Rabelaisian Use the literary adjective Rabelaisian to describe writing that is similar to the work of the French novelist FranÃ§ois Rabelais. Sometimes dirty jokes are described as Rabelaisian, especially when they're in the context of biting, satirical humor. To be truly Rabelaisian, a piece of writing should also be sharp and smart, exuberant and exciting, and aimed at a highly educated, literate audience. FranÃ§ois Rabelais, who wrote in sixteenth century France, was known for his huge vocabulary and skill with the French language, as well as jokes that were vulgar enough â Rabelaisian, in other words â to get his books banned from many places.
Gerhard Ebeling. Gerhard Ebeling (6 July 1912 â 30 September 2001) was a German Lutheran theologian and a leading proponent of hermeneutic theology in the 20th century. He was born in Berlin-Steglitz, where he attended the gymnasium and began his university study. Ebeling was later a student of Rudolf Bultmann and Wilhelm Maurer in Marburg and of Emil Brunner at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. The years of his study in Berlin, Marburg and ZÃ¼rich fell in the period of National Socialism in Germany, and his contact with Dietrich Bonhoeffer as well as his work in the Confessing Church had an enduring influence on his thought.
