 Edward Caird [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
A Scottish philosopher of the latter half of the nineteenth century, Edward Caird was one of the key figures of the idealist movement that dominated British philosophy from 1870 until the mid 1920s.
Caird shows the spiritual sense of humanity as at first dominated by the object, but constrained by its own abstractions to swing around so as to fall under the sway of the subject.
In general, Caird's views on religion were importantly related to his understanding of ethics, and Caird borrows from Hegel (and Goethe) the ethical idea of self sacrifice, or 'dying to live,' which was to have an important role in the work of Bosanquet.

 Earl Doherty. On the Case for Christ. A Critique
Sir, you are taking advantage of silence again; you are assuming that we have all data in hand and all sources have survived from this period.
No, sir, we will not remain content with your further generalizations and rehashing of your much-refuted "netherworld Jesus" thesis -- and moreover, it is extremely unprofessional to cite a work such as Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark before it has been subject to extensive critical review.
Perhaps, sir, if that Jew had come saying that Jesus was miraculously producing spears and armor, and had that peasant and others come as well and knocked the Roman solider senseless, then perhaps there would have been some reaction by the Romans.

 Coats Land - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coats Land is a region in Antarctica which lies westward of Queen Maud Land and forms the eastern shore of the Weddell Sea, extending in a general northeast-southwest direction between 20º00´W and 36º00´W. The northeast part was discovered from the Scotia by William S. Bruce, leader of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, 1902-04.
He gave the name Coats Land for James Coats, Jr., and Major Andrew Coats, the two chief supporters of the expedition.
Caird Coast is that portion of the coast of Coats Land lying between the terminus of Stancomb-Wills Glacier, in 20º00´W, and the vicinity of the Hayes Glacier, in 27º54´W. Shackleton named it for Sir James Key Caird, patron of the expedition.

The attempt of Sir Francis Palgrave to show that the story is a mere monk's tale is to be rejected.
He was a determined opponent of the scheme of King James to introduce prelacy into the Church of Scotland; in 1617 he 341presented a remonstrance to the king, and argued so boldly and successfully in support of his position that he was imprisoned and ultimately ordered to leave the country.
After the death of James (1625) he returned to Scotland, but did not obtain a charge until 1640, when he was appointed minister at Pencaitland, East Lothian.

 frontline: apocalypse!: book of revelation: understanding the book of revelation
The key to understanding the situation is in the vibrant symbolic language that is so typical of ancient apocalyptic writings.
Both Caird and Ford thus argue that the purpose of Revelation was to prepare and strengthen the Christians of Asia Minor, as adressed in the letters to the seven churches, so that they will remain faithful against the impending persecution.
Hemer's approach, however, is largely a reworking of the older view of Sir William Ramsay near the beginning of the XXth century, which tries to equate archaeological evidence of the region with comments in Revelation.
