Jesus' Son: Stories (Picador Modern Classics, 3) - Johnson, Denis Review & Synopsis

 Synopsis

Jesus' Son is a visionary chronicle of dreamers, addicts, and lost souls. These stories tell of spiraling grief and transcendence, of rock bottom and redemption, of getting lost and found and lost again. The raw beauty and careening energy of Denis Johnson's prose has earned this book a place among the classics of twentieth-century American literature.

Review

The unnamed narrator in Jesus' Son lives through a car wreck and a heroin overdose. Is he blessed? He cheats, lies, steals--but possesses a child's (or a mystic's) uncanny way of expressing the bare essence of things around him. In its own strange and luminous way, this linked collection of short fiction does the same. The stories follow characters who are seemingly marginalized beyond hope, drifting through a narcotic haze of ennui, failed relationships, and petty crime. In "Dundun" the narrator decides to take a shooting victim to the hospital, though not for the usual reasons: "I wanted to be the one who saw it through and got McInnes to the doctor without a wreck. People would talk about it, and I hoped I would be liked." Later he takes his own pathetic stab at violence in "The Other Man," attempting to avenge a drug rip-off but succeeding only at terrorizing an innocent family. Each meandering story--some utterly lacking in the usual elements of plot, including a beginning and an end--nonetheless demands compulsive reading, with Denis Johnson's first calling as a poet apparent in the off-kilter beauty of his prose. Open to any page and gems spill forth: "I knew every raindrop by its name. I sensed everything before it happened. I knew a certain Oldsmobile would stop for me even before it slowed, and by the sweet voices of the family inside that we'd have an accident in the storm." 

 The most successful stories in the collection offer moments of startling clarity. In "Car Crash While Hitchhiking," for instance, the narrator feels most alive while in the presence of another's loss: "Down the hall came the wife. She was glorious, burning. She didn't know yet that her husband was dead.... What a pair of lungs! She shrieked as I imagined an eagle would shriek. It felt wonderful to be alive to hear it! I've gone looking for that feeling everywhere." In "Work," while "salvaging" copper wire from a flooded house to fund their habits, the narrator and an acquaintance stop to watch the nearly unfathomable sight of a beautiful, naked woman paragliding up the river. Later the narrator learns that the house once belonged to his down-and-out accomplice and that the woman is his estranged wife. "As nearly as I could tell, I'd wandered into some sort of dream that Wayne was having about his wife, and his house," he reasons. Such is the experience for the reader. More Genet than Bukowski, Denis Johnson lures us into a misfit soul's dream from which he can't awake. --Langdon Cook

Denis Johnson (1949-2017) is the author of eight novels, one novella, one book of short stories, three collections of poetry, two collections of plays, and one book of reportage. His novel Tree of Smoke won the 2007 National Book Award.

Luke's Presentation of Jesus

This study uses composition criticism to consider everything that Luke wrote about Jesus. Jesus was a human being and a prophet, yet Luke wished to say much more. He has a very extensive and developed portrayal of Jesus as a saviour. His roles as Servant of Yahweh and Son of Man play a real part in explaining a number of Jesus' experiences and actions, including his passion. Jesus' identification as the Christ can be associated with the being Son of God, but each of these identifications has its own nuances. Luke 1:35 proves crucial for a correct understanding of Son of God and guides the reader's comprehension of Jesus' identity. The OT background of Lord leads to a correct interpretation of this title when applied to Jesus, and Luke willingly predicates similar things of God and of Jesus.

The Truth About Islam and Jesus

Christians are often surprised when they hear Muslims say, "We believe in Jesus too, and we hold Him in great esteem." But what do they really mean? Are the Muslim Jesus and the Christian Jesus the same person? Immersed in the Islamic worldview as the son of a devout muezzin—mosque leader—Emir Caner helps readers untangle two very different belief systems. He and John Ankerberg take on the tough questions: What role does Jesus have in Islam? What does the Qu'ran say about Him? What does it not say? Why are Muslims repulsed by the idea that Jesus is the Son of God, fully God and fully man? What do Muslims have in mind when they acknowledge Jesus as virgin-born? How can Christians discuss these belief differences without insulting Muslim friends and acquaintances? A concise, authoritative guide for informed Muslim-Christian interaction.

Does Jesus Know Us--do We Know Him?

The two reflections that form this book do not claim to mediate in the conflict between naive piety and scientific exegesis. They arise from the conviction that only the Scriptures of the New Covenant, taken as witnesses of faith and in their entirety, can produce a tangible and credible portrait of Jesus Christ, whereas every critical attempt to approach him from a position other than that of the faith witnessed to in the Scriptures can only result in a pallid, distorted picture unworthy of belief (and hence devoid of interest). It is a fact: only the person who is convinced that Jesus knows him personally gains access to knowledge of him. And only the person who is confident of knowing him as he is, can know that he is also known by him.

