How is it possible to write a Christology when so much is-in question: the traditional structure of Christian doctrine, the difficulties in establishing what can be known about Jesus of Nazareth, and the growing awareness of the validity of non-Christian religions as ways towards God? In this important new book, Ruth Page takes up the challenge, and in facing the problems squarely has produced a compelling and forward-looking answer. Central to her approach is a stress on the God who becomes incarnate, the God of freedom and love. Since freedom and love are God's nature, they will also determine the circumstances of incarnation and how it is perceived. Jesus is to be sought imaginatively, presenting salvation in dramatic form. The history of Jesus contributes to the identity of Jesus Christ, through whose action the nature of redemption becomes visible and effective. To illustrate her central thesis, Ruth Page not only refers to the Gospels and Christian tradition, but draws on poetry and drama, experience and evidence from the realities of our modern world. With her we learn to read an over-familiar story of the Christ in a new light, and at the same time to apply new insights to our own time, its faiths and its despairs. Ruth Page was Associate Dean of the Faculty of Divinity in the University of Edinburgh.

Here, the author explores the state of togetherness in the world of Christianity, pointing out that in many ways the attitude to mission is much more vibrant than thinking within churches at home, where power is still locked into the same old structures.

In this fresh contribution to the ongoing search for paradigms and idioms other than the classical Christian tradition, Page employs the categories of drama and theater to build a christology grounded in the God who became incarnate--in freedom and love. This singular contribution to christological studies features conversations with contemporary theologians and dramatists.

Dust jacket notes: "This book is a record of an eclectic education in dance by a well-known dancer and choreographer who studied with some of the best teachers in the world and recorded their classes in notebooks. It takes us from early lessons in her hometown, Indianapolis, to New York, London, Monte Carlo, Paris, Germany, Austria, China, Indonesia, Siam, Cambodia, Burma, Spain, and back to her adopted city, Chicago. Among the masters with whom she studied were Enrico Cecchetti, Adolph Bolm, Alexander Volinine, Carmelita Maracci, Mary Wigman, Harald Kreutzberg, Mario, Maria Montero, Aurora Arriaza, and Jose Otero. Its fascination lies in her personal recollections of these great teachers and of how they conducted their classes as well as in her notes on their classwork. The ballet classwork can readily be tried by anyone who knows the vocabulary, while the modern and ethnic sections might be used by those who have studied the technique. All readers will appreciate the efforts of a trained dancer to translate into her own movement vocabulary the subtleties and complexities of dance forms other than her own. It also presents a plea to today's young dancer to pursue well-rounded dance training, develop an interest in a variety of styles, and never stop taking classes. Her introduction begins, 'Next to performing, class is the most important thing in a dancer's life.'"

Stories are shared by millions of people online every day. They post and re-post interactions as they re-tell and respond to large-scale mediated events. These stories are important as they can bring people together, or polarise them in opposing groups. Narratives Online explores this new genre - the shared story - and uses carefully chosen case-studies to illustrate the complex processes of sharing as they are shaped by four international social media contexts: Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Building on discourse analytic research, Ruth Page develops a new framework - 'Mediated Narrative Analysis' - to address the large scale, multimodal nature of online narratives, helping researchers interpret the micro- and macro-level politics that are played out in computer-mediated communication.
