Leaving Jesus

release date: Nov 08, 2011
Leaving Jesus
Everyone knows that Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Is it possible that they have misunderstood the entire concept of the Messiah and his function in God''s spiritual economy? Passages such as Isaiah 53 and Zechariah 13 are viewed as messianic by the Church but has the Church misused them to point to a confused portrait of a man that shouldn''t have applied for the position? Is the New Testament an accurate picture of the events surrounding the times of Jesus or, is it fiction? As a former Christian of 25 years and son of a Southern Baptist minister, James entered a Messianic Jewish congregation to experience the teachings of the Messianic movement. Convinced something was terribly wrong, he left the movement and started studying to find the truth. After five years of intensive study and much prayer, James reveals in simple language how Christians have been lead down a path paved with deceit and contradictions.

Como funciona a ficção
Notabilizado por seus ensaios na revista The New Yorker e professor de crítica literária na Universidade de Harvard, Wood aborda, numa prosa inteligente e aguçada, os mecanismos, procedimentos e efeitos da construção narrativa. A representação do real na literatura é o eixo central de Wood, que questiona os limites entre artifício e verossimilhança na ficção. Em dez capítulos, elementos fundamentais do texto ficcional são discutidos pelo autor: o personagem, o foco narrativo , o estilo. A partir de vasto e diversificado repertório literário - de Henry James e Flaubert, de Tchékhov e Nabókov a Beatrix Potter e John le Carré -, este livro "perspicaz e cheio de achados", nas palavras de Milton Hatoum, traz análises reveladoras e acessíveis mesmo àqueles que desconhecem os rudimentos da crítica literária. Referência fundamental para escritores em formação, professores de literatura, e todos que se interessam pelo mundo das letras.

Los mecanismos de la ficción
Un brillante estudio sobre la magia de la novela y una celebración por su poder duradero, de la mano de James Wood, uno de los grandes críticos contemporáneos. Uno de los críticos más destacados y elegantes de nuestro tiempo analiza la maquinaria de contar historias para plantearse algunas preguntas fundamentales: ¿Qué queremos decir cuando decimos que «conocemos» a un personaje de ficción? ¿Qué detalles son reveladores? ¿Cuándo funciona una metáfora? ¿Es el realismo realista? ¿Por qué algunas convenciones literarias quedan obsoletas mientras que otras se mantienen frescas? De Homero a Beatrix Potter, de la Biblia a John le Carré, este libro es a la vez un estudio de las técnicas de la ficción y una historia alternativa de la novela. Ameno y profundo, Cómo funciona la ficción es un libro esencial para escritores, lectores y, sencillamente, cualquier persona interesada en lo que sucede en una página. Reseñas: «El entusiasmo de Wood es glorioso. Una delicia. El placer en este libro radica en ver leer a Wood.» Time «Un ensayo perspicaz y elegante que toda persona interesada en los libros debería leer. Merece mucho la pena.» The Sunday Times «Este absorbente ensayo muestra la profundidad, sensibilidad, imaginación y alegría con que James Wood lee.» Scotland on Sunday «Luminoso. Repleto de observaciones de gran calidad provenientes de alguien que trabaja en primera línea.» D.J. Taylor, Independent on Sunday «Cautivador. Astuto, conciso y con un encantador toque de ligereza.» The Economist

A coisa mais próxima da vida
Com título inspirado na citação sobre arte de George Eliot, os ensaios de James Wood neste livro buscam identificar e comentar as relações entre a literatura e a realidade. Diferente de como funciona a ficção, em que se detém no realismo, aqui Wood divaga sobre religião, morte, exílio, detalhe, a importância das coisas e descreve como a literatura perpassa todas essas temáticas com sua experiência necessária. Os quatro ensaios presentes no livro não são capítulos contínuos, mas se entrelaçam pela coerência do pensamento deste que é um dos mais importantes críticos literários contemporâneos.

