Book Description
The Merciful Rebuke Satan: The Short Stories And Searing Vision of Howard Riell, is a collection of 59 eclectic, off-beat, startlingly original short stories. They vary to an amazing degree - from variations on Biblical and even Shakespearean texts to parody, pathos, drama, and outright slapstick comedy. Some will make readers laugh out loud, others cry, still others freeze in terror. Among the tales Riell spins: A demon rises from the murky depths of hell and vows to please his master by killing a saintly rabbi A pair of renowned Hasidic rebbes try a bit too hard to impress the prophet Elijah when they encounter him on the side of a lonely country road An old woman's lifetime of anguish ends with a single, horrifying scream A man comes face to face with the crushing realization that he must finally acknowledge the daughter he's never met A man attains wisdom -- and the power of prophecy -- in the final moments of his life amid a rush-hour crowd on the New York City subway The still-hidden Messiah pens some of his most intimate thoughts World famous "psychic detective" Harvey Noodleman fights the farces of evil in a quintet of wacky stories

Book Description
"The world today is such a wicked place," Black Sabbath declared in 1969, when they recorded their debut album, set against a backdrop of war, assassinations, social unrest, and disillusionment. Cries for justice from the Civil Rights Movement, and for peace and love from the culture of "flower power," had been met with violent backlash from the ruling class. It was on this stage that Black Sabbath entered--the heaviest rock band the world had yet known. This band was shaped by a working class upbringing in Birmingham, England, where actual metal defined the small town existence of factories, bombed-out buildings, and little else. With their music, Sabbath captured the dread and the burgeoning pessimism that was haunting the minds of young people in the sixties and seventies. Today, we are in a similar age of crisis: climate disaster, extreme inequality, police brutality, mass incarceration, and now, pandemic. Black Sabbath speaks to our time in ways few other bands can. They deploy apocalyptic imagery to capture the destruction of the planet by despotic superpowers, and they pronounce a prophetic indictment on agents of injustice. In this book, theologian and cultural critic Jack Holloway explores Black Sabbath's music and lyrics, and what they had to say to their historical context. From this analysis, Holloway outlines a Black Sabbath theology which carries significant import for modern life, reminding us of our deep responsibility to transform a broken world.
