Download or read book Oberammergau written by James Shapiro and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bavarian village of Oberammergau has staged the trial, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ nearly every decade since 1634. Each production of the Passion Play attracts hundreds of thousands, many drawn by the spiritual benefits it promises. Yet Hitler called it a convincing portrayal of the menace of Jewry, and in 1970 a group of international luminaries boycotted the play for its anti-Semitism. As the production for the year 2000 drew near, James Shapiro was there to document the newest wave of obstacles that faced the determined Bavarian villagers. Erudite and judicious, Oberammergau is a fascinating and important look at the unpredictable and sometimes tragic relationship between art and society, belief and tolerance, religion and politics.

Download or read book When in Doubt Blame a Jew written by ARNOLD P. ABBOTT and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-03-08 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An associate editor at Jeremy Tarcher, a division of Penguin Putnam, Inc., wrote this: When In Doubt--Blame A Jew! Is a tremendous piece of work intelligent, engaging, and personal. What makes this book unique is that it comprises a mlange of historic fact interspersed with endemic Jewish humor. It is the authors hope that it will provide factual information to counteract myriad myths, distortions, and false perceptions about who the Jews are, and their place in the world. Starting with Mary, and why she had to be a virgin (based on the ancient Jewish custom of banishing women to the hills during their menstrual cycle); through the Blood Libel and other unfounded accusations: to Henry Fords fatherhood of the Tin Lizzie and worldwide hate; to famous Jews, followed by famous Jew-haters. There are also light moments such as: The Joke Is On Us, Jewish Alphabet Soup, and Prophecy. The book applauds the Righteous Gentiles of World War II; acknowledges the revisionists; and steps into the Palestinian0Israeli crisis, offering a solution. With only 14 million extant today, the book ends with a question A World Without Jews, What Would It Be Like?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering commentary embraces the full scope and themesraised in John's Gospel, offering an engaging and perceptivereading. Mark Edwards explores a diverse range of excerpts andcreative responses, with particular emphasis on the treatment ofthe Gospel in English poetry. Explores the diverse themes and issues raised in John’sGospel, and considers its influence on figures from SaintAugustine, to Dorothy Sayers and Bob Dylan. Treats well-known interpreters such as Thomas Aquinas alongwith lesser-known figures such as the Gnostic Heracleon, and thesixth-century hymn-writer, Romanos. Brings ancient and modern commentators into dialogue with eachother, and takes a critical stance towards some parallels drawn bymodern scholars between the Gospel and the surrounding paganculture. Features excerpts from a wide variety of poets who give acreative interpretation of John’s Gospel, and considers manyartistic representations. Suggests that imaginative response can illuminate a reading ofthe Bible where purely critical and historical analysis has provedunsatisfactory.

Download or read book Caiaphas the High Priest written by Adele Reinhartz and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Roman-appointed high priest who had a hand in orchestrating Jesus's Crucifixion, Caiaphas secured his place in infamy alongside Pontius Pilate. Viewing Caiaphas as more than just a one-dimensional villain, Adele Reinhartz offers a thorough reconsideration of representations of Caiaphas in the Gospels and other ancient texts as well as in subsequent visual arts, literature, film, and drama. The portrait that emerges challenges long-held beliefs about this New Testament figure by examining the background of the high priesthood and exploring the relationships among the high priest, the Roman leadership, and the Jewish population. Reinhartz does not seek to exonerate Caiaphas from culpability in the Crucifixion, but she does expand our understanding of Caiaphas's complex religious and political roles in biblical literature and his culturally loaded depictions in ongoing Jewish-Christian dialogue.
