. my… GOSH! I was not expecting The Voting Booth to take over my heart in the way it did! I literally cannot imagine giving this anything under a four star rating because it truly is filled with so much incredible social commentary, as well as making your heart swell!
To start off, the entire book takes place over the course of a day – November 3rd, or better yet known as Election Day here in the United States. Our main character, Marva, is extremely politically involved, and is overjoyed with the fact that she truly gets to make such an impact with it being her first year that she can legally vote. Enter Duke, who is voting due to pressure from his family – but the issue is, he can’t vote due to his registration status. And here is where the story takes off. Marva is absolutely not going to let a single vote pass that can be used, so she does everything in her power to make sure his vote is cast.
I find that one-day books tend to be hit or misses with me because there is only so much character development you can create in a day – but Colbert does it! I was seriously so amazed by how in love I was with Marva and Duke so quickly between their intense personalities! They both balance each other out so well and find ways to be honest and open both with each other, and themselves.
The conversation about being Black in a world dominated with bigotry, classism, and racism is done extremely well (to no one’s surprise). Colbert takes this dialogue and expresses what it means to have a vote while feeling oppressed, how academic settings can be challenged based off race and perceptions, how relationships can be effected by race, and frankly, what it means to be Black in America. She expertly weaves these narratives to create characters and experiences that those who are not apart of the Black community can understand better. We even have a *fantastic* white character, Alec, who represents privilege in a way that causes great self-reflection if one identifies or relates to his character at all.
Once you add the next generation, Marva and Duke’s parents create a new meaning to this dialogue. Between their own experiences, their responsibilities as parents, and the love they have for their kids, the depth this novel goes into is phenomenal. Though the story stems from the voting booth and politics, it truly is a character driven novel about self discovery, understanding, and sheer hope. Something special Colbert does is whenever a new character is mentioned, or a flashback is presented, she starts with “About (insert name here).” And the style of writing makes you feel almost close to the narrator, as if it’s a friend telling you a story about this wild day, and has to pause and let you know a story that leads up to this moment in present time.
To save myself from yelling about this book from the rooftops, please go pick this up! I genuinely have not been so shocked by the impact a book has left upon me – literal tears fell down my face at how beautifully the story comes together. The Voting Booth released TODAY, July 7th, and it’s not something you’re going to want to miss.

WAITING FOR JUSTICE
DISPOSSESSION - PARTS OF A WHOLE
Seven Panels of Collage
“Dispossession – Parts of a Whole”
The following seven panels of collage depict the dispossession and struggle of the Palestinian people through symbolic and photographic images. Each panel is presented as parts of a whole, and viewed together, they tell the story of the cumulative disintegration of Palestinian society under the crushing weight of occupation. Yet, despite all attempts to diminish them as a people, the Palestinians have maintained their dignity and strength of purpose. From the very rubble come the stones of resistance because that is all that they have to fight their oppressors. The Palestinians will not be silenced. Their voices are gradually gaining momentum as more and more people world-wide acknowledge the injustice of a people denied the land of their birth and their heritage. Against the tyranny of fabricated lies, truth will prevail and with justice will come peace. The Star of Bethlehem flower is the recurring symbol of that peace as well as symbolising the unrelenting struggle of the Palestinian people against the mighty forces of pen and gun.
The panels are a Women for Palestine initiative and concept, and these ideas have been powerfully expressed in the composition and application of gathered material by Melbourne artist Ms Dora McPhee. Without Ms McPhee’s fine sense of artistry, the material would never have had the arresting visual impact that such a story demands. Ms McPhee put aside work on her own series of paintings, which is the medium through which she is known, to embark on what she described as “art on demand”. It was a relentless exercise over a period of two weeks, working long days and well into the nights. We hope that the panels will capture your imagination and immerse you in the incredible sequence of events spanning well over half a century and leading to a situation that can only ever be resolved if the people of the world finally speak out against this terrible injustice after years of silence.
