Peter Lombard. 1

By: Marcia L. Colish

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The first general study of Peter Lombard (c. 1100-1160) in a century, this book places Peter's thought in the context of the intellectual debates of his time in the effort to understand the substance of Lombardian theology and the reasons why his principal work, the Sentences , immediately became a classic of early scholastic theology with a durable influence, doing more to shape the education of university theologians and philosophers than any other work of systematic theology for the next four centuries. Attention is paid to the sentence collection as a genre of theological literature, the problem of theological language with which Peter and his contemporaries wrestled, and his contribution to early scholastic biblical exegesis as well as to the development of his systematic theology in the Sentences .

Queen Christina

By: Marcia Landy,Amy Villarejo

Each volume in the 'BFI Film Classics' series features a brief production history, detailed filmography, notes and bibliography. This text explores MGM's 1933 production of 'Queen Christina', starring Greta Garbo, from a feminist perspective. The authors explore the role of Christina, who, fleeing an arranged marriage, is forced to disguise herself as a man. They read the film partly from a lesbian perspective, as well as looking at other ways in which gender and power impose contradictory pressures.

Studies in Scholasticism

By: Marcia L. Colish

Spanning thirty years, the papers brought together in this volume reflect three of Professor Colish's interests as a historian of medieval scholastic thought. The first group of studies represent investigations that flowed into, and out of, the research on Peter Lombard (d. 1161) and his contemporaries that culminated in her book Peter Lombard (1994). Following the publication of that work, she next sought to discover how Peter's theology became mainstream Paris theology in the period between Lombard's death and the early 13th century, resulting in the second group of papers in this collection. Finally, the last two papers offer reflections on broader interpretive issues, considering ways in which medievalists ought to reconsider their general understanding of the story lines of high medieval intellectual history.

Love Become Incarnate: Essays in Honor of Bruce D. Marshall

By: Marcia Colish,Matthew Levering,Augustine Di Noia,Paul Griffiths,Reinhard Hütter

Love Become Incarnate is a Festschrift in honor of Bruce D. Marshall, Lehman Professor of Christian Doctrine at Southern Methodist University’s Perkins School of Theology. Marshall is one of the most significant Catholic theologians in the English-speaking world. His work exemplifies an intentionally Catholic theology that makes fearless use of the fullness of truth—wherever it may be found—in conscious service to the Church. Marshall has made significant contributions to the doctrine of the Trinity, Christology, Pneumatology, ecclesiology, ecumenism, Jewish-Christian dialogue, and fundamental theology. St. Thomas Aquinas has been his most constant theological companion, although he has also advanced our understanding of Saints Augustine and Anselm, John Duns Scotus, Martin Luther, Matthias Joseph Scheeben, Karl Barth, and other major figures. Marshall has carefully developed a unique, powerful, and wide-ranging theology of the primacy of Christ over all things. It is this same Christ who is the love of God become incarnate. This series of essays by Marcia Colish, J. Augustine Di Noia, Paul Griffiths, Reinhard Hütter, Matthew Levering, and others engage and advance Marshall’s ranging contributions to historical and systematic theology.

There’s Nothing to Be Afraid Of

By: Marcia Muller

The Globe Apartments, six stories of decaying brick and concrete, rises above San Francisco’s volatile Tenderloin district. The seedy former hotel, once a haven for the city’s down and out, now houses Vietnamese families striving to improve their lives. But private eye Sharon McCone believes that someone from the Tenderloins shadowy underworld is determined to drive the newcomers out. The suspects range from the colorful to the dangerous: a poetry-loving drifter, a mean-spirited preacher, a flower feller with a deadly touch, an enterprising pornographer, and a developer who’d like nothing better than to unload his worst investment—the Globe Hotel. When the All Souls Legal Cooperative is called upon to stop the pattern of intimidation, resentment explodes into murder. As McCone takes up the refugees’ cause, she is drawn into the depths of the city's most hated industry—and into the secrets of San Francisco’s buried past.

