Since Paul sent greetings to a Hermas, a Christian of Rome (Romans 16:14), a hopeful minority have followed Origen's opinion that he was the author of this religious romance; however, textual criticism and the nature of the theology, and the author's apparent familiarity with Revelation and other Johannine t ...

Some philosophers of antiquity defended slavery-douleia (the idea that not everyone should have voting rights and that some people should be forced to obey to masters) as a natural and necessary institution; Aristotle believed that the practice of any manual or banausic job should be disqualifying for citizenship. Quoting Euripedes, Aristotle declared all non Greeks to be slaves by birth fit for nothing but obedience. Some other philosophers, especially in Athens, opposed slavery and believed that every person who lives in a ci ...

The Jews recognize the twenty-four books of the Hebrew Bible as the Tanakh. Evidence suggests that the process of canonization of the Tanakh occurred between 200 BCE and 200 CE. The first suggestion of a Jewish Canon comes in the 2nd century BCE. The book of 2 Maccabees, itself not a part of the Jewish canon, describes Nehemiah (around 400 BCE) as having "founded a library and collected books about the kings and prophets, and the writings of David, and letters of kings about votive offerings" (2 Macc 2:13). The book also suggests that Ezra b ...
