Laughter Among the Ruins
Contemporary, postmodern secularized society has largely abandoned the central religions narratives that helped people to deal with such basic questions as the meaning of life, the experience of transcendence, suffering. The issues, however, remain und thus the question: What stories do we tell today to help us process the suffering that we undergo? In this book the author looks at the stories that our contemporary society offers to deal with suffering. The general story the Christian tradition has told has often been interpreted as a comic one, one in which the hope of reconciliation and re-creation is expressed. But how does a secularized society deal with this issue? The author explores the works of four contemporary comic novelists: Iris Murdoch, John Irving, Cees Nooteboom, and Anne Tyler. He examines their worldviews as presented in their novels in order to understand how our secularized Western society deals with suffering. In the end he offers a critical evaluation of their views, acknowledging their strengths and points from which Christian theology can learn but also pointing out how differences from a Christian point of view.

Willem Jansen
When Willem Jansen's six children return home to attend his funeral, they must revisit their common past where they struggled to escape their father's unrelenting cruelty. But to their surprise, their father retains his grip on them, even in death. The stark lives Jansen ordained for them emerge once more: Bill, the reluctant business partner; Addie, the younger children's surrogate mother; John, the easygoing farmer whose humor masks his fear; Jennie, on her never-ending quest for her father's approval and love; Cate, the lost soul, invisible to Willem; and Danny, the rebel who learns too late that reconciliation is almost always possible. As the winds of change bring radio, motion pictures, the Depression, and World War II into the Jansen's lives, the family and the nation are altered forever. In this world of turmoil, it is the curse of their father that ultimately provides the now-grown children with their greatest and most enduring strength.
