7.trinity
In the Christian religion, the Trinity or the Holy Trinity is the union of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in one God.
三位一体 Trinity
三位一体（拉丁语：Trinity），又译为三一真神、天主圣三、三一神、圣三一、三一神论，基督教神学术语，对于基督宗教的神YHWH（新教常汉译为上帝耶和华，天主教常汉译为天主雅威）的学说，创建于第一次尼西亚公会议的《尼西亚信经》，是基督教三大派别的基本信条。
三一论主张，圣父、圣子、圣神（天主教会译为圣神，东正教会和新教则译为圣灵）为同一本体（本性）、三个不同的位格，他们以希腊语：homoousios 来表达他们之间的关连。三位格为同一本质，三个位格为同一属性。通俗地说，仅有独一的天主；圣天父完全是天主，圣子完全是天主，圣神完全是天主；圣天父不是圣子，圣子不是圣神，圣神不是圣天父。亚他拿修信经对三一论得到了比较公认的解释。
《新约圣经》没有明确使用「三位一体」一词，三位一体的理论基础建基于一些圣经**。其中包括在马太福音28:19：“所以，你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗(浸)”。**用「名」是单数，三位一体的支持者指圣父、圣子、圣灵乃共用上帝的名。一些**被视为隐含三位一体的思想，而教父和护教士加以立论及宣讲。
历史上不断有一些基督教派及个别人士否定此教义。基督宗教的主流教会接纳三位一体为传统教义之一；反对方则支持“一位格论”，否定三一论。
传统天主教会把圣神降临节第一主日定为三一主日，纪念天主圣父、圣子、圣神是三位一体。

39.jerusalem
耶路撒冷
是位于以色列中部的都市，位于地中海和死海之间。耶路撒冷同时是犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教三大亚伯拉罕宗教（或称「三大天启宗教」）的圣地。自从前10世纪，所罗门圣殿在耶路撒冷建成，耶路撒冷一直是犹太教信仰的中心和最神圣的城市，昔日圣殿的遗迹西墙，仍是犹太教最神圣的所在。基督徒也相当重视耶路撒冷，因为根据《圣经》记载，耶稣在这里受难、埋葬、复活、升天。伊斯兰教亦将耶路撒冷列为麦加、麦地那之后的第三圣地，以纪念穆罕默德的夜行登霄，并在圣殿山上建造了2座清真寺——阿克萨清真寺和圆顶清真寺来纪念这一事件。
1980年，以色列立法认定耶路撒冷是该国“永远的和不可分割的首都”。但是，大多数国家不承认耶路撒冷是以色列的首都，认为该市的最终地位尚未确定，有待以色列和巴勒斯坦双方谈判决定。多数国家都将大使馆设在特拉维夫。而巴勒斯坦自治政府也宣布耶路撒冷将是巴勒斯坦国的首都。因此，今天耶路撒冷仍然是巴以冲突的中心。以色列现行政区划上设耶路撒冷区，面积652平方公里，只有一个分区，即耶路撒冷分区。
2006年，耶路撒冷市区面积为126平方公里，人口约724,000人，这两项指标均居以色列和巴勒斯坦各城市之首。
今天的耶路撒冷，是一个对比强烈的城市，不同文化、不同宗教、不同民族、社会不同阶层，同处一城；城市的东西两部分截然不同，发展水平悬殊。老城雅法门以西的西耶路撒冷（1967年以前属于以色列的市区）是现代以色列的核心地带（如果再继续向西数十公里，就是以特拉维夫为中心的「古什·但」区域），而老城及其东、北、南三面的东耶路撒冷（1967年后以色列**的争议区域）则以巴勒斯坦人为主。最特别的地方是面积只有1平方公里，被一圈城墙所围绕的耶路撒冷老城，其中又分为4个宗教与种族聚居区：犹太区、基督徒区、亚美尼亚区和穆斯林区。耶路撒冷最重要的也引起重大争议的宗教圣地，均位于此处：犹太教的西墙和圣殿山、穆斯林的圆顶清真寺和阿克萨清真寺，以及基督徒的圣墓教堂和苦路。

11."A city upon a hill":源自圣经马太福音五章十四节，耶稣说：“你们是世上的光。城造在山上，是不能隐藏的。”
“A city upon a hill",山巅之城：举世瞩目之下，言为人师，行为世范。这是美国政治家心中的美国。
1630年，英国律师，清教徒John Winthrop，率领1000多在英国受迫害的清教徒乘船前往新大陆，期望并坚信在大西洋的另一边找到自己的“应许之地”。他们到达波士顿，还没下船，他就告诫大家：“We must always
consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill—the eyes of all people are upon
us.”。早期移民美国的清教徒整体受教育程度很高，不少牛津，剑桥（大多数）毕业的。六年后，1636年就创立了哈佛大学。美国精神跟清教徒精神一脉相承，包括开拓，进取，创新，勤奋，节俭，诚实守信，回馈社会的意识，和维护正义的勇气等等。
此后的美国政治家经常援引John Winthrop上面那句话，愿意相信美国是God's country,
"a city upon a hill"。比如肯尼迪总统1961年说：“Today the eyes of all people are truly upon us—and our governments, in every branch, at every level, national, state and local, must be as a city upon a hill — constructedand inhabited by men aware of their great trust and their great responsibilities.”
Day24 总结反思
一、文章读后感。
首先这篇文章结构清晰，开篇以自古政治宗教不分家打开话卷，然后紧接着介绍了几十年了国家政治与宗教的发展，当然啦，还有层层紧扣着的彼此联系。宗教信徒的心态变化和面对局势的态度，当然啦，还有我们伟大的党！最后峰回路转，表示两者间依旧相互联系，只不过这一次大家彼此变得更加独立，毕竟大家都长大了不是~~
二、阅读感受
本次阅读可以说是比较顺畅的，不知道是不是因为熬到了第7个模块O(∩_∩)O。尽管生词不少，但还是能立马GET到作者表达的用意。一直知道经济学人是个好东西，但表示真心不知道它原来这么棒。最近跟着甘比，认认真真读了几篇文章，才发现里面的文章对国际形势拿捏分析的是如此准确。作为一名英专生，赶快抱大腿~~除了学习里面的生词，自然还是要明白作者传递出来的思想。顺便说一句，读经济，真的能读到自己很多平时见不到的词汇——当然，也可能是因为自己词汇量太小......
三、知识补充
在读这篇文章的时候，就注意到了country, nation, state。
