An illuminating study of Bonhoeffer's exegetical practice. The book is crammed full of meticulous close readings of exegetical texts from the 1930s, starting with Bonhoeffer's 1925 paper on pneumatological exegesis, and culminating in the way Bonhoef ...more

Was fehlt, wenn ich verschwunden bin by Lilly Lindner

Ein unfassbar trauriger und bewegender Briefroman über zwei Schwestern. Die Briefe sind leicht und schön geschrieben, allerdings fand ich manchmal, dass die Handlung zu langsam und wiederholend war. Hätte das Buch etwas kürzer sein können, hätte ich ...more

Die Frau auf der Treppe by Bernhard Schlink

Dieses Buch fand ich schließlich enttäuschend. Die Handlung, die sich um ein Bild, eine Frau und drei Männer dreht, ist grundsätzlich schwer zu glauben. Der australische Schauplatz hat mich auch nicht völlig überzeugt. Ich bin selbst Australier und h ...more

First published in 1910, I believe this was the first book-length study of Blake's Job illustrations. It is a masterful work, combining meticulous readings of Blake's designs with sane and balanced conclusions. Unlike some of the other commentaries I ...more

A brief but solid commentary on Blake's Job illustrations. Wright doesn't get bogged down in esoteric symbolism but focuses on the larger story that Blake is telling, with particular attention to its differences and similarities to the Bible. ...more

“Because of him, the emptiness of death has been filled with God’s fullness.”
Benjamin Myers, The Apostles' Creed: A Guide to the Ancient Catechism

“The name of Pontius Pilate is a historical anchor. It prevents us from turning the Christian faith into a set of general truths about the world. It reminds us that the gospel is not an idea but a fact.”
Benjamin Myers, The Apostles' Creed: A Guide to the Ancient Catechism

“when we say the Apostles’ Creed we are reminded that life itself is founded on trust. Christians in the ancient church went naked to the waters of baptism. The second birth is like the first. We are totally dependent. We bring nothing with us except life. The birth cry of baptism is the threefold “I believe” of the creed, a cry of total trust in the Triune God.”
Benjamin Myers, The Apostles' Creed: A Guide to the Ancient Catechism
