Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sabemos muy bien que cuando se inicia un año todos queremos organizar nuestras vidas y, para una buena organización, una AGENDA es de gran utilidad. Y la razón principal es que se nos pueden presentar muchas actividades cada día, cada semana y cada mes, y confiar solo en nuestra memoria no es recomendable porque podríamos olvidar algo importante al llevar una vida muy ocupada. Con una agenda, la cual podemos ver en diferentes momentos, planificamos las actividades que llevaremos a cabo cada día, semana o mes y nos preparamos mejor de antemano. Por lo tanto, los espacios para cada día pueden aprovecharse para escribir, como en toda agenda, esas actividades frecuentes. Además, siguiendo la GUIA DE LECTURAS DIARIAS que hemos organizado dividiéndola por libros y capítulos, podrás leer la BIBLIA COMPLETA en un año y, si deseas, puedes usar los espacios de cada día para tus pensamientos, reflexiones o meditaciones basadas en la lectura correspondiente. En los espacios donde no hemos puesto la fecha, hemos agregado: NOTAS, para que sean usados para apuntes de interés. También para que escribas esas cosas por las que agradeces a Dios, y para que escribas esas cosas que deseas ver hechas realidad con la ayuda de Dios. Por eso están tituladas: GRACIAS A DIOS POR... Y LE PIDO A DIOS... Además, incluimos espacio suficiente para los contactos: NOMBRE, TELEFONO, E-MAIL. En la actualidad existen muchos métodos de leer la Biblia en un año. En este que presentamos, se dedican siete meses a la lectura del Antiguo Testamento y cinco meses al Nuevo Testamento. Esperamos que esta AGENDA BIBLICA CON UNA GUIA DE LECTURAS DIARIAS sea de mucha utilidad a todos aquellos que se inician o que han estado en el camino del crecimiento espiritual. Felicidades por organizar tu vida y te deseamos todo lo mejor: salud, amor, paz, prosperidad y...todo aquello que anhela tu corazón. Que Dios te bendiga ricamente. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ARIAS, Con una Licenciatura en Teología y una Maestría y Doctorado en Educación Cristiana.

Download or read book Ascetica written by Elizabeth A. Livingstone and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1993 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 1991 (see also Studia Patristica 24, 26, 27 and 28). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

Download or read book Scripture written by Michael J. Gorman and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Bible introductions are the product of a single person or present only one perspective. Written by and for people from a variety of faith traditions, this distinctive introduction represents the work of fifteen Protestant and Catholic scholars--all members of the same theological faculty, but representing a diversity of backgrounds and approaches. Part I introduces the Bible itself: its library-like character; its geography, history, and archaeology; the books of each Testament; important noncanonical books; the Bible's various Jewish and Christian forms; and its transmission and translation. Part II covers the interpretation of the Bible at various times, in various traditions, and for various reasons: in the premodern period and in the modern and postmodern eras, including recent critical, theological, and ideological approaches; in Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and African-American churches; and for spiritual growth, social justice, and Christian unity. Offering helpful insight into how Christians (and others) have agreed and disagreed in their approaches to the Bible, it provides students with a clear, succinct introduction to Scripture as divine and human word.

Download or read book The Bible and Jews in Medieval Spain written by Norman Roth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible and Jews in Medieval Spain examines the grammatical, exegetical, philosophical and mystical interpretations of the Bible that took place in Spain during the medieval period. The Bible was the foundation of Jewish culture in medieval Spain. Following the scientific analysis of Hebrew grammar which emerged in al-Andalus in the ninth and tenth centuries, biblical exegesis broke free of homiletic interpretation and explored the text on grammatical and contextual terms. While some of the earliest commentary was in Arabic, scholars began using Hebrew more regularly during this period. The first complete biblical commentaries in Hebrew were written by Abraham Ibn ‘Ezra, and this set the standard for the generations that followed. This book analyses the approach and unique contributions of these commentaries, moving on to those of later Christian Spain, including the Qimhi family, Nahmanides and his followers and the esoteric-mystical tradition. Major topics in the commentaries are compared and contrasted. Thus, a unified picture of the whole fabric of Hebrew commentary in medieval Spain emerges. In addition, the book describes the many Spanish Jewish biblical manuscripts that have remained and details the history of printed editions and Spanish translations (for Jews and Christians) by medieval Spanish Jews. This book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval Spain, as well as those interested in the history of religion and cultural history.

