Easter Theologian of the 20Th Century, Argued That Jesus Himself Is the Subject of the Cryptic and Caustic Stories That We Call Parables— April 21, 2019, 6:30 A.M Spring Sermon Series: “Crazy Talk: Stories Jesus Told (About Himself)” Karl Barth, whom many scholars identify as the greatest Easter theologian of the 20th century, argued that Jesus himself is the subject of the cryptic and caustic stories that we call parables— April 21, 2019, 6:30 a.m. which explains why we kill Christ in large part because of the stories he tells. Jesus, for example, is the Father’s son who goes into the far country. Robert Capon, author and interpreter of the parables, argued that the parables are primarily ways Jesus spoke of his death. Thus, Jesus is the fatted calf whose whole life and purpose is his death which makes possible a feast of reconciliation. Often Jesus’ parables are interpreted in a way that makes his death seem a tragic misunderstanding. By contrast, the parables do not reveal eternal truths or universal principles about God that are intelligible to anyone. The parables are stories told to Jesus’ disciples even if others are near to hear. They reveal not timeless truths but the scandal of the Gospel and what it means to be a student of that good news and a community whose life would not be possible without it.

Peter Llewelyn Davies and Alice Hargreaves meet in a bookshop and reminisce about the authors and fictional characters that helped develop their identities. All characters in the play, J.M. Barrie, Lewis Carroll, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland help expose dark secrets about Peter and Alice while helping them connect to one another. Throughout his play, Logan shows the reality and repercussions of fantasy fiction. Peter and Alice illustrates how the biographical backgrounds of Peter and Alice have woven together with Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland to create a darker legacy for once lighthearted children’s stories.

  • Peter and Alice”; Or: the Dangers of Biopic Realism Franziska E
    Lewis Carroll Review The Reviewing Journal of the Lewis Carroll Society [published in Issue 50, 2013, pp.5-8] Peter Logan's “Peter and Alice”; or: The dangers of biopic realism Franziska E. Kohlt A few weeks ago, I went to see "Peter and Alice”, a play by John Logan presented by the Michael Grandage Company, at the Noel Coward Theatre in London, and when people asked me, whether I liked it, I didn't quite know how to respond. The play is developed from the historical meeting of Alice Liddell Hargreaves and Peter Llywelyn Davies in 1932, the real-life models for Lewis Carroll's Alice and J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, and has them musing about their struggles to reconcile their own lives with that of their literary shadows. Did I like the idea? A play that combined the history of two of my favourite novels, with what may have been said or thought between the lines of written biography, as one review put it, the "Proustian fantasies" of the two protagonists exploring themselves, their personalities and their past through the genesis of those fictional creations - yes, I do like the idea a lot. Did I like the acting, the mis-en-scène? The stage - Davies' bookshop first, then Alice Liddell's Oxford, then Neverland, turning into the house of the Davie's, the villa of Reginald Hargreaves, the Great War, Wonderland, and then again the bookshop - represented the layers of the story - the present, history, memory, literary fiction - and leaving the stage, the protagonists exit in correct chronological order the stage of life itself – what a splendid

He lives in isolation in a burnt-out chapel, waiting for a phone call which he is convinced will provide him with answers he has long sought. Qohen works on a mysterious project, delegated to him by Management (Matt Damon), aimed at discovering the purpose of existence - or the lack thereof - once and for all. But his solitary existence is disturbed by visits from the flirtatious Bainsley (Mélanie Thierry), and Bob (Lucas Hedges), Management’s wunderkind son.

