Book Description
From the beginning the bright and articulate English teacher and the tall, strong, and equally bright minister sense they are different, but they assume they can still enjoy a friendship. And they do; Mary Kerrigan and Walter Macdonald play and probe and spar. Then the unanticipated happens: friendship deepens into love, and differences that were intriguing when they were just friends become ominous. She's irreverent; he's traditional. She's unfettered; he's committed. She's a disbeliever; he's a believer. She won't believe; he won't not believe. They are an even match. It's more than a lover's quarrel--Mary and Walter are worlds apart in ways that matter. They want desperately to find a bridge between their worlds. Their struggle pits passion against convictions. Longing for the impossible becomes finally unbearable; they have to choose.

Neither Believer Nor Infidel
Author: Jonathan A. Cook
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501770985
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Shedding new light on both classic and lesser-known works in the Melville canon with particular attention to the author's literary use of the Bible, Neither Believer Nor Infidel examines the debate between religious skepticism and Christian faith that infused Herman Melville's writings following Moby-Dick. Jonathan A. Cook's study is the first to focus on the decisive role of faith and doubt in Melville's writings following his mid-career turn to shorter fiction, and still later to poetry, as a result of the commercial failures of Moby-Dick and Pierre. Nathaniel Hawthorne claimed that Melville "can neither believe nor be comfortable in his unbelief," a remark that encapsulates an essential truth about Melville's attitude to Christianity. Like many of his Victorian contemporaries, Melville spent his literary career poised between an intellectual rejection of Christian dogma and an emotional attachment to the consolations of non-dogmatic Christian faith. Accompanying this ambivalence was a lifelong devotion to the text of the King James Bible as both moral sourcebook and literary template. Following a biographical overview of skeptical influences and manifestations in Melville's early life and career, Cook examines the evidence of religious doubt and belief in "Bartleby, the Scrivener," "Cock-a-Doodle-Doo!," "The Encantadas," Israel Potter, Battle-Pieces, Timoleon, and Billy Budd. Accessible for both the general reader and the scholar, Neither Believer Nor Infidel clarifies the ambiguities of Melville's pervasive use of religion in his fiction and poetry. In analyzing Melville's persistent oscillation between metaphysical rebellion and attenuated belief, Cook elucidates both well-known and under-appreciated works.

Book Description
Speak life! What we think determines what we say and this refl ects who we really are for we are exposed by the fruit of our mouths. We must be able to see Gods kingdom and this is a spiritual endeavor. The kingdom begins in the spirit and is then made manifest in the natural realm. We lost sight when Adam abdicated the throne to Satan. A fundamental disconnect occurred when we exited the Garden of Eden. Revelation provides the inner sight that Jesus came to restore for he opened blinded eyes.
