A Jewish-Buddhist love story and satire of modern religious mores during a Yom Kippur sermon.
Appel's hilarious novel follows three interfaith Jewish/Christian couples who unwittingly rent the ground floor of their brownstone to a charming Southern evangelist. Serving his own blend of Christian cuisine, he opens a restaurant in the space, hoping to convert the Jews of the Upper West Side. His scheme destroys the harmony of the building when one of his six landlords finds comfort in the preacher's conversion-by-gastronomy methods.Appel's mix of comedy and theology conjoin effortlessly in an entertaining, fast, and funny story which reevaluates our meanings of faith and marriage in twenty-first century America.Allen Appel is a novelist and playwright whose books include The Rabbi of Casino Boulevard and the anthology A Pocket Apocalypse: A Handy Guide to the End of the World. His work has appeared in The National Jewish Monthly and The Progressive. He lives in New York City.Also Available by Allan Appel: High Holiday SutraTP $13.95, 1-56689-065-9 * CUSA
Allan Appel has the rare ability to write comic novels about religion while being entirely respectful of people's traditions and feelings. And now he's written one about adolescence that is funny, poignant, and accessible, with characters readers will root for with glee. A kind of Romeo and Juliet tale (but with a whimsical rather than a tragic ending), all the hallmarks of a fast-paced, mainstream novel are here, yet Appel transcends the cliches with panache and has crafted a novel that just might take off like a roaring motorcycle.
"I can't think of many novels that . . . manage to be intelligent and sympathetic to not one but two oft-misunderstood American religions . . . Quite a feat." —Mark Oppenheimer, The New York TimesThe Book of Norman probes Mormon-Jewish relationships and traditions with humor and thoughtfulness. A sibling rivalry erupts between brothers Norman and Jon Gould, who compete for their dead father's soul in this wild theological ride set in southern California during the Summer of Love. Norman, a recent drop-out from the New York Jewish Seminary, wants to catch up on his generation's sex, love, and rock 'n' roll. Yet when his doper brother Jon gets a buzz cut, sells his stash, and becomes a Mormon-in- training, the battle is engaged. As the religious tug-of- war ensues, Norman tries to pull his brother back to Judaism while Jon tries to prove to Norman that Mormonism is the truer path. The struggle culminates in a monumental and hilarious game of basketball pitting Norman and two gorgeous Jewish angels, Tali and Aviva, against a Mormon team headed by Wes, the Elder, and his compatriots.Allan Appel, novelist and playwright, is the author of The Hebrew Tutor of Bel Air; High Holiday Sutra, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection; and The Rabbi of Casino Boulevard, a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. Raised in California and a longtime New Yorker, he lives in Connecticut, where he is a writer for the New Haven Independent.

The Appeal to Experience in the Christologies of Friedrich Schleiermacher and Karl Rahner
Allen G. Jorgenson
Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2007
sidottu
Despite its controversy, experience remains a perdurable category for contemporary theology. This book explores the appeal to experience in the Christologies of Friedrich Schleiermacher and Karl Rahner, two theologians often accused of reducing theology to anthropology by allowing apologetic concerns to dictate their method in their appeal to experience. This work demonstrates that both theologians develop their hermeneutics under the tutelage of theology even while using experience as a category by which to provide leverage in apprehending Jesus. Both the perils and possibilities of their Christologies are explored in preparation for an account of experience construed sacramentally.
Apple in the Grass: and twelve short stories
Allen Dark

