Book Synopsis Parable Hunter by : Ricardo Pau-Llosa
Download or read book Parable Hunter written by Ricardo Pau-Llosa and published by Carnegie-Mellon University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four movements of Parable Hunter explore the themes of need, instinct, fulfillment and transcendence--the cardinal points of the self. What the points share is parable-making--the ground of all reflection. The identification of new vantage points on the world--in works of art, looking out of plane windows, or enveloped in nature and weather--itself becomes a parable for reflecting on the imagination, that stage where phenomenology and animism coalesce.

Book Synopsis All the Parables of Jesus by : David M. Brown
Download or read book All the Parables of Jesus written by David M. Brown and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like yeast, parables are explosive stories of Jesus that invade our lives and transform us into citizens of the kingdom of God. But they are also cryptic, and thats where this book is useful. More than an explanation or interpretation of each parable, this definitive work is primarily an exercise in hermeneutics. In it, readers are taken through a process of discovering which sayings of Jesus are parables, problematic questions related to counting and categorizing them, and Jesus rationale for speaking in parables. The work then analyzes four distinct ways that parables are structured and three levels at which they do their work in us. The final chapter presents parable-related hermeneutical guidelines, and the book ends with seven extensive Appendices and two Indexes. It is a must read for every biblical scholar!

Download or read book Screwjack written by Hunter S. Thompson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2000-12-13 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An almost unnaturally poignant love story from the father of “Gonzo” journalism and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Hunter S. Thompson. What makes the romantic short story Screwjack so touching, for all its queerness, is the aching melancholy in its depiction of the modern man's burden: that "we are doomed. Mama has gone off to Real Estate School...and after that maybe even to Law School. We will never see her again." Hunter S. Thompson’s most searing and unnaturally poignant love story, Screwjack is simultaneously eerie and feverish, debauched and affecting. Never before—and perhaps never since—has modern man’s melancholia been so vividly revealed in one powerful story.

Download or read book Praus written by Hunter Lambeth and published by Harperandharperpublishing.com. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consider the war that wages in our hearts and minds as leaders: Do I compromise my principles to get ahead? Do I avoid taking a stand on something I believe in because I'm afraid of potential loss? Do I treat people I care about in a way that undermines trust and respect? Why does my life feel so out of balance and out of control right now? As leaders, these feelings of inner conflict and guilt, if left unresolved, erode our effectiveness and ultimately diminish our legacy. And that's why Praus (prah-oos) was written. In Praus, Jack Harper's inner turmoil is much like what we experience in leadership in business and in life. And it takes Jack coming face-to-face with his older, wiser self to lead him to the timeless truths -- the "Great 8" legacy virtues -- that help him win the war within and discover the peace and renewed sense of purpose he's been looking for. Derived from ancient Greece, "praus" is a military term used to describe the resolute focus and discipline of a powerful war horse, trained to obey every command of its rider, no matter how great the confusion of battle. Praus is also a metaphor for how we can harness great strength through virtue, so that we can achieve lasting peace within and be free to fulfill our highest potential as leaders.
Download or read book The Parables in Q written by Dieter Roth and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few New Testament topics have been discussed as often and as intensely as Q, the hypothesized second major source alongside the gospel of Mark for the gospels of Matthew and Luke, and the parables. And yet, no monograph to date has been devoted to considering the parables in Q. In addition to filling this gap in New Testament scholarship, Dieter T. Roth addresses the need to move scholarship on both Q and the parables forward along methodological and interpretive lines. Roth considers Q not as a text behind Matthew and Luke that needs to be reconstructed but rather as an intertext between Matthew and Luke that offered plots, characters, and images in parables that were taken up by Matthew and Luke and utilized in their own respective texts. In addition, Roth draws on recent parables research in his examination of the 27 parables in Q (two spoken by John the Baptist, one by the Centurion, and 24 by Jesus) in order to consider their purpose and function in this early Christian text.
Book Synopsis Hunter of Stories by : Eduardo Galeano
Download or read book Hunter of Stories written by Eduardo Galeano and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internationally acclaimed last work by the legendary Latin American writer Master storyteller Eduardo Galeano was unique among his contemporaries (Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa among them) for his commitment to retelling our many histories, including the stories of those who were disenfranchised. A philosopher poet, his nonfiction is infused with such passion and imagination that it matches the intensity and the appeal of Latin America's very best fiction. Comprised of all new material, published here for the first time in a wonderful English translation by longtime collaborator Mark Fried, Hunter of Stories is a deeply considered collection of Galeano's final musings and stories on history, memory, humor, and tragedy. Written in his signature style -- vignettes that fluidly combine dialogue, fables, and anecdotes -- every page displays the original thinking and compassion that has earned Galeano decades and continents of renown.

