![]() Constraints bring light to the obstacles this rhetoric may face, whether it be social, political, economical, etc. There are three main considerations to make while analysing a rhetorical situation: the constraints, the exigence, and the audience. Analysing a rhetorical situation clarifies why a text was created, the purpose in which it was written, and why the author made specific choices while writing it. In sum, all rhetoric has an external situation in which it is responding to. Lloyd Bitzer describes rhetorical situation as, “a complex of persons, events, objects, and relations presenting an actual or potential exigence which can be completely or partially removed if discourse, introduced into the situation, can so constrain human decision or action to bring about the significant modification of the exigence” (6).

How to Lose a Fiancé by Stefanie London (June 17) ![]() ![]() ![]() It will surely be a landmark publication in the history of scholarship for its bold claim that all four canonical Gospels present Jesus as the embodiment of the God of Israel (a view for which I will also argue in volumes 2, 3 and 4 of my Jesus Monotheism). It is an important book, elegantly written and full of fresh insights into the literary character and theology of the Four Gospels. Richard Hays, the godfather of New Testament studies on all things intertextual (see his seminal Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul and his The Conversion of the Imagination ) has recently published an important book on the use of the Old Testament in the Gospels ( Echoes of Scripture in the Gospels ). It was an invited (“Keynote”) paper and, as I was asked to speak to the general topic of Intertextuality, the research and writing has helped me clarify my understanding of the Son of Man problem. ![]() On Monday of this week I gave a lecture at a Biblical Studies conference at the University of Birmingham entitled “Intertextuality and the Son of Man Problem”.

In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era.

Sage Heymann and Brianna Cuahuzio provided much needed rest for players by continuing to apply pressure to the aggressors. When the Millers chose to put it out wide then Mackenzie Boyer and Emiliana Castillo would turn them back. Jocelynn Nakhammouane, Vivian Wilson and Hayley Brown disrupted some of the central attack.

These new forms of music consumption, the daughters agree, pose an existential threat not only to their father’s legacy, but to the music industry itself. This “squeamish” first-person-plural narrator is two adult daughters of a successful music producer they work for their father’s company and are clearly dumbfounded, at the turn of the century, by what they see as an utter violation of the sanctity of the music they sell.

Marvel spawned Amalgam Comics, a line centered around a world populated by DC and Marvel fusions. In the past, Marvel and DC were much more willing to play ball with one another and publish some truly creative stories. Fortunately for comic book fans, Kurt Busiek has decided to step in and put an end to the conspiracies once and for all. It's been years since readers have seen the all-stars of the Big Two mingling together and to this day speculation continues to pop up wondering why. The writer behind JLA/ Avengers is disputing rumors among fans about what happened to bring crossovers between DC and Marvel to an end. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think these books are classified YA because of the age of the main characters and the intensity of the violence as well as the creepiness of the creatures doing battle. While this series has much in common with Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series - mythological figures and creatures, fast paced action and battles - the heroes of Scott's series, twins Josh and Sophie Newman are fifteen, almost sixteen and these books are considered YA (young adult.) I decided to give this book a middle grade rating after reading the first book and summaries of the next five books in the series. It's long been on my list of books to read, especially since, as a bookseller, I noticed a large number of adult flocking to this series and raving about it. ![]() I purchased this book when it came out almost six years ago and my daughter read and enjoyed it. And, the first five books are in paperback with book Six, The Enchantress, coming out in paperback in May of 2013. So, if, like me, you are late to this party, the good news is that you don't have to wait a year for each book in the series to be written. Last year, the sixth and final book in this series was published. The Alchemyst : The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott was published in 2007, the same year as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. ![]() |
