Abstract

Tot het gezicht van protestants Nederland in de negentiende eeuw behoorde niet alleen 'de dominee-dichter' of 'de predikant-novellist', maar ook de schrijvende selfmade dominee, de niet-academisch gevormde 'godgeleerde' die als kerkelijk werker of als evangelist actief was, maar ook als auteur van zich deed horen. Als wetenschappelijk of literair begaafd talent publiceerde de selfmade dominee (populair-)wetenschappelijke geschriften, stichtelijke poëzie, novellen, romans en lectuur voor de jeugd. Met elkaar vormen de schrijvende selfmade dominees een 'collectief', even bont en divers als het protestantisme van hun tijd. De portretten van zesentwintig dominees brengen hen tot leven. Het kerkelijk-maatschappelijk leven, het religieuze en spirituele klimaat en de leescultuur van protestants Nederland in die tijd krijgen daarbij ruim aandacht.

Abstract

Over a period of forty years, Ben Fisher collected stories illustrating the humor of the Southern Highlander. English, Scotch, Welsh, and Irish immigrants to the Appalachian region of North Carolina brought with them a rugged individualism and a sense of humor and dignity which have been characteristic of the sturdy yeoman farmer. Most mountain preachers and many of the old time mountaineers had a real talent for telling stories. While the "tall tale" is a staple of mountain storytelling, more often the tales relate to something that happened, not something just dreamed up. Mountain humor, like all folk humor, typically arises out of a life situation. Fisher's work, edited by his wife Sally following his passing, relates many of the stories and tales that he had heard over the course of his life.

Abstract

The 2010 earthquake in Haiti buried Renee Splichal Larson in concrete rubble, killing her husband and leaving her a widow at age 27. Surviving only to be overwhelmed by loss and trauma, she wondered if life was still possible for her. Even as she trained to become a pastor, her faith in a loving God was shaken and battered by the earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince and took the lives of many thousands.This is Renee's moving story of love, grief, survival, and new life. It is an account of the lives of three young people, their experience of the challenges, beauty, and hospitality of Haiti, and the tumult that overthrew all they held dear.After years of struggle and healing, aided by remarkable signs of the love and presence of God, Renee offers us an intimate look at her young romance, her experience of the earthquake, and the journey that followed. Most of all, she proclaims her hard-won witness: that in Christ, love and life conquer death.
