Judges, Ruth
by K. Lawson YoungerThe concept of judgment is at odds with today’s culture, which considers it a sin to suggest there is such a thing as sin. Perhaps that is partly because we have seen all too clearly the fallibility of those who judge. What many of us long for is not judgment but righteousness and deliverance from oppression. That is why the books of Judges and Ruth are so relevant today: Judges, because it reveals a God who employs very human deliverers but refuses to gloss over their sins and the consequences of those sins; and Ruth, because it demonstrates the far-reaching impact of a righteous character. Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Dr. K. Lawson Younger Jr. shares literary perspectives on the books of Judges and Ruth that reveal ageless truths for our twenty-first-century lives. Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. They focus on the original meaning of the passage but don’t discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable--but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps bring both halves of the interpretive task together. This unique, award-winning series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our postmodern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it speaks powerfully today.

Judging Faith, Punishing Sin
by Parker Charles H. Starr-Lebeau GretchenJudging Faith, Punishing Sin breaks new ground by offering the first comparative treatment of Catholic inquisitions and Calvinist consistories, offering scholars a new framework for analysing religious reform and social discipline in the great Christian age of reformation. Global in scope, both institutions played critical roles in prosecuting deviance, implementing religious uniformity, and promoting moral discipline in the social upheaval of the Reformation. Rooted in local archives and addressing specific themes, the essays survey the state of scholarship and chart directions for future inquiry and, taken as a whole, demonstrate the unique convergence of penitential practice, legal innovation, church authority, and state power, and how these forces transformed Christianity. Bringing together leading scholars across four continents, this volume is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of religion in the early modern world. University students and scholars alike will appreciate its clear introduction to scholarly debates and cutting edge scholarship.
Judging Noa
by Michel StrutinNoa, at sixteen, sets out with the twelve tribes of the Exodus, dreaming of a life of freedom and the Promised Land that her father says will be theirs. When religious fanatics kill her father, Noa and her four sisters are in danger of being sold into bondage. Noa vows to win women's rights of inheritance to protect her sisters and herself. Pleading her case before ever-higher courts, Noa encounters a malicious judge and the dark side of power.?? Gaining strength and complexity as she approaches the highest judge, Noa and her pursuit causes turmoil among the tribes: she is a notorious troublemaker, accused of witchery. And she is heroic. Based on a few biblical verses, the turbulence of Noa's life is set against the sweeping turbulence of the Exodus. In Judging Noa, her quest for justice is a journey that has as much meaning today as it did then.
Judging 'Privileged' Jews
by Adam BrownThe Nazis' persecution of the Jews during the Holocaust included the creation of prisoner hierarchies that forced victims to cooperate with their persecutors. Many in the camps and ghettos came to hold so-called "privileged" positions, and their behavior has often been judged as self-serving and harmful to fellow inmates. Such controversial figures constitute an intrinsically important, frequently misunderstood, and often taboo aspect of the Holocaust. Drawing on Primo Levi's concept of the "grey zone," this study analyzes the passing of moral judgment on "privileged" Jews as represented by writers, such as Raul Hilberg, and in films, including Claude Lanzmann's Shoah and Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List. Negotiating the problems and potentialities of "representing the unrepresentable," this book engages with issues that are fundamental to present-day attempts to understand the Holocaust and deeply relevant to reflections on human nature.

Judging the Macquaries: Injustice and Mercy in Colonial Australia
by John HarrisThe Black Lives Matter movement is bringing the characters of powerful people in colonial times into sharp focus, particularly their attitudes and actions towards slavery and indigenous peoples. Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie are among those being scrutinised and reassessed. They arrived at the penal colony of NSW, a remote outpost of the British empire in 1809. The European invaders had barely survived two decades in an alien environment but, for countless millennia, home to its Aboriginal inhabitants. Lachlan was the new governor. Elizabeth, his wife, was his closest friend and fiercest supporter.The colony was an unruly mix of convicts, soldiers and settlers. At the time, Lachlan Macquarie’s leadership was judged by his handling of the convicts. Lachlan and Elizabeth treated the convicts humanely, forgiving them and restoring them to society. His superiors considered him far too lenient, yet to Sydneysiders, as ‘The Father of Australia’, he had gifted them the path to a prosperous future.Today, Lachlan is being judged by his treatment of Aboriginal people. The Macquaries thought they were being kind, yet they ignored the injustice of dispossession. Aboriginal people were British citizens under the protection of British law – a law they were expected to obey. Although known for his humanity, Lachlan had a fatal flaw. When hostilities broke out between Aborigines and settlers on the outskirts of the colony, he took the fateful decision to send in the military. This will never be forgotten, yet his sins were the sins of the empire he tried so hard to serve.Award-winning author and historian John Harris never baulks at handling controversial subjects. In this timely book, he tackles the disputes that marked Lachlan Macquarie’s period as governor and the complex controversies which still surround his actions today.

El judío errante
by César Vidal«Vagarás eternamente y no descansarás hasta mi regreso.»Con estas palabras, Jesús de Nazaret, yendo camino del Calvario, condenó a un joven orfebre judío a seguir vivo hasta que él volviera al final de los tiempos. La razón para imponerle ese destino fue que le había negado un instante de reposo cuando se encaminaba hacia su ejecución en la cruz. Durante los años siguientes, aquel «judío errante» padeció la guerra con Roma en la que fue destruido el Templo, se vio obligado a abandonar su amada Jerusalén, pero, por encima de todo, se convirtió en testigo de excepción de la trágica andadura de su pueblo. El verdadero significado del Apocalipsis, la sublevación del mesías Bar Kojba, los verdaderos orígenes de la Cábala, los pogromos de 1391, el apoyo de Oliver Cromwell a los judíos, la predicación de Sabbatai Zvi, los primeros escritos de Marx, el surgimiento del sionismo de Herzl, el drama vital de Mahler, los inicios del psicoanálisis freudiano, la juventud oculta de Hitler o el Holocausto son tan sólo algunos de los jalones recorridos por el judío errante a lo largo de un vagar proyectado a través de los milenios.

Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, and the Theology of Freedom (Routledge Critical Studies in Religion, Gender and Sexuality)
by Gunda WernerThis book explores how Judith Butler’s work on gender and the shaping of the human subject and Michel Foucault's notion of parrhesia, ‘speaking the truth’, can be made fruitful for a theology of freedom. The volume illustrates the importance of three concepts - freedom, gender (body) and power (critique) - and how this triad provides the foundational categories and structural elements of a theology of freedom. By starting from an analysis of power and the performative potential of gendered embodiment, freedom can be thought of as the basis of creative and critical human action and thereby implemented in theology. The chapters feature several theological-historical case studies that are representative of topics that continue to shape contemporary Catholic norms and thought. In particular, the author reflects on the 13th century with the idea of personal sin and confession, and the 19th century with a gender ideology that has led to the marginalization of difference and dissent. The book shows how Butler and Foucault can provide essential insights for Catholic theology and is valuable reading for scholars of religion, philosophy, and gender and sexuality studies.

El juego favorito
by Leonard CohenUna obra lírica y profunda, que remite a los amores trágicos propios del universo de Leonard Cohen. Una historia sobre las consecuencias que pueden tener los juegos de juventud en la vida adulta. El talento de Leonard Cohen demuestra una nueva profundidad en El juego favorito, que retrata la vida de Breavman, un niño judío que crece en el Montreal de los años cincuenta. Descendiente de una de las familias más ricas de la ciudad, propietaria de fábricas y otros establecimientos, el padre de Brevman está gravemente enfermo del corazón y apenas puede moverse de la cama. Criado en una casa con sirvientes, Breavman se considera una especie de último judío victoriano nacido en las postrimerías de un mundo que poco a poco llega a su fin. Lejos de elegías por la decadencia de su estirpe, lo que más interesa al joven son las mujeres, un interés que Cohen retrata con minuciosa precisión y que marcará la vida del protagonista. El juego favorito es una obra lírica y profunda, que remite al universo de amores trágicos e imposibles que Leonard Cohen posteriormente cristalizó en canciones tan emblemáticas como «So Long Marianne», «Hallelujah», «There is a War», «I'm your man», «Alexandra Leaving» o «The letters». Una novela que es una puerta de entrada privilegiada para descifrar el fascinante universo del autor.
El juego favorito
by Leonard CohenUna obra lírica y profunda, que remite a los amores trágicos propios del universo de Leonard Cohen. Una historia sobre las consecuencias que pueden tener los juegos de juventud en la vida adulta. «Lo que consigue Cohen, lo mismo que Proust, es devolver a cada cosa, a cada instante, el brillo que tuvo en el pasado.»Ray Loriga Lawrence Breavman, el protagonista de esta primera novela que Leonard Cohen escribió en 1963, tiene muchos puntos en común con el propio autor: ambos buscan amor y belleza, y ambos atraviesan momentos de felicidad absoluta y angustia profunda, pues crecen siempre un poco a destiempo, acumulando experiencias como quien junta monedas sin conocer muy bien su valor. Hijo único de una familia judía de Montreal, Lawrence va descubriendo los rincones ocultos de su ciudad en compañía de Krantz, su mejor amigo de la infancia. Se encamina luego hacia la adolescencia y al encuentro del primer amor, Lisa, mostrando heridas que para un niño son medallas, para un amante se convierten en secretos, y que en general nos revelan el mundo en carne viva. Digna heredera de El guardián entre el centeno, de J. D. Salinger, y de Retrato del artista adolescente, de James Joyce, pero hija de la estética de los años sesenta, El juego favorito es una espléndida novela de iniciación que nos abre el camino hacia los deberes y placeres de la vida adulta. Reseñas:«Hay poca, poquísima gente que pueda ocupar el lugar que habita Cohen. Es nuestra Mary Shelley, nuestro lord Byron».Bono «Leonard Cohen es tres escritores diferentes que son el mismo poeta; sus obras pueden estar en verso, en prosa o dentro de una canción, pero siempre logran lo que consigue un buen poema: transformar las palabras en un encantamiento.»Benjamín Prado, El Mundo«Una obra lírica y profunda, que remite al universo de amores trágicos e imposibles que Cohen posteriormente cristalizó en canciones tan emblemáticas como So Long Marianne, Hallelujah [...] oThe letters.»El Cultural «Casilírica. El mundo crepuscular que Cohen no paró de cantar a lo largo de toda su vida.»Karina Sainz Borgo, Vozpópuli «Dos joyas de la narrativa […] que recuerdan cuán imperecederamente viva resulta también su prosa.»Javier Herrero, EFE «Un escritor de gran energía y color.»The Observer«Un libro moralmente valiente, íntimo e inquebrantable [...]. Leonard Cohen mantiene el más alto nivel de artesanía poética.»Paul Quarrington «Su escritura captura el espléndido lirismo que tanto amamos en sus canciones, así como unainocencia juvenil, una picardía y una crudeza que no me esperaba.»Ottessa Moshfegh, CNN (sobre Un ballet de leprosos)
