The Gospel of Mary
The success of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code has raised new interest in Mary Magdalene and in the Gospel of Mary. Here, the author examines Mary Magdalene's influence on the beginnings of Christianity and asks what was her impact and her message? And furthermore, what became of her and her ideas? Esther de Boer studies the Gospel of Mary (the only Gospel to be named after a woman) to discover what it reveals about Mary Magdalene and to determine the origin of its portrayal. She argues that the Gospel of Mary is not a Gnostic writing but is more closely related to the writings of Philo, the letters of Paul and the Gospel of John. She demonstrates that esteem of Mary Magdalene did not just belong ...
Mary Magdalene
"Much has been written about Mary Magdalene over the years, mostly about who she was not. Who really was Mary Magdalene?" "The living woman behind the image is still too little known, and Esther de Boer here attempts to fill this gap. Examining not only the Gospel texts and texts from the church fathers, but also texts discovered in the Egyptian desert during the last century that were not contained in the church's tradition (not the least of which is the Gospel of Mary), de Boer presents a vivid, fascinating, and attractive picture of Mary of Magdala - disciple, apostle, and human being."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Esther de Boer-van Rijk
Esther de Boer-van Rijk werd beroemd als vertolkster van Kniertje in Herman Heijermans toneelstuk Op hoop van zegen. Het stuk werd meer dan duizend keer gespeeld, overal in Nederland en in het buitenland. Maar in de ruim zestig jaar dat Esther de Boer op het toneel stond, speelde ze honderden andere rollen, waarmee ze de lieveling werd van het toneelpubliek. Toen ze in 1937 werd begraven, stonden duizenden mensen langs de route van de begrafenisstoet om haar de laatste eer te bewijzen. Joosje Lakmaker vertelt het fascinerende levensverhaal van een meisje uit een armoedig orthodox-joods gezin in Rotterdam dat zich ontwikkelde tot de belangrijkste joodse actrice in Nederland. Tegelijkertijd schetst zij het beeld van het acteursbestaan in een tijd zonder toneelsubsidie, met voorstellingen in kermistenten, tochtige kleedkamers en eindeloos veel reizen per koets, trein of binnenschip. En het is het verhaal van Esthers turbulente verhouding met Hollands beroemdste toneelschrijver, Herman Heijermans.
Heritage Futures
Preservation of natural and cultural heritage is often said to be something that is done for the future, or on behalf of future generations, but the precise relationship of such practices to the future is rarely reflected upon. Heritage Futures draws on research undertaken over four years by an interdisciplinary, international team of 16 researchers and more than 25 partner organisations to explore the role of heritage and heritage-like practices in building future worlds. Engaging broad themes such as diversity, transformation, profusion and uncertainty, Heritage Futures aims to understand how a range of conservation and preservation practices across a number of countries assemble and resource different kinds of futures, and the possibilities that emerge from such collaborative research for alternative approaches to heritage in the Anthropocene. Case studies include the cryopreservation of endangered DNA in frozen zoos, nuclear waste management, seed biobanking, landscape rewilding, social history collecting, space messaging, endangered language documentation, built and natural heritage management, domestic keeping and discarding practices, and world heritage site management.

Reconsidering National Plays in Europe
This volume frames the concept of a national play. By analysing a number of European case studies, it addresses the following question: Which play could be regarded as a country's national play, and how does it represent its national identity? The chapters provide an in-depth look at plays in eight different countries: Germany (Die Räuber, Friedrich Schiller), Switzerland (Wilhelm Tell, Friedrich Schiller), Hungary (Bánk Bán, József Katona), Sweden (Gustav Vasa, August Strindberg), Norway (Peer Gynt, Henrik Ibsen), the Netherlands (The Good Hope, Herman Heijermans), France (Tartuffe, Molière), and Ireland. This collection is especially relevant at a time of socio-political flux, when national identity and the future of the nation state is being reconsidered.
