Was entsteht, wenn sich ein Künstler der deutschen Sprache verschreibt, auf die tägliche Dosis Lesestoff mit selbst gepanschten Wörtern reagiert und diese in einem Blog publiziert? Nach zwanzig Jahren Arbeit legen René Gisler und seine zahlreichen Co-Autorinnen und Co-Autoren nun ein geballtes Sprachkunstwerk vor, das seinesgleichen sucht. Mit dem "Thesaurus rex" wird die umfangreichste je gedruckte Enzyklopädie an Worterfindungen Wirklichkeit. Bei den mehr als 16'000 Einträgen geht es aber nicht darum herauszufinden, was mit dem Alphabet klanglich oder experimentell nun noch so anzustellen wäre, so wie es etwa Dadaisten oder Vertreter der Lautpoesie praktiziert hatten. Vielmehr orientieren sich die Wortschöpfungen am ganz normalen Wortschatz. Koseworte werden erweitert zu "Narkoseworte", Information und Ration fusionieren zur "Informration", und mal fällt auch ein Buchstabe weg und die Wirklichkeit wird als "Wirkichkeit" entlarvt. Die schiere Menge an Wortneuschöpfungen suggeriert Ernsthaftigkeit und Seriosität. Ein Versprechen, das die Herausgeberinnen und Herausgeber aber glücklicherweise nicht einlösen - denn die Bleiwüste lebt.

Powerful and unsettling.
Format: Kindle
This classic by James Cone is a challenge to anyone who thinks it is easy to be Christian in America. It should be read by all white people. The god of the bible is the god of oppressed people. Ask yourself who is oppressed in america. Follow that question to its logical conclusion and you will see why this book is a must read.

The Genesis of Black Theology
James Cone’s initial foray into the intentional development of a black theology ought be required reading for any serious Christian theologian. It challenges long-standing Christian claims by challenging not so much the claims themselves, but the racist presuppositions to those claims. The language is contextual, I suspect, offensive to many. But the language is effective in illuminating the racist presuppositions. Read with a critical eye, one can indeed find under-developed theological claims that could bear sharpened revision. But as with any first revolutionary theological work, the brilliance lies in the courageous and compelling insight that demands personal reflection and dare I say ... theological modification.

Powerful Book
Format: Paperback
Okay, so this was written in the 60’s at the height of the civil rights movement. Given that, you might expect the arguments to be a little dated. Not so. This reflects brilliance of Cone and the failure of America to make real progress. I found Cone’s book to be a damning comment on today’s churches. As a white Protestant I’m ashamed that my church hasn’t embraced more of Cone’s argument. As a Lutheran, we’ve done better than most, but we have more to do. Professor Cone’s work should be required reading for all seminarians and church leaders.

It's Tight but Mostly Right
It is prophetic for it continues to in the here and now. The language is harsh and often accusatory. Great amount of time spent on the oppressor...but not so much on the oppressor with blacks themselves. I do believe White mite learn a thing or two about black oppression. I do believe black should refresh our memory of the need to come together as a nation of the same hue to give America a clue about the blacks from God's point of view.
