  Third Umpire
Yet it was his 144 in Sri Lanka, when he came in at number three with his side 80 behind in their second innings that provides enduring proof of his skills as a batsman.
Second played third at Lords and Nottinghamshire batted first in the knowledge that a draw would be a good result for them.
Matt Walker scored centuries in both innings of Kent’s draw with Lancashire while the Andys Caddick and Bichel both put in good all round performances in Somerset and Essex’s victories.

  Imperialism 101 : Houston Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Wealth is transferred from Third World peoples to the economic elites of Europe and North America (and more recently Japan) by direct plunder, by the expropriation of natural resources, the imposition of ruinous taxes and land rents, the payment of poverty wages, and the forced importation of finished goods at highly inflated prices.
Third World economies remain fragmented and unintegrated both between each other and within themselves, both in the flow of capital and goods and in technology and organization.
In all, the Third World is something of a capitalist paradise, offering life as it was in Europe and the United States during the nineteenth century, with a rate of profit vastly higher than what might be earned today in a country with strong economic regulations.

 The ancient and medieval Khiva
A third stratum consisted of the remains of raw walls, uncovered to a length of 4.7 m., preserved to a height of 2.55-3 m.
The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth strata were not found, although pieces of ceramic from the seventh — eighth and twelfth — thirteenth centuries A.D. were found.
The seventeenth — nineteenth century cultural layers of the excavation appeared to be eroded and it was difficult to sort the strata.

 Sardinia: Frontier, Cities, and Towns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
During the second century, the area immediately downslope from a temple, which had an access ramp built in the second century BCE on Italic models, was restructured to include an amphitheater.
A temple that had been build in the third or second century BCE may have been among the first visible manifestations of the Roman period; it probably survived through the rest of the Republican period and is the only known structure from that epoch.
Two other baths are known, Terme Maetzke of the second century CE and Terme Pallottino of the late third or early fourth century; near the latter are remains of a peristyle building the origins of which seem to date to the first century CE.

 The Abiding Gift of Prophecy-Evidences in the Third and Fourth Centuries: Christian Resource Centre (Bermuda)
In three centuries of desperate effort by the Roman government to blot out the church of Christ from the face of the earth, it has discovered itself to be at war with an omnipotent power-something vastly more than a mere earthly force.
Another great peril that befell the church at the close of the third century was the seeming surrender of the pagan state to the Christian church.
It is a singular trait of the corrupt Christianity of this period that the chief characteristic of the eminent prelates was a fierce and ungovernable pride.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.09.11
A brief overview of the urban development from the second century BC through the third century AD shows that the city was Hellenistic in overall conception but with influence of Roman ideas from the beginning of the Imperial period onward.
From the end of the third century settlement descended towards the plain, but Abbasoglu does not go into the details of the layout of this expanded city, partly because not much is known about this phase yet.
The development during the prosperous period of the first and second centuries AD and the impoverishment of the late third and fourth centuries are described in more detail, and the many photographs added to this paper provide a good illustration of this point.

If corporations lost all their Third World investments, they argue, many of them could still survive on their European and North American markets.
We hear that Third World peoples are culturally retarded in their attitudes, customs, and technical abilities.
When we say a country is "underdeveloped," we are implying that it is backward and retarded in some way, that its people have shown little capacity to achieve and evolve.

Third World poverty, called "underdevelopment," is treated by most Western observers as an original historic condition.
We are asked to believe that it always existed, that poor countries are poor because their lands have always been infertile or their people unproductive.
We hear that Third World poverty is due to overpopulation, too many people having too many children to feed.

 Ethiopia - The Aksumite State
During the sixth and seventh centuries, the Aksumite state lost its possessions in southwest Arabia and much of its Red Sea coastline and gradually shrank to its core area, with the political center of the state shifting farther and farther southward.
Gedara, who lived in the late second and early third centuries, is referred to as the king of Aksum in inscriptions written in Gi'iz (also seen as Ge'ez), the Semitic language of the Aksumite kingdom.
Over the next century and a half, Aksum was increasingly cut off from its overseas entrepôts and as a result entered a period of prolonged decline, gradually relinquishing its maritime trading network and withdrawing into the interior of northern Ethiopia.

In the second and third centuries there were Christians who believed that the Jewish Scripture (the Christian "Old Testament") was inspired by the one true God.
In the second and third centuries there were Christians who believed that Jesus was both divine and human, God and man. There were other Christians who argued that he was completely divine and not human at all.
It is striking that, for centuries, virtually everyone who studied the history of early Christianity simply accepted the version of the early conflicts written by the orthodox victors.

 Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.1, Entry 152, BOURGEOISIE: Library of Economics and Liberty
The parliaments thus became an inferior kind of aristocracy, and in the last two centuries of the ancient French royalty the development of the third estate was rather a social than a political fact.
From the twelfth century the third estate had tended toward the suppression of privileges, even when it had itself granted them, to guarantee its own liberties.
In this sense the expression third estate is not sufficient to define it; for the third estate was not the bourgeoisie, but the nation minus the nobility and the clergy.

In three centuries of desperate effort by the Roman government to blot out the church of Christ from the face of the earth, it has discovered itself to be at war with an omnipotent power—something vastly more than a mere earthly force.
This, we understand, foretells seeming rejection of the pagan gods and religion of Rome, and the establishment in their place of the papal church—with the thinly disguised principles and practices of that selfsame paganism.
How the dire inroads of centuries of almost imperceptible but nevertheless steady progress were made toward this satanic achievement, is condensed into this one comprehensive statement:

 Tertullian: John KAYE, Ecclesiastical History of the Second and Third Centuries (1845). Preface to the Second Edition. ...
The authors of those systems he divides into two classes, the Idealists and the Realists; the Idealists he again divides into the Ultra, from whom the Gnostics took their rise, and the Moderate, xiv who formed the Alexandrian School.
Centuries have since elapsed, during which no miraculous narrative deserving credit can be produced.
Having thus prepared the way, by analyzing the works of the five principal authors of the second and third centuries, the learned author will proceed to the completion of his Ecclesiastical History of that period.

 The Baptismal Formula in Scripture and History
We are to fulfill the command of that verse as the early church did, by invoking the name of Jesus at baptism.
Respected historical sources verify that the early Christian church did not use a threefold baptismal formula but invoked the name of Jesus in baptism well into the second and third centuries.
In the 3rd century baptism in the name of Christ was still so widespread that Pope Stephen, in opposition to Cyprian of Carthage, declared it to be valid."

 frontline: apocalypse!: primary sources: apocalyptic literature
A future-looking sense of history was born, and we see these ideas especially in some of the proto-apocalyptic writers from the end of the prophetic tradition, such as the "Third Isaiah" writer and the compilers of Ezekiel.
The full flowering of apocalyptic, however, required other elements, and chief among these were influences from first the Persian culture and then the Greek, in the period from the fifth to the third centuries BCE.
Apocalyptic thinking was extremely influential in Jewish tradition between the second century BCE and third century CE; however, the disastrous failure of the lltwo revolts against Rome (in 70 and 135 CE, respectively) caused the radical political dimension of apocalyptic tradition to undergo some key changes.

Under the title of Fragments of the Second and Third Centuries are grouped together, in the Edinburgh series, a mass of valuable illustrative material, which might have been distributed with great advantage through the former volumes, in strict order of chronology.
Something is due, however, to the unity of authorship, and to the marked design of the editors of the original edition to let these Fragments stand together, as the work of their accomplished collaborator, the Rev. B.
The fragments that follow are the productions of writers who lived during the second century or the beginning of the third.

 H.B.Swete, ‘Eucharistic Belief in the Second and Third Centuries’   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the state of Christian opinion in reference to the Holy Eucharist during the interval between the end of the Apostolic age and the beginning of the last persecution.
Cyprian contends that the Christian Priest ‘offers in the Church a true and full Sacrifice to God the Father,’ if he adheres strictly to the words and actions of Christ at the Institution; and this Sacrifice is identical with the Sacrifice of the Cross, which the Eucharist by Christ's ordinance commemorates.
We shall endeavour to ascertain the exact meaning attached in the second and third centuries to the words of Christ which declare the Bread and the Cup to be His Body and Blood.

 Third Millennium Bible (TMB)
It is an accurate updating of the venerable and historic Authorized (King James) Version (AV) of A. While easier to read and understand than the Authorized Version, it preserves the traditional biblical language and sacred message of its historic predecessor.
The Third Millennium Bible represents a return to the use of traditional Biblical English which has inspired and uplifted readers for centuries.
Unlike the colloquial language of commerce and the media used in most contemporary translations of the last fifty years, Biblical English is distinctive and can be recognized immediately as the Word of God.
