  From Scripture to Screen: Understanding How We All Direct Our Own Jesus Story 
   
  In this innovative book, two respected New Testament scholars explore the ways the Jesus story has been told and retold from the earliest Gospel writings to contemporary film adaptations. John Anthony Dunne and Jeannine Brown highlight what later narratives can teach us about the hermeneutical process we employ, knowingly or unknowingly, as we read the Gospels. 
   
  In this book, you will 
   
  ● learn how we visualize the Jesus story in particular ways as we read the Gospels, inevitably casting actors, blocking scenes, and interpreting dialogue as we imagine our own Jesus film; 
  ● journey through two thousand years of storytelling to discover how humanity has grappled with the Jesus narrative, from Gospel harmonizations to modern cinema; 
  ● discover how Jesus films illuminate the interpretive choices we make when reading Scripture, from filling narrative gaps to characterizing Judas, Pilate, and Jesus himself; and 
  ● benefit from rigorous New Testament scholarship made accessible through engaging analysis of contemporary film adaptations. 
   
  The Greatest Story Ever Retold accounts for the ways humanity has been grappling with the Jesus story for two millennia, often casting it in a way that forms to our own questions and identities. The authors show that Jesus films can help us think through how and why we direct our own film in the way that we do when we read or hear the story of Jesus. 
   
  This book is essential reading for students, scholars, and anyone interested in how we interpret Scripture, create meaning from biblical narratives, and participate in the ongoing retelling of Christianity's central story.

  Bold Ventures - Thirteen Tales...

  Charlotte Van den Broeck

  A prize-winning Belgian poet explores the nature of creative endeavor—the godlike ambition, the crushing defeat of failure—through the stories of thirteen tragic architects. 
   
   
   
  In thirteen fascinating chapters, Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal to their architects—architects who either killed themselves or are rumored to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire in seventeenth-century France to a theater that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC, and an eerily sinking swimming pool in the author's hometown. Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Darwin to art history, stories from her own life, and popular culture, Van den Broeck brings patterns into focus as she asks, What is that strange, life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator? 
   
   
   
  Threaded through each story is the author's meditation on the question of suicide—what Albert Camus called the "one truly serious philosophical problem"—in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking ground in literary nonfiction, as well as providing solace and consolation to anyone who has ever attempted a creative act.
