- John Milton (1608–1674)
a.paradise lost
Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. The poem concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
b.Samson Agonistes
Samson Agonistes (Greek for "Samson the agonist") is a tragic closet drama by John Milton. Samson Agonistes combines Greek Tragedy with Hebrew Scripture, which alters both forms. Milton believed that Bible was better in classical forms than those written by the Greeks and Romans. In his introduction, Milton discusses Aristotle's definition of tragedy and sets out his own paraphrase of it to connect it to Samson Agonistes.
- Eve
Wife of Adam, is a figure in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. According to the creation myth of Abrahamic religions, she is the first woman created by God (Yahweh). Her husband was Adam, from whose rib God created her to be his companion. She succumbs to the serpent's temptation via the suggestion that to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would improve on the way God had made her, and that she would not die, and she, believing the lie of the serpent rather than the earlier instruction from God, shares the fruit with Adam. As a result, the first humans are expelled from the Garden of Eden and are cursed.

- Cain&Abel
Cain and Abel were, according to the Book of Genesis, two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain is described as a crop farmer and his younger brother Abel as a shepherd. Cain was the first human born and Abel was the first human to die. Cain committed the first murder by killing his brother. Interpretations of Genesis 4 by ancient and modern commentators have typically assumed that the motives were jealousy and anger. - Genesis narrative: God asked Cain, "Where is Abel thy brother?" Cain replied, "I know not: am I my brother's keeper?"
- Parable
A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, which illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from a fable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. A parable is a type of analogy.
Some scholars of the canonical gospels and the New Testament apply the term "parable" only to the parables of Jesus, though that is not a common restriction of the term.
- Bethlehem: birthplace of Jesus
- The New Testament: written in Greek
The Old Testament: written in Hebrew - Gospel
A gospel is an account describing the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. The most widely known examples are the four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Christianity places a high value on the four canonical gospels, which it considers to be a revelation from God and central to its belief system. Of the many gospels written in antiquity, only four gospels came to be accepted as part of the New Testament, or canonical.

- Pietà (1498-1499)

Torah (in Hebrew means "Instruction, Teaching"), or what is often referred to in English as "Pentateuch"(摩西五經), is the central concept in the religious Judaic tradition. It can most specifically mean the first five books of the twenty-four books of the Tanakh.
- Fatal woman: Salome
A parallel passage to Mark is in the Gospel of Matthew:
But on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him. But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist. And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given. And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.
- Seven veils dance
The Dance of the Seven Veils is a term used to refer to the dance performed by Salome before Herod Antipas. It is an elaboration on the biblical tale of the execution of John the Baptist, which refers to Salome dancing before the king, but does not give the dance a name.
