	Jesus Christ The Bearer Of The Water Of Life - A Christian reflection on the New Age
		New Age is a witness to nothing less than a cultural revolution, a complex reaction to the dominant ideas and values in western culture, and yet its idealistic criticism is itself ironically typical of the culture it criticizes.
		New Age teachers and therapies claim to offer the key to finding the correspondences between all the elements of the universe, so that people may modulate the tone of their lives and be in absolute harmony with each other and with everything around them, although there are different theoretical backgrounds.
		The New Age is 'of' the self in that it facilitates celebration of what it is to be and to become; and 'for' the self in that by differing from much of the mainstream, it is positioned to handle identity problems generated by conventional forms of life”.

	The Patriarchal Age
		This “age of the patriarchs” ended with the death of Jacob after which God worked exclusively with the nation of Israel: “You only have I known of all the families of the earth” (Amos 3:2).
		So it was here, in this Patriarchal age, as we observe God’s dealing with Abraham, that we see the first explicit promise of a future time for blessing all the families of the earth.
		The Patriarchal age, a time when God dealt with only a few individuals, is the predecessor of the Jewish age when he worked with one nation, and that age is the predecessor of the Gospel age when he works in all nations.

		The discharge of these offices was not, in patriarchal times, confined to a consecrated class; because the heads of houses rendered them for their families; and in this respect Melchizedek may have acted as the patriarchs.

	Women in the Aegean: Minoan Snake Goddess: Excursus. Matriliny in the Aegean Bronze Age
		By the time the Bronze Age myths and legends began to be written down, starting in the 8th century BCE with Homer, the patriarchal Greek culture which had by then established itself on the mainland wished to see reflected in them its own social value system.
		As was shown in the sections devoted to the Venus of Willendorf and to Menkaure and His Queen, the issue of whether or not patriarchy was preceded by matriarchy is a controversial one.
		A common feature of patriarchal and patrilineal cultures is "virilocality" (or patrilocality), which means that when a man and woman marry, the wife goes to live at her husband's family's residence.

	Blue Letter Bible - ISBE - Bible, The, Iv Canonicity
		The age of David and Solomon was one of high development in poetical and historical composition: witness the elegies of David (2Sa 1:17 ff; 3:33,34), and the finely-finished narrative of David’s reign (2Sa 9-20), the so-called "Jerusalem-Source," admitted to date "from a period very little later than that of the events related" (Driver, LOT, 183).
		Isaiah, in the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, is the greatest of the prophets in the Assyrian age, and his ministry reaches its climax in the deliverance of Jerusalem from Sennacherib (2Ki 18; 19; Isa 36; Isa 37).
		The age of Ezra and Nehemiah, therefore, is not that of the beginning, but, as Jewish tradition rightly held (Josephus; 2 Macc 2:13; Talmud), rather that of the completion, systematic delimitation, acknowledgment and formal close of the canon.

		However, the Bible does not explicitly state the scope of the antediluvian laws nor the occasion of their transmission from God to man. Thus, Talbot may possibly be right, yet it seems more satisfying to assume that the individual's conscience only reigned supreme in the temporal sphere.
		Albright held that, while all ages have examples of both modes of thinking, it is the general use of a particular mode that defines that state of development for a civilization.
		Albright further states, "in the domain of secular literature, of science, and in part of religion, the shift from proto-logical to the empirico-logical stage may be said to have substantially been completed in the third millennium" (30).

	"Comparative Customs and the Patriarchal Age" by Martin J. Selman
		Thus the unsuspecting reader of general works on the patriarchal period gained little knowledge of the wider context out of which the claimed parallels arose, even though he was frequently given the strong impression that the case for the patriarchs' historicity was almost beyond dispute.
		Thompson's view that neither the patriarchs nor the citizens of Nuzi were isolated from the rest of the ancient Near East as far as family law is concerned is an accurate assessment, though it is not a unique position.
		Since this tradition is firmly entrenched, at the very least the concept of a pre-exodus patriarchal era becomes a working hypothesis, and it is therefore quite legitimate and reasonable on the basis of the date generally agreed for the exodus to look for contacts in the early and mid second millennium.

	Print A little bit discussion on prophecy
		The office was first instituted under the Mosaic economy; but even then the gift was not always connected with the office; for example, Daniel was endowed largely with the gift, but was never called to the office, as living in a heathen court where he could not have exercised it.
		Thus the history of the Church is the history of God's revelations of Himself in His Son to man. The three divisions of this history, the Patriarchal, the Mosaic, and the Christian dispensations, are characterized each by a distinct mode of God's manifestations- that is, by a distinct form of the prophetic gift.
		In the first or patriarchal age, men work no miracles, unlike all other primeval histories, which abound in miracles wrought by men: a proof of genuineness.
