Abstract
This paper details the known and disputed history of Solomon's temple, using the sources of the Old Testament and modern archaeology. The paper looks at the meaning of the site to the Jewish people beginning with the time of Moses. The architecture of the First Temple is discussed, its destruction and the building of the Second Temple, along with the final fate of both.
From the Paper
"From the time of Moses to that of King David, the tabernacle stood as the center of worship for the Jewish people. As a nomadic people wandering through the desert wilderness they carried this shrine with them. For the Jews, the tabernacle not only stood as a symbol of Yahweh?s blessing upon His chosen people and as a reminder to them to remain faithful though they wandered outside of the Promised Land, it also served as the home of Yahweh Himself. This was where the Shekinah Glory dwelt, God among men. When the Jews gained entrance at last into Palestine, they carried the tabernacle before them across the Jordan River and into Jerusalem. By the time David was crowned king, the Hebrew Nation had been well established. To King David, the tabernacle stood as reminder of all those years that his people spent wandering the desert. He desired a more permanent structure, one that would signify not only that the Jews had a homeland but also to give glory to the One who had led them there. The Lord forbade him to build his Temple (1 Chron. 22:7-8). This was a task that would be set before his son, Solomon. To this day, Solomon?s Temple remains one of the greatest symbols of Judaism and marks a point in time when the Jews did indeed occupy their Promised Land."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the issue of religion and tolerance, like racism, has always been a contentious one in the United States. This is particularly true of the non-Western, non-mainstream religions, such as Hinduism and other Indian religious directions. The writer then looks at the Sri Venkateswara Temple, that is also known as the Balaji Mandir and which functions as both a Hindu Temple and a Cultural Society serving the Hindu people in the area. The writer concludes that the temple has provided a focus not only for the Hindu community in the area, but also for the education of Westerners in the area.
From the Paper
"The Sri Venkateswara Temple is also known as the Balaji Mandir and functions as both a Hindu Temple and a Cultural Society serving the Hindu people in the area. There arose a need for such a temple in the Bridgewater area during the 1980s. One reason is that this period saw a significant increase in the Hindu Indian population in the area. In addition to the fact that this community experienced the need for worship services and cultural connections, was also the fact that many of these people were employed by the professional sector. They therefore had significant funds to contribute toward a project of establishing a worship community and building a temple. As mentioned above, the parental concern for retaining their children's awareness of their cultural roots also played a role in the need for establishing a temple. The first step towards attaining this goal was to buy land on which a temple could be built."

Abstract
This paper explains that Alfred Edersheim's "The Temple: Its Ministry and Services" reveals the physical structure of the Temple in the days of Christ, the Temple's ordinances, worshipers and the priesthood of that period, the priesthood's ministry and its rituals. The author points out that, although this book is a fact-based, historical account, there is a tremendous amount of disagreement about the superiority of sources used by different Biblical scholars, who continue to disagree about the validity of various sources. The author does not contest this validity. The paper states that religious scholars like Edersheim make it clear that an understanding of the Old Testament and ancient Judaism can only enhance one's understanding of the life of Christ as the ultimate sacrifice.

"Charlotte Temple", 2006.
A review of Susanna Rowson's novel "Charlotte Temple".
1,340 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 0 sources, $ 45.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Rowson intended "Charlotte Temple" to act as a cautionary tale to the young women of the time to show them the devastating consequences of entering into a sexual relationship before marriage. In particular, the paper looks at how, in analyzing the use of misfortune and benevolence throughout the story, particularly in the relation of the story of Charlotte's parents, we see that "Charlotte Temple" exists beyond the genre of a cautionary narrative, also acting as a parable of virtue to inspire its readers to act with generosity and benevolence to those who had fallen on misfortune.
From the Paper
"The opening chapter of Charlotte Temple, in which Montraville first encounters and is enamored by the beautiful and innocent Charlotte, serves to establish a basis for the novels primary plot and themes. The second chapter of the book, however, introduces the subtler plots and themes of the story, with the detailed history of Charlotte's parents. The chapter begins by introducing the readers to Charlotte's father, Henry Temple, the younger son of an English Earl with a kind heart and gentle disposition. Possessing a small fortune and an illustrious pedigree, both society and Mr. Temples family expected him to marry into wealth and nobility. However Henry Temple's rejection of his place at the top of the English hierarchy serves to reveal the true content of his character by exemplifying his kindness, virtue, and benevolence. Further illustrating Mr. Temple's altruistic attributes are his interactions with the Eldridges, a family lowered into a state of poverty and imprisonment by the great misfortunes they endured. Mr. Eldridge, a former army captain with little wealth, borrowed money from his son's friend, Lewis, to fund his daughter's education. "

"Wieland" and "Charlotte Temple", 2006.

