What was the intended purpose of the frescoes from the house in Dura-Europos?

History
1 answer:
erik [133]3 years ago
4 0

<em>Dura-Europos</em> was an ancient city located in the vicinity of village of <em>Salhiyé</em>, Syria, along the Euphrates river, close to the Iraq border.

Christian places needed to be discreet or secret around 240 A.D.; thus earlier congregations worshiped in private houses of wealthy members; some of those houses were converted into churches, and the house in <em>Dura-Europos</em> was one of those conversions.

So the purpose of the frescoes was to celebrate Christian worship secretly, and to illustrate the old testament writings, mostly for the illiterate people who couldn't read the sacred books, as a medium of  what they called "<em>hope of new spiritual birth</em>".

How might your view of the state of nature influence your ideas about government?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Key to this is the concept of a social contract. This is kind of like a hypothetical agreement between subjects or citizens and an authority or a ruler. So, it's not as if we sign a piece of paper or anything like that, but rather we kind of form a contract among ourselves to maintain order. Different philosophers have different perspectives on what would happen in a state of nature. Let's talk about three major philosophers who wrote about the idea of a state of nature.
