Miriam's Midwives
Konrad Yona Riggenmann
(Author)
Description
Based on diligent research, the seven scenes of this nativity play present a realistic, biblically evidenced and coherent but persistently denied reading of Jesus' coming into this world. His end as a victim of Roman soldiers in touching psycho-logics corresponds with his start in the womb of a young rural worker victimized by Roman soldiers. Far from blasphemy but full of sympathy with both victims, these scenes show that, in the wording of Brazilian Rabbi Nilton Bonder, "not force and virility but ... the woman builds the path of humanity" and that, in the words of Catholic US-theologist Jane Schaberg, the repressed tradition of Jesus' illegitimous birth "unmasked ... presents us with fuller human realities and therefore with deeper theological potential."Product Details

About the Author
K.Y. Riggenmann nasceu em 1952 e concluiu a sua mocidade católica ativa só no seminário maior de Augsburgo. Tornou-se professor de escola pública com tese de admissão sobre Bertolt Brecht e publicou 12 peças para teatro escolar e amador, seu drama New Heimat sobre emigrantes suábios e judeus sendo premiado em 1994. Pós-graduado em 2001 com tese sobre a influència de John Dewey na escola brasileira, em 2002 recebeu o Prèmio Flechtheim para sua luta contra cruzes obrigatórias nas escolas públicas. Em très livros próprios e um junto com Richard Rubenstein, Cardeal Lehmann e Papa Benedito ele inquiriu como se aprende o ódio aos judeus. Emigrado em 2011, em 2012 um teste genético provou seus DNAncestrais entre aqueles marranos portugueses que na época buscaram a Terra Prometida onde ele escreveu o livro: no Brasil.
