"Why Martha Stewart should go to heaven and the SEC should go to hell." From Reason magazine,
2003. (The coincidence of the name is
fascinating, isn't it?)
An
article in Witness magazine: "Here's how the Gospel according to John tells it: 'When Martha heard that Jesus
was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home.' Quite a reversal of the roles, here -- very different
from our encounter with these same sisters in Luke's Gospel where it is Mary who crosses over the cultural expectation
-- sitting at Jesus' feet and getting in trouble with Martha for not pulling her weight in the kitchen. Here it
is Martha who leaves the women mourning and goes out to meet Jesus: a radical departure." |
