Download or read book Remnant Stew written by Tristan MacAvery and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-02-04 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first collection of Tristan MacAvery's short works spans over two decades of humor, experience, passion, and wonder. Here are tales of a lady who still speaks to unicorns; of a writer who finds a muse that's a bit more than he bargained for; of a pair of space pilots, drinking one last toast to each other before their respective planets go to war; of a town whose people live only to build and rebuild the wall which surrounds their ever-shrinking land; of an office temp who discovers that his boss just might be the very devil to work for; and of aliens who try to mate with Volkswagens. There is food for thought here also, ranging from the comedy of breaking a toilet while being attacked by a religious icon, to the drama of trying to rescue a drug-crazed young man from his suicidal cravings. Essays discuss everything from the relative worth of Henry David Thoreau's Walden to the modern world, to an entire political platform that has something to offend just about anyone who has lost hold of his common sense. Remnant Stew: A tasty dish to set before anyone with an appetite for excellent writing.

Book excerpt: From the Ireland of St. Brendan to the baking deserts of Death Valley-- from the ancient rites of the Druata to the televangelists of modern times-- from the source of the greatest of human evils comes the tale of a demon with the most terrifying powers ever known-- A street bum finds all the water in his body turned to wine-- on a hospital AIDS ward, a young man checked at 7:00pm is found dead an hour later, his body appearing as if it had lain in the sun for three days -- a homeless woman accepts a gift of bread and fish from a stranger, only to find it multiply within her, exploding her from within-- Reverend Carrillee Maitland can find no sense or link between these bizarre deaths, and in an election year, there simply is no street crime in the city. It takes the assistance of Nick Praetorius, a man with a mysterious medallion and a centuries-old manuscript, to help Carrillee discover that not everyones idea of divine intervention is the same. For some, it means salvation; to others, it could mean a terrifying death by the most ancient words of the western world.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Ezekiel written by Corrine Carvalho and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current state of scholarship on the book of Ezekiel, one of the three Major Prophets, is robust. Ezekiel, unlike most pre-exilic prophetic collections, contains overt clues that its primary circulation was as a literary text and not a collection of oral speeches. The author was highly educated, the theology of the book is "dim," and its view of humanity is overwhelmingly negative. In The Oxford Handbook of Ezekiel, editor Corrine Carvalho brings together scholars from a diverse range of interpretive perspectives to explore one of the Bible's most debated books. Consisting of twenty-seven essays, the Handbook provides introductions to the major trends in the scholarship of Ezekiel, covering its history, current state, and emerging directions. After an introductory overview of these trends, each essay discusses an important element in the scholarly engagement with the book. Several essays discuss the history of the text (its historical context, redactional layers, text criticism, and use of other Israelite and near eastern traditions). Others focus on key themes in the book (such as temple, priesthood, law, and politics), while still others look at the book's reception history and contextual interpretations (including art, Christian use, gender approaches, postcolonial approaches, and trauma theory). Taken together, these essays demonstrate the vibrancy of Ezekiel research in the twenty-first century.
