...with a biblical quotation and a full-color Gospel scene that seems a cross between tarot cards and Peter Max art. From the ace of Luke to the king of John, the scenes tell a chronological story of Jesus' life. The king of Mark, for instance, is the Crucifixion. The jokers are "fools for Christ." A booklet accompanying the deck suggests variations on standard games. "Go Fish" becomes "Go Seek." "War" becomes "Peace" (though the higher card still wins). "I Doubt It" becomes "I Believe." There are also "Inspirational Solitaire" and "Gospel Bridge," and a variation of gin rummy...
...used by ten Protestant denominations and two publishing houses, texts and lesson plans "still tend to draw an unjustifiably negative picture of Jews and Judaism in dealing with such crucial issues as the Jewish religion, the Jews' rejection of Jesus as the Messiah [and] their role in the crucifixion." The study, published jointly by the National Conference of Christians and Jews and the American Jewish Committee, found the most extreme bias in such conservative denominations as the Church of the Nazarene and the Assemblies of God.

De Kooning's new work is a matter of symptom, rather than code; its contortions carry less meaning than one is apt to suppose...
Another scene finds its source in an unsympathetic rendition by the Mexican historian, Vicente Pineda, of a crucifixion by Cuscat and his followers of one of their own people. But in the context of the novel, the crucifixion of Pedro's brother, Salvador, who is already a very sick man, seems a natural act of piety. And though afterwards Cuscat realizes that to the Dominicans his people dancing in frantic circles are only blasphemous drunken Indians, to him, their leader, they are "drowning people going toward a core which doesn't even have a name, certainly it is not called...
