Items related to Corn & Ivy: Spiritual Reading in Ruth and Jonah
Synopsis
Denise and John Carmody here provide a unique, personal, and reflective commentary on the biblical books of Ruth (gleaner of "corn") and Jonah (shaded by "ivy"). While drawing on solid biblical scholarship, the authors' principal aim is to invite readers to take these biblical books to heart - to meditate on them personally - thus exemplifying how believers might read any books of the Bible with the assumptions of faith and for personal nourishment.
For the book of Ruth, feminist issues beg for treatment; for the book of Jonah, the matter of election (the fate of Israel over against God's provision for the gentiles) leaps out at present day readers. Both books place before the readers the theme of divine providence. Finally, because of the authors' own existential situation, both books have been read in part for what they say about death - ultimate wisdom.

The Beloved Disciple: Whose Witness Validates the Gospel of John
Seller: Powell's Bookstores Chicago, ABAA, Chicago, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: NEW. Dust Jacket Condition: NEW. First Edition. The Gospel of John refers five times to "the disciple whom Jesus loved." From the second through the present century, scholars have sought to identify this "disciple," traditionally concluding that he is the author of the Gospel and is indeed none other than John the son of Zebedee. In recent phases of research, however, the identification of the Beloved Disciple with John the son of Zebedee has been exposed as weak and unpersuasive. Yet, according to James Charlesworth, even this new research is problematic in that it tends to ascribe priority in discerning the meaning of the Gospel of John to documents other than the Gospel itself. Moreover, this research tends to impute historical accuracy to documents that were not primarily intended to present histories. Based on extensive research, then, Professor Charlesworth has concluded that the primary texts in the Gospel of John and the reflections of modern scholars indicate that any identification of the Beloved Disciple - whether with one of the disciples specified in the Gospel, with one who is anonymous in this Gospel, or with some symbolic theme - must provide credible answers to eight questions.
