Immaculate Deception and Further Ribaldries
Author: Jody Enders
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812298594
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Did you hear the one about the Mother Superior who was so busy casting the first stone that she got caught in flagrante delicto with her lover? What about the drunk with a Savior complex who was fool enough to believe himself to be the Second Coming? And that's nothing compared to what happens when comedy gets its grubby paws on the confessional. Enter fifteenth- and sixteenth-century French farce, the "bestseller" of a world that stands to tell us a lot about the enduring influence of a Shakespeare or a Molière. It's the sacrilegious world of Immaculate Deception, the third volume in a series of stage-friendly translations from the Middle French. Brought to you through the wonders of Open Access, these twelve engagingly funny satires target religious hypocrisy in that in-your-face way that only true slapstick can muster. There is literally nothing sacred. Why this repertoire and why now? The current political climate has had dire consequences for the pleasures of satire at a cultural moment when we have never needed it more. It turns out that the proverbial Dark Ages had a lighter side; and France's over 200 rollicking, frolicking, singing, and dancing comedies—more extant than in any other vernacular—have waited long enough for their moment in the spotlight. They are seriously funny: funny enough to reclaim their place in cultural history, and serious enough to participate in the larger conversation about what it means to be a social influencer, then and now. Rather than relegate medieval texts to the dustbin of history, an unabashedly feminist translation can reframe and reject the sexism of bygone days by doing what theater always invites us to do: interpret, inflect, and adapt.

The Rhythm of the Christian Life
Author: Brian J. Wright
Publisher: ACU Press
ISBN: 1684269687
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
Discover Life as God Intended Hurried and exhausted, we are looking for a better way to manage all the demands in our lives. We think that if we could simply learn to balance everything, we would be happier. But our problem isn’t balance. What we actually need is to rediscover the rhythm. God has created a pulse for our lives, and for centuries Christians lived into that intentional rhythm, one that has been all but lost today. In this book, Wright invites us to find true joy and wholeness as we embrace the two core realities that every person experiences in life: •moments alone: times of solitude when we are with God alone •moments together: times of intentional fellowship with others In our efforts to maximize our time, we often set unrealistic expectations for our “quiet time” and our social relationships. The result is a failure to hear the ancient rhythm that shows how these dimensions of our lives should complement each other. Embracing the rhythm of the Christian life, and living it wholeheartedly, is the task of all believers, not just some of us. As Christians, our whole life consists of loving God and loving others— just like Jesus did. Explore The Rhythm of Christian Life and recapture the joy of life as God always intended.

To See My World in Rhythm and Rhyme
Author: Thomas Wayne Allen
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1496935039
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
To See My World in Rhythm and Rhyme is a compilation of short poems representing life experiences, opinions, common sense advice, and creative fiction from the pen of working man, Tom Allen. Many of the featured works are laced with humor, but the reader will also catch a real slap of reality from time to time. This collection is a very rare slice of Americana, coming from the heart of a man who has known honest, hard work, and the joys and tragedies of life. Also reflected in this volume are his intimate closeness to nature, and the unconditional love and dedication he holds for his family and friends. Tom has at long last been convinced (by his dedicated family and friends) to share some of his poetic creations, which has resulted in the publishing of this book. To read this unequaled collection of Tom Allen poetry is a life experience in itself.

He...Who...! the Christ Verses
Author: Benjamin C. Wright
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462826202
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
He...Who...! The Christ Verses, is a collection of ninety-six dramatic poetic verses, in ten chapters, on the role of the universal Christ spirit, as exemplified in His life, death, and resurrection. Various events, stories, and messages about Jesus Christ are told via simple, beautiful poetry, rich in rhyme, rhythm, and imagery. Some of the early verses take us deep into the wonders of creation, evolution, and the meaning and purpose of life and death. They take you on a chronological voyage into the Christ experience, his teachings, miracles, morals and values. They cover events on the triumphs of early Christianity, and culminate in life salvation and life eternal. The verses are introduced and framed in a story of a wise old man is who is dying and sought out by the entire village to share with them a parting message of wisdom and faith. This old sage thus delivers by way of poetic verses, his message of hope and salvation via the Christ experience. HeWho! Uniquely chooses to use poetry as its means of communication based on the premise that people, young and old, can more easily read and remember simple poetry. Point in case Jesus loves me. This I know. And, Now I lay me down to sleep.. The verses will excite and stimulate thought and discussion and appeal to both young and old. They present a fresh, unique vehicle as a lead-in to educational and scriptural lessons, with easy cross-reference to biblical text. The book once read, becomes one of on-going and continued value for occasional browsing, noting and memorizing your favorite verses. They lend well to personal, private readings or to public citations, when read aloud to family or friends. Spend the time to wander through the pages, discovering and re-discovering the spiritual lessons and landmarks laid down for us by Christ. You thus have your invitation to take this exciting journey and witness the most extraordinary life ever lived, and the greatest story, ever told. It is my hope that this work helps many to more rationally investigate to fully understand just who He is, and especially in regards to mans creation and ultimate destiny. To Him goes the credit for His guidance in the writing and publication of this, His story and the messages of peace, faith and salvation, so much needed in these perilous times. May God Bless.
