El Cantar de los Cantares es una celebración del amor sexual entre dos amantes y consiste de elogios entre los amantes, las manifestaciones de su deseo, y unas invitaciones a disfrutar de la unión sexual entre dos personas. Por ello, el Cantar es un libro único en la Biblia y no encaja en ninguno de los principales géneros bíblicos: no se ocupa ni de la Ley, ni de los profetas, no es propiamente un libro sapiencial, ni examina tampoco la alianza y ni siquiera se ocupa de Dios.

The Cid, an Arab nickname meaning "the Lord", has been called the "most famous Spaniard of all time". Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar was a Castillan military and political leader in medieval Spain. He was an outstanding general, first leading the Spanish against the Moors in victorious battles, then working as a mercenary-general for whoever would require a war won. He eventually captured the city of Valencia, keeping it to himself and ruling it until his death. His remarkable military ability made him the legendary national hero of Spain. He remains an idolized figure in Spain, and his name has been immortalized in every form of story.

However, all recognise "The Book of Enoch" as one of the most essential apocalyptic works outside of the Bible. This 1917 translation by R. H.

Understanding God grabs your mind and your spirit and does not let go. It's the result of lifetimes dedicated to the search to understand God, but it is not a work of religion or philosophy. It does not preach; it is not religious; it is not polarizing; it does not have an agenda. It is written in clear, sparse language that both nourishes and challenges your thinking about your relationship with the eternal, and how that relationship shapes your everyday decisions. Listeners are plentiful; thinkers are rare.

Nu se poate sa nu te întrebi, din cînd în cînd, cum se face ca cei virtuosi au necazuri, în vreme ce pacatosii o duc bine. si, în definitiv, cum se împaca portretul unui Dumnezeu bun, iubitor, milostiv, cu existenta ubicua a raului în lume.
