199623894New York City NY: Simon & Schuster 1996. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket. New York City NY: Simon & Schuster 1996. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 496 pages. The author's book-length account on subject. David Denby's finest achievement. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions of which there are many. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents David Denby's "Great Books: My Adventures With Homer Rousseau Woolf And Other Indestructible Writers of The Western World". Brilliant Living Author re-enrolls in Columbia University's "core curriculum" course. In preserving the notion of the Western Canon it has been an unlikely focus of America's ideological "culture wars". "Celebrates his re-discovery and new appreciation of such authors as Homer Plato the Biblical writers Augustine Boccaccio Hegel Austen Marx Nietzsche and Virginia Woolf. Where other universities caved and revised or enlarged the canon Columbia's course has remained intact. Denby's intention as a writer and protagonist is to record the experience and personal impact of the course" Publisher's blurb. "Does a Great Books Canon exist This superb book suggests an answer. Denby the film critic of New Yorker Magazine returned to his alma mater after 30 years to re-take the courses grapple with the world's classics and regenerate his own lapsed reading habit. It is a heartening portrait of American education and a substantial enthralling read. The book's richest moments are when the mature Denby engages with the texts. Reading the tragedy of 'Oedipus Rex' he feels anxious recognizing the uncomfortable ironic truth: 'What we avoid we become' " Publishers Weekly. Among other mainstream non-academic writers only Michael Dirda comes to mind as unapologetically - therefore controversially - committed to the Western tradition at a time when it is under relentless assault from mind-less ideologues. It is easy to miss the real "lesson" of David Denby's nostalgic project: Serious reading is a lifelong engagement with books with the Great Books. In the end one pursues learning auto-didactically; being self-taught is unavoidable not just ideal or necessary. An absolute "must-have" title for David Denby collectors. This copy is very prominently neatly and beautifully signed dated very shortly after publication and inscribed in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "To Beth - Part of an obviously brilliant family. Best David Denby September 20 1996". It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. David Denby's handwriting is unusually elegant and beautiful. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know this is the only such signed publication-month dated and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and despite its imperfection one bump on lower back board corner is still in fine condition overall: Every single internal page is clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 0684809753. Simon & Schuster hardcover

B9780567711298Hardback. New. The Sanctuary Movement of the 1980s was a movement led by white religious liberals that housed Central Americans fleeing dictatorships supported by the United States government giving them a platform to speak about the situation in their countries of origin. This book focuses on the movement’s whiteness by centering the voices of recipients of sanctuary and taking their critiques seriously. The result is an account of the movement that focuses on the inherent the agential limitations of sanctuary and the struggles for agency by recipients. Using interviews with participants in the movement as well as auto-ethnographic research as the white pastor of a church in the New Sanctuary Movement the author situates sanctuary as a site for theological reflection on some of the most pressing issues facing the church today – the possibilities of testimony the Holy Spirit ecclesiology and mercy. In doing so the author proposes a new theoretical framework for thinking about practice by introducing readers to Judith Butler’s theories of subjectivation and arguing for ethnographically engaged theology that is able to think beyond virtue and excellence towards an understanding of fugitivity. hardcover