Flowers without Fields
This panel symbolically shows what once was in Palestine and the beginnings of disintegration and dispersal. The fragmented picture is a scene of the fields of Bethlehem in springtime before 1935. Once green and fertile fields covered with the Star of Bethlehem flower are no longer scenes of rural delight. Instead, the flowers have been cut from their roots and have been left to disperse like the people of Palestine. However, the flowers don’t disperse easily because there are so many of them and neither do the people. What is not shown is the horror yet to come. In effect, this panel depicts the calm before the storm and symbolises the peaceful land to which Palestinians everywhere ache to return.
Keys without Locks
The man-made storm has come with a vengeance and has left nothing but rubble, utter destruction and a traumatised people. As hundreds and thousands of Palestinians flee for their lives, family homes, historic towns and ancient villages are occupied by Jewish settlers from post-war Europe or else razed to the ground. The tent is the refugee shelter – once temporary and now a permanent symbol of housing for refugees in exile. The keys portray those still carried by Palestinians who believe that they will one day be able to unlock the doors of their former homes now occupied without leave by strangers. And while the argument continues that the Palestinians sold or voluntarily left their homes and land, it is inconceivable that of a 700,000 population, every homeowner and landholder would have acquiesced in selling their homes - or more significantly their homeland - at any price in order to live in permanent exile. A lone flower spouting through the rubble is dwarfed by the sheer scale of destruction yet is a plaintive symbol of hope for a return to the lush fields and peaceful land of pre-1948 Palestine.
People without Land
This panel shows the movement of people against the permanence of an ancient land. It depicts the flight of the Palestinian people in 1948 as Zionist forces mount their attack and then again in 1967. Those who remain are effectively prisoners in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip – territories allocated to the Palestinians in the Partition Plan of 1947. However, even these territories are overwhelmingly populated by foreign settlers - Jewish immigrants from Europe, America and Africa who are being encouraged and financially assisted to settle in a land denied to the original inhabitants. A copy of a rare map signed by Moshe Dayan clearly shows that Palestine, in fact, was recognised in cartography contrary to assertions by Zionists that it never existed as a land under that name. The horror, disbelief, anguish and despair of a people dispossessed of their land are etched beneath transparent and shifting maps. Despite the will and might of foreign forces, the spirits of a wronged people continue to haunt this troubled land.
Stitches without Meaning
As homes are bulldozed and destroyed, so too are the traditions of centuries. The meaning system of Palestinian embroidery which once identified people from each region, village and town and indicated the status of the person, is buried in the rubble. What was once handed down from generation to generation with pride has been torn apart with the disintegration of Palestinian society which existed for centuries before 1948. Now the language of the art struggles to survive in the refugee workshops where women painstakingly execute remnants of former patterns for sale to support their families. Today, the patterns worn by the women, increasingly reflect the Palestinian intifada rather than the heritage of their origins and so the meanings of the stitches so important to their culture is in danger of disappearing forever.
Documents without Rights
‘There is no such thing as Palestinians” were Golda Meier’s words in 1960 - words meant to negate the existence of a whole people, their identity and heritage. But, official documents and papers, old passports, identity cards and former currency, give the lie to these false words. The Palestinians were not nomads wandering in from the desert to a terra nullius. They formed a properly functioning society – certainly for 400 years under the rule of the Ottoman Empire and then during the British Mandate – but nevertheless, a Palestinian society with political and economic structures and an enormously rich cultural heritage. There were schools, universities, hospitals, governments departments, businesses and banks. The documents many still carry from before 1948, are testament to the nationality they had and what overnight was suddenly not recognised. Today, their identity cards are scrutinised at every Israeli checkpoint and they must suffer the humiliation of interminable queues and being regarded as aliens in their own land. The rights once afforded them by documents they still carry are now invalid with the stroke of a foreign pen. In effect, they are prisoners both inside and outside their land, powerless against the political machinations of those who refuse to recognise the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people in and to their own land.
