Auch die dunkle Seite Gottes, für viele im Teufel manifest, wählt den Menschen als Heimstatt, und es ist für den Menschen entscheidend wichtig, sich dieser Tatsache bewusst zu werden. Hier liegt ein großes Geheimnis, das wohl in einem Menschenleben nicht völlig auszuloten ist. Und doch müssen wir uns angesichts der massiven ...

One of the interesting aspects of Tiling's work is that it gives us an intimate illustration of the German-Texan influ...

We, who live in the Machine Age, can scarcely imagine how our grandparents and parents, who came from a populous country, the home of their parents, and moved with them to the thinlysettled state of Texas, passed their youth - under circumstances and surroundings so entirelydifferent from those under which we grandchildren and children live.Therefore, we gladly listen when Grandmother or Grandfather tells of that time: the pioneerdays with the...

Texas is well known to everyone as the setting for Indian tales and Wild West romances and most have also heard of the oil wells and sulfur pits, cattle herds, and cotton fields that secure it a place in the world economy. But who knows anything about the fact that in the vast areas that stretch between the Mississippi and the Rio Grande deep into the Plains, historical events as charming as they are significant to have taken place, that Texas...

I have therefore employed the device, as a means of communication to the scriptwriter - and I hope inspiration - of framing an interview with the man who was closest to Jesus, and in old age had made his ho...