Download or read book Cuestiones Fundamentales de la Educaci n Cristiana written by Robert W. Pazmiño and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-07-31 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para evitar la cautividad cultural, los fundamentos de la educacion cristiana deben ser repensados por cada generacion. De no hacerlo, dice el autor, los educadores cristianos «corren el riesgo de perpetuar ideas y practicas anticuadas, ajenas al evangelio». «Al explorar con criterio los diversos fundamentos que han predominado y predominan en el pensamiento evangelico», continua el autor, «los educadores pueden enfrentar mejor las necesidades de hoy y los retos del futuro». En Cuestiones fundamentales de la educacion cristiana, el autor mismo se entrega a este proceso de evaluacion critica, con importantes resultados. El autor llama a los educadores evangelicos a «reafirmar las verdades biblicas», que constituyen la «autoridad esencial para nuestra teoria y practica», y a «incorporar las verdades de otras disciplinas», proceso que tiene que estar «sujeto a la continua autoridad de la Palabra de Dios».

Download or read book The Critical Meaning of the Bible written by Raymond Edward Brown and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 1981 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul, discerning the thoughts of the heart. So proclaims te Epistle to the Hebrews. Yet for many persons the biblical Word of God is less a sharp sword than a crutch, supporting rather than piercing them. Interpreted as they have "always" heard it, scripture tells them exactly what they want to hear. Modern critical investigation of the Bible can change that radically, for now Christians and the churches are being told that the biblical authors did not always mean what they were thought to have meant when read through the spectacles of later interests. Because of its approach, some Protestants and Catholics believe the new biblical criticism is impious. Raymond Brown, a Catholic priest who is Auburn Professor of Biblical Studies at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, argues strongly to the contrary. Critically interpreted, the Bible is all the more critical to Christians and the Church. The challenge of the scriptures is unleashed, "piercing to the division of soul, discerning the thoughts of the heart." - Back cover.

Download or read book The Limits of a Divided Nation with Perspectives from the Bible written by Michael Ufok Udoekpo and published by Resource Publications (CA). This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Udoekpo's work brilliantly and pastorally discusses the issues of conflict, friction, and disunity in the world--and in Nigeria in particular--from biblical, historical, and sociocultural perspectives. These issues, he stresses, are endemic in various fabrics of the Nigerian society, traceable to the family as the foundation of any given society. They are also found in religious, political, and media groups. Contributing factors, Udoekpo argues, are materialism, infidelity, relativism, and fundamentalism. Others are ethnocentrism, anthropocentricism, ignorance, bribery, and corruption with other forms of injustices. Drawing from the Bible, Udoekpo proposes prayer, proper education, truth-telling, restoration of family values, interreligious and cultural dialogue, ecumenism, enforcement of rule of law, faith, and absolute trust in God as antidotes to conflict, violence, friction, and disunity in our contemporary society.

Download or read book Gender Play in the Hebrew Bible written by Amy Kalmanofsky and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the Hebrew Bible often reflects and constructs a world that privileges men, many of its narratives play extensively with the gender norms of the society in which they were written. Drawing from feminist, masculinity and queer studies, Gender-Play in the Hebrew Bible uses close literary analysis to argue that the writers of the Bible intentionally challenge gender norms in order to reveal the dangers of destabilizing societal and theological hierarchies that privilege men and masculinity. This book presents a fascinating argument about the construction and import of gender in the biblical narratives, and will be of great interest to academics in the fields of religion, theology, and Biblical studies as well as gender studies.

Download or read book Acts An Earth Bible Commentary written by Michael Trainor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gospel of Luke presents an ecological symphony that reveals a Jesus connected to Earth. His ministry touches all aspects of creation, human and non-human, and invites disciples into an ecological asceticism. This same spirit continues in the Acts of the Apostles. In this Earth Bible Commentary on Acts, Michael Trainor allows our environmental concerns to shape his interpretative approach, and thus ecological nuances emerge. Luke's household of disciples, imbued with the spirit of the risen Jesus, to embrace the world and bring to it a word of reconciliation, embark on this mission. This formally begins at Pentecost with their reception of God's creative and renewing Spirit that empowers them as Earth's children. From this moment an explosion of activity moves them over Earth's lands, beginning in Jerusalem, Earth's navel (Acts 1.1-8.1), into Samaria, the space in-between that navel and Galilee, the garden of God's earthly delights (Acts 8.2-11.17), to the ends of Earth, Rome (Acts 11.18-28.33). As we trace Luke's vast geographical journey around the Mediterranean, key moments highlight fresh environmental insights that offer new hope for contemporary disciples seeking ecological affirmation at this particular time in world history.