That Voice

In Search of Ann Drummond-Grant, the Singer Who Shaped My Life

By: Marcia Menter

As an adolescent in Syracuse, New York, Marcia Menter fell in love with the recorded voice of Ann Drummond-Grant, a Scottish contralto who sang with the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company, the legendary Gilbert and Sullivan troupe. She dreamed of singing with the company, even though it didn’t hire Americans—and even though, as she soon found out, Ann Drummond-Grant had died years earlier. But her dream persisted, and for the young music lover, Drummie’s glorious voice remained a living presence—a refuge from the race riots and political upheavals of her school years. Menter earned a conservatory degree in singing before finally realizing she was not a performer at heart. She spent decades searching for Ann Drummond-Grant—visiting places she lived and interviewing people who knew her—and putting together the puzzle of her life. This is the story of a singer and her listener—of two separate lives divided by time and geography but connected in unexpected ways.

Unloose My Heart

A Personal Reckoning with the Twisted Roots of My Southern Family Tree

By: Marcia Edwina Herman-Giddens

A deeply personal memoir that unearths a family history of racism, slaveholding, and trauma as well as love and sparks of delight Marcia Herman's family moved to Birmingham in 1946, when she was five years old, and settled in the steel-making city dense with smog and a rigid apartheid system. Marcia, a shy only child, struggled to fit in and understand this world, shadowed as it was by her mother's proud antebellum heritage. In 1966, weary of Alabama's toxic culture, Marcia and her young family left Birmingham and built a life in North Carolina. Later in life, Herman-Giddens resumed a search to find out what she did not know about her family history. Unloose My Heart interweaves the story of her youth and coming of age in Birmingham during the Civil Rights Movement together with this quest to understand exactly who and what her maternal ancestors were and her obligations as a white woman within a broader sense of American family. More than a memoir set against the backdrop of Jim Crow and the civil rights struggle, this is the work of a woman of conscience writing in the twenty-first century. Haunted by the past, Unloose My Heart is a journey of exploration and discovery, full of angst, sorrow, and yearning. Unearthing her forebears' centuries-long embrace of plantation slavery, Herman-Giddens dug deeply to parse the arrogance and cruelty necessary to be a slaveholder and the trauma and fear that ripple out in its wake. All this forced her to scrutinize the impact of this legacy in her life, as well as her debt to the enslaved people who suffered and were exploited at her ancestors' hands. But she also discovers lost connections, new cousins and friends, unexpected joys, and, eventually, a measure of peace in the process. With heartbreak, moments of grace, and an enduring sense of love, Unloose My Heart shines a light in the darkness and provides a model for a heartfelt reckoning with American history.

Nurses

By: Marcia Rose,Marcia Kamien

From its gripping first page to its uplifting last, Nurses captures all the crisis, chaos, and craziness at the front lines of a big-city hospital and women's clinic. Funny, heart-wrenching, and always entertaining, Nurses opens the door to the lives of dedicated healers whose stories instantly become as real as our own. Marty Lamb is a smart, savvy nurse practitioner who is director of New York's first and only nurse-run inner-city clinic, the Community Care Clinics of All Souls Women's Hospital. Heading a staff of tough, tenacious nurses, she wages the daily fight to keep the clinic running--battling administrators, executive committees, and doctors who'd rather see nurses be silent, submissive, and sexually available. And all the while Marty must help make the hard medical choices--about high-risk pregnancies, drug addicts with AIDs, and premature babies--that come with serving a poor community. As the worse heat wave in years hits Manhattan, things are reaching the boiling point at CCC. Rumors that the hospital is being sold fuels tension as nurses pull double shifts, doctors demand less time for more money, and an inspection by the board of hospital accreditors threatens to close down the clinic. But Marty's problems are just beginning: someone is tampering with their lab tests, her best nurse has developed an addiction to painkillers, and vicious poison pen letters--from someone who seems to know everyone's deepest, darkest secrets--has the staff walking a razor's edge. At the same time, Marty's private life seems to be on a high-speed collision course with disaster. Her schizophrenic husband, Owen, is suddenly released after years of hospitalization and shows up on herdoorstep. . .just as she's renewing a relationship with Dr. Paul Giordano, the new attending physician at CCC, who loved and left her long ago for mysterious reasons of his own. Immediate, compelling, provocative, Nurses sweeps us into the dramatic lives of care givers, women you will laugh with, cry for and remember forever.
