Download or read book 50 A os en la iglesia de Roma written by Charles Chiniquy and published by Chick Publications. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La conversión de Charles Chiniquy, un ex sacerdote católico He aquí la hermosa y conmovedora historia de un sacerdote que no pudo permanecer en la Iglesia Católica Romana. Te reirás y llorarás con Chíniquy, y tu corazón se conmoverá con un profundo deseo de obedecer a Cristo y solamente a Él. Siendo niño, Chíniquy memorizaba las Escrituras en el regazo de su madre y desarrolló un profundo amor a Dios. Al llegar a ser sacerdote, desesperadamente quería poner su confianza plena en su “Iglesia”, pero lo inundaban olas de dudas porque su “Iglesia” profesaba adhesión al Evangelio; sin embargo, lo violaba continuamente. Sus superiores celosos le acusaron falsamente, pero Abraham Lincoln lo defendió y salvó su reputación. Chíniquy prueba que fueron los Jesuitas quienes más tarde asesinaron a Abraham Lincoln y explica por qué. Finalmente, su obispo demandó que desechara su preciosa Biblia y prometiera obediencia ciega a la “Iglesia”. Después de una noche oscura de lucha interior, salió gloriosamente salvo y guió casi a toda la población de St. Anne, Illinois, a confiar solamente en Cristo. Esta es la mejor obra que se haya escrito para mostrar, desde adentro, lo que el Catolicismo realmente es.

Download or read book Vita coaetanea A Contemporary Life Vida coet nea Vida coet nia written by Ramon Llull and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vita coaetanea (A Contemporary Life) is an autobiographical account of Ramon Llull’s life dictated by himself to a friend in 1311 when he was seventy-nine years old. In it Llull reviews his works in the context of a life dedicated to God and motivated by the desire to disseminate the message of the Christian faith among the infidels. Llull, the self-labeled troubadour of books, wrote this account in part as a self-justification of his life and work, in part as self-consolation for his unending toils and travails. It is very likely that he also had in mind the Council of Vienne (1311) which he was about to attend and where he submitted petitions dealing with the establishment of adequate places to study languages for the preaching of the Gospel to every creature and the founding of a Christian military religious order that waged permanent war against the Saracens until the Holy Land is reconquered. Llull wanted to frame these petitions within a well thought-out justificatory account of his life and works that exudes passion, commitment and love for his fellow man. This volume contains the Latin original, as well as translations into Catalan, Spanish, and English.

Download or read book Rediscovering John written by Lesław Daniel Chrupcała and published by Edizioni Terra Santa. This book was released on 2014-05-29T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of dedicating a Festschrift to honor Professor Frédéric Manns on the happy occasion of his 70th birthday came to mind in the autumn of 2011 and work on this project had been continuing ever since. Felicitously achieving this goal, the Faculty of Biblical Sciences and Archaeology (Studium Biblicum Franciscanum) and the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land present this volume to Father Manns with gratitude for his profound scholarship and a lifetime service in the Holy Land. Perusing through Father Manns’ writings, it is easy to see a prominent and distinctive place devoted to the Gospel of John. It seemed therefore suitable to focus on this subject in the Festschrift honoring him: the title, Rediscovering John, relates to Manns’ significant contribution towards the better understanding of the Fourth Gospel. The volume comprises 21 studies authored by renowned scholars from various parts of the world, from different institutions and denominations. While the first half of the studies examines general issues (history of interpretation, textual transmission, intertextuality, theological themes, archaeology), the second half treats literary, narrative and exegetical approaches to particular texts of the Fourth Gospel. We augur that this rich collection will help to stimulate further discussion and reflection on the Gospel of John, as well as constitute an incentive to an already distinguished scholar to continue writing challenging and thought-provoking essays and books. (from the Foreword by the Editor)

Download or read book El P Jaro Escritor written by Manolo Yag E. and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El pájaro escritor es único en su especie: se trata de un hombre diminuto que vive encerrado en una pajarera y se pasa el día, muy a su pesar, escribiendo. El pájaro escritor se compone de trece relatos de sorprendente factura: la conducta insensata de dos ancianos japoneses ante el desastre de Fukushima; un hombre que a todas horas escucha caer una gota y cuya mujer incuba un feto de dos cabezas; un niño que desaparece durante el juego del escondite; un barrendero que vive en el interior de una baldosa por temor a cruzar líneas en el suelo; un padre fallecido que se le aparece a su hijo en la forma de una ridícula..., en fin, mejor que lo lean. Ejemplos de personajes cotidianos o risibles, a los que les sucede por un momento algo extraordinario o simplemente extraño: el arte de la literatura lo transforma en una metáfora de sus vidas. El humor, a veces negro, pero siempre compasivo, está entretejido de forma inevitable con la tragedia o el drama, como nos demuestran estos relatos ingeniosos y de fácil lectura, aunque no simples. Son, muy al contrario, cuentos cargados de profundidad emocional y humana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Reference Grammar of Spanish is a comprehensive handbook on the structure of the Spanish language.

