Après qüUrsus eut vu Gwynplaine s¿enfoncer sous la porte de la geôle de Southwark, il demeura, hagard, dans le recoin où il s¿était mis en observation. Il eut longtemps dans l¿oreille ce grincement de serrures et de verrous qui semble le hurlement de joie de la prison dévorant un misérable. Il attendit. Quoi? Il épia. Quoi? Ces inexorables portes, une fois fermées, ne se rouvrent pas tout de suite, elles sont ankylosées par leur stagnation dan...

«Le dixhuitième siècle fut un siècle destructeur, nous fûmes tous séduits. Nous dénaturâmes la politique, nous nous égarâmes dans de coupables nouveautés en cherchant l'existence sociale dans la corruption de nos m¿urs. La révolution vint nous réveiller: en poussant le Français hors de son lit, elle le jeta dans la tombe. Toutefois, le règne de la terreur est peutêtre, de toutes les époques de la révolution, celle qui fut la moins dangereuse à...

If poetry has a soul, it might be metaphor, since metaphor transforms and enlivens even our most common objects and experiences. In this latest poetic excursion by Raymond Haan, you will find many common objects, among them garbage cans, a mole, a dune ride, Oliver the dog, a door and hinge, a needle, a raspberry, and a trapped raccoon. For the author, each of these bits of common terrain transforms into a new-found land, a fresh and less tang...

Institutions are very precious. If any idea is going to persist into the future, then it needs an institution to keep it going. Each of us comes to understand, often only gradually over the decades, how some influences from our earlier life have affected us. Some will have been inspiring. Some will have given us direct models of how to behave or how not to behave. Indeed, it is often the case that the deeper an influence turns out to have been...

For the majority of Christian history, the parable has suffered either from extreme allegorical treatments or from unimaginative readings limiting the parable to a single-point example story of virtue. A creative reading employing social and historical methods generates a refreshing telling of...

The Day of the Lord texts of Malachi (Mal 3:2, 7, 4:5) demonstrate that he seems to allude to Joel's Day of the Lord (2:11, 13, 31 [MT 3:4]). Malachi's Day of the Lord seems to have a strong inner-biblical relationship with the Day of the Lord motif of Joel. A significant interpretive loss is committed when allusion is recognized in the source text but ignored and not explored. Thus, the passages themselves call for an inner-biblical allusion ...

The average age a child encounters pornography is eleven, and by fourteen, most children have already been exposed--even Christians. Martinez-Herbert was a part of that statistic. Pornography is foreign. Intriguing. Enticing. But all vicious creatures eventually show their predator nature. A Church Girl's Recovery is an introspective excavation of pain, struggle, and hope throughout a fourteen-year recovery journey that focuses on God's promis...

We Believe in the Holy Spirit is a collection of articles reflecting some of the most important ideas in pneumatology in recent years.
