Focusing on the artistic side of Jesus, the book explores how he was influenced by the Book of Proverbs, suggesting that many of his parables stem from specific verses within it. It argues that Jesus expanded on themes of wisdom, challenging the traditional notion that wisdom leads to reward and folly to punishment. By presenting Jesus as a creative artist, the text offers a fresh perspective on biblical wisdom, emphasizing his innovative approach to conveying profound truths through storytelling. Part I illustrates these connections in detail.
Doing Good, Departing from Research Findings in the Twenty-First Century emphasizes that goodness must be actively enacted, not abstractly discussed, that evil is present and must be fought, and that in-depth research into problems provides wisdom to proceed with that battle in the new century. Eleven scholars investigate problematic topics and offer potential guidance about racism, propaganda, marital tensions, educational inequities, college dropouts, elders’ depression, neglect of the disabled, and even peacemaking between faith-based and secular social work agencies as well as Israelis and Palestinians. This collection offers no easy answers to complex problems, but points the way to potentially positive modes of mending the world, and invites readers to share in this challenging task.
Elie Wiesel’s novels – The Town Beyond the Wall, Twilight, The Gates of the Forest, The Accident, A Beggar in Jerusalem, and The Judges – win literary prizes in France, but often receive poor reviews in the United States. Lambert analyzes them clearly and cogently via two key theodicy and friendship. She shows how the angry, embittered Holocaust survivor protagonists approach the God who seems to have broken His covenant at Auschwitz. This approach to God is made through friendships, some real and some mystical. Her analyses now render Wiesel’s novels accessible to Americans who may already appreciate his essays and memoirs.
