ref: 1943, Merton S[tacher] Rice, “The Way of a Bee at a Flower”, in My Father’s World, New York, N.Y.; Nashville, Tenn.: Abingdon-Cokesbury Press, →OCLC, page 62:
text: Today? The nineteenth. Six days before he was to go East; four shopping days, sang the radio, till Christmas. Carefully he had planned this day. Lovingly. Resurrectingly! Looking himself over in the mirror as he was about to depart—for his shot first, then the Loop—he had only decided to phone on the chance that Theresa herself might be home, just to make certain, to check up.
ref: 1962, Philip Roth, “The Mad Crusader”, in Letting Go, New York, N.Y.: Random House, →OCLC, page 542:
text: Likewise the theology of God crucified, the weakness of the cross, the divine bias to the poor and impotent, makes no idol or ideology of powerlessness. The gospel does not abhor power but reconceives it radically, saying that cruciform weakness is itself powerful—divinely, creatively, resurrectingly so.
ref: 1990, Alan E[dmond] Lewis, “Unmasking Idolatries: Vocation in the Ecclesia Crucis”, in Christian D. Kettler, Todd H. Speidell, editors, Incarnational Ministry: The Presence of Christ in Church, Society, and Family: Essays in Honor of Ray S. Anderson, Colorado Springs, Colo.: Helmers & Howard, →ISBN, part I (A Theology of Church Ministry), page 119:

ref: 1995, Andrei Bitov, translated by Susan Brownsberger, “The First Tale: Birds (Catechesis)”, in The Monkey Link: A Pilgrimage Novel, New York, N.Y.: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, →ISBN, page 5:
text: So we educators ought to help our students get straight the significance of the work they are doing now, in college, and the work they are preparing to do as professionals. They ought neither to bow before it idolatrously nor take it lightly as a mere marking time, messing around. It is deathly, and resurrectingly, serious, yet it is not God, but only one of God’s angels.
