Download or read book The Laughter of Sanity written by Richard Amiss and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book points out how the world with all its increased knowledge and technology has separated us from our connection to God and nature. We were built to be connected to God inside and around us. How is it that the world around us with all its sophistication cannot answer the question as to why there is so much chaos and disorder in our world? Knowledge and technology have interrupted our relationship to our Lord, leading us to build and live in a world without God. The characters within this story come from different backgrounds and walks of life. They have all been through strenuously trying experiences and at the same time are being drawn together in one place for an answer to their yearnings. Curiosity along with grief and loss set them all on their own journey that will eventually lead to the same place. To ignore our nature and origin in God leads to insanity. Therefore, where there is God there is order.
Download or read book The Sanity of Satire written by Al Gini and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political humor and satire are, perhaps, as old as comedy itself, and they are crucial to our society and our collective sense of self. Satire is confrontational. It’s about pushback, dissent, discord, disappointment, and demonstrating the absurdity of the status quo. This book is an attempt to explore how these aspects of satire help secure our sanity. Aristotle famously said that humans are naturally political animals. We need political community to flourish and live good lives. But politics also entails unpopular decisions, oppression, and power struggles. Satire is a vehicle through which we reflect on and challenge the irrational, incomprehensible, and intolerable nature of our lives without becoming totally despondent or depressed. In a poignant, pithy, but not ponderous manner, Al Gini and Abraham Singer delve into the history of satire to rejoice in its triumphs and watch its development from ancient graffiti to the latest late-night TV talk show.

Download or read book Ironies of Faith written by Anthony Esolen and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ironies of Faith, celebrated Dante scholar and translator Anthony Esolen provides a profound meditation upon the use and place of irony in Christian art and in the Christian life. Beginning with an extended analysis of irony as an essentially dramatic device, Esolen explores those manifestations of irony that appear prominently in Christian thinking and art: ironies of time (for Christians believe in divine Providence, but live in a world whose moments pass away); ironies of power (for Christians believe in an almighty God who took on human flesh, and whose “weakness” is stronger than our greatest enemy, death); ironies of love (for man seldom knows whom to love, or how, or even whom it is that in the depths of his heart he loves best); and the figure of the Child (for Christians ever hear the warning voice of their Savior, who says that unless we become like unto one of these little ones, we shall not enter the Kingdom of God). Esolen’s finely wrought study draws from Augustine (Confessions), Dante (The Divine Comedy), Shakespeare (The Tempest), and Tolkien (“Leaf, By Niggle”); Francois Mauriac (A Kiss for the Leper), Milton (Paradise Lost), and Alessandro Manzoni (The Betrothed); the poems of George Herbert and Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Edmund Spenser (Amoretti); Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol), Dostoyevsky (The Brothers Karamazov), and the anonymous author of the medieval poem Pearl, among other works. Readers who treasure the Christian literary tradition should not miss this illuminating book.
