"The Torn Book: UnReading William Blake's Marginalia argues for the connection between British poet and painter William Blake's marginalia (the annotations he made in the volumes he owned and borrowed) and the role that often multivalent symbols like pens, writers, readers, and books play throughout his art." "The Torn Book pays particular attention to original Blake items, including the various annotated volumes housed at the Huntington Library, Houghton Library, Cambridge's University Library and Wren Library, Dr. Williams's Library, and the British Library, among others."--BOOK JACKET.

In this 2006 text, Daniel M. Gurtner examines the meaning of the rending of the veil at the death of Jesus in Matthew 27:51a by considering the functions of the veil in the Old Testament and its symbolism in Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism. Gurtner incorporates these elements into a compositional exegesis of the rending text in Matthew. He concludes that the rending of the veil is an apocalyptic assertion like the opening of heaven revealing, in part, end-time images drawn from Ezekiel 37. Moreover, when the veil is torn Matthew depicts the cessation of its function, articulating the atoning role of Christ's death which gives access to God not simply in the sense of entering the Holy of Holies (as in Hebrews), but in trademark Matthean Emmanuel Christology: 'God with us'. This underscores the significance of Jesus' atoning death in the first gospel.

A Mysterious Correspondent. A Battle-weary Nation. A Covenant Sworn on the Altar of Hell. Aside from a few memories of her mother, the convent is all Kerstin’s ever known. But when she receives an invitation to work for the Duke of Klomm, she finally gets the chance to experience life outside the abbey. Only, the opportunity isn’t what she thinks. Offered up as bait in a dangerous undercover investigation, Kerstin must walk a harrowing razor’s edge. And with the Church watching her every move, one misstep could land her back in the convent—or worse, at the stake. Not to mention, the duke will most likely throw her off a bridge the second she outwears her usefulness. And that’s if the most nefarious wizard in the land doesn’t blast her into another dimension first. There’s nowhere to turn. There's no one to trust. And with the investigation taking a darker turn, Kerstin finds herself questioning whose side she’s really on. The question is, can she claim power for herself ... or will some washerwoman find her floating facedown in the canal?
