Le portrait de Jésus que dessinent les trois premiers évangiles tout au long du récit de la Passion et de la Résurrection laisse apparaître, comme en filigrane, toute une série de figures du Premier Testament : "les figures de l'origine", Adam, Abel, Noé, Abraham et Joseph ; "les figures de l'histoire", de Moïse à Jérémie en passant par Josué, David surtout et Élie; "la figure de la fin" avec le serviteur souffrant qui représente la fin des figures.

Nous sommes habités par plus grand que nous-mêmes, mais nous n'en sommes pas conscients. Nous sommes pour ainsi dire endormis, emprisonnés dans le sommeil de l'insouciance ou de l'habitude. Nous avons besoin de nous éveiller aux réalités de la vie intérieure et de la foi, de décaper le verni de l'accoutumance qui les recouvre pour dynamiser et densifier notre vie, pour expérimenter à quel point elle est belle et à quel point elle est pleine de sens. L'enseignement des jésuites à la portée de tous.

L'auteur propose une réflexion qui sait nous rejoindre là où nous en sommes dans notre cheminement de foi. Tantôt réflexions, tantôt méditations, tantôt prières, ces textes offrent de nombreuses pistes pour éclairer et encourager nos recherches, et nous donner le goût d'entrer dans le mystère. Il n'est pas besoin d'avoir longtemps fréquenté les Évangiles ou longtemps exploré le contenu de notre foi chrétienne pour découvrir qu'il existe beaucoup de paradoxes dans notre religion.

Fr. Harrington brings to life the social and religious climate of the ancient world. The everyday help that Proverbs offered the ancients is explained in clear and concise manner. The importance of the fear of the Lord is captured in Sirach and Wisdom. The poem of the good wife that ends Proverbs is astonishingly modern. The context of this poem is the key to its understanding. Honor and shame, evil and death, afterlife, friendship, and community are all delved into in these works.

Back in the age where they belong, Jack, Tanner, Allie, and Gefnar have bid farewell to their friends in the lawless lands of Varbius, only to encounter an old acquaintance - one who extends to them a curious invitation from the eagle-blood King Shanedir.

Out of the ashes, the Grandmasters of the Universe created a world of dragons and faerie creatures.

As the inhabitants went on with their lives, a power-hungry fire dragon surreptitiously violated the rules of war and slowly extirpated societies in search of the forgotten egg.