  • From Carroll's Alice and Barrie's Peter Pan to Rowling's Harry Potter
    The178 Boy Who Lived: From Carroll’s Alice andAmy Billone Barrie’s Peter Pan to Rowling’s Harry Potter Amy Billone Who is today’s most beloved child character? In the midst of J. K. Rowling’s triumphs on the literary market, we would have difficulty giving any answer other than Harry Potter. Rowling’s fifth novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, broke records with its first print run of 6.8 million copies and a second print run of 1.7 million copies. Rowling has become an international celebrity; she is now the richest woman in England, wealthier than the Queen herself, and she has even been named an Officer of the British Empire. How- ever, five years before the publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, James Kincaid boldly declared that “no children have ever been more desirable” than Lewis Carroll’s Alice and J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan (275). In this essay I will argue that Harry Potter competes with Alice and Peter Pan by combining both of them inside himself. He experiences Peter’s ecstasy when he gracefully flies, Peter’s superhuman aptness when he battles deadly foes, and Peter’s effortless capacity to make dreams come alive. At the same time, like Alice, Harry struggles to understand the difference between what appears to be true and what is true. In Book 1, he must work his way along a chessboard by playing with and against violently destructive chess pieces; by the end of Book 5 he has suffered betrayal by nearly everyone he knows.1 Moreover, as Harry matures, he becomes angrier and angrier at the chaos surround- ing him.

  • The Church, Sin and Reconciliation – Part Iii
    THE CHURCH, SIN AND RECONCILIATION – PART III A little over five years ago, I saw a play in London (one of five in three days!) called Peter and Alice. It was a new work by the screenplay writer for the movie Skyfall which was created with two great actors in mind—Dame Judi Dench (M in Skyfall) and Ben Whishaw (Q)—portraying the real people on whom Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland were based. It was set in a London bookstore, the scene of a real meeting some years after WWI between Peter Llewelyn Davies, then in his thirties, and the 80 year-old Alice Liddell. The play moves back and forth between past and present, and reveals the apparent sexual abuse Peter and his younger brother suffered at the hands of J.M. Barrie (who adopted Peter and his four brothers when their parents died) and the abuse Alice endured from Lewis Carroll (real name, the Rev. Charles Dodgson), a close friend of her family. Alice, now old, widowed and having lost three sons in the war, has found a way to leave the past behind. Peter however, much younger and having lost a brother in the same war and another by apparent suicide—the youngest, who was also abused by Barrie—can’t let go of his bitterness. After ninety minutes without an intermission, the play ends with Alice walking through a door and briefly turning to the audience while the voice of her younger self tells us that she lived for another year and died peacefully at her beloved country home.

    THE MORNING LINE DATE: Monday, December 3, 2012 FROM: Michael Strassheim, Emily Meagher, Michelle Farabaugh, Kelly Guiod Jessica Gordon, Adam Machart PAGES: 29, including this page Neil LaBute Will Write and Direct 'Reasons to Be Pretty' Follow-Up - NYTimes.com NOVEMBER 30, 2012, 3:26 PM Neil LaBute Will Write and Direct ‘Reasons to Be Pretty’ Follow-Up By PATRICIA COHEN MCC Theater has a reason to be happy: Its playwright-in-residence, Neil LaBute, plans to direct the premiere of his play "Reasons to Be Happy" for the theater next year. The new play is described as "companion piece" to Mr. LaBute's savage comedy "Reasons to be Pretty" and features the same four characters - Greg, Steph, Carly and Kent - though in different romantic pairings. No casting has yet been announced for the new play, which was reported by The Wrap. MCC's production of "Reasons to be Pretty" debuted at the Lucille Lortel Theater in 2008 before moving to Broadway the following year. Although the move uptown was short-lived, the production was critically acclaimed and nominated for three Tony awards. That play was billed as the third in a trilogy that included "The Shape of Things" and "Fat Pig," all of which centered around the subject of physical beauty. "Reasons to Be Happy," scheduled to run from May 16 to June 23, replaces a previously announced production of John Pollono's "Small Engine Repair," which has been delayed because of scheduling conflicts for the cast. http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/...11/30/neil-labute-will-write-and-direct-reasons-to-be-pretty-follow-up/?pagewanted=print[12/3/2012 8:48:48 AM] Theater Prize Awarded - NYTimes.com December 2, 2012 Theater Prize Awarded Compiled by ADAM W.
