Read About The Author. I am simply a Christian, a disciple of Jesus Christ, and member of the Lord's body, the church, as described in the New Testament. In view of our Lord's prayer for unity (Jn 17:20-21), and the apostle Paul's condemnation of division (1 Co 1:10-13), I disdain denominational distinctions and all forms of sectarianism. These studies try to reflect a non-sectarian approach to the Scriptures, with a desire only to let the Bible speak for itself. I can honestly say that they do not reflect any one denominational creed (Catholic, Protestant, etc.) or one particular systematic theology (Calvinism, Arminianism, Pelagianism, etc.). They are simply the results of my own personal studies of God's Word, and are offered with a plea for you to apply "The Berean Test" (Ac 17:11) as you examine the studies.

The best known work of Machiavelli is his political treatise Il Principe (The Prince). It was written in an attempt to return to politics as an advisor to Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici. It has been argued that The Prince is not representative of Machiavelli's beliefs, as his advocacy of tyranny seems to contradict his other writings. However, Machiavelli seems to have been in earnest when he argued the advantages of cruelty and fraudulence. Apparently, he was hoping that a strong ruler would emerge from the Medici family, uniting Italy by expelling the foreign occupiers. Since its publication, Il Principe has become a legendary handbook on how to become and remain a ruler. However, most experts agree that Machiavelli's intention was not to advocate one particular policy over another, but to objectively record the various discourses of politics. It would not be accurate to accuse him of advocating the practices, such as assassination and mass murder, about which he wrote. There are places in his writings where he says, in effect, that if the ruler is to save the state in a particular sort of crisis, or retain his own position in power, then he must be prepared to act against this or that moral principle; but even in these passages he is, usually, only stating an unpalatable truth, at least in the political circumstance of his time and place, which was Renaissance Italy. Furthermore, he argues that the attempt at being good can be very self-deceptive, and that a government's job is to protect its people; so that they, and not it, can make the moral decisions that come from art, religion, and science. For this, he is severely criticised, making his name an adjective for amorality and corruption. Nonetheless, in the Discourses, which will be discussed with greater detail below, Machiavelli compares the pros and cons of different forms of government, and offers his view that the republic, where it has genuine popular support, is the ideal form of government, as it is the most stable.

The purpose of this Guide is to help our Actors learn to speak "Renaissance" English. English, as it was spoken in the 16th century, was a far different, and much richer language than our lazy American speech. With the advent of the printing press, books were far more available than in the past, and many Renaissance people could read. Most farming peasants could not, of course, but the effects were obvious. The Renaissance English was a florid, beautiful language, filled with originality and a sense of delight in the spoken word. The easiest way to see this speech in action, is to read the plays of William Shakespeare. Although most of his plays were written after the reign of Elizabeth I, they reflect quite accurately the language of the times.

The Myth of Sisyphus is an extended essay by Albert Camus, published originally in French in 1942 as Le Mythe de Sisyphe, and published in English in 1955. The essay's title comes from a story from Greek mythology. In the essay, Camus discusses the question of suicide and the value of life, using the myth of Sisyphus as a metaphor for life itself. In doing so he introduces the philosophy of the absurd, which holds that our lives are meaningless and have no values other than those we create. Given such a futile world, he asks, what is the alternative to suicide?
