  Theology Today - Vol 48, No.4 - January 1992 - BOOK NOTES - The Bible and the Literary Critic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Nonagenarian Amos Wilder, Hollis Professor of Divinity Emeritus at Harvard Divinity School, poet, scholar, and a marvelous human being, offers us eleven essays, most written in the 1980s.
Wilder is the pioneer student of the poetics of biblical language, and the hallmark of his contribution is his unveiling of the indissoluble linkage between the modalities of language, meaning, and life in a world constructed and lived in through language.
For insights into where we have come from, where we are, where we might be going, and how we must do it, there is much wisdom to gain from The Bible and the Literary Critic, which is vastly more exciting and imaginative than its title suggests.

A ninety year old person; someone whose age is in the nineties.
There seemed to be relatively few octogenarians and nonagenarians alive in the early 1930s.
Nonagenarian derives from Latin nonagenarius, "containing or consisting of ninety," from nonageni-, "ninety each", ultimately from novem, "nine," as in November, originally the ninth month of the old Roman calendar.

In this study, we have assessed any shift in the ApoE genotypes in nonagenarian subjects from Belfast where there is a high intrinsic incidence of cardiovascular disease.
ApoE phenotypes were determined by electrofocusing and immunoblotting in 114 Senieur-approximated subjects >90 years old and compared with 2071 subjects, 30--65 years of age, recruited from the same geographical area by the MONItoring of CArdiovascular trends study group in Belfast (MONICA).

The income tax just turned 90, having become law on October 3, 1913, as part of the Underwood-Simmons Tariff Act.

I remember watching a news clip on television in which a reporter commented rather uncharitably that while the rest of the delegates were grappling with important issues, the Malawian nonagenarian’s main objectives was to prove that he was still alive!
Consequently, when he showed up at the NAM summit, his mere presence was a big news story in its own right.
The report was accompanied by film footage showing the tiny, stooped figure of Banda leaning heavily on a cane, seeming unsure where he was and why he was there.