nidottu
This novella, Apple in the Grass, and collection of twelve short stories provide a variety of philosophical, amusing and serious tales in which path-finding people at various stages of life venture beyond their familiar spheres and pursue new adventures, ambitions and lifestyles. Their experiences are often thought-evoking and range from laughable to disastrous. The stories take place during a time period beginning early in the Vietnam War era and extending through the early twenty-first century. While exercising personal freedom, and living with the eternal problem of balancing freedom with risks and order, our people meet and interact with people from other spheres of life, often people with controversial views, and stumble into places where they encounter the dark sides of industrialism, unregulated capitalism, military power, human adaptation, lifestyle destruction, and the unsustainable nature of most modern grades of civilization. Several of the stories drill into sophisticated problems with humorous dialog. Excerpts from several of the stories provide a sample of the flavor of this book: ..."How did you learn about the boat?" "An Okinawan that works at the fish market where I shop told me about it." "Sounds like a good source to me. A man that knows a lot about fish must know a lot about boats." Boat from Naha ....Deep in their hearts, most of the regulars believed that civilization could be blamed on women...Left on their own, men would naturally choose to be nomads, hunt and eat what they kill, cook over campfires, sleep in makeshift dens in the woods, bathe when they accidentally fall into water, and in the end they would starve to death in squalor if not clubbed to death sooner. That is the way it would be if not for women. Turkey Shoot ...Young people are especially vulnerable to popular ambitions in their society. That's because ideas are contagious and infectious like a virus, and the younger a person, the weaker is the immune system for rejecting ideas and the more prone is the person to infection. It probably has to do with limited exposure to bad ideas and the young person hasn't developed a mature immune system that's resistant to all new ideas. Apple in the Grass ...Leon said..."We shouldn't oversimplify and think in terms of civilized or not civilized. There are grades of civilization. I would define a high grade civilization as a sustainable one where man is not the greatest source of danger to man. In my opinion, man has never achieved a high grade civilization"...Apple in the Grass "I think perhaps there is a strong centripetal force that's behind the concentration and accumulation of so much wealth and so many people in this city," Trip said, "and that force comes from a vortex created by unregulated capitalism." Apple in the Grass ..."I hope the city buys that Johnson farm," Frank said. "Yeah, me too," Bob said. "That's good ground out there. Deep sand and level. It'll make a good cemetery." "Lot's of new space to dig in. I heard it's over a thousand acres"..."It'll fill up in no time the way things are going." Long Days Iron Oak was a small Texas town northeast of Austin. Fifty miles from the outward creeping edge of the growing metropolitan area, it was not in danger of being swallowed anytime soon...Tom and Eva moved to Iron Oak from the west side of Houston where they had lived in a very large house. They moved soon after they gave away five hundred million dollars...Life in Iron Oak

Why Social Justice Is Not Biblical Justice: An Urgent Appeal to Fellow Christians in a Time of Social Crisis

"Highly recommended "- Wayne Grudem, PhD, Distinguished Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary"I urge you to read and share this book immediately and widely "- Kelly Monroe Kullberg, author of Finding God Beyond Harvard: The Quest for Veritas"We have long needed a book like this. Every serious Christian-especially every pastor-should read and heed the wisdom it contains."- Tom Ascol, Senior pastor of Grace Baptist Church (Cape Coral, Florida), President of Founders Ministries"We are a wounded nation now, and Christians need to bind up wounds and not make new ones. Instead of scorning those who push for social justice, we should recognize that leftist ideologues have twisted the concept of social justice, and some Christians have naively gone along with the distortion. Scott Allen offers an alternative that's crucial to consider."- Marvin Olasky, Editor in chief of WORLD magazinePrepare yourself to defend the truth against the greatest worldview threat of our generation.In recent years, a set of ideas rooted in postmodernism and neo-Marxist critical theory have merged into a comprehensive worldview. Labeled "social justice" by its advocates, it has radically redefined the popular understanding of justice. It purports to value equality and diversity and to champion the cause of the oppressed.Yet far too many Christians have little knowledge of this ideology, and consequently, don't see the danger. Many evangelical leaders confuse ideological social justice with biblical justice. Of course, justice is a deeply biblical idea, but this new ideology is far from biblical.It is imperative that Christ-followers, tasked with blessing their nations, wake up to the danger, and carefully discern the difference between Biblical justice and its destructive counterfeit.This book aims to replace confusion with clarity by holding up the counterfeit worldview and the Biblical worldview side-by-side, showing how significantly they differ in their core presuppositions. It challenges Christians to not merely denounce the false worldview, but offer a better alternative-the incomparable Biblical worldview, which shapes cultures marked by genuine justice, mercy, forgiveness, social harmony, and human dignity.
