Download or read book The Rustle of Paul written by Scott S. Elliott and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scott S. Elliott reconsiders the autobiographical statements Paul makes throughout his letters (particularly Philippians 3:4b-6; Romans 7:14-25; 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 and 2 Corinthians 12:1-10) in light of the theoretical work of Roland Barthes. Elliott draws particularly on Barthes' later poststructuralist writings, many of which touch either directly or indirectly on self-narration (e.g., Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary, Camera Lucida, and A Lover's Discourse: Fragments). These provide fruitful dialogue partners with which Elliott can interrogate and examine Paul's own writings and consider the ways in which Paul saw himself and how the application of this theory can yield a greater understanding of Paul's letters.

Book Abject Joy

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ryan S. Schellenberg
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2021-07-19
  • ISBN : 0190065532
  • Pages : 249 pages

Download or read book Abject Joy written by Ryan S. Schellenberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No extant text gives so vivid a glimpse into the experience of an ancient prisoner as Paul's letter to the Philippians. As a letter from prison, however, it is not what one would expect. For although it is true that Paul, like some other ancient prisoners, speaks in Philippians of his yearning for death, what he expresses most conspicuously is contentment and even joy. Setting aside pious banalities that contrast true joy with happiness, and leaving behind too heroic depictions that take their cue from Acts, Abject Joy offers a reading of Paul's letter as both a means and an artifact of his provisional attempt to make do. By outlining the uses of punitive custody in the administration of Rome's eastern provinces and describing the prison's complex place in the social and moral imagination of the Greek and Roman world, Ryan Schellenberg provides a richly drawn account of Paul's nonelite social context, where bodies and their affects were shaped by acute contingency and habitual susceptibility to violent subjugation. Informed by recent work in the history of emotions, and with comparison to modern prison writing and ethnography provoking new questions and insights, Schellenberg describes Paul's letter as an affective technology, wielded at once on Paul himself and on his addressees, that works to strengthen his grasp on the very joy he names. Abject Joy: Paul, Prison, and the Art of Making Do by Ryan S. Schellenberg is a social history of prison in the Greek and Roman world that takes Paul's letter to the Philippians as its focal instance--or, to put it the other way around, a study of Paul's letter to the Philippians that takes the reality of prison as its starting point. Examining ancient perceptions of confinement, and placing this ancient evidence in dialogue with modern prison writing and ethnography, it describes Paul's urgent and unexpectedly joyful letter as a witness to the perplexing art of survival under constraint.

Book Paul

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jerome Murphy-O'Connor
  • Publisher : OUP Oxford
  • Release : 2004-03-18
  • ISBN : 0191574058
  • Pages : 276 pages

Download or read book Paul written by Jerome Murphy-O'Connor and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-03-18 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For someone who has exercised such a profound influence on Christian theology, Paul remains a shadowy figure behind the barrier of his complicated and difficult biblical letters. Debates about his meaning have deflected attention from his personality, yet his personality is an important key to understanding his theological ideas. This book redresses the balance. Jerome Murphy-O'Connor's disciplined imagination, nourished by a lifetime of research, shapes numerous textual, historical, and archaeological details into a colourful and enjoyable story of which Paul is the flawed but undefeated hero. This chronological narrative offers new insights into Paul's intellectual, emotional, and religious development and puts his travels, mission, and theological ideas into a plausible biographical context. As he changes from an assimilated Jewish teenager in Tarsus to a competitive Pharisee in Jerusalem and then to a driven missionary of Christ, the sometimes contradictory components of Paul's complex personality emerge from the way he interacts with people and problems. His theology was forged in dialogue and becomes more intelligible as our appreciation of his person deepens. In Jerome Murphy-O'Connor's engaging biography, the Apostle comes to life as a complex, intensely human individual.

Book Antarctica

    Book Details:
  • Author : Peter J. Motta
  • Publisher : Dorrance Publishing
  • Release : 2023-10-13
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 228 pages

Download or read book Antarctica written by Peter J. Motta and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Antarctica is a tale of adventure. The kind of adventure that comes after Paul Wellington and Billy Greene make the tough decision to leave their boring lives behind. A decision that took them down through the Americas, and placing them on the icy continent that surrounds the South Pole. Luck and the right connections got them there, but now it was their job to navigate the uncharted territory that lay ahead. The cold of the open plains, the warmth of the tunnel systems, and the mystery of the hidden caves only scratched the surface of the lore that was the ice wall. And now it stood menacingly in their way. About the Author Peter J. Motta was born just outside of Flemington, New Jersey. He currently resides not far from where his life started, in the town of Somerville. Besides writing, photography and weightlifting round out the remainder of his free time. His active lifestyle leads to his active imagination. An imagination that started at a young age, alongside his brother Mark, playing in the woods around his parents’ house. The perfect backdrop to allow the mind to wander with questions. Is Bigfoot real? Was the Roswell crash really a downed UFO? Are ghosts just unhappy spirits that are now navigating the afterlife? These questions are the catalyst to his creative mind.
