...Jesus-which explains why this "most Jewish" of the Gospels is steeped in collective Jewish guilt. Luke, and even more so John, were by contrast profoundly affected by the theology of Paul, who, in preaching to the uncircumcised, had transformed the Jesus of history into a lofty and otherworldly "Lord of Glory." These Evangelists, moreover, wrote at a time when the young Christian church was abandoning its roots in Judaism. It was easy for them to incorporate an anti-Jewish bias into their accounts of Christ's life...
...handsome, inventive, and it is at least as much fun to look at as most of the work in contemporary galleries. As for its authors, they are inspired by their own success. Edelmann is now thinking about animating J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, with its enchanted landscapes, gnomes and elves. "Animation is an extension of painting, because it adds the element of time," he says. "The future of animation is as limitless as the imagination...

Published in hardback for the first time this year, Lunar Caustic was to be the germ for Lowry's second major novel, the Purgatorio in his trilogy, The Voyage...
...Goldsmith as a parody of once popular, tear-drenched death scenes, is played with lilting stylization. Alas, it's the only sustained bit of mannered playing. Too much of what follows is done with a calculated ribaldry derivative of Richardson's Tom Jones. Mr. Hardcastle (Ed Etsten), the lord of the manor, must be given the dubious honor of a lifetime membership in Santa's Village. He tries so hard to be elfishly cop any winning that I'm sure his boundless energy will result in a heart attack along about the third night of the play's run--somewhat...
