 Ooparts & Ancient High Technology--Evidence of Noah's Flood?-Literature, Art & History Crawling with Dinosaurs
On the other hand, those of us who do believe the Bible, and thus would expect that man and dinosaur (or dragon) co-existed in the past, would expect; and find it strange if stories concerning the flood and dinosaurs did not abound in most cultures of the past.
If dinosaur and man co-existed, where there was writing, art, literature and artifacts, among them should be indications of this interaction.
When you look at the problem of dinosaur extinction this way, you quickly learn, if you really want to, that large creatures with reptilian characteristics, some flying, some two-legged, some four-legged, some marine, appear in the art, sculpture, literature, chronicles, and legends of virtually every culture in world history.

  glbtq >> literature >> English Literature: Restoration and Eighteenth Century
As the 1680s wore out, it was clear that sodomy had become a mainstay of English literature, especially on the stage, where it was always implicit that homosexuality was both flourishing and fashionable in English society at large.
It was perfidious, of course, to allude to the king's sexuality on the stage, but the ephemeral literature of the 1690s is permeated with references, to say nothing of benign allusions, to William and his
In summary, Restoration drama displays a broad variety of homosexual male figures ranging from the genitally active braggadocio to the passively effeminate married man. It may be the richest treasure trove in English literature for its diversity of homosexual types.

 Cotton Mather - Biblia Americana
As his correspondence with Matthew Henry and others demonstrates, Mather realized that he would not be able to compete with his peers in the London publishing market unless his own work employed a different approach to the standard fair of orthodox commentaries.
What makes Mather's approach so rewarding--even to neophytes--is that he supplies his interpretations with a vast array of citations from the Church Fathers, medieval and post-Reformation theologians, from Rabbinic literature, ancient history, classical and modern philosophy, philology, and from the natural sciences of his day.
By and large, his annotations turn into independent essays that go far beyond the immediate concerns of the biblical verse under discussion.
