Holiness by Webster, John Webster, John Edition , 0 $19.99 A masterful account of God’s holiness. A world-renowned theologian here offers a succinct account of a central yet neglected theme in Christian teaching–the holiness of God. Integrating biblical studies, theology, and practical application, John Webster provides a thoroughgoing trinitarian understanding of God’s holiness with highly relevant results. According to Webster, God’s holiness is known not in his simple transcendence but in his gracious and free relationship to his people. Such holiness finds an echo in the holiness of the Christian community, especially in worship and witness, and in the life of the individual disciple. Profound yet readily accessible to a wide range of readers, Holiness offers an ideal entry into reflection on the Christian God. |

Confessing History by Fea, John; Green, Jay; Miller, Eric Edition , 1 $27.49 At the end of his landmark 1994 book, The Soul of the American University, historian George Marsden asserted that religious faith does indeed have a place in today’s academia. Marsden’s contention sparked a heated debate on the role of religious faith and intellectual scholarship in academic journals and in the mainstream media. The contributors to Confessing History: Explorations in Christian Faith and the Historian’s Vocation expand the discussion about religion’s role in education and culture and examine what the relationship between faith and learning means for the academy today. The contributors to Confessing History ask how the vocation of historian affects those who are also followers of Christ. What implications do Christian faith and practice have for living out one’s calling as an historian? And to what extent does one’s calling as a Christian disciple speak to the nature, quality, or goals of one’s work as scholar, teacher, adviser, writer, community member, or social commentator? Written from several different theological and professional points of view, the essays collected in this volume explore the vocation of the historian and its place in both the personal and professional lives of Christian disciples. "Confessing History fills a large gap in the literature on Christian and especially evangelical historiography. I know of no other book or anthology of scholarly articles that so carefully analyzes how believing historians should work within the intellectual expectations of the guild. And it does so with pristine prose, impressive erudition, and charity of spirit. After reading Confessing History, I find myself compelled to take the prescriptions and proscriptions of the secular academy less seriously and my identity as a Christian historian more seriously." –Grant Wacker, Duke University "How to reconcile religious commitment with the practices of the guild is one of the really big questions for believing historians. Confessing History is essential reading not only for them, but also for any wishing to understand the important issues at stake. In its pages we witness the concerns, questions, and yearnings of a new generation of believing historiansÑand perhaps even the contours of a new approach to Christian historical scholarship." –Donald Yerxa, Director, The Historical Society "This collection of essays represents serious, sustained, multivalent, and cogent reflection on challenges for Christian historians as experienced by a mostly younger set of scholars. The volume acknowledges foundational work on such subjects carried out by a collection of older evangelical and Reformed scholars–including Ronald Wells, Darryl Hart, and George Marsden–but also moves well beyond these earlier voices, sometimes critiquing what they have written, but also sometimes venturing off into new directions." –Mark Noll, University of Notre Dame |

Holy Scripture by Webster, John; Ford, David; Spinks, Bryan; Tanner, Kathryn; Torrance, Iain Edition , 0 $30.99 John Webster argues that, whereas any understanding of scripture must be subject to appropriate textual and historical interrogation, it is also necessary to acknowledge the special character of scriptural writing. His book strongly reaffirms that the triune God is at the core of a scripture-based Christianity. Written with intellectual enthusiasm by a theologian who understands the currents of modern secular thought, the volume develops a constructive position on biblical authority. |

For Student Series Drama: The White Devil by John Webster $8.99 John Webster’s The White Devil is a story of passion and revenge. Written and first performed in 1612, The White Devil is loosely based on a sensational event that happened in Italy some thirty years earlier: the murder of historical Vittoria Accoramboni in Padua, on December 22, 1585. Webster apparently used one or more chronicles of the event for his plot line, his settings, and his characters. According to John Russell Brown, however, Webster had to be very careful as he retold this story. Webster’s interest was not so much in the historical accuracy of his retelling, but rather in the way this story could “[depict] the political and moral state of England in his own day.” Although The White Devil is an example of the revenge tragedy genre, a popular Jacobean form of drama, Webster’s design and purpose in the play are not always clear. Many critics contend that this is a seriously flawed play, one that has no central purpose other than to reveal the corruption at the heart of court life. There are other, more recent critics, however, who argue that Webster’s creation of a chaotic world lacking stability is a masterpiece. Indeed, Webster’s play is a commentary on the fragmentary, shifting nature of reality itself. As Brown writes, “The white devil herself is at the centre of the story and its staging, but she is by no means a stabilizing factor; she is always changing, and changing the audience’s view of other persons.” The White Devil continues to fascinate audiences and readers alike; Manchester University Press…. |

The Duchess of Malfi by Webster, John; Brown, John Russell Edition STU, 0 $9.99 More widely studied and more frequently performed than ever before, John Webster’s The Duchesss of Malfi is here presented in an accessible and thoroughly up-to-date edition. Based on the often reprinted Revels Plays Edition of 1964, the notes have been augmented to cast further light on Webster’s amazing dialogue and on the stage action which it implies. An entirely new introduction sets the tragedy in the context of pre-Civil War England and gives a revealing view of its themes, action and visual imagery. From its well-documented early performances to the two productions seen in the West End of London in the 1995-96 season, a stage history gives an account of the play in performance. Students, actors, directors and theatre-goers will fiind here a reappraisal of Webster’s artistry in the tragedy which stands in the very first rank of plays from perhaps the greatest age of English theatre, and reasons why it has lived on stage with renewed force in the last decades of the twentieth century. |

For Student Series Drama: The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster $8.99 John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi was written in 1613 or 1614, and had at least two successful productions in London before it was published in 1623 under the title The Tragedy of the Duchesse of Malfy. Generally considered to be Webster’s masterpiece, it tells the story of a young widow who marries against the wishes of her powerful brothers, setting off a storm of revenge. The startling violence, the unbelievable plot twists, the mysterious motives of the brothers, and the calm strength of the Duchess have made The Duchess of Malfi a subject for fierce debate for hundreds of years. Critics and reviewers have loved or hated the play, with equal fervor. The Duchess’s story is based on actual events that took place in Italy in the early sixteenth century. Webster freely borrowed elements of his story from several sources, including William Painter’s popular collection of stories, The Palace of Pleasure (1566–1567), and Sir Philip Sidney’s romance Arcadia (1590), and also borrowed dramatic elements from the Revenge Tragedy tradition, but he adapted the source materials to suit his own themes and dramatic purpose. The Duchess of Malfi is widely available in high school and college anthologies. It is also available separately as a Dover Thrift edition and collected in The Duchess of Malfi and Other Plays (1998), part of the Oxford World Classics series. |

John Webster, Renaissance Dramatist by Coleman, David Edition ILL, 0 $59.99 Transgressive and darkly brilliant, the drama of John Webster has long been celebrated as one of the crowning glories of the English Renaissance. David Coleman locates Webster's remarkable plays within the context of the tumultuous political, religious, and economic climate of Jacobean London. He reintroduces readers to the playwright's great tragedies and familiarizes them with lesser-known works. He unpacks the fascination and repulsion expressed by generations of critics and theatergoers, ultimately arguing that the relevance and resonance of Webster is nowhere near extinct. This marks the only introductory guide to Webster's work that takes recent scholarship into account. Chapters devoted to The White Devil, The Duchess of Malfi, and The Devil's Law-Case situate each of these plays within their historical, cultural, and critical contexts. Coleman also recounts the performances of these plays, from their original stage production to today's cinematic interpretations. |
