But the question which comes to our mind is, why do we give the question of religion this preference and privilege to the point of excepting it from the comprehensive moral principle which governs the operation and content of certainty? . . . Harmonizing our opinions with our emotional nature cannot form acceptable justification for our belief in these opinions, not if we wish to have studied...

...co-operative with one another and subservient before Allah. This is clearly distinguished from mere obedience between created beings which the word ta‘a indicates. Sayyid Qutb points out that this choice of words indicates that the Qur'an intends there to be a personal emotional response rather than the external ‘following of orders’ which the ta‘a (obey) would suggest. As for the use of that word ta‘a and the remainder of the verse, ‘As for those (feminine plural) from whom you fear nushuz . . . ’, it should first be noted that the word nushuz...

...project in the Lyrical Ballads is to construct a rural mythos directed at the urban centres of culture. Purifying the language of the ‘extravagances’ it had been cultivating for more than fifty years would, he hoped, help individuals and society at large recover spiritual and emotional equilibrium. Wordsworth's conviction here stems partly from his views on habitual activities, and partly from his ideas about the relation of poetry and language to thought and feeling. For our continued influxes of feeling are modified and directed by our thoughts, which are...

...is to enjoy their work. Qoheleth seems to be claiming, then, that there are grounds for believing in some sort of judgement after death, but that this is deliberately hidden by God, who prevents human comprehension of the world. The argument is followed, in 4:1–3 , by a more emotional reaction to the seemingly perverted nature of the world, as Qoheleth declares it better to be dead or unborn than to have to experience the horror of oppression. He emphasizes the lack of any comforter for the oppressed, and the passage as a whole seems to react against the...

...oxen and donkeys, a heavenly fire consumed his sheep, Chaldeans stole his camels, and a mighty wind demolished the house in which his children were feasting, killing all of them. These messengers mirror the heavenly ones reporting to YHWH; only the fourth interjects a sign of emotional distress ( hinnēh ). The Sabeans were probably northern Arabians rather than people from the south or Africa. Chaldeans were semi-nomads, not the later Neo-Babylonians of the seventh and sixth centuries bce , who conquered Judah in 587 bce and took many citizens of Judah into...

However, the link between the emotional personal appeals of v. 11 and the entreaties in vv. 12 and 19–20 makes it preferable to align 4:12–20 closely with the preceding verses. In v. 12 Paul opens this section with a term of endearment, ‘friends’, which he has not used since 3:15 ; in v. 19 he refers to the Galatians as his ‘little children’. Although vv. 12–20 have been dubbed an erratic and emotional aside, these verses make explicit Paul's passionate concern for the Galatians, a concern...
