Claude Charron claudecharron — The exhaustive research makes up for the unremarkable writing. Reading it in Rome bumps it up from three stars to four.

Vincenzo Onnembo aspecialperson — "He listened with careful attention, as though something important were eluding him." "...a sullen waitress...served the guests cheerless beer in cracked glasses." Just two chapters in and I want to read everything Leppin ever wrote. If I can bororow from Greil Marcus, Paul Leppin writes as if he's describing his bones coming through his skin. The city is the villain in this novel, a destroying angel, both alluring and repulsive. Various locales and buildings, the daylight and the streetlights playing off them, and the variable weather, all cast mood-altering hues, all wreak havoc. Severin never stands a chance. The Twisted Spoon edition is beautiful to hold and read. The translation by Kevin Blahut is solid. There were, perhaps, one or two awkward-sounding passages, but since I won't be reading this in the original German anytime soon, I can live with that. I will be looking for other Leppin titles soon.

Great insight from historical background and word pictures Logical beautiful arguments for centering life on Jesus Clearly portrays Jesus' message--that His life, death and resurrection is the one thing worth centering our lives on this section from the book's last paragraphs was worth the read... If you know that this is not the only world, the only body, the only life you are ever going to have—that you will someday have a perfect life, a real, concrete life—who cares what people do to you? You’re free from ultimate anxieties in this life, so you can be brave and take risks. You can face the worst thing...with joy, with hope. The resurrection means we can look forward with hope to the day our suffering will be gone. But it even means that we can look forward with hope to the day our suffering will be glorious. When Jesus shows the disciples his hands and his feet, he is showing them his scars. The last time the disciples saw Jesus, they thought those scars were ruining their lives. The disciples had thought they were on a presidential campaign. They thought that their candidate was going to win and they were going to be in the cabinet, and when they saw the nails going into the hands and the feet and the spear going into the side, they believed those wounds had destroyed their lives. And now Jesus is showing them that in his resurrected body his scars are still there. Why is this important? Because now that they understand the scars, the sight and memory of them will increase the glory and joy of the rest of their lives. Seeing Jesus Christ with his scars reminds them of what he did for them—that the scars they thought had ruined their lives actually saved their lives. Remembering those scars will help many of them endure their own crucifixions. On the Day of the Lord—the day that God makes everything right, the day that everything sad comes untrue—on that day the same thing will happen to your own hurts and sadness. You will find that the worst things that have ever happened to you will in the end only enhance your eternal delight. On that day, all of it will be turned inside out and you will know joy beyond the walls of the world. The joy of your glory will be that much greater for every scar you bear.
