Webster Ira Brent Driggers Barton College Pfeiffer University Wilson, North Carolina Misenheimer, North Carolina -vii- Introduction Mark Roncace and Patrick Gray Relatively few resources offer specific, innovative ideas for teaching par- ticular texts and topics in courses devoted to the Bible. In our own effort to provide such a resource (Teaching the Bible: Practical Strategies for Classroom Instruction [SBLRBS 49; Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2005]), we drew on the expertise and experience of nearly one hundred college, university, and seminary professors. One trend that came to our attention in the process of editing that collection is the increasing use of various nonbiblical media— music, film, art, and literature—in biblical studies classrooms. The present volume, which focuses on the incorporation of popular culture and the arts, is thus a supplement to our first volume. Both works assume an academic approach to the Bible but represent a wide range of methodological, theologi- cal, and ideological perspectives. The primary objective of each is to present an eclectic compendium of engaging classroom strategies for teaching the Bible in undergraduate, seminary, church, and synagogue settings. Whereas the first volume is organized according to the standard divisions of the Jewish and Christian canons, this volume features chapters devoted to the various media that serve as intertexts for study alongside the biblical writings. Each section includes an introduction surveying the ways in which the Bible intersects with works in a given medium and highlighting common pedagogical objectives well-suited to that medium. Concluding the intro- ductory essays are bibliographies listing general studies, anthologies, and secondary literature cited in the discussions of particular works in the subse- quent chapters. Part 1 (“Music”): one chapter discusses classroom strategies for use with several dozen examples of popular music; a second chapter considers a selection of classical compositions. Part 2 (“Film”): one chapter examines renderings of biblical narrative into film (so-called “sword and sandal” movies); a second chapter con- siders Hollywood releases bearing less explicit connections to the Bible -- teaching the bible and the ways in which particular scenes may be employed in the class- room. Part 3 (“Art”): one chapter discusses works of art that depict scenes and characters from the Bible; a second chapter examines works that gener- ate conversation about a variety of concepts arising in biblical studies courses, despite the fact that the artists make no attempt at representing subjects typically considered “biblical.” Part 4 (“Literature”): one chapter explores the heuristic uses of poetry with direct or indirect links to biblical themes; a second chapter discusses the pedagogical potential of a smaller sampling of prose excerpts (fiction and nonfiction). Part 5 (“Other Media”): a final chapter briefly introduces material such as comic strips, the Internet, and television programs, resources for biblical studies courses that have until recently remained largely untapped. Each chapter consists of a catalogue of entries focusing on one or more literary, cinematic, artistic, or musical works. Entries concisely lay out specific strategies for deploying these works in classroom settings or related assign- ments. While the introductions outline generic sets of questions that could be applied, say, to any artistic image or musical composition, individual entries briefly describe and include discussion questions or exercises tailored to the particular works under consideration. Although the chapters do not function as primers in the technical skills of literary or film criticism, there is sufficient background for enhancing one’s teaching repertoire through the integration of the diverse materials surveyed in the following pages.

We do not confine ourselves to the work of English students, nor are we at pains to be littered with the Illustrious Dead and Dying. Our claim has been one of uncompromising independence: therefore not a line in these pages has been written by any but degreeless students or young graduates. It has been our object to gather all and none but the not yet ripe fruits of art, science and philosophy in the university. We did not wish so much that our articles should be sober and guarded as that they should be stimulating and lively and take up a strong line. We were prepared in fact to give ourselves away. But we know that Cambridge is painfully well-balanced just now (a sign, perhaps of anxiety neurosis) and so we were prepared also to find, as the reader will find, rather too guarded and sensible a daring. Perhaps we will ripen into extravagance. Contributions for the second number should be send to W. Empson of Magdalene College. We five are acting on behalf of the contributors, who have entrusted us with this part of the work.

This theme has several meanings. In particular, we will draw attention to the Gulf of Mexico–Caribbean, and the surrounding T American continents, bridging the knowledge gap that exists across a region divided by polit- ical boundaries and language but sharing a common geologic framework. Bridging the Gulf also addresses the need to develop a closer link between technology and the science of geology and to educate the public on issues critical to the development of intelligent policies on the environment and geologic hazards. We also hope to bridge the gulf between the past and the future with both a retrospection on the past 25 years of plate tectonics and a look at the future as geology responds to society’s needs. Finally, we view the city of New Orleans, the Mississippi River and its delta, and the Gulf Coast as a laboratory where the long- term effects of humans on the environment can be examined. NEW ORLEANS: The Crescent City–New Orleans is nestled on the inside of a south-looping meander of the Mississippi River.

