Noli Me TangereOn the Raising of the Body\nAuthor(s): Jean-Luc Nancy, Sarah Clift, Pascale-Anne Brault, Michael Naas\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Fordham University Press, United States\nImprint: Fordham University Press\nISBN-13: 9780823228898, 978-0823228898\nSynopsis\nChristian parables have retained their force well beyond the sphere of religion; indeed, they share with much of modern literature their status as a form of address: \""Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.\"" There is no message without there first beingor, more subtly, without there also being in the message itselfan address to a capacity or an aptitude for listening. This is not an exhortation of the kind \""Pay attention!\"" Rather, it is a warning: if you do not understand, the message will go away.\n The scene in the Gospel of John in which the newly risen Christ enjoins the Magdalene, \""Noli me tangere,\"" a key moment in the general parable made up of his life, is a particularly good example of this sudden appeara.
