Download or read book The Unfinished Man written by Jim Wayne and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a personal, psychological level, "unfinished business" often refers to disturbing events or feelings that have not been fully examined. On a corporate or organizational level, "unfinished business" can refer to obligations and expectations left unfulfilled. In Jim Wayne's novel The Unfinished Man, the scholarly and unsociable Father Justin Zapp needs to examine the psychic wounds incurred in his youth when a priest sexually exploited him. Though Father Zapp has positioned himself within the church in a situation that allows him brilliantly to pursue scholarly work, his capacity for human interaction is severely limited. When news comes to Father Zapp of current sexual abuse within his diocese, he is challenged to become a strong shepherd protecting his innocent flock from predation. Can his faith survive the finding that the Catholic Church itself, the largest organization in the world, has commonly covered up sexual abuse by priests instead of working to eliminate it? Can one man make a difference? Can one priest find the courage to return to ground zero in his own psyche, acknowledge the wreckage, and slowly rebuild a new self with enough courage and stamina to combat sexual abuse by priests? Set in the 1950s and '60s, the landscape of The Unfinished Man ranges from rural Indiana to the Vatican. Other reform issues within the Church, such as the Church's position vis-a-vis Jews, also come to the fore. Can a larger, more just, and humane spirituality emerge through new leadership? While Jim Wayne's novel unflinchingly presents the existence of evil, it succeeds equally in creating the presence of strength and goodness. This gripping novel also raises questions for any reader about his or her own private or public unfinished self.

Book God Being Nothing

  • Author : Ray L. Hart
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2016-05-09
  • ISBN : 022635962X
  • Pages : 295 pages

Download or read book God Being Nothing written by Ray L. Hart and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this long-awaited work, Ray L. Hart offers a speculative theology that profoundly challenges traditional understandings of God. Drawing on a lifetime of reading in philosophy and religious thought, Hart unfolds a vision of God perpetually in process: an unfinished God. Breaking out of the classical doctrine of divine persons, Hart reimagines Trinity as composed of theogony, cosmogony, and anthropogony an emerging Godhead in relation to origins, temporal creation, and human existence. The book s ultimate import is that all of Being and Nonbeing emerges together in interrelation and interdependence. This divine reality, Hart explains, is unfinished, imperfect, still in the course of a living-dying process that implicates all things, existent and inexistent, temporal and eternal. Doctrinal closuresomething that every orthodox theology requiresthus becomes impossible, and rightly so. Hart confronts those orthodoxies by asking: How can thinking of God reach closure when the divine is itself unfinished and its appearance to us always amounts to new creation? Hart s insights open the potencies of the nothing to the actualization of freedomthe freedom to create. That is, the nothing is not for nothingit is procreative. In the domain of radical speculative theology, then, Hart offers a fully deconstructive revisioning of the Christian God as ever an emerging and self-transfiguring actuality. It is a work with which all serious students of theology will wish to contend."

Book If Ignorance Is Bliss  Why Aren t There More Happy People

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Lloyd and John Mitchinson have proven themselves to be masters at digging up obscure facts, abstruse information, and amusing anecdotes and presenting them effortlessly, somewhat slyly, with either great wit or at least a little bit of tongue in cheek. Their gifts are on full display in Quote Interesting, a lively, wonderfully enjoyable anthology of hundreds of quotes you probably have never heard before, arranged thematically from A to Z. From laugh-out-loud-funny bon mots to some real headscratchers, Lloyd and Mitchinson have gathered a universe of star-studded blurbs like: “The Beatles are dying in the wrong order.” —Victor Lewis Smith “When you forget to eat, you know you’re alive.” —Henry James “I think people would be alive today if there were a death penalty.” —Nancy Reagan “You know ‘that look’ women get when they want sex? Me neither.” —Steve Martin

  • ISBN : 9780811215220

Download or read book Sweet Youth written by Allen R. Grossman and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive lifetime selection of poetryfrom the Sweet Youth to the Old Man. Of the early work of Allen Grossman, the late Robert Fitzgerald once wrote: "At times they seem poems of great age, poems at the world's verge, at the verge of time." Of the later work, Jorie Graham observed: "In [his] marriage of meanspart almanac, part allegory, part advice column, obituary page, hymnal, epic dramafrom the bottom reaches of the underworld, to the elevations from which one need cry out to be heardGrossman invents such peace as Poetry can invent." In Sweet Youth, the younger poet and the older one meet at an eternal moment and a dialogue in poetry ensues, as the Allen Grossman of 2001 and the Allen Grossman of nearly fifty years earlier respond to one another's words.The poems of the "Sweet Youth", some of them dating to the early '50s, were originally collected in the poet's first three books: A Harlot's Hire (1961), The Recluse (1965), And the Dew Lay All Night Upon My Branch (1973). Since then, there have been six more books of poetry and four of prose, though in "Sweet Youth," all the poems of "Old Man" are new, written in his seventieth year. Grossman is now the Andrew Mellon Professor of the Humanities at The Johns Hopkins University.

Book Staging the Savage God

Download or read book Staging the Savage God written by Ralf Remshardt and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this broadly conceived study, Ralf Remshardt delineates the theatre’s deep connection with the grotesque and traces the historically extensive and theoretically intensive relationship between performance and its “other,” the grotesque. Staging the Savage God: The Grotesque in Performance examines the aesthetic complicity shared by the two in both art and theatre and presents a general theory of the grotesque. Performing the grotesque is both a challenge to a culture’s order and the affirmation of certain ethical principles that it recognizes as its own. Remshardt investigates the aesthetics and ideology of grotesque theatre from antiquity—in works such as The Bacchae and Thyestes—to modernity—in Ubu Roi and Hamletmachine—and opens up new critical possibilities for the analysis of both classical and avant-gardetheatre. Divided into three sections, Staging the Savage God first interrogates the grotesque as primarily a visual artistic and theatrical mode and then inventories various critical approaches to the grotesque, establishing the outlines of a theory with regard to drama. In the most extensive part of the study, Remshardt shifts his emphasis to the theatre of the grotesque, from self-consuming tragedies and the modernist trope of the artificial human figure to the characterology of the grotesque. Remshardt’s conclusion takes bold steps toward unraveling the paradox inherent in the grotesque theatre. Written in an engaging style and aided by nine illustrations, Staging the Savage God is a comprehensive and rigorous study that incorporates critical approaches from disciplines such as philosophy, psychoanalysis, art history, literature, and theatre to fully investigate the historical function of the grotesque in performance.
