You know the story of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs. You know what the wolf did. You know that if the wolf were tried for his crimes, that he would surely be guilty. Well, here’s an activity that will shed doubt on your previous convictions. After all the evidence has been presented, you’ll question whether the wolf is really guilty or merely a victim of wolf prejudice and circumstantial evidence.

Alexandru Neagoe examines Luke’s writings as an apologetic work, by focusing on the parts of Luke’s story where the apologetic overtones seem most prominent--the trial narratives. In analyzing the trials of all major Lukan characters--Jesus, Peter, Stephen, and Paul, Neagoe argues that the narratives are best understood when viewed as part of Luke’s apologia pro evangelio, a purpose which is in keeping with the author’s declared aim to give his readers "assurance" about the "matters" in which they had been instructed (Luke 1:4).

A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on a regular basis--an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life--including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door--becomes increasingly unpredictable. As K. tries to gain control, he succeeds only in accelerating his
