Character Studies in the Fourth Gospel
Using various narrative approaches and methodologies, an international team of forty-four Johannine scholars here offers probing essays related to individual characters and group characters in the Gospel of John. These essays present fresh perspectives on characters who play a major role in the Gospel (Peter, Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman, Thomas, and many others), but they also examine characters who have never before been the focus of narrative analysis (the men of the Samaritan woman, the boy with the loaves and fishes, Barabbas, and more). Taken together, the essays shed new light on how complex and nuanced many of these characters are, even as they stand in the shadow of Jesus. Readers of this volume will be challenged to consider the Gospel of John anew.
DOL
DOL is a unique and gripping novel, both humorous and tragic. Lois Silverstein is an extraordinary writer: her incredible imaginative powers and vivid prose bring her troubled, complex characters to life in an unforgettable way. Thomas Rosbrow, Ph.D., Psychoanalyst, San Francisco Stunning. A bravura performance on family and abortion. Memorable and individualized characters, the time and place exact. Every page riveted me. I couldn’t put it down. Martha Gold, Sculptor, New York City Some authors make a character’s ethnicity or neuroses understandable by softening the character; Silverstein’s characters are who they are. Initially approaching them is difficult but once inside their differentness, you reap the reward. Frederick C. Coleman, M.D., Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, Madison, Wisconsin What impresses most about DOL is the unique and complex architecture that both carries the weight of the story and deepens characterization. Arnie Lesser is exceptionally well-drawn. Daniel J. Langton, QUERENCIA, San Francisco

The Roots of Dependency
"Richard White's study of the collapse into 'dependency' of three Native American subsistence economies represents the best kind of interdisciplinary effort. Here ideas and approaches from several fields--mainly anthropology, history, and ecology--are fruitfully combined in one inquiring mind closely focused on a related set of large, salient problems. . . . A very sophisticated study, a 'best read' in Indian history."--American Historical Review "The book is original, enlightening, and rewarding. It points the way to a holistic manner in which tribal histories and studies of Indian-white relations should be written in the future. It can be recommended to anyone interested in Indian affairs,...
