Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter expectation, until despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs.

Translating Holocaust Lives
Author: Jean Boase-Beier
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1474250297
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
For readers in the English-speaking world, almost all Holocaust writing is translated writing. Translation is indispensable for our understanding of the Holocaust because there is a need to tell others what happened in a way that makes events and experiences accessible – if not, perhaps, comprehensible – to other communities. Yet what this means is only beginning to be explored by Translation Studies scholars. This book aims to bring together the insights of Translation Studies and Holocaust Studies in order to show what a critical understanding of translation in practice and context can contribute to our knowledge of the legacy of the Holocaust. The role translation plays is not just as a facilitator of a semi-transparent transfer of information. Holocaust writing involves questions about language, truth and ethics, and a theoretically informed understanding of translation adds to these questions by drawing attention to processes of mediation and reception in cultural and historical context. It is important to examine how writing by Holocaust victims, which is closely tied to a specific language and reflects on the relationship between language, experience and thought, can (or cannot) be translated. This volume brings the disciplines of Holocaust and Translation Studies into an encounter with each other in order to explore the effects of translation on Holocaust writing. The individual pieces by Holocaust scholars explore general, theoretical questions and individual case studies, and are accompanied by commentaries by translation scholars.

Sarah's Song
Author: Richard Dinse
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
God promised Abraham a son and would later promise Sarah that she would conceive and bear a son to Abraham, and the son would be called Isaac. Sarah, because she was barren during what we would consider normal childbearing age, gave up on God's promise, did it her way and gave her maidservant Hagar to Abraham, thinking she was fulfilling God's promise. The son that was born would be called Ishmael. You see, Sarah gave up on God's promise. That was a big mistake! When Sarah was well beyond childbearing age, probably in her nineties, she conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age. God's promise was fulfilled. Abraham would become the father of many nations, and Sarah would become the mother of many nations. The birth of Isaac was the miracle that God had long promised Sarah. The creation of a new life is a gift from God, a miracle to be cherished. It is Sarah's song to the world!

Sarah’s Laughter
Author: Vinoth Ramachandra
Publisher: Langham Publishing
ISBN: 1783688580
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Sarah’s Laughter provides a reflection on suffering that is deeply personal and both theologically and philosophically astute. Vinoth Ramachandra draws on his distinctive positioning as a Sri Lankan Christian theologian – one who has lived and ministered in contexts shaped by the destruction of natural disasters and the violence of human evil – to confront the intellectual, moral, and political challenges posed to faith in the increasingly broken world of the twenty-first century. Yet far from being an abstract discussion of theodicy, this book is intimate and vulnerable, embracing the biblical practice of lament and inviting an authentic response to grief – one that makes space for serious doubt and profound questioning. Sharing his own ongoing journey with suffering and a questing faith, Ramachandra reminds us that lament and joy, faith and protest, clarity and ambiguity, belong together in faithful Christian discipleship. It is not in bypassing the darkness of the world, but in embracing it – in imitation of the incarnate God – that we may glimpse the new creation.
