Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ
Ellis, Hartcher, Warhaft and Jones on the rise and fall of government
No full textIn this special ABC Fora-presented session of the Sydney Writers Festival, Tony Jones hosts a panel discussing Australia\u27s most recent change of government, when the previously unassailable John Howard was electorally humiliated by a nerdy little MP from Queensland.
The panelists were journalist Peter Hartcher, writer and provocateur Bob Ellis and Sally Warhaft, in her first public appearance since being sacked as the editor of the Monthly magazine. Each brought their own insights, titbits and pieces of research to what was a rollickingly fun discussion.
Peter Hartcher has just released "To the Bitter End: The Dramatic Story Behind the Fall of John Howard and the Rise of Kevin Rudd", Bob Ellis\u27 tome "And So It Went" is a massive collection of political musings from 2007, and Sally Warhaft commissioned Kevin Rudd\u27s essay on Faith in Politics, which is now regarded as a declaration of the aspirant\u27s prime ministerial intentions.
Over the course of a thoroughly entertaining hour, Ellis reminisces about his drunken lunch with Rudd, Hartcher tells of the time Howard fell asleep in a meeting which was discussing whether he was being perceived as being old and tired, and Warhaft speaks for the first time about her departure from the Monthly.
Gold Walkley award-winning Journalist Peter Hartcher is the International and Political Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald. He has worked as a correspondent in Tokyo and Washington DC. He is the author of books including a biography of Allan Greenspan called "Bubbleman".
Bob Ellis has crafted the words of Labor leaders including Kim Beazley, Bob Carr, Mike Rann and Nathan Rees. He has written several works for the stage and screen, including "Newsfront", "Fatty Finn" and "The True Believers", and he\u27s the author of many books including "Goodbye Jerusalem".
Sally Warhaft is an anthropologist, radio commentator, and writer. She was a former academic at LaTrobe University and RMIT. She is the former editor of The Monthly magazine, leaving amid a controversy over editorial control. Her book "Well May We Say: Speeches That Made Australia" is a collection of diverse and influential speeches that have helped shape the nation.
Tony Jones is a journalist and broadcaster, and presents the ABC programmes "Lateline", "Q and A" and of course "ABC Fora". He has won multiple awards for journalism, including four walkleys, and has worked on shows including "Four Corners" and "Foreign Correspondent".
 
Food and eating in fiction since 1950 with particular reference to the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis.
No full textPhDEating is a fundamental activity. What people eat, how and with whom, what
they feel about food, what they do or do not want to eat and why - even who
they eat - are of crucial significance in any reading of human behaviour.
In this thesis, I consider the diverse and complex uses of food and eating
in fiction since 1950, especially that written by women. I argue both that food
and eating carry much of the meaning of a novel or story and that the acts of
cooking, feeding and eating depicted are inseparable from issues of power and
control: individually, interpersonally, culturally, politically.
My discussion centres on the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing,
Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory,
sociology, anthropology, Foucault, Bakhtin and others, the thesis aims to
construct an interdisciplinary perspective which both resists reductive
interpretations and emphasises the centrality, complexity and diversity of food
and eating in literature in our culture.
I begin with an examination of the ambiguities of maternal feeding and
nurturing, moving on to explore the links between appetite, eating and sexuality.
I explore cannibalism and vampirism as manifestations of oppression, but also as
indicating insatiable emptiness and transgressive appetite. The body itself is
crucial, and my argument considers the paradox of not eating as
control/enslavement, also tracing self-starvation as a positive route towards
wholeness and connection. The last part of my argument focuses on social
eating, examining conventions, rituals and food itself in connection with power
relations, and finally considers how we might truly speak of food and eating in
the context of society as a whole

The Gospel on the Margins: The Ideological Function of the Patristic Tradition on the Evangelist Mark
Get PDFIn spite of the virtually unanimous patristic opinion that the evangelist Mark was the interpreter of Peter, one of the most prestigious apostolic founding figures in Christian memory, the Gospel of Mark was mostly neglected in the patristic period. Not only is the text of Mark the least well represented of the canonical Gospels in terms of the number of patristic citations, commentaries and manuscripts, the explicit comments about the evangelist Mark reveal some ambivalence about its literary or theological value. In my survey of the reception of Mark from Papias of Hierapolis until Clement of Alexandria, I will argue that the reason why the patristic writers were hesitant to embrace the Gospel of Mark was that they perceived the text to be amenable to the Christological beliefs and social praxis of rival Christian factions. The patristic tradition about Mark may have little historical basis, but it had an important ideological function in appropriating the text in the name of an apostolic authority from the margins or periphery
Lotto night - Abbott and Costello, 1999 [picture] /

Tony Abbott and Peter Costello win their defamation case in the ACT Supreme Court against writer Bob Ellis for a passing reference to the pair's sexual behaviour in their days as Young Liberals in his book of reminisences 'Goodbye Jerusalem: the Night Thoughts of a Labor Outsider'. Everyone acknowledges the law can be a lottery, but nevertheless you would imagine Ellis' publisher, Random House, would be less than happy with their wayward author.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor
Repetition and difference in nineteenth-century British narrative
No full textRepetition and Difference in Nineteenth-Century British Narrative analyzes narrative repetition in historically specific terms of similarity and difference, thereby historicizing repetition: first by analyzing repetition into similarity and difference; secondly by understanding repetition as a negotiation between similarity and difference; and thirdly by recognizing that those are not transcendental categories but cultural constructions--linguistic expressions of limited social perspectives made at particular moments in history. This work asserts that, as the values of difference changed during the nineteenth century, the traditional, grounded repetition-of-similarity was increasingly contested by an emergent, destabilizing repetition-of-difference, which grew in response to industrial, cultural, economic, and other political developments at the time. In critical practice, this historical view situates formalistic readings and the insights of psychoanalysis into the structural and temporal aspects of narrative and repetition. A theoretical introduction constructs an interpretive model of repetition, which is then applied to both Gothic and Conradian doubling narratives as well as to novels by Emily Bronte, Dickens, Eliot, Hogg, Wilde, and others.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:15:28Z (GMT).
