The Book of Exodus is the foundational narrative of the Old Testament, representing the transition of the descendants of Jacob from a collection of oppressed families into a sovereign nation under the direct rule of Yahweh. It is a story of liberation, law, and liturgy, spanning from the dark brick-pits of Egypt to the luminous clouds of Mount Sinai.

The journey begins on the desolate island of Patmos, where the Apostle John finds himself in exile for his commitment to the Gospel.

Mittlerweile ist zwar der Expressionismus aus der Mode gekommen, aber auf der Sprechbühne zeitigt er immer noch eine gewaltige emotionale Wirkung.

Bitter Lips, Sweet Heart is a unique collection of romantic poetry first assembled by a group of young male college students who got together to read poetry and drink tea every week, thinking themselves spurned romantics and talented poets.

May its angst, irony, lust, and innocent affection amuse and entertain you today, just as it did the four nerdy boys who assembled it to communicate.

Dante's Paradise is the third of the three cantos of the Divine Comedy, after Hell and Purgatory. Hell and purgatory are places on Earth, but paradise is a non-material and ethereal place, divided into nine heavens.