Book Synopsis The Mysterious Parable by : Madeleine Boucher
Download or read book The Mysterious Parable written by Madeleine Boucher and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph studies the parable as a literary construct. It addresses the question why the ancients understood parables as mysterious speech. The study disputes the binary opposition of (clear) parables and (obscure) allegories. Defining allegory as an extended metaphor in narratory form, it argues that many parables are allegories. The parable is defined as narrative in form; tropical in mode of meaning; religious or ethical in genre; and rhetorical in purpose, intended to persuade. Requiring (sometimes challenging) interpretation, the parable can rightly be considered "mysterious." The monograph then discusses the parable in the context of Mark's theme of mystery.
Book Synopsis Stewardship and the Kingdom of God by : Dennis J. Ireland
Download or read book Stewardship and the Kingdom of God written by Dennis J. Ireland and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The parable of the unjust steward in Luke 16:1-13 is a unity which teaches faithful stewardship of material possession against an eschatological backdrop. This interpretation is confirmed by examination of the pericope itself and progressively wider levels of context within Luke's Gospel. Chapter one provides a history of recent interpretations of the parable (nineteenth and twentieth centuries) as background for the ensuing study. Detailed exegesis of Luke 16:1-13 itself is found in chapter two. The investigation is broadened in chapter three to include the immediate and broader literary contexts (Luke 15-16 and 9:51-19:44, respectively). Chapter four examines the theological context, in particular the themes of riches and poverty and the kingdom of God. Chapter five summarizes the major conclusions of the book. The book is a thorough summary of the literature on the parable, the central section, and the themes of riches and poverty and eschatology in the third Gospel.

Book Synopsis Adult Hunt by : Dr. Roselinda Johnson, Ed.D.
Download or read book Adult Hunt written by Dr. Roselinda Johnson, Ed.D. and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult Hunt was written from many documented stories of abuses that children were subjected to by their parents, friends, or strangers. This book will help other children to know that they are not alone in their suffering and where to go for help. All of this is entwined into a science fiction story where the children get to travel into a domed underwater environment near Washington, D.C. where they receive everything a child could want. They then get to choose which Holodeck Maze Game their abusers must go through in order to pay them back for their many abuses. No person is actually killed or injured during this competition, however, the abusers feel the effects of the games in real time. Both the child and the abuser are given gold rings with angels whose eyes turn from green to ruby red when it is their time to complete the games. "May your chances favor your outcomes" was written across the top of each application which the children had filled out and e-mailed to enter the Holodeck Maze Games.
Download or read book The Servant written by James C. Hunter and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2008-06-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an introduction on using the principles of The Servant in your life and career, this book redefines what it means to be a leader. In this absorbing tale, you watch the timeless principles of servant leadership unfold through the story of John Daily, a businessman whose outwardly successful life is spiraling out of control. He is failing miserably in each of his leadership roles as boss, husband, father, and coach. To get his life back on track, he reluctantly attends a weeklong leadership retreat at a remote Benedictine monastery. To John's surprise, the monk leading the seminar is a former business executive and Wall Street legend. Taking John under his wing, the monk guides him to a realization that is simple yet profound: The true foundation of leadership is not power, but authority, which is built upon relationships, love, service, and sacrifice. Along with John, you will learn that the principles in this book are neither new nor complex. They don't demand special talents; they are simply based on strengthening the bonds of respect, responsibility, and caring with the people around you. The Servant's message can be applied by anyone, anywhere—at home or at work. If you are tired of books that lecture instead of teach; if you are searching for ways to improve your leadership skills; if you want to understand the timeless virtues that lead to lasting and meaningful success, then this book is one you cannot afford to miss.