Pictures without Frames
Photographs are permanent memories and for many it is all they have left as proof of their past lives in Palestine. This panel attempts to capture the human faces and special moments in the lives of Palestinians who have the same dreams and hopes as all people everywhere, but instead, those hopes and dreams and memories have been smashed and ground into the rubble of wanton destruction. Shards of mirrors reflect fleeting glimpses of all who look on, a reminder that we are no different to the humanity staring out at us from a now shattered past. Those pictures, once framed, marked the milestones in the lives of men, women and children who went to school, played sport, studied at university, and got married. Those pictures captured the moments of celebration and gladdened the hearts of loved ones. They were displayed, like yours and mine, on mantelpieces and tables or hung on walls - records of lives, of lives interrupted and lost. Some pictures are preserved in the meagre belongings of those Palestinians who fled the falling bombs and advancing forces, but others have had no chance of saving even themselves against the invading tanks. And so, the frameless pictures lie unclaimed, yet still a testament to the lives once lived in Palestine.
Protests without End
After 60 years of occupation, disenfranchisement, oppression, vilification, wanton destruction and displacement, the voices of the Palestinian people have not bee stilled. Instead they are raised even more strongly today than in those early years when few could believe that not only their country, but the very word Palestine would be systematically and deliberately erased from the pages of history. The shock waves running through the one and a half million Palestinian population when the Partition was announced in 1947, is finally gathering momentum. Protests are resonating around the world to end the oppressive and brutal occupation of the Palestinian people, despite attempts to portray them as troublemakers and terrorists. The stone in a bloodied hand is their only weapon against far more powerful forces. This time the Hebrew story of David and Goliath plays itself out again in a reversal of roles - Palestine as David and Goliath as Israel and the Western world. This panel, against a backdrop of protests, depicts the symbols of the Palestinian struggle – the stones, the flag and the black and white keffiyeh. And, amidst the stones, the Star of Bethlehem flower is seen emerging – a sign that hope and the quest for peace are never entirely eradicated from the human condition. Perhaps a free and recognised Palestine is not such an impossible dream after all.
What sort of society can consider itself civilized if it subjects the original inhabitants and civilians of the land they have occupied to years of oppression, humiliation and, now, wholesale destruction? What sort of despair and hopelessness has driven a civilized people to suicide bombings in retaliation? This is the status quo of the Israelis on the one hand and the Palestinians on the other. If we do not find a solution that brings justice to one people and allows another to have their state, we are living in a sad world indeed. Peace with dignity and humanity is the answer, but it will never be achieved if the world powers dictate the terms of peace according to their own interests. It is in the hands of people everywhere to put pressure on those who seek to act in our name and demand an end to all crimes against humanity.


A reminder the launch event for Choreomania: Dance and Disorder (OUP, 2018) will be taking place at the Horse Hospital, Bloomsbury, next Wednesday 20th June 6.30-8.30pm. Featuring film screenings, theory bursts, and good cheer.
On the book:
Choreomania: Dance and Disorder
Oxford Studies in Dance Theory, Oxford University Press, 2018, 384pp.
When political protest is read as epidemic madness, religious ecstasy as nervous disease, and angular dance moves as dark and uncouth, the disorder being described is choreomania. At once a catchall term to denote spontaneous gestures and the unruly movements of crowds, choreomania emerged in the nineteenth century at a time of heightened class conflict, nationalist policy, and colonial rule. In this book, author Kélina Gotman examines these choreographies of unrest, rethinking the modern formation of the choreomania concept as it moved across scientific and social scientific disciplines. Reading archives describing dramatic misformations of bodies and body politics, she shows how prejudices against expressivity unravel, in turn revealing widespread anxieties about demonstrative agitation. This history of the fitful body complements stories of nineteenth-century discipline and regimentation. As she notes, constraints on movement imply constraints on political power and agency. In each chapter, Gotman confronts the many ways choreomania works as an extension of discourses shaping colonialist orientalism, which alternately depict riotous bodies as dangerously infected others, and as curious bacchanalian remains. Through her research, Gotman also shows how beneath the radar of this colonial discourse, men and women gathered together to repossess on their terms the gestures of social revolt.

