Featured Article: Prose
Prose is a form of written or spoken language that follows the natural flow of speech, uses a language's ordinary grammatical structures, or follows the conventions of formal academic writing. It differs from most traditional poetry, where the form consists of verse (writing in lines) based on rhythmic meter or rhyme. The word "prose" first appears in English in the fourteenth century. Works of philosophy, history, economics, journalism, and most fiction are examples of works written in prose.
Popular Article: Pauline epistles
The Pauline epistles are the thirteen books of the New Testament attributed to Paul the Apostle. These letters were written to churches that Paul had established in Europe and Asia Minor. They were written to exhort the believers in their faith, or frequently to solve problems that had arisen in the church communities. As part of the canon of the New Testament, they are foundational texts for both Christian theology and ethics.
