| Double Take is about the adventure of learning new
things in our study of the Bible. It is not so much a book of method as
a book of examples. But from beginning to end, its aim is to help
readers reflect on what opens up the message of Scripture for the
curious reader. And from beginning to end, to help readers discover
that new insights are a wonderful blessing: sometimes they bring new
truths to light that would otherwise remain hidden from us; sometimes
they solve a puzzle in a text that has genuinely bothered us; sometimes
they help us understand why our experiences do not match what we
thought a text was teaching. Copyright 2007 Kindred Productions | |

| What are the roots of human violence? Many theses seek to explain
societal rivalry, injustice, and scapegoating. Perhaps none is more
thorough or persuasive than Rene Girard's. Yet do his theories on
imitation, rivalry, violence, sacrifice, and religion find support in
Scripture? These scholarly essays engage this question at multiple
levels. Especially Girard's theories on sacrifice and imitation are
critically examined in these significant contributions to Girardian
scholarship which culminate in a response by Girard himself.
Addressed as well in Violence Renounced are kingship and servanthood,
the relation between the Testaments on sacrifice and atonement, and
such basic themes as the human primal nature, the shape of new creation
in Jewish and Christian reality, and feminist perspectives on Girardian
theory. Also seen in new light are standard beliefs and doctrines on
atonement, who/what killed Jesus, and how peace is to be rightly
achieved. Copyright 2000. | |

Devotional
| Neither commentary nor traditional meditations, Eby's Markings
are a spiritual memoir. His musings on 70 episodes or texts in the
Gospel of Mark blend intellectual inquiry with confessional worship.
They meld poignancy, whimsy, grit, doubt, sorrow, and inspiration.
Anyone attending to the care of her or his soul will find nurture here.
Eby's project from the practice of old spiritual disciplines: Bible
Study, meditation, prayer, contemplation, silence, writing. Using the
Gospel of Mark for his own Markings, Eby explored the Gospel through
the grid of his forty years teaching literature at the college level,
reading and writing, listening to music, walking in the orchard and
woods, living in Africa, heeding one wise woman, rearing children,
stumbling towards God. Then, under the influence of a given text and
personal memory, he sat down and wrote, yielding these personal musings
on a spare but elegant Gospel. | |