“A conceptual tour-de-force! Gotman effectively mobilizes Foucault, Said, Foster, Agamben, and Gilroy to assemble a discursive history of choreomania. Progressive, 21st-century thinking that incorporates critical race theory, feminist theory, and the crucial critique of modern scientific approaches to movement. A triumph for dance studies that reflects an always-changing world-in-motion, ever-activated by shifting political circumstances.”—Thomas F. DeFrantz, Professor of Dance, African and African American Studies, and Theatre Studies, Duke University
“Offering an astute history of ideas about dance that charts both fears and desires about bodies in movement, Gotman crafts a truly insightful way of thinking, which is to say moving, across and among the archives and the fields in which ‘dance’ is practiced and given to remain, deployed and never quite contained. Throughout Gotman’s keen analyses, 19th-century choreomania is read not only in relationship to but also as the best and the worst of modern biopolitics.”—Rebecca Schneider, Professor of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies, Brown University

A Philosophy of Software Design
I liked this book because it’s grounded on research done by the author during this tenure as an instructor at Stanford University. There, he taught students a course on software design and how to write quality code. The book compiles design principles which the author presents as solutions to common design issues and code anti-patterns identified his students’ assignments.
The book focuses on concepts that help simplifying software complexity. Although it’s a short book, it is packed with good advice. The chapters that resonated with me the most include his take on error handling, where he argues that most exceptions are unnecessary, proposing alternatives to reduce code complexity. In sections about information hiding and abstractions he advocates for interfaces that are simple in design yet rich in functionality. Finally, hhe abundant addition of code examples makes the author’s ideas easier to follow.
You can see most of the ideas on the book in this presentation by the author:
The Pragmatic Programmer
David Thomas / Andrew Hunt
I liked this book because it’s the classical handbook on the craft of software development. First published in 1999, it still remains relevant for all professionals in the industry and indeed I use a lot of its advice in my daily work. For example, I always write a failing test before fixing a bug. I also make sure I know my tools (like the IDE and debugger) really well. The book teaches to use interfaces instead of inheritance, to let objects do their own work (’tell, don’t ask’), and to be careful with using global data and shared state. There are many more great tips in it.
I read “The Pragmatic Programmer” from cover to cover when I first got it because I liked it so much. However, I often come back to it because I find fresh insights every time I pick it up. It’s also been super helpful when I’m giving advice to someone who’s newer to programming, because a lot of what I share, I learned from this book.
I liked this book because it offers a very detailed explanation of different refactoring techniques, covering over 60 different types. “Refactoring” is filled with code examples and clearly explains the ‘code smells’ that each refactoring technique addresses.
Improving the design of existing code is an invaluable skill to learn as a professional developer, and this book has greatly increased my confidence when handling both large and small refactoring projects. As such, “Refactoring” is a book that I used as reference in my work many times.


I’ve been fascinated by birds for a long time, and in recent years have been an ardent bird photographer. You can see some examples of my bird photos elsewhere on this site. Check the bird photos every so often, as I intend to keep adding photos to it.
I’m also working on a small book of poems about imaginary birds that I invented. I’m very excited about this project because I’m also going to try to illustrate the book myself, which is something I’ve never done before.
I’m in the middle of writing an opera libretto based on a children’s book by one of my favorite authors and illustrators. I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve had many sleepless nights because of this project, but it’s certainly one of the most exciting things I’ve done.
THE SILVER MOON contains twenty original lullabies, beautifully illustrated by Jui Ishida. In the back of the book, you’ll find four of the lullabies set to my own music. The music for ALL the lullabies, complete with guitar chords, can be found on The Silver Moon book page on this website.


History of The Presbyterian Church of Dunmore
The Presbyterian Church of Dunmore, A brief history --
Until 1825, Dunmore was little more than a frontier town at the intersection of two roads - one leading to the settlement at Wyoming, PA and the other through the Providence section to Montrose and north to Binghamton. Coal had been discovered in Carbondale in 1814 and the completion of the "Gravity Railroad" through Dunmore in 1849 provided new employment opportunities in the area. At the same time, coal was discovered in Dunmore and mining began in earnest. People were moving into the area. Residents were using the little red schoolhouse on N. Blakely St. to hold non-denominational worship services. The nearest formal church was an organized Presbyterian Church in the Providence section and the only means of transportation was by foot or horseback. Thus, in February 1854, a group of interested individuals met to consider forming a Presbyterian Church in Dunmore. The charter was granted on April 4, 1854 and a building constructed on property donated by landowner, Mr. Edward Spencer.
