Book Cover for: Ulysses, James Joyce

Ulysses

James Joyce
Brian ZahndBrian Zahnd

@thegreginator @CharChristian It’s a wild ride for sure, but it’s not rambling. There’s a genius at work behind it all — though it’s as difficult to access as Joyce’s “Ulysses.”

Book Cover for: The Gospel, John The Evangelist

The Gospel

John The Evangelist
Brian ZahndBrian Zahnd

The Gospel of John decidedly and deliberately differs from Matthew, Mark, and Luke. John the Evangelist wants to give us a theological Gospel containing the highest possible Christology. In his opening sentence John tells us that this one who is the Word of God is fully divine. https://t.co/2wun0RsKe6

Prophetic Imagination: 40th Anniversary Edition

Walter Brueggemann
Brian ZahndBrian Zahnd

How deeply a book impacts us has a lot to do with when/where we read it. The most influential works of biblical scholarship for me have been: The Prophetic Imagination ~ Walter Brueggemann Jesus and the Victory of God ~ N.T. Wright I read them 16/14 years ago, both in Israel. https://t.co/TjzLCRLHaN

Fyodor Dostoevsky

I’ve read Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “The Brothers Karamazov” four times (and parts of it dozens of times). Today I finished listening to David McDuff’s translation narrated by Luke Thompson. 💯👍🏼 “Hurrah for Karamazov!”

The Gospel

St Luke
Brian ZahndBrian Zahnd

The Gospel reading for this Sunday is Luke's account of the Gerasene demonic. I'll preach from that text and my sermon will simply be called... DEMONS Will I draw heavily upon "Demons" by Fyodor Dostoevsky? Does the sun rise in the east? (That book changed my life in 2004.) https://t.co/jRRqbBT8DI