Lo más parecido a la vida
James Wood, uno de los grandes críticos literarios contemporáneos, revela su íntima relación con la palabra escrita en este luminoso ensayo. Leer Lo más parecido a la vida es asistir a una clase magistral impartida por James Wood, uno de los grandes críticos literarios americanos de nuestro tiempo. Para él, de entre todas las artes, la ficción tiene una capacidad única a la hora de describir la textura de nuestras vidas y rescatarla de la muerte y el olvido histórico. A partir de discusiones brillantes con grandes obras literarias como El beso de Chéjov, Los emigrados de Sebald y La flor azul de Penelope Fitzgerald entre otras, Wood nos transmite su comprensión del acto de leer como la más sagrada y personal de las actividades. Lo más parecido a la vida es el libro más personal de James Wood, que huyó de la rigidez académica para mostrarnos la conexión de la literatura con la vida. Es un luminoso ensayo y una invitación a reconsiderar lo que está en juego cuando leemos y escribimos ficción, que entusiasmará a lectores de Muriel Spark, Nabokov, Saramago, Naipaul, W.G. Sebald, Thomas Bernhard, Javier Marías, Danilo Kis, Ian McEwan, Penelope Fitzgerald, Alice Munro o Zadie Smith. Reseñas: «Excelente: perspicaz y sensible, una combinación muy poco frecuente en el mundo de la crítica.» Sunday Times «Breve pero fascinante.» The Independent «Un libro breve pero delicioso.» Laurence Scott, Financial Times « Lo más parecido a la vida demuestra que, ya sea recorridos cortos o largos, la de Wood es una voz que vale la pena escuchar.» Forbes «Un libro de gran riqueza expresiva. Un virtuoso despliegue de pasión e ingenio.» Publishers Weekly «Este libro, de una sosegada sofisticación, es iluminador y revelador en lo que al propio Wood se refiere.» Newsweek «La mente de Wood es como un recipiente en el que se guardan los tesoros de la literatura que deben protegerse del paso del tiempo. Pero el tesoro no es meramente estético: los libros son cajas de seguridad para el afecto humano, como urnas que contienen palabras en lugar de cenizas.» Peter Conrad, The Guardian

La cosa più vicina alla vita

La cosa più vicina alla vita
Di tutte le arti, scrive James Wood, uno dei più importanti critici letterari del nostro tempo, solo la narrativa possiede la capacità straordinaria di delineare la forma delle nostre vite e di salvarne la trama dalla morte e dall''oblio storico. L''atto di leggere è quindi la più sacra e personale delle attività, capace di creare legami sempre diversi tra realtà e letteratura. In questo saggio, che mescola sapientemente critica letteraria e ricordi autobiografici, Wood ripercorre la sua formazione di ragazzo inglese cresciuto in provincia, in un fervente contesto religioso, e la gioia segreta delle letture d''infanzia intrecciando i suoi ricordi con un''analisi intensa e originale del Fiore azzurro di Penelope Fitzgerald; condivide episodi del suo passato, che, attraverso le trasformazioni operate dalla memoria, esplodono in frammenti indipendenti e diventano entità a se stanti, dal valore universale, come nel racconto di Cechov Un bacio; riconosce nella nostalgia per la sua terra, la Gran Bretagna, lasciata oltre vent''anni fa per gli Stati Uniti, i sentimenti suscitati dall''esilio e dall''erraticità che emergono dal romanzo Gli emigrati di W.G. Sebald. La cosa più vicina alla vita è una fusione perfetta di critica letteraria e autobiografia, una lezione magistrale sui legami che intercorrono tra vita e libri, un racconto personale che incarna la feconda cospirazione tra lettore e scrittore - e critico - e che ci invita a riconsiderare tutto quello che entra in gioco quando leggiamo un romanzo.

Disruptive Grace - God's Grace for the Good Life
1 John 4:17 says, “As Jesus is so are we in this world.” If you were to stop and ponder what Jesus is like right now, how would you stack up against the results? Jesus is not broke, depressed, sick, or living in any sort of want. When you became a Christian (a believer) you not only took on the faith of the Son of God, but you also became a joint heir and a son. The benefits of salvation go far beyond eternal life spent in Heaven. The benefits of salvation stretch throughout all areas of our lives. So why is it that not all Christians are living in victory?The answer to the question is found within the pages of what you are about to read among many additional answers as well as methods and advice that will allow you to walk in victory like you have never known before. God has a disruptive plan for your life so turn the page and open the door to a future that is better than anything you could have ever made happen on your own!
