history homework

o As a new religion coming out of the aniconic background of Judaism and having no clear picture of what Jesus looked like, Early Christianity had to take some of its artistic ideas and symbols from the religious art of Greece and Rome. In your essay, provide examples of at least three “borrowings” of images from Roman art by Early Christian artists. Identify the images that are borrowed, their original religious meanings, and how the Christians gave them new meanings. Explain, where relevant, how the use of these Roman symbols either disguised Christian activity when the religion was illegal, and how it made Christian art appealing to polytheistic peoples as well after Constantine made Christianity the state religion.
o Discuss the symbolic meanings that fifteenth-century viewers would have comprehended in the objects contained in the domestic environments of either the Merode Alterpiece or the Arnolfini Double Portrait. How did the artists make these objects look so real?
o Which three religions lay claim to the importance of the location of “The Dome of the Rock?” Discuss why each of these religions believe this place to be “holy”. Who has control of this piece of land today? Which religion does the iconography of the interior and exterior decoration follow? Discuss these motifs in detail…colors, design, meaning, and whether you think the motifs are successful in telling the importance of “the Dome of the Rock”.
o Asian art combines material splendor and philosophical depth with an affinity for giving visual form to the spirituality of the natural world. Choose two pieces of art/architecture from two different countries that illustrate these qualities. Be sure to list names, titles, artist/architect, patron, country, and purpose of the art/architecture you chose. Discuss how they use/exploit each quality and whether or not you think the creation was a successful blend.
o Depictions of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus represent a continuing theme in the history of European Christian art, developed early on, and even continuing to this day. Describe the relationship between mother and son in each. Characterize the difference in artistic style. How does the choice of medium contribute to the distinction between them?

Problem Set #2  Due Week 5, Sunday 10 PM EST
Exercise 2.1: Comparing Test Scores  Adapted from Proceedings of CERME 6, January 28th-February 1st 2009,  Lyon France © INRP 2010 <www.inrp.fr/editions/cerme6>
Math Class 10a and Math Class 10b were given the same test. In class 10a, there are 30 students and in class  10b there are 29 students. The two box plots show the distributions of the scores of the students in these two  classes on this test:
What differences do you see in the test scores for these two classes? What recommendations might you make to  the teacher, based on these differences? Support your response with evidence from the box plots and your  understanding of box plots.
Exercise 2.2: Make Your Own Exam Scores  Adapted from Allan J. Rossman, Beth L. Chance, and Robin H. Lock, Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data and Fathom (Key  College Publishing, 2001), 87, 116.  For each of the following properties, construct you own data set of 10 hypothetical exam scores (integers  between 0 and 100, inclusive) satisfying that property. Describe how you arrived at each answer and include  a dotplot of the distribution. You should use Fathom to help you with this task.
(a) 90% of the scores are greater than the mean.  (b) The IQR is zero, and the median is less than the mean.  (c) Less than half of the test scores are within 1 SD of the mean.  (d) The SD is half as large as the range.
Exercise 2.3: ATM Withdrawals  Adapted from Allan J. Rossman, Beth L. Chance, and Robin H. Lock,  Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data and Fathom (Key College  Publishing, 2001), 116-117  LittleTown Bank is monitoring the withdrawals customers make from the  ATMs it has in three locations around  the town. They would like to know how withdrawals vary among the three  ATMS. They collect 50 random  samples of withdrawals from each ATM on a given day. The mean, median,  and standard deviation for the  withdrawals are summarized in the table below. The data for this problem  can be found in the Excel file  HypoATM.
HypoATM      m achine 1 m achine 2 m achine 3
70  30.3046
70
70  30.3046
70
70  30.3046
70  S1 = mean  S2 = stdDev  S3 = median
Notice that the measures of center and standard deviation are identical for these distributions. Does this mean  the distributions are identical? Justify your response with evidence in the data and your understanding of mean,  median, and standard deviation.
Exercise 2.4: Larger Mean or Larger Median?      A test to measure aggressive tendencies was given to a group of teenage boys who were members of a street  gang. The test is scored from 10 to 60, with a high score indicating more aggression. The histogram below  represents the results for these 28 boys. Which do you think will be larger, the mean or the median score? Or do  you think they will be similar? Explain without directly calculating the mean or the median.
Exercise 2.5: Higher Standard Deviation      For each pair of graphs, determine which graph (if either) has the higher standard deviation. Justify  your choices without calculating the exact standard deviations.

QUESTION #1 (400)

  • Give a definition of “canon.” Where does the word come from and what does it mean with relationship to the study of the Bible? Discuss the development of the New Testament and the criteria of canonicity used by the early church. Why did early Christians feel a need to establish an authoritative list of Scripture? What element in the criteria of canonicity is most important in your opinion? Which element is least important in your opinion? Be sure to give reasons why you chose these particular elements. How would you respond to a person who claimed that the canon of the Bible should still be open?

QUESTION #2 (400)

  • Define the terms “formally equivalent” and “functionally equivalent” with regard to translation theories. Which one is considered more “word-for-word” and which is more “thought-for-thought”? What criteria should a person use to choose a Bible translation? Respond to this quote: “If they can’t read Hebrew and Greek, then Christians should use at least 2 Bibles: one formal and one functional equivalent. That way they can see some of the nuances in the languages as understood by the translators.” Do you agree or disagree? Be sure to give reasons. What translation would you recommend for a new believer and why? What is your favorite translation?
