Playing With Knives

Masthead

Thema: Playing with Knives: God the
Dangerous

Douglas Jones works with a little Poe.

"
Most of us look in Abraham's direction and long.
Job's response is easier. I certainly couldn't play Abraham in front of
a flamefaced child. We're all heads-down, counting mint and
anise and cummin, while the Trinity puts on this amazing opera
of history. Oh, to have the instincts of Abraham. To be quick
enough to recognize the dangerousness of God in the face of evil
and respond in awe: `Dammit. You're going to raise him from the
dead, aren't you?'

A Boar in the Road - Douglas Wilson

"Andrew jumped aside at the last minute, and heard the sound of his trousers tearing. The boar skidded into the pile of wood, not yet a fire, and turned quickly for another charge. Andrew looked down and saw that the boar had wounded him in the leg with one of its tusks. He knew that he would not be able to jump aside
a second time."
