History of Words, Notions, and Commonplaces

Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German, and English tools of the trade to examine the historical origin and evolution of ideas and their expressions.Theology and philosophy are fertile domains to explore.

Numbers as Rhetorica

The use and interpretation of numbers as tools of persuasion not simply as units of measurement or calculation. And some interesting science topics as well.

Ideological Structures / Creeds / Confessions

Structured Ideologies come in the form of philosophical schools, religious confessional or ideological systems, or consensus belief systems, are common human products involving intellect and structured language. Understanding and testing can reveal strengths and weaknesses of assertions and assumptions of such structures and even help evaluate which are capable of surviving the test of time. The primitive and conciliar Christian creeds as well as the Lutheran and other Reformation confessions are examples of interesting topics to be explored here.
