The Forgotten Psalms
by Professor Morten V. Litenwinkel
In 2016, Professor Litenwinkel began to translate some mysterious
texts that he had discovered in the archives of the library of the University
of Oymyakon. These texts turned out to be fragments of Hebrew poetry that may
or may not have been part of temple worship in Jerusalem. Professor Litenwickel’s
at once highly accurate but rather speculative translations capture the essence
of the typical Judahite at a time when Jerusalem was continually oppressed by
imperialist war dogs. Highlights of The
Forgotten Psalms include ‘The Psalm of Heman of Eternia’ and ‘Hey, ho, it’s
Babylon again’.
Romanian twins Gabriela and Monica Irimia, otherwise known as
pop superstars The Cheeky Girls, may have struck a chord with Europe’s
disaffected youth through sharp political and anti-consumerist satires such as
their hit songs ‘Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)’ and ‘Take Your Shoes Off’; but in
recent years they have been walking the earth in an attempt to discover the
meaning of life. In Our Cheeky Faith
Journey, the Cheeky Girls reveal how they have encountered various faith
traditions, from Christianity to Raëlism to Auntie Maisie’s Cosmic Club,
and what the prospect of faith means to them in a universe seemingly governed
by the implacable and dispassionate laws of physics. Comes with a double-sided poster.
The Dictionary of
Words and Terms Not Found in the Bible edited by Lee Pofaif
While there are many different theological dictionaries
available, Lee Pofaif, Professor of Biblical Studies and Advance Equestrianism at
the University of Toad Suck, AR, and his team of tweenage scholars have found a
sizeable gap in the market for a new but important reference book. This
enlighteningly wonderful volume contains over 2,000 entries ranging from ‘aardvark’
to ‘Zarak’ via ‘mereological nihilism’, explaining why the Bible, when
considered as the inspired and inerrant Word of God, has neglected to include
such vital keywords and terms.
I got a review copy of "The Forgotten Psalms." It definitely broke new ground. I'll send my fuller review later. But anything from Skybalon Press is definitely worth reading. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's true; no shortage of quality here.
DeleteOnce I get my copy of Litenwinkel's book, I might post a psalm or two here. Finding new ancient texts is always fascinating and worthy.
I found the concept of 'turning the other cheek' took on new meaning after I read Gabriela and Monica's book. Highly recommended. I'll have to have a gander at that dictionary, though. I mean, why *wouldn't* a word be used in the bible? Potentially gerundbreaking in the field of etymological theology. Thanks for the head's up, Terry! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt really does look like a worthwhile addition to the bookshelves, doesn't it? I'm hoping that 'Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong' is included.
DeleteHappy new year to y'all, Sandy!
I showed this post to my husband. He read it and looked at me, puzzled, saying, "Is this supposed to be funny?" o_O Too highbrow for him, I fear.
DeleteP.S. Or too lowbrow. Who am I to say? But that line 'Hey Ho, It's Babylon Again' - love it! Seriously. Reminded me of Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy ;-)
DeleteMaybe I should post some more stuff from the Skybalon Press catalogue so your husband can truly appreciate its quality.
