Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus Free FREE MARY WEPT OVER THE FEET OF JESUS PDF Chester Brown | 280 pages | 12 Apr 2016 | Drawn and Quarterly | 9781770462342 | English | Montreal, Canada Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus | The book is subtitled Prostitution and Religious Obedience in the Bibleand is made up of adaptations of stories from the Bible that Brown believes promote pro-prostitution attitudes among early Christians. He declares his research has determined that Mary, mother of Jesuswas a prostitute, that early Christians practised prostitution, and that Jesus' Parable of the Talents should be read in a pro-prostitution light. Brown describes himself as a Christian who is "not at all concerned with imposing 'moral' values or religious laws on Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus and believes that Biblical figures such as Abel and Job "find favour with God because they oppose his will or challenge him in some way". Brown lays out the simple, precise artwork in a fixed grid of four panels to a page. The dialogue is plain and direct. The cover features a vagina- shaped frame into which Brown incorporates two smiling snakes and an open book, from which red drops fall. In the book's appendices, Brown puts forth his Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus of the stories. He argues that prostitution had an honorable place in Biblical society, and that Matthew left clues in his narrative Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus Mary was a prostitute. Brown details facts from his research that coloured his interpretations, such as that feet was used as a euphemism for "penis". He also tells of where he used artistic license in his retellings, and of errors he made, such as depicting coins at a time when coins had not yet come into use.

Hardcover List Price: He plumbs the mysteries of her depths while she schools him in the ways of love. A work of passion, research, and elegant clarity. My new favourite. Chester shows that spirituality and sexuality, which are so often depicted in our culture as opposed to one another, are actually deeply intertwined. The iconoclastic and bestselling cartoonist of Paying for It: A comic-strip memoir about being a john and Louis Riel returns and with a polemical interpretation of the Bible that will be one of the most controversial Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus talked-about graphic novels of Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus is the retelling in comics form of nine biblical stories that present Chester Brown's fascinating and startling thesis about biblical representations of prostitution. He reassesses the Christian moral code by examining the cultural implications of the Bible's representations of sex work. Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus is a fitting follow-up to Brown's sui generis graphic Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus Paying for Itwhich was reviewed twice in The New York Times and hailed by sex workers for Brown's advocacy for the decriminalization and normalization of prostitution. Brown approaches the Bible as he did the life of Louis Riel, making these stories compellingly readable and utterly pertinent to a modern audience. In classic Chester Brown fashion, he provides extensive handwritten endnotes that delve into the biblical lore that informs Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesu s. But Brown zeros in on the human drama in each story Though he tells familiar stories, Brown often pushes them in surprising—and sometimes even shocking—directions Brown defends [his] conclusion[s] in a series of lengthy exegetical endnotes that capture both the scope of his inquiries and the shape of his own fascinations. That Brown is an excellent artist is a given, but the research and documentation here is scholarly and insightful. In a way, the year-old Brown has been building toward this book, which combines a Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus interest in Christian theology and sex-work advocacy, his entire career. Chester Brown was born in Montreal in and is best known for his two recent nonfiction graphic novels: the meticulously researched and Harvey Award-winning Louis Riel and the controversial, critically acclaimed Paying for It. Brown lives in Toronto, where he ran for Parliament twice as a member of the Libertarian Party of Canada. Buy at Local Store Enter your zip code below to purchase from an indie close to you. Chester Brown Goes Biblical in "Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus" Chester Brown redefined the comic book biography with "Louis Riel. Detailed research into the roots and earliest known translations of the stories fuels Brown's unique reading of these tales -- that Jesus Christ accepted prostitution as a legitimate profession. Copious appendices offer readers detailed insight into his logic, as well as the ancient textual roots of each creative choice. CBR News spoke with Brown about how his latest project fits in with his own Christian beliefs, and the research involved in reinterpreting the Biblical stories presented in "Mary Wept. Chester Brown: I'm definitely religious -- I believe there's a God of some sort. If I was forced to use one word to categorize myself religiously, I'd say I'm a Christian. I was raised as a Christian, and it's still the belief tradition Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus I'm closest to, but since I don't think Jesus Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus divine, there are probably Christians who wouldn't accept me as a fellow Christian. It was published inand even then it would have been an obscure book by an unknown biblical scholar, but it was my first encounter with serious biblical analysis, and I was fascinated. I immediately began searching for similar books and reading the Bible. I already had a pretty good grounding in the subject because my mother regularly read Bible stories to me and my brother when we were children. Anyway, that fascination with the Good Book has stayed with me sinceand I've continued to read about it. Your notes on this book are incredible, and nearly as long as the comics themselves. For readers who've not had the chance to see it yet, how did the idea of retelling all the accounts of prostitution or sex work in the Bible evolve for you? First, I should make it clear that I'm not retelling all of the stories about prostitution in the Bible -- just the ones that relate to a few points I'm trying to make. Ancient genealogies rarely included women. All five women either had been or were rumored to have been involved in some sort of sexual impropriety. Why does Matthew emphasize sexual impropriety in his genealogy? Why, for example, does Matthew Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus the prostitute Rahab as an ancestor of Jesus? And why does Matthew not mention Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus, a woman who was not associated with any sort of questionable sexual activity and who was the mother of Reheboam? Reheboam is listed in the genealogy, so Naamah was an ancestor of Jesus in the same way that Rahab was. In other words, why are the "bad" women or the women who were rumored to have been "bad" listed, but not the "good" women? Why are women like Rahab in the genealogy, but not women like Naamah? Schaberg gave an explanation, which I ultimately found unsatisfactory. I came up with a different theory. I'd never heard of this alternate version -- it's not in the Bible. It seemed to me that this version of The Talents confirmed what I'd been thinking about the genealogy in Matthew. Even at a cursory reading of these stories, it's most interesting that none of the women who engage in what many today might call immoral sexual conduct suffer any terrible fates. That seems to support your reading, doesn't it? Not necessarily. For instance, David's transgression with Bathsheba results in what is essentially a murder. And Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus adultery and murder in that story lead to a larger tragedy that I didn't draw. While those men usually disapproved of women engaging in non-marital sex, they weren't writing simple morality stories, so there are instances where individual "sinners" seem to escape negative repercussions. One shouldn't mistake that for approval of "sin. We should note that, based on your research, you have your own theories about certain Biblical characters and tales. However, all the theories presented here are not solely yours. What were the major Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus that led to your interpretations? I've already mentioned the two significant scholars who inspired the book, Jane Schaberg who died back in and John Dominic Crossan. I don't know how much of "Mary Wept" they'd agree with -- perhaps none of it. Writers Cynthia Bourgeault, Jim Marion Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus Paul Smith gave me framework for understanding Jesus from a different perspective, which made it possible for me to imagine that he might have approved of prostitution although none of them say that.

