The book is organized by genre of biblical literature. First, the priestly literature articulates a binary concept of disability as impure and passive, i.e. as 'other' to the pure, holy, and active. By contrast, in the prophetic literature and the Psalms, images of disability structure communication among God, prophets, leaders, and people. Here, disability does not simply mean impurity; its valuation depends on its possessor. Wisdom literature and narrative present figures (e.g. Job, Mephibosheth) whose innate or acquired disabilities are nevertheless placed, and not simply as impurities, within cosmic and social order. Although priestly literature seems anomalous, all strata of biblical literature use disability imagery not primarily to represent disabled persons, but mainly to represent the power of Israel's God. Physical norms and disability thus play a pervasive and previously neglected role in biblical categories of holy/unholy, pure/impure, election/rejection, and God/idols. This book provides a literary critical method focused on representation in the canonical form of the text allows a comprehensive view of how images of disability operate in relation to major concepts, and also provides a foundation for studies in the history of interpretation. All discussion of biblical passages and books draw on existing historical studies as a necessary precondition for understanding.

Did You Ever Want to Read a Friend’s Diary? In suburban neighborhoods and on family farms, in uptown lofts and homeless shelters, women across America chronicled their lives on the same day—June 29, 2004. This Day in the Life shares more than thirty complete diaries and hundreds of additional candid moments. Full of intimate details and laugh-out-loud truths, and drawing on the experiences of women of all ages and backgrounds, this diverse collection is a surprising reminder of how much we all have in common. If you’ve ever wondered what the woman standing in front of you in line was thinking, This Day in the Life is a refreshing glimpse at how we really spend our days—and the value of every single one. 7:03 a.m. Carryn wakes to nurse and I want to sleep. My husband pretends not to hear her, but sometimes I wake him up just so he can see my job is twenty-four hours a day. —Jenee Guidry, 30, mom of four 8:20 a.m. I just read two Psalms aloud to Dad. In the last few months of his life he loved for me to read them to him, both in person and on the phone. I still do it, hoping they reach him in the other world. —Rosanne Cash, 49, singer/songwriter 4:00 p.m. The cast of Friends is on with Oprah. That was one of the few shows I watched every week.

I am sitting next to a blast wall built from sandbags. Do I stay here? Do I go into the trailer and lie on the floor? Six minutes pass. I am about to miss dinner. —Beth Garland, 42, army sergeant
L'amore è onorevole ma talvolta anche egoista. L'amore è un promemoria dei miei torti. L'amore si è spezzato durante il giudizio ma ha tenuto duro di fronte alla verità. E la verità era che mi aveva ferito, eppure lo amavo. Mi aveva lasciato, eppure lo avevo inseguito. Ma con Léo Baudin avevo chiuso. Non appena finito il semestre, avrei detto addio a Parigi, ma fino ad allora avrei scoperto tutti i suoi segreti. Quelli sussurrati alle sue spalle. Quelli che spingevano l'intera città a spiare ogni sua mossa. Quelli che lo tenevano in ostaggio. Ma conoscere i suoi segreti significava conoscere lui. E conoscerlo significava cadere ulteriormente ai piedi dell'uomo che mi aveva già ferito così tanto. Lo odiavo per avermi spezzato il cuore, ma ormai avrei dovuto imparare: "Le cose che odiamo diventano le cose che amiamo". E proprio quando pensavo che niente avrebbe più potuto separarci, i fantasmi del suo passato erano tornati in vita con una verità che nessuno dei due si aspettava. E bugie che nessuno di noi poteva immaginare. Man mano che ogni pezzo veniva svelato, la scelta tra potere, saggezza e amore si faceva più difficile. Le conseguenze delle nostre scelte sarebbero state giudicate da questa città. Ma quando tutto fallisce, l'amore continua a sperare. Contro ogni previsione, l'amore persevera sempre.
In 1916, when Rebecca West was not yet twenty-five years old, George Bernard Shaw wrote: 'Rebecca can handle a pen as brilliantly as ever I could and much more savagely.' These early writings, collected ehre for the first time, established Rebecca West's reputation as a brilliant journalist and a dedicated yet undogmatic feminist and socialist. From the age of nineteen, writing articles for The Freewoman, and later the Clarion, she displayed her characteristic fierce intelligence, her passion and her biting wit in articles on women's suffrage, imperialism, the Labour Party, and trade unionism as well as literature, religion, domesticity, men and crime. Whether reviewing the latest novel by H.G. Wells ('the sex obsession that lay clotted on Ann Veronica... like cold white sauce'), describing police brutality against suffragettes ('An Orgy of Disorder and Cruelty'), or arguing for better conditions for working women ('Women ought to understand that in submitting themselves to this swindle of underpayment, they are not only insulting themselves, but doing a deadly injury to the community'), she demonstrated again and again a characteristic fearlessness and a formidable grasp of events. Including a short story, 'Indissoluble Matrimony', which appeared in the historic first issue of Blast, and a biographical essay of great psychological penetration on the suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, this exhilerating collection introduces the early work of one of the most distinguished writers of our time and provides a portrait of a fascinating and turbulent period of British political and literary history.
