Parables and Rhetoric in the Sermon on the Mount : New Approaches to a Classical Text (9783161541025)

-


Parable research has to a large degree ignored the Sermon on the Mount (SM) and for its part, research into the SM has likewise left the parables by the wayside. However, the use of parabolic language in more than one third of the SM influences its interpretation and indeed opens up a new approach to it. In the current volume, Ernst Baasland focuses on this important factor, whilst also taking the rhetoric of Jesus' teaching into consideration. The author maintains that rhetorical features have a great bearing on the interpretation of the text with the overall structure illuminating the entire composition of the sermon. Fresh insights into its oration therefore serve to challenge the source problem in a new way. The religious and philosophical settings of this most well-known of Christ's preachings are clarified by its parables and rhetoric; and the sermon's Jewish background has often been investigated. While the author continues with that particular task, he simultaneously affords more emphasis to the parallels in (Greek) Hellenistic literature. The combining of all these factors leads to a clearer comprehension of the Sermon on the Mount's philosophy of life and provides a better understanding of this classical text.

My Dinner with Andre : A Screenplay (0802130631)

-
Gambar
My Dinner with Andre is a passionate, volatile, and humorous encounter between two friends who have not seen each other for a long time, and decide to catch up on each others' lives over dinner. Andre Gregory is an intense, highly experimental theater director and playwright in search of life's meanings and spiritual revelations. His friend, Wally Shawn, is an actor and playwright living in New York who is more preoccupied with the search for his next meal. As Andre recounts his global journeys involving esoteric theatrical experiments and mystical adventures, Wally listens with more than skepticism, as his attitudes shift among wonder, puzzlement, admiration, and anger. What finally emerges is a sensitive portrait of a friendship that survives and transcends contransting assumptions about love, death, art, and man's continuing quest for self-fulfillment.

ARTE DE TRATAR CON LAS MUJERES, EL (9788420651354)

En "El arte de tratar con las mujeres", Franco Volpi ha recopilado y ordenado una antología de textos y sentencias en las que el feroz misógino que fue Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) expone sus ideas acerca del papel de la mujer en la existencia humana. Volumen proyectado con un espíritu lúdico que respira ya la misma introducción, su contenido resulta hoy, afortunadamente, un risible catálogo de consejos destinados a prevenir al varón frente a la ardua relación con el bello sexo o un repertorio de resentidas invectivas más motivo de curiosidad que otra cosa. Dependiendo del lector, sus líneas políticamente incorrectas moverán sin duda a sonrisa o a indignación. Sea una u otra, conviene, sin embargo, no perder de vista que el fondo que subyace tras muchas de estas sentencias es el que ha nutrido hasta hace muchos menos años de los que podríamos suponer buena parte de los pensamientos masculinos, y que posiblemente en muchos casos aún lo sigue haciendo.
