Alexander PopeNot only were the Jews expecting the birth of a Great King, a Wise Man and a Saviour, but Plato and Socrates also spoke of the Logos and of the Universal Wise Man 'yet to come'. Confucius spoke of 'the Saint'; the Sibyls, of a 'Universal King'; the Greek dramatist, of a saviour and redeemer to unloose man from the 'primal eldest curse'.

This fact alone distinguishes Him from all other religious leaders.

I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too.

We're the ones that you're taking seriously?

Chris CrutcherI started doing some more specific research on Wales in that period because I like the idea of being authentic to the territory, and with that came the knowledge that there was this great rebellion that was happening with the Marcher barons and conflict with the king.