By 1888, this congregation, known as The First Presbyterian Church of Dunmore, had increased in size to a point where the building was inadequate, and plans were made to erect a larger building on the same size. The larger building incorporated the original building in its plans and the work was completed in 1892. The congregation was the first of the Triune Congregation.
In 1903, a group of Italian immigrants had been meeting in Scranton, with services being conducted in their native tongue. In 1911 their Pastor, Rev. D'Anna, requested the First Presbyterian Church of Dunmore to allow the Italian residents in Dunmore to conduct worship services in the church. Permission ws granted and the services were held there using the Italian dialect until 1922, when the Italian congregants erected a church buidling on Calvin Street. The congregants continued as a mission church of The First Presbyterian Church of Dunmore for a short period of time but soon incorporated and became known as The Second Presbyterian Church of Dunmore. This congregation was eventually to become another member of the Triune Congregation. After a period of declining membership, in 1958 The Second Presbyterian Church of Dunmore merged with the First Presbyterian Church of Dunmore and the merged congregations took on the name of The Presbyterian Church of Dunmore, PA. Similarly, on January 1, 2000 the congregation of the Christ Church merged with the congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Dunmore, PA. The name: The Presbyterian Church of Dunmore, PA was retained.
Thus it is, that three congregations which had their beginnings in Dunmore with the help of Pastors and officials from Presbyterian Churches in Dunmore, were finally reunited at the beginning of the 21st century. Taking one hundred years to evolve, the Triune Church, known now as The Presbyterian Church of Dunmore, PA, serves a congregation with varied ethnic backgrounds and cultures. During the twentieth century, this church played an influential role in the settlement and development of the Borough of Dunmore. Members of the church were influential in establishing the Dunmore Cemetery. Members have served and died in the service of their country during major conflicts. Members of the congregations have taken on pastoral and missionary responsibilities both at home and in foreign lands; both in time of war and in time of peace. Members of the congregation and members of the clergy, have served in local political offices. Music has always been an important part of the services, and several persons have taken formal training as organists and now serve congregations in other churches. With the help and blessing of our God may we continue to carry on his work.
May the light that was kindled back in 1854 continue to shine and bear witness in the years to come.


Thank God we have public libraries to provide us with all of our educational needs. For an illuminating example of tax dollars at work, check out this investigative report from a Cleveland television station. It\’s about five minutes long, but well worth your time.
I actually heard some people feel sorry for this guy, the way the reporter ambushes him. But if you feel comfortable enough at the library to fire off some knuckle children while my kids are around, I feel comfortable holding you up for public shame.
And if you think this doesn\’t happen at public libraries all over Wisconsin, you are willfully deceiving yourself.

When the New Testament was written is a significant issue, as one assembles the overall argument for Christianity. Confidence in the historical accuracy of these documents depends partly on whether they were written by eyewitnesses and contemporaries to the events described, as the Bible claims. Negative critical scholars strengthen their own views as they separate the actual events from the writings by as much time as possible. For this reason radical scholars argue for late first century, and if possible second century, dates for the autographs [original manuscripts]. By these dates they argue that the New Testament documents, especially the Gospels, contain mythology. The writers created the events contained, rather than reported them. The Gospel of Luke was written by the same author as the Acts of the Apostles, who refers to Luke as the ‘former account’ of ‘all that Jesus began to do and teach’ Acts The destiny ‘Theophilus’ , style, and vocabulary of the two books betray a common author. Roman historian Colin Hemer has provided powerful evidence that Acts was written between AD 60 and
The science of Biblical chronology in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was an integral part of Christian belief and of Biblical exegesis. The difficulties involved in such a project concerned notably the Biblical text itself and the measurement of time used not only by the Jews, but by other civilisations whose own chronology was increasingly assimilated into Biblical chronology to form a universal history. The secularisation that such a shift implied, allied to new evidence from non-textual sources concerning the possible dating of the creation, gradually began to throw doubt on the primacy of the Bible in chronological studies.