It is designed specifically with English-speaking learners in mind, and contains useful tools such as a glossary of terms, an index, and a detailed examination of different registers of the language. Clearly structured and systematically organised, this volume is set to become the standard guide to the grammar of contemporary Spanish, and will be an invaluable resource for teachers and students, as well as a practical supplement to textbooks and classroom study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the structure of government and society in late colonial Peru is based upon detailed examination of the operation of the viceroyalty of the system of administration by intendants, partly in response to the demands for better provincial government expressed by the Túpac Amaru rebellion. Fisher examines relations between the intendants and other groups of administrators, and brings out the revolutionary implications of their attempts to stimulate municipal life and government and assesses Peru's increasing political and administrative instability upon the application of the viceroyalty of the Constitution of Cádiz.

Download or read book The Resurrection as a Messianic Anticipation written by Carlos Mendoza-Álvarez and published by Juan Manuel Escamilla González Aragón. This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the temptations of the preacher is to make all conversations about grace too “nice”. But a true preacher of grace, like Carlos, knows that this does not help people grow in faith at all. In this book, Carlos continues his ambitious, multi-volume quest to make it possible to live the Christian faith authentically without either dumbing down our intelligence or forcing us into a Stockholm syndrome of speaking “well” while tamping down the realities through which we are really living. Hence, Carlos has put his nets deep into the life experiences of different groups of those who have lost, of those for whom the outrage of death is a constant reality, and who have had to learn a new language in order to speak at all. All this is in service of giving us a sense of how much of a shake-up truly theological faith in the resurrection is when it is discovered on the inside by those who have found themselves caught up in an an-archic uprising of hope. I learned much from this book. –James Alison, priest and theologian. Feast of St Dominic, 2024. The Resurrection as a Messianic Anticipation signals the road ahead for political and liberation theologies. We can and must place our hope in the resurrection even as the world around us continues to collapse, as the specter of global violence escalates, and as the body counts mount. This prescient, scholarly work faces directly the horrors of our time and uncovers a credible theological response among the survivors. It is a must-read. – Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Loyola Marymount University This powerful book calls us to rise up against death and senseless violence. It reclaims resurrection as a communal praxis of indomitable life. It cries out with the victims of history and remembers their radiant hopes of ecstatic transformation. It is revolutionary in the best sense of the word. – Andrew Prevot, author of The Mysticism of Ordinary Life: Theology, Philosophy and Feminism The first part of a trilogy on the idea of tradition, The Resurrection as a Messianic Anticipation, proposes a theology of new life from a postmodern and decolonial perspective. This investigation of the resurrection’s foundational event starts from the analysis of intersubjectivity in our times of extreme violence, based on the creative imagination deployed by the systemic victims. From this existential background, the author offers a creative reading of the Christian faith in the full life of the "Crucified One Awoke" dialoguing with the reason that arises from the social, cultural, and spiritual resistances that dismantle the violence produced by patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism colluded with sacrificial religion. It will be followed by two volumes on the theology of tradition thought as a symbolic resistance and as a political sacramentality of the new world born from the reverse side of hegemonic history where it is possible to listen to the murmur of God thanks to the persons and communities that live the messianic times as a living tradition in constant transformation containing an ethical, political and spiritual task for all humanity. Carlos Mendoza-Álvarez OP is a Mexican theologian. He holds a doctorate in Fundamental Theology from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, where he also obtained his habilitation. His work proposes a Fundamental Theology where the Phenomenology of Subjectivity, Mimetic Theory, and Decolonial Thought converge in dialogue with Social Movements from the Global South. He is a full professor in the Theology Department at Boston College. He has published eight monographs, thirty chapters in collective works, and sixty articles in scientific journals. His books include a trilogy on the idea of revelation: Deus Liberans (Fribourg, 1996), Deus absconditus (Paris, 2011), and Deus ineffabilis (Barcelona, 2015).
