Paperback. Condizione: Good. Shakespeare's Histories; Ten Epic Plays at a Breakneck Pace is an indispensable primer for actors, directors, students and audiences. the fastest, most epic, insightful and funniest introduction to these ten most challenging works of the greatest author of all time Shakespeare's Histories is a rapid-fire retelling of Shakespeare's ten history plays, KING JOHN, RICHARD II, HENRY IV, PARTS 1 & 2, HENRY V, HENRY VI, PARTS 1, 2 & 3, RICHARD III and HENRY VIII. The text is liberally sprinkled with the most famous and most profound speeches of those great plays, along with full-color portraits of the kings, family trees, maps and clippings from the First Folio edition. It provides historical perspective, fills in crucial gaps of what Shakespeare leaves unsaid (either for political or dramaturgical reasons) and notes the occasional revisions that Shakespeare made to history in the process Both PLAY and HISTORY LESSON, Shakespeare's Histories makes seemingly impenetrable plays easily and immediately accessible Jumping from Shakespeare's richest poetry to Mooney's playfully impetuous perspective, Shakespeare's Histories isolates the precise facts needed to make characters, plot nuances and levels of intrigue come vividly alive and stick in our heads It is THE go-to resource to finally get these amazing plays This book (60-75 minutes in performance) creates a foundation for further exposure to, and study of, any of these ten plays. It provides a singular frame that may free the student/reader/audience/performer to understand the other twenty nine hours of dramatic material that comprise Shakespeare's epic history cycle. Tim Mooney unlocks the secrets of Shakespeare's history plays, answering. Which King Henry is which? Why was King John such a weasel? What sets Richard III on his murderous rampage? What is Shakespeare avoiding saying about Henry VI and King Charles? What is the most pandering, politically calibrated speech in all of Shakespeare? And much more Most Shakespeare analyses, companion works and annotated texts strive to explain the LANGUAGE of Shakespeare's works, while Shakespeare's Histories provides a baseline understanding of the ACTION of these ten plays. Nuanced study of Shakespeare's dialogue doesn't help the reader/actor/audience understand WHY these things are happening, what got us to this point, and where we are going. Shakespeare's Histories reveals that, while Shakespeare's Comedies and Tragedies are self-contained, Shakespeare's Histories can only be fully grasped COLLECTIVELY and SEQUENTIALLY. While most Shakespeare studies approach the topic with an almost religious reverence, Shakespeare's Histories is willing to poke gentle fun at these plays and their author. It is decidedly contemporary, and sometimes hilarious in its perspective, filled with ebullient energy and mischievous wit.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The foundational book in Eugene Peterson's monumental five-volume work on spiritual theology, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places reminds us that spiritual theology must be about God and not about us. It reunites spirituality and theology in a cultural context where these two vital facets of Christian faith have been torn apart. What better way to continue that conversation than through an intensive study with other readers? This helpful study guide is designed to enable small groups in schools or churches -- or even individuals -- to delve deeper into the timely wisdom of Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places. Peterson's discussion is here broken up into fourteen "sessions," each of which contains a summary, key terms, quotations to consider, and questions for interaction, ending with suggestions for prayer.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places reunites spirituality and theology in a cultural context where these two vital facets of Christian faith have been rent asunder. Lamenting the vacuous, often pagan nature of contemporary American spirituality, Eugene Peterson here firmly grounds spirituality once more in Trinitarian theology and offers a clear, practical statement of what it means to actually live out the Christian life. Writing in the conversational style that he is well known for, Peterson boldly sweeps out the misunderstandings that clutter conversations on spiritual theology and refurnishes the subject only with what is essential. As Peterson shows, spiritual theology, in order to be at once biblical and meaningful, must remain sensitive to ordinary life, present the Christian gospel, follow the narrative of Scripture, and be rooted in the fear of the Lord -- in short, spiritual theology must be about God and not about us. The foundational book in a five-volume series on spiritual theology emerging from Peterson's pen, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places provides the conceptual and directional help we all need to live the Christian gospel well and maturely in the conditions that prevail in the church and world today.…
