The Turning Point in the Gospel of Mark
Author: Gregg S Morrison
Publisher: James Clarke & Company
ISBN: 0227904117
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Based on linguistic and thematic links in the narrative, 'The Turning Point in the Gospel of Mark' argues that the twin pericopae of Peter's confession (8:27-38) and the Transfiguration (9:2-13) together function as the turning point of the Gospel and serve in a Janus- like manner enabling the reader to see the author's main focus: the identity of Jesus and the significance of that reality for his disciples. Peter's confession of Jesus as Messiah faces backward toward the Prologue (1:1-13) and functions as a mid-course conclusion. The declaration by God on the mountain faces forward and foreshadows the end-course conclusion (14:61-62; 15:39; Son of God). Jesus, in response, teaches that the Son of Man must suffer and die before being raised from the dead(8:31). Christologically, the images of Messiah, Son of Man, and Son of God converge and present Jesus, the crucified, as king, ushering in the kingdom of God in power (9:1 acting as the key swivel between the twin pericopae). When one is confronted withthis Jesus, though there remains something elusive about him and the kingdom of God in the narrative, the only wise decision (after calculating the costs, 8:34-38) is to follow.

The Janus File

ISBN: 1625798784
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
The fates of universes aren’t the only things time travel can impact. Sometimes the effect is a lot more mundane and closer to home. And when that happens, it’s up to the cops of Themis Division to make time turn out right. It was supposed to be a routine trip for the members of the Gordian Division, both human and AI: fly out to Saturn, inspect the construction of their latest time machines, then fly back. But when the division’s top scientist and chief engineer are killed in the same freak accident, suspicions of foul play run deep. Detective Isaac Cho is sent in to investigate, but he has more on his mind than just a new case. His superiors have saddled him with an exchange officer from the neighboring Admin—Special Agent Susan Cantrell—whose notion of proper “law enforcement” involves blowing up criminals first and skipping questions entirely. Despite his objections, Cho is stuck with an untested partner on a case that increasingly reeks of murder and conspiracy. The unlikely pair must work together to unravel this mystery, and soon they discover their unique combination of skills might just provide the edge they need. But nothing is ever simple where the Gordian Division is involved. Not even time itself. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About prequel The Gordian Protocol: “Tom Clancy-esque exposition of technical details . . . absurd humor and bloody action. Echoes of Robert Heinlein . . . lots of exploding temporal spaceships and bodies . . . action-packed . . .” —Booklist “[A] fun and thrilling standalone from Weber and Holo. . . . Time travel enthusiasts will enjoy the moral dilemmas, nonstop action, and crisp writing.”—Publishers Weekly

A Desert Kill by Collin Baker-Williams
Author: R.M. Houchin
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1634179773
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Collin Baker-Williams is a struggling writer who is down-on-his-luck. He has a passion for fiction and a flair for the written word. He also has a bad habit. He makes up stories that come true. Out of work and desperate for money, Collin agrees to free-lance for a two-bit magazine. His assignment: A twenty-two year old murder where five men were gunned down in an old, abandoned diner in Owens Valley, California. After hearing the gruesome details of the crime from gruff, old Sheriff Terry, and believing the case was unsolved, Collin decides the story is worth writing, but something is missing. The story needs a killer. So he simply makes one up, creating an elaborate tale of fate, brutality, and the ultimate revenge. "A Desert Kill" gets published and becomes popular, especially in Owens Valley where his mythical killer becomes a legend. But an ex-cop named Janus is out to expose the story as a fraud, and after some twists and turns, the three men are thrown together on a three-day search of the rugged Sierra-Nevada Mountains. But they are not alone in the mountains, and a whiff of smoke from a distant campfire takes them on a chase for an elusive hiker who leads them into the treacherous High Country, and also leads them to believe Collin's killer really exists.

Desire and Infinity in W. S. Merwin's Poetry
Author: Feng Dong
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807176869
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
In the first monograph on W. S. Merwin to appear since his death in 2019, Feng Dong focuses on the dialectical movement of desire and infinity that ensouls the poet’s entire oeuvre. His analysis foregrounds what Merwin calls “the other side of despair,” the opposite of humans’ articulated personal and social agonies. Feng finds these presences in Merwin’s evocations of what lingers on the edge of constantly updated socio-symbolic frameworks: surreal encounters, spiritual ecstasies, and abyssal freedoms. By examining Merwin’s lifelong engagement with psychic fantasies, anonymous holiness, entities both natural and supernatural, and ghostly ancestors, Feng uncovers a precarious relation with the unarticulated, unrealized side of existence. Drawing on theories from Lacan, Žižek, Levinas, and Heidegger, Desire and Infinity in W. S. Merwin’s Poetry reads a metaphysical possibility into the poet’s work at the intersection between contemporary poetics, philosophy, and psychoanalysis.
