One of Library Journals Best BooksForeword Magazine Book of the Year Award FinalistMidwest Publishing Association Honorable MentionThousands of people start each day with a shot of Coffee with Jesus, the enormously popular online comic strip. Irreverent at times, yet always insightful, this volume features classic entries and all new, exclusive material that was born out of artist David Wilkies frustration with the polarized political climate in America."Originally created as a one-off, single-panel comic on my blog, utilizing old advertising clip art for the main characters and Sunday school clip art for the person of Jesus, I simply enjoyed the notion of Jesus appearing at table with these people (dressed as they were and sharing coffee with them) to refute their claims of how he might vote on any particular issue, to convince them that they cannot confuse their flag with their Godto set them straight, as it were," explains Wilkie.But it didn?t stop here. Soon the Jesus of Coffee with Jesus could be seen offering counsel to a recurring cast of characters on their personal and work lives. The charactersCarl, Lisa, Ann, Kevin and Joeall honestly engage with Jesus about their successes and failures and wants and needs, effectively showing what conversation with Godor prayermight look like.Poignant, pointed, and rife with good theology, Coffee with Jesus is organized around six themes: getting to know Jesus, spiritual disciplines, relationships, culture, church, and the challenges of life. With exclusive material like twelve-panel mega-strips and "behind the strip" reflections on life, faith and art, Wilkie inventively poses answers to the perpetual Christian speculation, "What would Jesus do?"

Experience the Kaleidoscopic Mystery of the CrossEverything about the gospel message leads to the cross, and proceeds from the cross. In fact, within the narrative of Scripture, the crucifixion of Jesus is literally the crux of the storythe axis upon which the biblical story turns. But it would be a mistake to think we could sum up the significance of the crucifixion in a tidy sentence or two. That kind of thinking only insulates us from the magnificence of what God has done. In our ongoing quest to make meaning of the cross, we need to recognize that this conversation will never concludethat there is always something more to be said.Brian Zahnd reminds us that the meaning of the cross is multifaceted and should touch every aspect of our lives. Just as gazing through the eyepiece of a kaleidoscope reveals a new geometric image with every turn, Zahnd helps us see that there are infinite ways to behold the cross of Christ as the beautiful form that saves the world. In The Wood Between the Worlds, youll find: A compelling theopoetics of the cross that will bring deeper curiosity, appreciation, and wonder for the cross of Christ, References to music, art, literature, and culture that bring new perspectives to our understanding of the cross, and Zahnds keen insights that liberate readers from flawed atonement theories and open us to experience anew the mystery of the cross. The Wood Between the Worlds is an invitation to encounter the cross of Christ anew.

During her lifetime Marianne Moore was that rarest of combinations, a genuine leader in the art of poetry, as well as a bona fide celebrity. She was an instantly recognisable symbol of Brooklyn, New York, appearing on the cover of Life magazine, asked by the Ford Motor Company to christen their new family sedan, and by the New York Yankees to throw the opening pitch of their baseball season. However, because of Moores restless, seldom-ceasing, decade-spanning revision of her own poems, creating a stable text of her work has posed editors a challenge ever since. Moore tackled the problem herself: Complete Poems (1967) was her own selection, but she favoured the later work, including less than half of her output up to that point. Omissions are not accidents, she wrote pointedly in that edition, but for some readers the absence of more than one hundred poems constituted a wilful neglect of her startlingly innovative, highly influential early work, and contributed to Moores undervaluing as a modernist poet. Marianne Moore scholar Heather Cass White has prepared an edition of poems that, for the first time, presents the full range of Moores work in its published order, while honouring the complex textual lives of the poems. With an inviting introduction and meticulous notes, the New Collected Poems of Marianne Moore is the first definitive text of this most celebrated writer, whose poems form part, as T. S. Eliot declared, of the small body of durable poetry written in our time.

Con menos recursos, la seguridad social ha mutado al concepto de protección social. La práctica política hace lo posible para multiplicar los subsidios directos en beneficio de los pobres. Tal despliegue concebido en el mejor caso como derecho, representa inusitadamente algunos peligros: los rasgos de la universalidad se re enfocan en una clase pobre, la otrora optimista prevision social avanza en direccion contraria a las instituciones politicas que la representan, como el dialogo social, la solidaridad y el reconocimiento progresivo de beneficios, visualizando exclusivamente un espacio fiscal para los no contributivos.

Jesus zieht mit seiner Gefolgschaft als Wunderheiler weiter durchs Land. ER ist auf dem Hohepunkt seiner Popularitat. Das einfache Volk feiert IHN und Jesus hat alle Optionen: Burgermeister von Kapernaum, Brotherr von Galilaa, Konig von Israel, Gotteskrieger gegen Rom. Aber Jesus will das alles nicht. ER hat eine andere Mission: ER will die Vertrauensbeziehung der Menschen zu Gott-Vater wieder herstellen.Der Konflikt mit der Amtskirche ist vorprogrammiert: So einen Messias wollen wir nicht! Jesus muss weg! Aber Jesus zieht sein Ding durch und provoziert den Klerus, bis der seine Kreuzigung bei Pilatus durchsetzt.War Karfreitag ein Unfall? Oder war die grausame Hinrichtung Jesu im unergrundlichen Plan Gottes zwangslaufig? Zumindest ist der Tod die Voraussetzung fur die Auferstehung
