Hardly ever. Unless I am watching a movie that takes place at that time or if someone asks a question about it. But literally never other than those times.

Equestrian should be accepted for the Roman question - they were also members of the nobility.

Was the term “equestrian” really used to refer to an individual member of the equestrian order, though? Or is it just an adjective describing the order to which equites belonged?

The definition you gave for Christian would also describe a Trinitarian.

Or an Episcopalian, or Presbyterian, for example. These are instantiations of the larger category, which is the best fit for the clue.

What I meant was... The definition is a BETTER fit for trinitarian. Both should be accepted.

Well, from a purely logical perspective, trinitarians are people who believe in the triune god (father, son and holy spirit). Thus it's a more specific term that percludes belief in the divinity of Jesus but is not exclusive to it. All trinitarians believe in Jesus as God but not all believers in Jesus as God are trinitarians. There may be some sects that reject the divinity of the Holy Spirit, for example, although I believe none do so in modern times. No modern Christian sect reject the divinity of Jesus either, so I think the clue is fine as it is.

TomatosRaafatos: I think you're incorrect here. The largest sects, and therefore the vast majority of practicing christians around the world, are certainly members of churches that are trinitarian / nicene / chalcedonian... however, much like Roman era arians, present day unitarians generally believe that Jesus existed, and that he was a prophet or a savior, but not that he was truly divine, in the way that mainline catholic, orthodox, or protestant sects do. Something similar is true for certain groups of pentecostals and mormons, and probably a few other small groups I'm missing. And then, of course, most muslims also believe that Jesus was a prophet, but not actually divine.

This is one of the issues faced by a religion as widespread as Christianity. Beliefs have changed a lot, due to syncretism, deuterocanonical/extra-biblical books, or different interpretations. It seems that nowadays, knowing that someone is a Christian doesn't tell you as much about what they believe as it used to.

That being said, the definition of "Christian" is that they follow and believe in the teachings of Christ[Jesus]. Jesus equaled himself with God and accepted worship, according to the Bible(if we're counting the Bible as his teaching to define Christianity, which is what the Nicene Creed used). This could be taken to mean that he taught that he was divine. You could also reason that most people have this definition of Christian, i.e that he was divine.

Indeed, some early Christians rejected the divinity of Jesus (such as in the Arianism)

just love nitpicking :)

Not so obvious this one. Made me wonder what the answer would be for "someone who works with letters".

I work with statisticians, and several of them told me that they're actually "bad with numbers". Similar to general mathematics, actually, analytical statistics is more about logic, which test to apply when etc. than about actual numbers.

I'm studying mathematical logic and set theory. In these fields you first have to define numbers before you can use them and you can actually do quite a lot of mathematics without even defining them. I did a minor in statistics, loads more numbers there. You even have to calculate something every now and then.

The "politician" one is slightly misleading. You can have a whole career in politics without ever being elected or standing for election. Maybe worth rephrasing - though I wouldn't know how.

Agree. Pretty much anyone in a public position holding political power or trying to achieve that kind of a position can be called "politician", even a dictator who has reached his/her position (or is trying to reach it) thru a coup/revolution.

I agree, the clue for politician was a bad one imo. It made me think about something along the lines of a candidate ( and was thinking is english had more special words for that)

A politician generally is allready in the position it wants to be, somewhere in politics. Some ofcourse strive to get higher. But in my country I don't think all the ministers want to be prime minister, and the local politicians definitely usually want to rise to national politics.
