Langland’s line is simultaneously an oblique translation of Philippians 2. 7 (‘and emptied himself, taking the form of a servant’), and an occlusion of the controversial word (anientisen) normally used to translate the kenosis verb in English. In this reading, the figure of Piers the Plowman, as servant of Truth, represents the metaphorics of Christian service, embodying a kenotic critique of the ‘serve and deserve’model of grace and merit.}, journal={The Yearbook of Langland Studies}, publisher={Brepols Publishers NV}, author={Knowles, Jim}, year={2014}, month={Jan}, pages={191–224} } @book{the oxford friars project: virtually reconstructing mendicant architecture in medieval oxford_2014, place={Raleigh, North Carolina}, url={https://oxfordfriars.wordpress.ncsu.edu.}, institution={North Carolina State University}, year={2014} } @article{knowles_stinson_2014, title={The Piers Plowman Electronic Archive on the Web: An Introduction}, volume={28}, ISSN={0890-2917 2031-0242}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1484/j.yls.5.103727}, DOI={10.1484/j.yls.5.103727}, abstractNote={This essay provides an overview of the history of the PPEA, discusses the recent launch of the PPEA online, describes how the resource can be used in scholarship and in the classroom, and concludes with a call for future collaborations.}, journal={The Yearbook of Langland Studies}, publisher={Brepols Publishers NV}, author={Knowles, Jim and Stinson, Timothy}, year={2014}, month={Jan}, pages={225–238} } @article{the piers plowman electronic archive on the web: an introduction_2014, year={2014} } @inbook{knowles_2011, title={Piers Plowman}, volume={2}, number={Supplement}, booktitle={New Catholic Encyclopedia}, publisher={Gale Group, Cengage Publishing}, author={Knowles, J.}, year={2011}, pages={645–647} } @article{knowles_2010, title={Can You Serve?

The article attends in detail to conventional readings that see the apologia as referring to Langland's putative clerical status, to his status as a laboring body under the terms of the 1388 labor statutes, or to his own vocation as a poet and maker of vernacular theology. Establishing significant parallels between Langland and Luther allows the picture of the “Lutheran moment” painted by recent literary historians to be questioned and challenged.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies}, publisher={Duke University Press}, author={Knowles, J.}, year={2010}, month={Oct}, pages={527–557} } @article{can you serve? the theology of service from langland to luther_2010, year={2010} }