The Power of the Blood of Jesus

Andrew Murray was a prominent South African pastor and Christian writer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Murray's belief in faith healing and the continuation of the apostolic gifts made him one of the key figures in the Pentecostal movement. Murray wrote over 200 books and many of them, such as the devotionals Abide in Christ, Absolute Surrender, and Humility, are considered Christian classics. The Power of the Blood of Jesus is a book in which Murray describes the significance of the blood of Christ. This is an excellent book for Christians trying to improve their spiritual lives.

Readers will no doubt be inspired to start or continue with their safari in Jesus Christ. .However, when that darkest night arrived and I steeled myself to put my plan into place, I called out to Christ for the first time in my life and He heard me. Out of my despair, I cried out to God, asking Him to help me and take away the sad feelings that had taken full control of me. I cant recall exactly the strange things that happened during my prayer, but I was overcome by emotion and cant remember ever crying so hard. I went into a deep sleep, and the following day was delighted to find all my sadness gone. God had infiltrated my foolproof plan! From then on I vowed to surrender my life to Him and have never regretted my decision.

The Mission and Death of Jesus in Islam and Christianity

The common wisdom is that Christians and Muslims should dialogue only about what they agree on. This book takes a different approach. As the author observes, "If we focus only on our common ground, we will miss some of the motivating force of our traditions, because that force derives not only from what we hold in common, but also from those convictions that keep us apart."

Restorative Christ

The conviction that Jesus is the restorative Christ demands a commitment to the justice he articulated. The justice of the restorative Christ is justice with reconciliation, justice with repentance, justice with repair, and justice without retaliation. The Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts portray the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ through the radical concept of enemy-love. In conversation with Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Jesus-for-others), John Howard Yoder (a nonviolent Jesus), Miroslav Volf (an embracing Jesus), and Chris Marshall (a compassionate Jesus), Broughton demonstrates what the restorative Christ means for us today. Following the restorative Christ faithfully involves imaginative disciplines (seeing, remembering, and desiring), conversational disciplines (naming, questioning, and forgiving), and embodied disciplines (absorbing, repairing, and embracing).

Mormanism

What do Mormons teach about Jesus, the Trinity, God, baptism for the dead, and how to be saved? The Latter-day Saints often use Christian terms, but mean something completely different. The 10 Questions & Answers on Mormonism bestselling pamphlet will help you discover the truth about these and many other critical issues.

This compelling Q & A pamphlet examines 10 critical questions regarding the beliefs and practices of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and responds with what the Bible teaches about each: Did the Christian church really need to be restored? Was Joseph Smith a true prophet of God? What is Mormon scripture? Is the Bible trustworthy Scripture? Is the Book of Mormon an ancient document? Is the God of Mormonism the God of the Bible? Does Mormonism teach the truth about Jesus? Can we earn our salvation? Why do Mormons build temples? Does Mormonism teach polygamy? 10 Questions & Answers on Mormonism pamphlet provides answers to 10 of the most important questions regarding Mormonism. Readers and students of other religions and cults will find answers to these and other claims Mormons make: After the death of the original apostles, the church slipped into the Great Apostasy. Joseph Smith, the church'sfounder, is a modern prophet, seer, and revelator revealing divine truth. Mormonism claims four standard works or writings including the Bible, but also the Book of Mormon, The Pearl of Great Price, and the Doctrines and Covenants. All humans preexisted in heaven before becoming human. After he rose from the dead, Jesus went to the Americas. Sin that is not overcome robs the Mormon of any assurance of reaching the celestial kingdom. Mormonism believes that God is one among many gods stretching into eternity past. This pamphlet explores the beliefs, practices and history of this controversial group, including interesting ideas and prophecies by founder Joseph Smith. Among many other ideas, many Mormons believe: The restoration of true Christianity began when God and Jesus appeared to Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith is second only to Jesus. The Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on earth. God was a mortal who attained his exalted state by obedience to eternal laws and principles. The 10 Questions & Answers on Mormonism includes a Glossary of Mormon Terms. The glossary is extremely helpful to those who desire to witness to Mormons. The glossary explains the following terms and many others: Baptism for the dead--A temple ritual in which a Mormon proxy is baptized on behalf of a deceased person. First Vision--An event that Mormons claim took place in 1820 in which God and Jesus appeared to Joseph Smith and told him all the churches were wrong and that their creeds were an abomination. Priesthood--The priesthood gives Mormon males the power and authority to act on behalf of God. Temples--Special buildings reserved for ordinances for the dead, marriages for time andeternity, and sealings of families for eternity. The 10 Questions & Answers on Mormons offers a listing of additional resources for learning more about Mormons/Latter-day Saints, and additional insights and information that improve outreach to Mormon co-workers and acquaintances. The following is a sampling of helpful tips: Don't assume that a Mormon defines a word the same way you do. Do define your terms and have them define theirs. Do concentrate on core issues such as what the Mormons believe about God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and other key issues.

Was Joseph Smith a true prophet of God? What is Mormon scripture? Is the Bible trustworthy Scripture? Is the Book of Mormon an ancient document? Is the God of Mormonism the God of the Bible? Does Mormonism teach the truth about Jesus?"

