Where Hummingbirds Lie and Politics Fly

A Cal Panterra Novel

By: Mark Coussan

You want to know what you're dealing with here," Lumpkin's tone became serious but very quiet. His words were barely audible as he spoke sternly about Poche. "You want to know what you're after.a pathological liar, with no morals or sense of right and wrong; pure evil. Children stop smiling when they see him, priests feel the blood freeze in their veins as he walks past, and us.the police, we pull the hammers back on our guns anytime we know he's near. He's a vicious shadow of a snake that breaks all Ten Commandments by just waking up in the morning. I know. I've had to look him in the eyes, all alone." New Orleans's famous detective, Cal Panterra, haphazardly finds himself moving too fast through a case that's had years to misleadingly create its own immunity. One that's entrenched his mind to the point he ignores his own skilled instincts. Driven with passion to resolve a case his late Chief and mentor left behind, he doesn't realize there'll be lessons to learn. When it comes to murder, the most obvious of motives can quickly change.

Jesus in a World of Colliding Empires, Volume Two: Mark 8:30–16:8 and Implications

Mark's Jesus from the Perspective of Power and Expectations

By: Mark J. Keown

At the time of Christ, world politics was an ebb and flow of colliding empires and forces. The world knew only dynastic succession and rule by force. Israel was swept up in this world. Her expectations of deliverance, while diverse, had in common the anticipation of violent liberation by an alliance of God, the expected one (Theo), and Israel's forces. Her vision included the subjugation of the world to Yahweh. Any messianic claimant would be expected to fulfill this hope. Mark's story of Jesus must be read against such expectations of military power. Mark knows that Jesus' plan of salvation differed radically from this. Rather than liberation through revolution, it involved deliverance through humble, loving service and cross-bearing. However, the disciples follow Jesus but do not understand Jesus' purpose. They constantly expect war. So, the Gospel is then read from Mark's full understanding and the disciples' flawed perspective. In this first volume of Jesus in a World of Colliding Empires, Keown backgrounds Mark and the political situations of the world at the time. He then unpacks Mark 1:1--8:29 as Jesus seeks to show the disciples he is Messiah while drawing out the deep irony of their incomprehension.
