Let me begin with a personal recollection. It was given to me to hear those words again on September 28, 1994 during a pilgrimage celebration of the Eucharist in the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the Calvary Tomb of Jesus. One of the readings was taken then from St. Paul’s letter to Philippians about the kenosis and glorification of Christ (Ph 2:5-11). The words so well known resounded anew at that holy place in my ears with unusual strength and depth of their meaning. I accepted them with gratitude as an unexpected and challenging gift. They come again and again to my memory, disclosing their rich connotations and implications, not only christological but also pneumatological. The kenosis of Christ is closely connected with the kenosis of the Holy Spirit. Writing to a beloved community of Philippians the Apostle adopted, and perhaps modified an ancient, already existing hymn in praise of Christ. He made it a part of his own reflection on the mystery of the cross and resurrection. In this book I will be constantly returning to this biblical idea of Christ’s kenosis, applied and extended also to the person of God’s Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the kenotic Guide for a pilgrim people of God. Thus one can combine the two leading insights of kenosis and epiclesis. They will become guidelines in my research and will direct our reflections as the twofold central principle: the one kenotic, the other one epicletic. Kenosis means self-limitation and self resignation. Epiclesis is the invocation of the Holy Spirit to come down and transform our life. Therefore it is the eloquent expression of human cry for help, 1 Unless otherwise indicated the Holy Scripture of the New Testament is quoted from The Jerusalem Bible (JB, 1967) and the Old/First Testament from The Holy Bible.

The Christian hope finds in this way its support in the person of the divine Paráklētos, the Counselor and Comforter. Some countries neighboring Israel developed various mythologies which tried to explain the existence of evil in human history.

  • The Dramas of the Bible
    ^ THE DRAMAS OF THE BIBLE i I BY A. P. DRUCKER 'T^HE STATEMENT that there are dramas in the Bible will ^ probably surprise many of my readers. This surprise is due to various reasons. First of these is the widely prevailing idea that the drama originated in Greece, and that no other nation of antiquity cultivated it ; hence, of course, the Hebrews could boast of no such art. We hear on the other hand, the assertion repeatedly made that the Semites especially had no dramatic genius. i Now, the drama was by no means confined to the Greeks. We find it among the Hindus, where Vishnu is the hero of many old plays. ^ We find it also among the Chinese, where the Dragon-god is made the chief character of a drama in which he is represented as driving out the evil spirits from the dwellings of the godly.-" And the Japanese, too, have a drama, telling of the valiant achievements of their Sun- god.-i We thus see that the drama was not confined to the Greek ; on the other hand, not only do we encounter it among the semi-civilized peoples, but also among barbarians and savages, who, as soon as they attain to a religious consciousness, have their ceremonies in- corporated into dramatic performances.-^ The Indian war-dances, the snake- and other animal-dances, are known to all ; but these are really nothing more than dramatic presentations of religious cere- monies. The Australians had a drama long before the whites discoyered them.' They perform an historical drama to appease the gods for a murder committed in the neiehborhood when the killer is unknown.

While they also note the many irregularities in Abraham and Sarah’s familial relationships and activities, there has been no sustained attention to the combination of deviance and normativity that characterizes these narratives.

  • Culture and Anarchy
    CULTURE AND ANARCHY: AN ESSAY IN POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CRITICISM: BY MATTHEW ARNOLD. L 0 N D ON: SMITH, ELDER AND CO., 15, WATERLOO PLACE. 1869. [The right of Translation is reserved."] PREFACE. MY foremost design in writing this Preface is to address a word of exhortation to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. In the essay which follows, the reader will often find Bishop Wilson quoted. To me and to the members of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge his name and writings are still, no doubt, familiar; but.the world is fast going away from old-fashioned people of his sort, and I learnt with consternation lately from a brilliant and distinguished votary of the natural sciences, that he had never so much as heard of Bishop Wilson, and that he imagined me to have invented him. At a moment when the Courts of Law have just taken off the embargo from the recreative religion furnished on Sundays by my gifted acquaintance and others, and when St. Martin's Hall ( iv ) and the Alhambra will soon be beginning again to resound with their pulpit-eloquence, it distresses one to think that the new lights should not only have, in general, a very low opinion of the preachers of the old religion, but that they should have it without knowing the best that these preachers can do. And that they are in this case is owing in part, certainty, to the negligence of the Christian Knowledge Society. In old times they used to print and spread abroad Bishop Wilson's Maxims of Piety and Christianity; the copy of this work which I use is one of their publications, bearing their imprint, and bound in the well-known brown calf which they made familiar to our childhood ; but the date of my copy is 1812.

In doing so, it investigates the usefulness and accuracy of this very notion, proposing that of ‘post-Soviet neo-modernism’ instead. Common critical approaches to post-Soviet Russian literature as being postmodern are questioned through an examination of the concept of postmodernism in its interrelated historical, social, and philosophical dimensions, and of its utility and adequacy in the Russian cultural context. In addition, it is proposed that the humorous and grotesque nature of certain post-Soviet works can be viewed as a creatively critical engagement with both the past, i.e.
