From the international bestselling author of Red Herrings and White Elephants—a curious guide to the hidden histories of classic nursery rhymes. Who was Mary Quite Contrary, or Georgie Porgie?

Oral Performance, Popular Tradition, and Hidden Transcript in Q
Author: Richard A. Horsley
Publisher: Society of Biblical Lit
ISBN: 1589832485
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This collection of essays pursues two new approaches to Q, the speeches of Jesus paralleled in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. The essays in Part One suggest that recent work in ethnopoetics, the ethnography of performance, and theory of verbal art (especially that of John Miles Foley) both complements and challenges standard approaches to the teaching of Jesus. They explore how Q speeches might be appreciated as oral performance that resonates with listeners in a community context by referencing Israelite popular tradition. The essays in Part Two examine how the work of anthropologist and political scientist James C. Scott on popular tradition, "the moral economy of the peasant," and "hidden transcripts" may illuminate the social context and political implications of Q speeches. --From publisher's description.

The Wisdom of Jesus
Author: Charles W Hedrick
Publisher: James Clarke & Company
ISBN: 0227906292
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
How would our understanding of Jesus change if we abandoned our preconceptions and focussed on his words alone? How would this wisdom compare with that of ancient Israel and the early first-century church? Such questions pose serious difficulties. Everything in the early Christian gospels is either derived from historical memory, or is borrowed, or invented, argues Charles W. Hedrick. Of the many sayings attributed to Christ, historians can only agree on a few as having been spoken by him - andthose few are far from certain. In The Wisdom of Jesus, Hedrick overcomes these challenges, presenting a picture of Jesus as expressed through his own words. The Jesus that emerges is a lower-class man of the first century; a complex figure who cannot be considered religious in a traditional sense. Liberated from theological explanation and interpretation, his discourse is revealed as belonging to the secular world, and his concerns to be those of common life.

Little Drops of Rain, Little Grains of Sand “Sayings & Teachings of the Masters”
Author: MIKE PREMA
Publisher: Cendekia Publisher
ISBN: 6235725914
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Little Drops of Rain, Little Grains of Sand is a literary work that would interest spiritual seekers of all traditions, both East and West. Written in a form reminiscent of the Gospel of Thomas, Zen koans, Hermetic writings, and many other codices of the ancients, this book presents insights, wisdom, teachings, and sayings as though conveyed by Sages and Masters of Wisdom. The verses are mostly written and presented in a metaphorical manner, thus pondering upon the verses could aid the reader in developing intuition and the higher mental faculties--they would certainly help one to develop a higher awareness and consciousness--this volume is quite timely for growing through the global challenges that we are all facing at this time. The Masters mentioned in this book are fictitious, but the sayings and teachings are as real as the wisdom of Solomon and the many spiritual teachers of the Orient. This book is an indispensable source of reference and is a fine work for any thinker's library.
