Brothers Keepers: Joseph and Job
Tristam Joseph (Author)
Joseph ad Job were both afflicted with adversity, judges by them to be undeserving, disrupting their lives for reasons discerned by neither one. Were their sentences fair? Did they object to their condemnations to suffer? How did they bear their burdens? Were their vilifications justified? What did they have to do to find redemption? How righteous must the blameless be? How much can anyone be?
Virtue in Dystopia
Tristam Joseph (Author)
A virtuous protagonist, entering life's complexity, struggles to define himself, listening to friends and advisors, some promoting their own truths, others witnessing to eternal truths. His chosen characterization invites trials and tribulations, prevailing justice and injustice, scorn and ridicule, bringing him to discover joy and to bring his existence meaning. He becomes one not of this world and trusts his being's information will never be destroyed. His beginning is without ending.
Prancing Grace
Tristam Joseph (Author)
To survive humans must live by something and they develop creeds to ensure their existence. Creeds unfold from reasonable intuitions on questions asking who am I, where did I come from, why am I here, and where am I going. People's insights are universal in trusting an unseen creator to have all the answers and they create means for pleasing the mover of all creation. Rational inspiration empowers people to introduce doctrines for a mover's approval and appropriate dogmas to worship their maker. Sanctifying their doctrines and dogmas drives people's existence and contributes more than anything else to history. How does this matter to the future of humans?

Nomad's Asking
Tristam Joseph (Author)
A wandering wayfarer in creation's wasteland, seeking answers, encounters diversity's proponents commenting with their opinions on where humans came from, why they are here, and what happens to them after death. God has sent many prophets with messages to answer people's questions, but they are willfully misunderstood as incompatible with human ways for living and conceals things they want to know. Each proponent claims to be a protagonist privileged to possess the only reliable source of truth, never admitting all truth changes, being subject to erosion by time. What can a nomad in the wilderness hope to be lasting?