  • Film Reviews
    Page 117 FILM REVIEWS Year of the Remake: The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man Jenny McDonnell The current trend for remakes of 1970s horror movies continued throughout 2006, with the release on 6 June of John Moore’s The Omen 666 (a scene­for­scene reconstruction of Richard Donner’s 1976 The Omen) and the release on 1 September of Neil LaBute’s The Wicker Man (a re­imagining of Robin Hardy’s 1973 film of the same name). In addition, audiences were treated to remakes of The Hills Have Eyes, Black Christmas (due Christmas 2006) and When a Stranger Calls (a film that had previously been ‘remade’ as the opening sequence of Scream). Finally, there was Pulse, a remake of the Japanese film Kairo, and another addition to the body of remakes of non­English language horror films such as The Ring, The Grudge and Dark Water. Unsurprisingly, this slew of remakes has raised eyebrows and questions alike about Hollywood’s apparent inability to produce innovative material. As the remakes have mounted in recent years, from Planet of the Apes to King Kong, the cries have grown ever louder: Hollywood, it would appear, has run out of fresh ideas and has contributed to its ever­growing bank balance by quarrying the classics. Amid these accusations of Hollywood’s imaginative and moral bankruptcy to commercial ends in tampering with the films on which generations of cinephiles have been reared, it can prove difficult to keep a level head when viewing films like The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man.

CampbellDr. Hand has written an extraordinary book. Neither shrill, simplistic, nor a stalking horse for partisan politics, her clear, vivid prose presents solid scientific bases for understanding the anthropological origins of war and its outmoded but seeming irresistible attraction to the human species. She’s gathered, organized, and synthesized decades of study and writing in this field. Dr. Hand then proceeds to outline a multi-dimensional but definitely doable strategy for ending war on this planet— in what could be the last clear chance our nuclear civilization has to avoid self-annihilation.

  • Unit-1 T. S. Eliot : Religious Poems
    UNIT-1 T. S. ELIOT : RELIGIOUS POEMS Structure 1.0 Objectives 1.1 Introduction 1.2 ‘A Song for Simeon’ 1.3 ‘Marina’ 1.4 Let us sum up 1.5 Review Questions 1.6 A Select Bibliography 1.0 Objectives The present unit aims at acquainting you with some of T.S. Eliot’s poems written after his confirmation into the Anglo-Catholic Church of England in 1927. With this end in view, this unit takes up a close reading of two of his ‘Ariel Poems’ and focuses on some traits of his religious poetry. 1.1 Introduction Thomas Stearns Eliot was born on 26th September, 1888 at St. Louis, Missouri, an industrial city in the center of the U.S.A. He was the seventh and youngest child of Henry Ware Eliot and Charlotte Champe Stearns. He enjoyed a long life span of more than seventy-five years. His period of active literary production extended over a period of forty-five years. Eliot’s Calvinist (Puritan Christian) ancestors on father’s side had migrated in 1667 from East Coker in Somersetshire, England to settle in a colony of New England on the eastern coast of North America. His grandfather, W.G. Eliot, moved in 1834 from Boston to St. Louis where he established the first Unitarian Church. His deep academic interest led him to found Washington University there. He left behind him a number of religious writings. Eliot’s mother was an enthusiastic social worker as well as a writer of caliber. His family background shaped his poetic sensibility and contributed a lot to his development as a writer, especially as a religious poet.

    FREE NINE INCH NAILS PRETTY HATE MACHINE PDF Daphne Carr | 144 pages | 03 May 2011 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780826427892 | English | London, United Kingdom Nine Inch Nails - Wikipedia The album consists of reworked tracks from the Purest Feeling demo tape, as well as songs composed after its original recording. The album, which features a heavily synth-driven electronic sound blended with industrial and rock elements, bears little resemblance to the band's subsequent work. Conversely, much like the band's later Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine, the album's lyrics contain themes of angst, betrayal, and lovesickness. The record was promoted with the singles " Down in It ", " Head Like a Hole ", and " Sin ", as well as the accompanying tour. A remastered edition was released in Although the record was successful, reaching No. Pretty Hate Machine was later certified triple-platinum by RIAAbecoming one of the first independently released albums to do so, and was included on several lists of the best releases of the s.
