Author: Christoph Heilig File Type: pdf Jorg Frey has devoted decades of his scholarly career to exploring the rich landscape of Johns Gospel. He chronicles the results of this work in this volume, demonstrating how the Gospel sits at the very heart of the New Testament witness. This volume underscores the central message Jorg Frey sees in the Gospel Johns post-Easter memory (anamnesis) of the Jesus story aims at communicating that Jesus, who was crucified, has actually been glorified and is present in the realm of God, and in spite of his apparent absence from this world he is present in the community of believers through the Spirit. For John, according to Jorg Frey, there is no concealment of the cruel reality of Jesus death on the cross. The narrative of Jesus trial and his crucifixion deliberately shapes its readers perception of the truth of faith visualized in Johns narration. In the end, readers should contemplate the pierced, crucified one as the source of their life and their communion with God. Published in the US by Baylor University Press, Waco. **

Author: Michael J. Rosen File Type: pdf Between the discovery that there is a design which only his poetry enables him to find as he confronts the world and the discovery that such a design is a snare, merely a means of keeping him from further discernment, Michael Rosen is wedged, is productively pinioned, [ should say, for it is just this pressure--of meaning discerned on one hand and of meaning distrusted on the other--which makes the tension of these poems, a new version of the old wars between mind and body, memory and hope, self and surround. How tender and inclusive are Rosens preoccupations, and how disabused his conclusions! One reads these playful, stricken poems with wonder--how will such ventures conclude, or even persist? What will happen next? Here is a poet who persuades us, as the saying goes, to stay tuned.--Richard Howard Originally published in 1985.

Rosen has been called the unofficial organizer of the National Humor Writers Union, a pretty good idea for an organization that could offer all kinds of benefits to its struggling members (currently numbering more than 300 who have never been published in The New Yorker or aired on NPR). He has been called other things as well, like in third grade, and then in seventh grade especially, by certain older kids known as hoods, who made his life miserable, specifically during gym class, lunch period and after school. Later, much later, the Washington Post called him a fidosopher because of his extensive publications on dogs, dog training, and dog-besotted people. The New York Times called him an example of creative philanthropy in their special Giving section for persuading writers, artists, photographers and illustrators to contribute their time and talents to books that benefit Share Our Strengths anti-hunger efforts and animal-welfare causes. As an author of a couple dozen books for children, hes been called...okay, enough with the calling business. For nearly twenty years, he served as literary director at the Thurber House, a cultural center in the restored home of James Thurber. Garrison Keillor, bless his heart, called it (sorry) the capital of American humor. While there, Rosen helped to create The Thurber Prize for American Humor, a national book award for humor writing, and edited four anthologies of Thurbers previously unpublished and uncollected work, most recently The Dog Department James Thurber on Hounds, Scotties and Talking Poodles, happily published by HarperCollins as well. In his capacity as editor for this biennial, Rosen reads manuscripts year round, beseeching and beleaguering the nations most renowned and well-published authors, and fending off the rants and screeds from folks whove discovered the ease of self-publishing on the web. Last summer, Rosen edited a lovely book, 101 Damnations The Humorists Tour of Personal Hells while some critics (all right, one rather outspoken friend) considered this a book of complaints, Rosen has argued that humor, like voting and picketing and returning an appliance that worked all of four months before requiring a repair that costs twice the purchase price, humor is about the desire for change. Its responding to the way things are compared to the way youd like things to be. And its a much more convivial response than pouting or cornering unsuspecting guests at dinner parties.