  • Eschatology and the Technological Future
    Eschatology and the Technological Future This book offers an insightful and timely analysis of key theorists and ideas in the intersection between theology and technology. From the religiously inspired technological optimism of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Nikolai Fedorov, to the darker technological pessimism of Jacques Ellul, the contributions of Christian theorists to under- standing the technological milieu can offer us fresh perspectives on some intractable problems of modern life. As Burdett clearly shows, technological optimism and utopianism have religious roots, and a technological culture that ignores its own roots is in danger not only of environmental devastation, but also existential and spiritual despair. A fi ne book at a critical time. — David Lewin, Liverpool Hope University, UK The rapid advancement of technology has led to an explosion of speculative theories about what the future of humankind may look like. These “tech- nological futurisms” from the fi elds of nanotechnology, biotechnology and information technology are drawing growing scrutiny from the philosophi- cal and theological communities. This text seeks to contextualize the grow- ing literature on the cultural, philosophical and religious implications of technological advancement by considering technological futurisms such as transhumanism in the context of the long historical tradition of technologi- cal dreaming. Michael Burdett traces the latent religious sources of our con- temporary technological imagination by looking at visionary approaches to technology and the future in seminal technological utopias and sci- ence fi ction and draws on past theological responses to the technological future with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Jacques Ellul. Burdett’s argu- ment arrives at a contemporary Christian response to transhumanism based around the themes of possibility and promise by turning to the works of Richard Kearney, Eberhard Jüngel and Jürgen Moltmann.

  • Canadian Comic Books at Library and Archives Canada1 Meaghan Scanlon
    Canadian Comic Books at Library and Archives Canada1 Meaghan Scanlon Abstract Library and Archives Canada (LAC) has what is likely the largest collection of Canadian comic books in a Canadian library. LAC’s collection has three distinct parts: comics acquired via legal deposit, the John Bell Collection of Canadian Comic Books, and the Bell Features Collection. These holdings, which span the history of the comics medium in Canada, represent a significant resource for researchers studying Canadian comics. This article looks at each of the three main parts of LAC’s comic book collection, giving an overview of the contents of each part, and providing information on how researchers can discover and access these comics. The article also briefly explores other comics-related holdings at LAC. Its purpose is to provide a starting point for researchers seeking to make use of LAC’s comic book collections. Résumé Bibliothèque et Archives Canada (BAC) recèle ce qui constitue vraisemblablement la plus vaste collection de bandes dessinées canadiennes dans une bibliothèque canadienne. La collection de BAC comporte trois parties distinctes: les bandes dessinées acquises grâce au dépôt légal, la collection de bandes dessinées canadiennes de John Bell et la collection Bell Features. Ce fonds documentaire, qui couvre l’histoire du médium bandes dessinées, représente une ressource importante pour les chercheurs qui étudient les bandes dessinées 1 This article draws on research I have previously presented in two conference papers: “Drawn Across the Border: Canadian Comic Books at Library and Archives Canada,” Canadian Association for the Study of Book Culture, Brock University, St. Catharines, ON, May 27, 2014, and “‘Written, Drawn, and Printed in Canada—by Canadians!’: Bell Features, CanCon, and the Perception of Comics in Postwar Canada,” Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing, Montreal, QC, July 10, 2015.

Words + Pictures: A Manifesto Abstract In the second decade of the 21st century, academic comics studies is well established as a serious intellectual subject, but for many non-specialists, including university administrators, a sense of frivolity still attaches to comics. This brief essay braids together personal history and intellectual analysis: 1) it compares the cultural position of comics today to the position of novels in the 19th century; 2) it analyzes the complementary nature of the verbal and visual channels; 3) it argues that neither words nor pictures should be considered primary in a narratology of comics; and 4) that comics are eminently well suited to be studied as a branch of literature (though fine arts departments can also stake a claim).

There's even a sex class structure at work here, defined by position, both sexual and in society. But nothing like Black Kiss 2. Make no mistake, the original "Black Kiss" is offensive on every level from womanizing, to child murder, priest rape, necrophilia, sneaky hermaphrodites and everything else under the sun -- yet somehow Chaykin makes it all work in this psycho-sexual setting, pinning each vice and desire squarely on his characters shoulders, giving the reader an outlet for their twistedness -- but here it comes dangerously close to being crass for crass' sake. But between some decent revelations and a bit of a twist this issue squeaks by with a light recommendation. It gets repetitive after a while.