When Jesus Was a Green-Eyed Brunette

When Jesus Was a Green-Eyed Brunette weaves heartwarming and miraculous stories of Jesus showing up in ordinary people, revealing that He knows us and is fully present in our everyday circumstances, especially in our difficulties. As best-selling author Max Davis puts it, "When we are born again, Jesus lives inside each of us. He is very much alive today and still does incredible things -- sometimes supernatural things -- through us!" Davis's own life was dramatically altered when he first came face-to-face with Jesus living inside a green-eyed brunette. That encounter started a forty-plus-year journey where Jesus became his best friend. When we see others as God sees us we will love them as God loves us. Those hurting and weary from worn-out religion are longing for a fresh touch from the living Jesus. By letting Jesus live through us we become a conduit of His love. Authentic Christianity is not about religion but a relationship with Jesus. Davis challenges us to do more than simply receive His grace -- we need to allow grace to soften, change, and shape us. As you read this book, you will laugh, cry, and come face-to-face with the living Jesus.

Historical Atlas and Chronology of the Life of Jesus Christ

Excerpt from Historical Atlas and Chronology of the Life of Jesus Christ: A d104 Book and Companion to a Harmony of the Gospels These pages contain three exhibits of the life of Christ which have been, developed in the class-room in the effort to teach our Lord's life as a history. The historical maps locate in order the principal events of Jesus' life, and are designed for memory pictures. Every map exhibits a different journey and each event is recorded as near its proper place as can be determined. Only the towns, provinces, streams and mountains that are directly involved in the history of Jesus' life are represented. For typographical convenience the "Mount of Beatitudes" is placed a little to the north of the spot generally favored. The chronological table gives all of the reasonably certain years, seasons, months, days, and hours of Jesus' life, and, supplements the maps in geographical detail. The third exhibit proposes an analysis of Jesus' ministry based upon his method of work, by recognizing periods, indicated by Jesus himself in the successive stages by which he organized his disciples, and which he invariably punctuated with one of his great discourses. Analyses are given which show the character of each period, and trace the developments, crises and consummations that unfold the plans and purpose of his ministry. The book is best used with a Harmony of the gospels. It will accompany any of the standard works, by Broadus, Stevens and Burton, Riddle, or Robinson, and will not be found to vary from the order of events followed by any of these editors excepting in the few and generally unimportant particulars where they vary from each other. The table of passages according to the general divisions of the life of Christ adopted in this work will serve to locate events in an ordinary version of the gospels.

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ is a book by Levi H. Dowling who claimed that he had transcribed the text of the book from the kashic records, a purported compendium of mystical knowledge supposedly encoded in a non-physical plane of existence. In the later 20th century, it was adopted by New Age spiritual groups. The title is derived from the practice in astrology of naming time periods in terms of constellations and their dominant positions in the sky, according to the earth's axial precession. In that system, the Age of Aquarius is approaching.

Have you ever thought about the leadership style of Jesus Christ? There has never been anyone who has had an influence on the world the same as Jesus.

Revelation of Jesus Christ

A new and transforming approach to the Book of Revelation. Margaret Barker bases her study on a fresh reading of the primary sources. As an Old Testament scholar, she can read Revelation as Hebrew prophecy - ancient temple oracles which inspired Jesus and his own prophecies, and influenced the whole Jerusalem Church. Jerusalem was waiting for their Great High Priest to return and complete the Atonement at the end of the Tenth Jubilee. This expectation fuelled the revolt against Rome. Josephus, who deserted to Rome, was the false prophet. John, who escaped to Patmos, compiled Revelation as a record of the first generation. In the future, he taught, the Lord would return to his people in the Eucharist.This work illuminates the formative years of Christianity, in the social, religious and political situation of mid-first-century Palestine, in a quite remarkable way. It will have profound implications for the understanding of Christian origins and the development of Christian liturgy.

In the Shadow of the Cross

How could things deteriorate so quickly in twenty-four hours? From a banquet to a burial! The dark shadow of the executioner's cross sliced across that unforgettable day. A tragic day -- yet planned by a sovereign God. Watch anew as Jesus prays his prayer of submission to the Father's will, as he passes through the sting of betrayal, as he faces undaunted the inhumane and hateful treatment, and as he speaks unexpected last words that leave a legacy of love. Walk with Jesus from the garden to the tomb, to that first Easter morning, the dawning of hope and joy.

"Jesus Is Victor!"

IN THIS INNOVATIVE WORK, Christian T. Collins Winn examines the role played by the Pietist pastors Johann Christoph Blumhardt (1805-1880) and Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt (1842-1919) in the development of Karl Barth's theology. The disparate theological themes and dynamics of the two Blumhardts were crystallized in their eschatology, and Collins Winn argues that as early as 1916 Barth had appropriated this Blumhardtian eschatological deposit in ways fundamental to his own theological development. Against the grain of current Barth scholarship, this book establishes how the theology of the Blumhardts, though critically reconstructed, was not merely an episodic inßuence on Barth's work. Instead, the Blumhardts had a complex and enduring impact on Barth, such that their imprint can be detected even in the mature theology of his Church Dogmatics. In treading new ground into Barth's theological formation, Jesus Is Victor! represents an important contribution to the þeld of Barth studies.
