[source] SCHLEIERMACHERIAN TRANSCENDENTAL SPIRITUALITY AND THE BOOK OF JOBTHE HEYTHROP JOURNAL, Issue 5 2009DAVID J. TURNBLOOM The Book of Job is certainly one of the most enigmatic and attractive books in all of the Hebrew Scriptures. As a masterfully written poem, Job utilizes imagery and metaphor in such a way as to leave even the secular reader in awe. It tells the story of a pious man who, through many sufferings, is tested by the Divine and sent on a spiritual journey which culminates in a face to face meeting with God. As a poem and as Scripture, Job has been the subject many interpretations over thousands of years. Often read as an insight into the mysteries of evil, innocent suffering, human nature, and the Divine, this piece of poetic Scripture has been the source of much debate and frustration among scholars and the faithful alike. It is not the purpose of this essay to attempt an overview of these various interpretations with the intention of settling upon one superior interpretation. Also, it is not the purpose of this essay to refute any previous interpretations. What I will offer is merely one interpretation among many , an interpretation which I hope might further, if only to the smallest degree, the significance of this great text for even one reader. This essay will take the theology of Friedrich Schleiermacher and, relying on an interpretation of Job given by Gustavo Gutierrez, offer a way of reading Job which leads to a transcendental spirituality. I will accomplish this in three parts: first, I will lay out certain Schleiermacherian concepts which advocate a form of transcendental spirituality; next, relying on Gutierrez's interpretation, I will draw parallels between Schleiermacher's concepts and the spiritual journey of Job; finally, I will show how the book of Job itself can be read as a tool for developing a transcendental spirituality within the reader. In the end, it will be clear that, without fear of ,misinterpretation,' the Book of Job can guide the reader to a transcendental spirituality.

Focusing on the Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, par une société de gens de lettres edited by Denis Diderot and Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, it explores the complicated and contradictory relations of these concepts developed not only in the Encyclopédie's entries, but especially in its Frontispiece designed by C.N. Cochin, fils. Using Maurice Quentin de La Tour's monumental pastel portrait of the marquise de Pompadour sitting beside the Encyclopédie as a central example, the essay also suggests that tensions between decoration/knowledge, reason/imagination, truth/fable still shape current interpretation.

[source] BOOKS, PRINTS, AND TRAVEL: READING IN THE GAPS OF THE ORIENTALIST ARCHIVEART HISTORY, Issue 3 2008ELISABETH A. FRASER From about 1780 a thriving publishing industry for travel accounts developed in France, but its rich visual component has not been closely analysed. Taking Auguste de Forbin's Voyage dans le Levant and Marie-Gabriel de Choiseul-Gouffier's Voyage pittoresque de la Grèce as paradigmatic examples, I reconsider illustrated travel books in light of new theories of reading generated by historians of the book. The multifarious nature of these books , juggling word and image, and coordinating the work of a large number of writers, researchers, artists and print-makers , provides a radically alternative model for interpreting travel representation in the age of expansion. [source] Credit Ratings and Taxes: The Effect of Book,Tax Differences on Ratings ChangesCONTEMPORARY ACCOUNTING RESEARCH, Issue 2 2010BENJAMIN C. AYERS G29; H25; H32; M41 This paper examines whether credit analysts utilize the information contained in the difference between book and taxable income in analyzing a firm's credit risk. Increased book,tax differences may be informative for credit rating agencies as they may signal decreased earnings quality or changes in the firm's off,balance sheet financing. Results suggest a significant negative association between positive changes in book,tax differences and ratings changes. This evidence is consistent with large positive changes in book,tax differences signaling decreased earnings quality and/or increased off,balance sheet financing. We also find that large negative changes in book,tax differences result in less favorable rating changes, consistent with these changes signaling decreased earnings quality. In additional analyses, we find that the association between changes in book,tax differences and rating changes is attenuated for high,tax-planning firms (e.g., where book,tax differences more likely reflect tax planning than decreased earnings quality).

Sanchez For such members of the Sidney-Essex circle as Spenser, who supported monarchy as such but were uneasy about a number of specific policies, what historians have described as a move in the 1590s away from mid-century conciliar theories generated anxiety about the status of the nobility and the future of Protestantism. The erotic relations of the 1596 edition of The Faerie Queene register such concerns about the absolutist rhetoric of the last fifteen years of Elizabeth's reign, most noticeably in the revised ending of Book III. Whereas the 1590 Book of Chastity concludes with Scudamour and Amoret merging into a hermaphroditic figure of mutual devotion, the 1596 version replaces this scene of conjugal bliss with a protracted narrative of Scudamour's despairing suspicion and Amoret's continued affliction. The nature of Amoret's loyalty, moreover, is itself complicated by the concluding cantos of Book IV, which reveal that the husband for whom she has willingly suffered was in fact the first of her assailants. The disproportion between Amoret's fidelity and Scudamour's desert in the 1596 versions of Books III and IV suggests that idealized equations of love, virtue, and suffering may have lulled Amoret into complicity in her own abuse. This revision is thus crucial to Spenser's project of fashioning a virtuous subject, for in apprehending the discrepancy between idealized narratives of mutual devotion and actual structures of unilateral sacrifice, the reader of The Faerie Queene may likewise come to recognize and resist the contradictions and inequities of late sixteenth-century political practice. [source] Sexual and Religious Politics in Book I of Spenser's Faerie QueeneENGLISH LITERARY RENAISSANCE, Issue 2 2004Harry Berger Jr. Recent criticism that professes to be gender-sensitive and post-new-historicist still refuses to entertain the possibility that The Faerie Queene might distance itself from the misogyny embedded in the spectrum of Reformation discourses from the Puritan to the Papist pole. But Spenser could have found and reacted to misogyny not only in the religious polemics of his century but also in the intertextual archive of precursors to which The Faerie Queene so richly alludes. The problematic treatment of woman in Book 1 is not ingenuous, peripheral, nor accidental. Far from merely participating in the misogynist metaphorics of religious polemics, Book 1 performs a critique of it. Spenser shows how the male protagonist's fear and loathing of himself gets displaced to female scapegoats,Error, Duessa, Lucifera, Night,and how Una reinforces this evasive process of self-correction. In the episodes of Una's adventure with the lion (canto 3) and the house of Pride (canto 4), Book 1 interrogates both romance conventions and anti-papist allegory.
