•  Thorn in the flesh

  "Thorn in the flesh" is an expression for something that is painful and long-lasting. The source of this expression is Paul of Tarsus, who uses it in 2 Cor. 12:7-10: 2co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

•  New Perspective on Paul

  The "New Perspective on Paul" is a significant shift in the way many scholars, especially Protestant scholars, interpret the writings of the Apostle Paul. Since the Protestant Reformation (c. 1517), studies of Paul's writings have been heavily influenced by Lutheran and Reformed views (called the "old perspective") that are said to ascribe negative attributes associated with sixteenth century Roman Catholicism to first century Judaism.

•  Lunar phase

  A lunar phase or phase of the moon refers to the appearance of the illuminated portion of the Moon as seen by an observer, usually on Earth. The lunar phases vary cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun. One half of the lunar surface is always illuminated by the Sun, and hence is bright, but the portion of the illuminated hemisphere that is visible to an observer can vary from 100% to 0%.
