Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using insights about ancient and modern tragedy, this study offers challenging and provocative new readings of selected Biblical narratives: the story of Israel's first king, Saul, rejected for his disobedience to God and driven to madness; the story of Jephthah's sacrifice of his daughter in fulfillment of his vow to offer God a sacrifice in return for military victory; and the story of Israel's most famous king, David, whose tragedy lies in the burden of divine judgement that falls on his house as a consequence of his sins. The book discusses how these narratives handle such perennial tragic issues as guilt, suffering and evil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTORY WORD. A volume of genuine sermons from the study and pulpit of a cultured, consecrated, and successful representative of the younger ministry may be hailed with pleasure by both publisher and reader. Such a volume is clearly in the little book herewith offered. In these "Bible Tragedies" the author has brought to his task a keen power of analysis and a wealth of illustrative material drawn from fresh and vital sources. These discourses abound in vivid and pointed lessons for practical living. They contain no hackneyed work. A significant fact is that they were not primarily prepared for publication. They were preached in the ordinary course of the author's ministry to his Sunday evening audiences. The question, however, of the Sunday evening congregation was no problem under these sermons. The capacious house was always thronged, and several times well-nigh to the point of physical discomfort. It has been judged, and we think wisely, that it would be well to give these discourses, so highly appreciated by the local congregation, to the wider public -- hence this little volume. If these published utterances may speedily secure the larger hearing and produce the greater good which their message merits, then their publication must prove a contribution to the growing and imperishable structure of Christian thought.

Download or read book Tragedies and Christian Congregations written by Christopher Southgate and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When tragedy strikes a community, it is often unexpected with long-lasting effects on the people left in its wake. Too often, there aren’t adequate systems in place to aid those affected in processing what has happened. This study uniquely combines practical theology, pastoral insight and scientific data to demonstrate how Christian congregations can be helped to be resilient in the face of sudden devastating events. Beginning by identifying the characteristics of trauma in individuals and communities, this collection of essays from practitioners and academics locates sudden trauma-inducing tragedies as a problem in practical theology. A range of biblical and theological responses are presented, but contemporary scientific understanding is also included in order to challenge and stretch some of these traditional theological resources. The pastoral section of the book examines the ethics of response to tragedy, locating the role of the minister in relation to other helping agencies and exploring the all-too-topical issue of ministerial abuse. Developing a nuanced rationale for good practical, pastoral, liturgical and theological responses to major traumas, this book will be of significant value to scholars of practical theology as well as practitioners counselling in and around church congregations.

Download or read book Christ the Tragedy of God written by Kevin Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tragedy is a genre for exploring loss and suffering, and this book traces the vital areas where tragedy has shaped and been a resource for Christian theology. There is a history to the relationship of theology and tragedy; tragic literature has explored areas of theological interest, and is present in the Bible and ongoing theological concerns. Christian theology has a long history of using what is at hand, and the genre of tragedy is no different. What are the merits and challenges of placing the central narrative of the passion, death and resurrection of Christ in tragic terms? This study examines important and shared concerns of theology and tragedy: sacrifice and war, rationality and order, historical contingency, blindness, guilt, and self-awareness. Theologians such as Reinhold Niebuhr, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Martin Luther King Jr., Simone Weil, and Boethius have explored tragedy as a theological resource. The historical relationship of theology and tragedy reveals that neither is monolithic, and both remain diverse and unstable areas of human thought. This fascinating book will be of keen interest to theologians, as well as scholars in the fields of literary studies and tragic theory.

Download or read book The Tragedy in History written by Flemming A. J. Nielsen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this challenging new work, Nielsen compares Herodotus with Old Testament historiography as represented by the so-called Deuteronomistic History. He finds in the Old Testament evidence of a tragic form like that encountered in Herodotus's Histories. Nielsen begins by outlining Herodotus's Greek context with its roots in Ionic natural philosophy, the epic tradition and Attic tragedy, and goes on to analyse in some detail the outworking of the Herodotean tragedy. Against that background, the Deuteronomistic History is to be viewed as an ancient Near Eastern historiographic text in the tragic tradition.

Download or read book Christian Theology and Tragedy written by Kevin Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing together leading scholars from both theological and literary backgrounds, Christian Theology and Tragedy explores the rich variety of conversations between theology and tragedy. Three main areas are examined: theological readings of a range of tragic literature, from plays to novels and the Bible itself; how theologians have explored tragedy theologically; and how theology can interact with various tragic theories. Encompassing a range of perspectives and topics, this book demonstrates how theologians can make productive use of the work of tragedians, tragic theorists and tragic philosophers. Common misconceptions - that tragedy is monolithic, easily definable, or gives straightforward answers to theodicy - are also addressed. Interdisciplinary in nature, this book will appeal to both the theological and literary fields.

Download or read book This Tragic Gospel written by Louis A. Ruprecht, Jr. and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-07-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Tragic Gospel suggests that the "Gospel" of John intended to supplant the first three gospels and succeeded in gaining undue influence on the early churches. This study focuses on the tragic moment when Jesus prays for deliverance from his impending death in the garden of Gethsemane. Ruprecht contends that John rewrote this scene in order to convey a very different dramatic meaning from the one reflected in Mark's gospel. In John's version, not only did Jesus not pray to be spared, he actually mocked this prayer, embracing his imminent demise with godlike confidence. Ruprecht believes that this dramatic reinterpretation undermined the tragedy of Jesus's death as Mark imagined it and so paved the way for the development of a kind of Christianity that focused far less on compassion in the face of human suffering. John's Jesus offers the faithful food so that they will never hunger, water so that they will never thirst, and the promise of a world in which no faithful person ever sheds a tear. Mark's Christians do suffer, but they witness to suffering and death differently...with compassion. Mark's Christ suffers, like all Christians after him, but he embodies a tragic hope in the promise of a faith shored up by love and compassion.
