Chapter: 12 | Listen:

Language: we all use it and few of us think about the form it takes on the page. But how did the transmittal of ideas in written form evolve from Egyptian hieroglyphics to the ABCs in use in most countries around the world today? This work, written by a librarian and scholar, draws on previously published works and also direct correspondence with archaeologists still uncovering secrets in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Her death left this work unfinished, but others were able to polish it for publication. – Summary by Lynne Thompson [chương_files]

El autor de este tratado de oratoria, uno de los individuos mas respetados y que figura entre los tres ó cuatro oradores y pensadores mas eminentes del clero francés, al cabo de cuarenta años de continua práctica en el arte de decir que principalmente como catedrático y predicador ha egercitado, ha querido comunicar á sus sucesores los secretos de la profesion en que tanto ha sobresalido. A cuantos estén en disposicion de recibirlo quiere dispensar el mismo servicio que reconoce haber él debido al célebre Villemain al comenzar su carrera. Propónese en cuanto es posible, enseñar lo que los libros no enseñan y comunicar lo que un maestro comunica confidencialmente á sus discípulos predilectos.

World English Bible
Chapter: 8 | Listen: 2

Mark’s Gospel is certainly the shortest, and possibly the earliest of the four canonical gospels. It covers Jesus’ life from his Baptism to his Resurrection, but concentrates particularly on the week leading up to the Crucifixion. It appears to have been written for a general audience, and its relative simplicity makes it perhaps the most accessible of the four Gospels for a first time reader. (Paragraph by Justin) [chương_files]

Chapter: 3 | Listen:

“The Philosophy of Style,” explored a growing trend of formalist approaches to writing. Highly focused on the proper placement and ordering of the parts of an English sentence, [Spencer] created a guide for effective composition. Spencer’s aim was to free prose writing from as much “friction and inertia” as possible, so that the reader would not be slowed by strenuous deliberations concerning the proper context and meaning of a sentence.