For the events in the Gospels, see Chronology of Jesus. Commonly accepted dates or ranges of dates for composition of the Hebrew Bible, the Deuterocanonical.
It has to consider how far the Bible contains a chronology at all; to what extent the Sacred Writers aimed at exactness, or were satisfied with round numbers; whether, and to what extent, textual errors and other sources of corruption have crept into the numbers of the Bible ; and finally, what relation exists between the chronologies that have been handed down by neighboring nations and that which exists in the Bible.
It is not merely that in the matter of numbers the Hebrew text has not always reached us incorrupt cf. Some of them, as the Psalms , are in no sense such. And even those that are so, are not written primarily from the point of view of history. Else, e. II, i, p. On the other hand, the Book of Chronicles D. Paralipomenon written after the Exile, by setting forth the splendors of ancient ritual, sought to move them to the worthy celebration of Divine worship op.
What complicates the earlier periods of Bible history is, the fact that there was no recognized era such as the Dionysian Era of our own times to reckon events from, though for the Roman world the founding of Rome in the eighth century B. I Creation of the World. At least dates have been suggested, varying from to years B.
The Date and Pharaoh of the Exodus?
Biblical literalist chronology is the attempt to correlate the theological dates used in the Bible with the real chronology of actual events. The Jewish Bible the Christian Old Testament dates events either by simple arithmetic taking the creation of the world as the starting point, or, in the later books, by correlations between the reigns of kings in Israel and Judah. For the biblical authors the chronology was theological in intent, functioning as prophecy and not as history.
The creation of a literalist chronology of the Bible faces several hurdles, of which the following are the most significant:. The task of a literal biblical chronology is to convert this to dates in the modern chronology expressed as years before or after Christ, BC and AD.

Exodus is not only the name of a book in the Old Testament but a momentous event for the Hebrew people—their departure from Egypt. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer as to when it occurred. Although there can be a chronology within the framework of a fictional story or myth, dating the events is generally impossible. To have a historical date, normally an event must be real; therefore the question must be asked as to whether or not the Exodus actually happened.
Some believe the Exodus never took place because there is no physical or literary proof beyond the Bible. Others say all the proof that is needed is in the Bible. Archaeologists and historians, comparing archaeological, historical, and Biblical records, tend to date the Exodus somewhere between the 3d and 2d millennia B. Most favor one of three basic time frames:.
The main problem with dating the Exodus is that archaeological evidence and Biblical references do not line up. However, some Biblical evidence supports the 15th-century date, and the expulsion of the Hyksos favors the earlier date.
When the Biblical Exodus Would Have Taken Place
Researchers have pinpointed the date of what could be the oldest solar eclipse yet recorded. The event, which occurred on 30 October BC, is mentioned in the Bible, and could have consequences for the chronology of the ancient world. Using a combination of the biblical text and an ancient Egyptian text, the researchers were then able to refine the dates of the Egyptian pharaohs, in particular the dates of the reign of Ramesses the Great.

When Did the Exodus Happen?
This article can be freely copied and distributed, as long as it is unaltered and a link back to the original article appears on the page. Several people have asked about the timing of Biblical events within the framework of old earth belief. With this article, I hope to answer some of those questions, although as you will see, we cannot be very accurate with these dates. As Christians who believe in the Bible, of course we think the events of the Bible happened just as the Bible records them.
I cannot speak for all old earth believers, but generally, we accept a literal reading of Genesis, and the existence of the Garden of Eden, the Flood of Noah local, but universal in effect , and the story of the Tower of Babel, and others that we need not consider. The Last Common Denominator.
In , John Lightfoot published a “voluminous” calculation of the exact date Ussher relied on cross-referencing the Bible with other known dates of events.
