The Books Of Kings
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper discusses 1,2 Kings. This was originally one work but it was divided in the mid-1400s into the two. General information is provided about Kings, such as the author, the dates and the years covered and the message of the Books. The focus of these two Books is the spiritual relationship of the monarchs with God. When the king followed the rules as established in the Mosaic and other covenants, the nation was blessed; when he did not, the nation was punished. Kings begins in the last days of the reign of David and ends with the destruction of the great Temple in Jerusalem. This is a tragic and a sad story but it is also one of hope and encouragement.

The Issue of Women's Rights in Egyptian Foreign Policy
[ send me this paper ]
Egyptian foreign policy is at a fulcrum in terms of the world situation. Economic policy decrees that ties with the Western World be maintained, while defense policy makes it imperative that ties with neighboring middle East and African countries take precedence. The United States, in particular, sees itself as a leader in the establishment of human rights on a global level. Foreign policy reflects these concepts. Third world countries such as Egypt are dependent on the foreign aid and good relationship with the United States and other Western powers for continued economic development. This 10 page paper explores the stand of Egyptian policy on issues of Women's rights and the role of women. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
