Download or read book Impure Acts written by Ángelo Néstore and published by Indolent Books. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ángelo Néstore's poems in Impure Acts are both heartbreaking and an absolute joy to read. I especially love "When I Picked the Wrong Bar." --Hollie McNish Ángelo Néstore's poetry, his "impure acts," changes the whole cartography of desire with the beautiful perfection of a modern, dream-like demiurge who knows he is in absolute possession of his glory. Poem-temples, poem-traps, gaps in the disquiet for those who will have no better illumination than that which is offered by this dialogue between poet and reader. Communion, I would say, if communion were not sometimes dangerously conflated with religiosity. Poems which, in their exquisite and innovative craftsmanship, already demand a canonical place in our collective memory and anthologies. --Carlos Pintado Ángelo Néstore's Impure Acts is a pair of full lungs heaving just below the surface of the text. The poems explore and explode inherited notions of gender, desire, & reproduction. The lyric voice is alive and vibrating in these clipped narratives where nostalgia abuts the present & sings there. This is a book to be read aloud & then to read aloud again. Try it with your friends. --Sam Sax Ángelo Néstore (Lecce, Italy, 1986) is a poet, actor, and professor in the Department of Translation and Interpreting of the University of Málaga in Spain. The author of two poetry collections, he co-directs the Irreconciliables International Poetry Festival and the feminist poetry publisher La Señora Dalloway. He is also a translator from English and Italian into Spanish, and from Spanish into Italian. Lawrence Schimel (New York, 1971) is a bilingual author and translator living in Madrid. Writing in both Spanish and English, he has published over one hundred books as author or anthologist and has translated over thirty poetry collections.

Book Synopsis The Gospels and Acts by : Margaret Aymer
Download or read book The Gospels and Acts written by Margaret Aymer and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise commentary on the Gospels and Acts, excerpted from the Fortress Commentary on the Bible: The New Testament, engages readers in the work of biblical interpretation. Contributors from a rich diversity of perspectives connect historical-critical analysis with sensitivity to current theological, cultural, and interpretive issues. Introductory articles describe the challenges of reading the New Testament in ancient and contemporary contexts, as well as exploring other themes ranging from the Jewish heritage of early Christianity to the legacy of the Apocalyptic. These are followed by the survey “Jesus and the Christian Gospels.” Each chapter (Matthew through Acts) includes an introduction and commentary on the text through the lenses of three critical questions: The Text in Its Ancient Context. What did the text probably mean in its original historical and cultural context? The Text in the Interpretive Tradition. How have centuries of reading and interpreting shaped our understanding of the text? The Text in Contemporary Discussion. What are the unique challenges and interpretive questions that arise for readers and hearers of the text today? The Gospels and Acts introduces fresh perspectives and draws students, as well as preachers and interested readers, into the challenging work of interpretation.

Book Synopsis The Conception of Punishment in Early Indian Literature by : Terence Day
Download or read book The Conception of Punishment in Early Indian Literature written by Terence Day and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early textual source of the vast body of Dharmasastra literature of India on religion, law, and morality contain numerous statements that present or imply an undefined conception of punishment. Yet nowhere is this conception formally defined, as if knowledge of its nature and structure were generally known. In this “first-ever” attempt to provide a definition of the conception and to recover its ideational infrastructure, the author has drawn on these sources to reconstruct the theoretical backgrounds of its distinctive metaphysical, religious, juridical, social, and moral components. He shows that the conception is “the totality of correction principles, powers, agents, processes, and operations through which acts contrary to the Universal Order are counteracted and compensated.” The volume contains extensive documentation, a glossary of Sanskrit terms, a selected bibliography, and an index.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of New Testament, Gender, and Sexuality by : Benjamin H. Dunning
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of New Testament, Gender, and Sexuality written by Benjamin H. Dunning and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over several decades, scholarship in New Testament and early Christianity has drawn attention both to the ways in which ancient Mediterranean conceptions of embodiment, sexual difference, and desire were fundamentally different from modern ones and also to important lines of genealogical connection between the past and the present. The result is that the study of "gender" and "sexuality" in early Christianity has become an increasingly complex undertaking. This is a complexity produced not only by the intricacies of conflicting historical data, but also by historicizing approaches that query the very terms of analysis whereby we inquire into these questions in the first place. Yet at the same time, recent work on these topics has produced a rich and nuanced body of scholarly literature that has contributed substantially to our understanding of early Christian history and also proved relevant to ongoing theological and social debates. The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Sexuality in the New Testament provides a roadmap to this lively scholarly landscape, introducing both students and other scholars to the relevant problems, debates, and issues. Leading scholars in the field offer original contributions by way of synthesis, critical interrogation, and proposals for future questions, hypotheses, and research trajectories.

Book Synopsis The Literary Construction of the Other in the Acts of the Apostles by : Mitzi J. Smith
Download or read book The Literary Construction of the Other in the Acts of the Apostles written by Mitzi J. Smith and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often the negative characterization of "others" in the biblical text is applied to groups and persons beyond the text whom we wish to define as the Other. Otherness is a synthetic and political social construct that allows us to create and maintain boundaries between "them" and "us." The other that is too similar to us is most problematic. This book demonstrates how proximate characters are constructed as the Other in the Acts of the Apostles. Charismatics, Jews, and women are proximate others who are constructed as the external and internal Other.
