From the Paper
"The tree of life is a part of the creation myth in the Bible. It is an additional icon in the Garden of Eden, usually overlooked in favor of focus on the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The fruit of this tree grants immortality. The can be ascertained from the name of the tree but also from a brief description of the tree that Good gives in Genesis 3:22. Of course, it is little wonder that the tree of life does not figure a larger place in the creation story: it is only mentioned twice in the entire book of Genesis. It is first mentioned in Genesis 2:9, which reads, "the tree of life also in the midst of the garden" (58). Of course, this doesn't tell us much about the tree of life. "

Abstract
This paper consists of four summaries and analyses of several examples of world literature from the ancient era. The stories examined include the Biblical story of the flood mentioned in Genesis, "The Epic of Gilgamesh", Homer's "Odyssey", Euripides' "Medea", and Ovid's "Metamorphoses". Each story is briefly summarized and examined as to the relevance of characters and certain similarities between the stories.
From the Paper
"The number of textual similarities between the flood described in Genesis and the one described in Gilgamesh suggests that the stories have a common origin. Perhaps that common origin is an original myth. Perhaps it was actually a great flood that swept through the Mesopotamian region. Whatever the case, it is doubtful that these two stories were independently created. In the Genesis flood, God brought the flood down on man because of their extreme wickedness (60). He actually regretted creating man in the first place. Nonetheless, God was willing to spare one man and his family, Noah, and advised Noah to build an ark of very particular proportions. After the flood passed away, God made a new covenant with man and promised never to destroy the world with water again (63). Many similar events occur in Gilgamesh."

To that end, I will provide a basic overview of the text and the context within which it was written.

This exposure draft would supersede SAS 82, which is the current standard for detecting fraud in an audit. The exposure draft was not meant to change any of the auditor's responsibilities in a financial statement audit but rather introduces new concepts and requirements to assist the auditor in detecting fraud. Some of the major areas that the exposure draft discusses are the description and characteristics of fraud, discussion of fraud and professional skepticism, a wider range of inquiries, identifying and assessing risks that can result in fraud, evaluating programs and controls and responding to the results of the assessment.

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth exploration of the role of the Apostles after Christ's resurrection. The author details 'The Acts' and its teachings, which marked the beginning of Christianity. The Apostles' goals in the aftermath of Christ's death and resurrection and the roles they played in shaping the development of Christianity is examined in detail. Some of the topics discussed include the sins of the people, the life of Saul, who became Paul, and many of the issues surrounding Baptism and the occurrence of miracles.
From the Paper
"As well the apostles are required to help the world understand the teachings of Christ and to encourage them to carry forward the word of the Lord themselves, that is, in order to be converted and Saved. To that end, Peter performs a miracle, and both he and John preach the word of God to the people; as a result, the people begin to sell their possessions and give their lives over to Christ. An enraged Jewish authority then arrest the apostles for their heresies about resurrection and their apparent threat to what the authorities would have felt was their own just and rightful leadership. The apostles proclaimed Christ to be the one true power, and though the authorities were swayed by their ?notable miracle? (4:16), they chose to contain their voices by commanding them not to speak, nor teach, the Word of the Lord. Of course, the apostles would return to their teachings in the temple, performing miracles, and would again face conflict with the authorities."