Have you ever wondered how the details of the Exodus as described in the Bible line up with other historical accounts of the Pharaohs and the building of the pyramids? When did the Exodus actually occur? These kinds of questions are often asked. There has been much study and scholarship on early Egyptian history that help us to see how biblical accounts do indeed match up with other historical findings.
Synopsis Because scholars disagree over the date of the Exodus and the identity of the pharaoh, some question the reliability of the story. But the leading theories concerning the Exodus are perfectly compatible with the biblical account. Date of the Exodus Virtually all study Bibles, biblical commentaries, and Bible encyclopedias discuss the question of when the Exodus occurred and who was Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus.
Either theory could be true.
Now You Know: When Did People Start Saying That the Year Was ‘A.D.’?
The interpretation of ancient texts is a tricky enterprise, and the more ambiguous the text, the more difficult it is to come to a concrete, widely-accepted interpretation. As such, the Genesis Creation account is often difficult to deal with – is it reliable history as written, or ambiguous and difficult to believe? Debate is heated even within the Christian community. Biblical literalists ascribe to the viewpoint that the Bible is to be interpreted literally except for certain poetic passages.
He contended that the biblical story tracing the Hebrews from Egypt to as to his identity and, hence, as to the date of the events of the narrative of Moses.
According to the author this is due to false traditional chronology, erroneous geographical reference, and deliberate adaptation of phenomena and events by theologians and historians to established stereotypes. The study of ancient Chronicles, Biblical descriptions and his own reconstruction of the history of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome and the chronology of monotheistic religions, allowed the author to uniquely link the chronological line of the past to the chain of historical events, characters and celestial occurrence.
All astronomical phenomena of ancient Chronicles have found their exact identification with calculated Solar Eclipses and Zodiacs, which instrumentally confirms the correctness of the short chronology of the past and the author’s reconstruction of history. View Fullscreen. Gimbutas, M. Kubarev V.


Children in Norden will be excited to hear about a new Lego Club which will be starting at Norden Library on Shawfield Lane this Saturday (21st July 2018), just in time for the summer holidays.
The Club, which is is being set up in time for the summer holidays is a joint project between local Councillor Peter Winkler and Librarian, Angela Butcher at the Norden Library and aims to be a fun, free and inclusive session for local children of all ages.
Peter approached the library earlier this year to discuss the idea after having seem similar clubs in other areas, Angela had already been thinking about a club but was unsure about funding. After a discussion about what was needed Angela agreed to host the club at the library and Councillor Winkler offered to buy all the Lego that the club needed.
A number of different Lego sets have been purchased including Lego for boys and girls, Duplo bricks for younger builders and more technical sets with lights , motors and programmable functions for older children.
Angela said: "I had been looking at idea for a while so when Councillor Winkler approached me with the same idea and the funds to make it happen I was really pleased to accept. Lego clubs are a great activity for children of all ages and a brilliant way to get them into the library. Our library provides a very important local service and the more ways we can use it the better. Libraries are not the quiet reading rooms of days gone by, we are a real community hub and the Lego club will be a brilliant addition to our current list of activities."
The new Norden Lego club will be on Saturday mornings from 10:00 to 12:00 and will be a free drop-in session open to local children of all ages. Please contact Norden library on 01706 926 736 for more information.


The “One Percent” and the Poor: Redistribution or Revolution?
“In progressive societies the concentration of wealth may reach a point where the strength of number in the many poor rivals the strength of ability in the few rich; then the unstable equilibrium generates a critical situation, which history has diversely met by legislation redistributing wealth or by revolution distributing poverty.”
― Will Durant, The Lessons of History
I read Will Durant’s The Lessons of History recently and it was one of the best books I have read in some time. Perhaps the most interesting part of the book looked at how many times civilizations have grappled with the tension between the elite class and the underprivileged poor. The quote above was the most sobering statement on this struggle since time immemorial. It is my view that we have reached a point where this issue will progressively get more acute. Whether the boiling point is upon us or not, I do