Abstract
This paper discusses how both the novels "Charlotte Temple" and "Wieland" each present their audience with moral, virtuous examples of women who by the scorn and judgment of the societies in which they live, are placed in positions of disgrace by those who their societies dictated should have protected them. The paper relates that both Charlotte and Clara are betrayed by what their societies viewed as the "other", outsiders who ingratiate their way into the trust of these innocent women in attempts to ruin them or tarnish their reputations. The paper also discusses how, in both the novels it is not the actual immorality of the female characters that leads to their discrimination and ultimate downfall, but the damaging and excluding way in which society responds to their supposed fall from virtue that results in the tragic conclusion of these stories.
From the Paper
"In Charlotte Temple and Wieland, we are presented with two female characters that seem to embody the ideal of appropriate feminine behavior that dominated society throughout the eighteenth century. While Charlotte is docile, sweet-tempered, and consciously respectful and obedient of her parents, Clara represents a more modern, Enlightened female of the time, brimming with intelligence, quick wit, rationality, and the propensity for intellectual debate and discourse, while still maintaining her femininity and virtue. Similarly, both young women were subject to an idyllic, almost utopian upbringing. Charlotte, raised in the country under the wing of her unfailingly kind and generous parents, had experienced no deceit, dishonesty, or depravity of human nature. "

From the Paper
"Computers in all of the computer rooms are fully occupied throughout much of the academic day. Because of this, some students have trouble getting access, so increasing the number of computers is necessary to solve this problem. According to the results of a questionnaire, eight out of ten students answered TUJ should increase the number of computers at the university. Also, seven out of ten students answered the increased number of computers would elevate efficiency in their study. Because student demand is high and because computer availability impacts studies, it is necessary for TUJ to increase the number of computers. If TUJ increases the number of computers, student satisfaction with the university will be higher. This is beneficial for the university because TUJ will acquire a better reputation and have more applicants. This will result in an increase in profit of TUJ, which will help TUJ to survive in the competitive market for educational institutions."

From the Paper
"The Temple of the Sun at Konarak in India's Orissa state is considered the high point of the tradition of Hindu temple building that began in the late eighth century. Shortly after the Konarak temple was built in the mid-thirteenth century the Mughal invasions put a premature end to this architectural tradition. The Konarak temple was a monumental representation of the chariot of the Sun God. It featured twelve pairs of wheels on its side walls and the figure of the god standing at the front of the building driving his horses. Almost every square inch of the temple's outer walls is covered with carvings that range widely from abstract designs to animals, human beings, and gods and vary in size from a few inches to many feet." One of the most striking aspects of the sculptural program of this particular temple is the enormous number of erotic sculptural..."

Abstract
This essay will argue that a key point of disagreement, and eventual harmonization, in this "conversation" revolved around the role of nature in the architecture of Japanese temples. While earlier Shinto models reflected a Japanese aesthetic of harmonization with nature, the Buddhist temple architecture imported directly from the Asian mainland emphasized a more abstract and monumental disregard for the natural environment. Through an analysis of the similarities and the differences of Japanese Shinto shrine and Buddhist temple design, this essay will outline the parameters of this conversation between native and foreign forms in Japanese architecture.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the temple of Pharaoh Ramesses I built by his son Seti I. Some of the areas discussed include the Temple of Osiris and its significance in history. Special attention is given to the figures carved into the walls of the temple, as they are examined in detail in order to give us a better understanding of their importance in Ramesses life and times. The hieroglyphics found on the walls are also detailed and analyzed.
From the Paper
"The largest figure is Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris, with a falcon head. He holds an ankh, in one hand, which is a sacred representation of life, often associated with Isis and Osiris. Some call it "the original cross." (Okara, 2001). He also holds up his hand as if to protect his father. Horus ruled the world of the living, so he's here to watch over the living as they give their gifts to his father. Horus is larger than the cult figures of Osiris, but there are two figures of Osiris, and only one Horus, which again brings out Osiris' dominance."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows how Lawrence Sterne's "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy" appears at first to be a travel journal, narrated by, Yorick, a jester and a fool, taking his name and style from the famed Shakespearean scene in "Hamlet". The paper notes that a jester, like Sterne makes light of life's serious matters and are known for their wisdom. It shows how Sterne's light, self mocking tone and his humorous style combine with his serio-comic narrator to produce a serious theme. The paper shows how the experiences of Sterne's wise fool show that sympathy for others, especially for those who may seem strange or foreign, opens the human heart and that the knowledge that Yorick gains from his travels is not mental knowledge but heart knowledge which leads to universal love and friendship.
From the Paper
"Sterne does not wish his writings to be considered dangerous, merely light and humorous, so he plays the fool and lets Yorick travel the world with all his foolish baggage, getting mixed up with characters from all walks and levels of life and admitting if his adventures: "I am never so perfectly conscious of the existence of a soul within me, as when I am entangled in them" (211). Yorick, wiping Maria's and his own tears alternately feels "such undescribable emotions within me, as I am sure could not be accounted for from any combinations of matter and motion." 213 Toward the end of the book Yorick enjoys "a feast of love" with a large family (221) after which he participates in the joyful "grace" of the family dance that is the best sort of thanks to heaven that an illiterate peasant (or learned prelate) could pay" (224)."
