Radium \Ra`di*um\, n. [NL., fr. L. radius ray.] (Chem.)       An intensely radioactive metallic element found (combined) in       minute quantities in pitchblende, and various other uranium       minerals. Symbol, Ra; atomic weight, 226.4. Radium was       discovered by M. and Mme. Curie, of Paris, who in 1902       separated compounds of it by a tedious process from       pitchblende. Its compounds color flames carmine and give a       characteristic spectrum. It resembles barium chemically.       Radium preparations are remarkable for maintaining themselves       at a higher temperature than their surroundings, and for       their radiations, which are of three kinds: alpha rays, beta       rays, and gamma rays (see these terms). By reason of these       rays they ionize gases, affect photographic plates, cause       sores on the skin, and produce many other striking effects.       Their degree of activity depends on the proportion of radium       present, but not on its state of chemical combination or on       external conditions.The radioactivity of radium is therefore       an atomic property, and is explained as result from a       disintegration of the atom. This breaking up occurs in at       least seven stages; the successive main products have been       studied and are called          {radium emanation} or exradio,          {radium A},          {radium B},          {radium C}, etc. (The emanation is a heavy gas, the later             products are solids.) These products are regarded as             unstable elements, each with an atomic weight a little             lower than its predecessor. It is possible that lead is             the stable end product. At the same time the light gas             helium is formed; it probably consists of the expelled             alpha particles. The heat effect mentioned above is             ascribed to the impacts of these particles. Radium, in             turn, is believed to be formed indirectly by an             immeasurably slow disintegration of uranium.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Redemption       the purchase back of something that had been lost, by the       payment of a ransom. The Greek word so rendered is       _apolutrosis_, a word occurring nine times in Scripture, and       always with the idea of a ransom or price paid, i.e., redemption       by a lutron (see Matt. 20:28; Mark 10:45). There are instances       in the LXX. Version of the Old Testament of the use of _lutron_       in man's relation to man (Lev. 19:20; 25:51; Ex. 21:30; Num.       35:31, 32; Isa. 45:13; Prov. 6:35), and in the same sense of       man's relation to God (Num. 3:49; 18:15).                There are many passages in the New Testament which represent       Christ's sufferings under the idea of a ransom or price, and the       result thereby secured is a purchase or redemption (comp. Acts       20:28; 1 Cor. 6:19, 20; Gal. 3:13; 4:4, 5; Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:14;       1 Tim. 2:5, 6; Titus 2:14; Heb. 9:12; 1 Pet. 1:18, 19; Rev.       5:9). The idea running through all these texts, however various       their reference, is that of payment made for our redemption. The       debt against us is not viewed as simply cancelled, but is fully       paid. Christ's blood or life, which he surrendered for them, is       the "ransom" by which the deliverance of his people from the       servitude of sin and from its penal consequences is secured. It       is the plain doctrine of Scripture that "Christ saves us neither       by the mere exercise of power, nor by his doctrine, nor by his       example, nor by the moral influence which he exerted, nor by any       subjective influence on his people, whether natural or mystical,       but as a satisfaction to divine justice, as an expiation for       sin, and as a ransom from the curse and authority of the law,       thus reconciling us to God by making it consistent with his       perfection to exercise mercy toward sinners" (Hodge's Systematic       Theology).
