Download or read book Evangelization and Cultural Conflict in Colonial Mexico written by Robert H. Jackson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a study published in the mid-twentieth century, French historian Robert Ricard postulated that the evangelization and conversion of the native populations of Mexico had been rapid and relatively easy. However, different forms of evidence show that the so-called “spiritual conquest” was anything but easy or rapid, and, in fact, natives continued to practice their traditional beliefs alongside Catholicism. Within several decades of initiating the so-called “spiritual conquest,” the campaign to evangelize and convert the native populations, the missionaries faced growing evidence of idolatry or the persistence of traditional religious practices and apostasy, straying from Church teachings. The evidence includes written documents such as inquisition investigations that resulted, for example, in the execution of don Carlos, the native ruler of Tezcoco, on December 1, 1539, or that uncovered evidence of systematic organized resistance to Dominican missionaries in the Sierra Mixteca of Oaxaca. Other forms of evidence include pre-Hispanic religious iconography incorporated into what ostensibly were Christian murals, and pre-Hispanic stones embedded in the churches and convents the missionaries had built. One example of this was the stone with the face of Tláloc at the rear of the Franciscan church Santiago Tlatelolco in Distrito Federal. During the course of some three centuries, missionaries from different Catholic religious orders attempted to convert the native populations of colonial Mexico, with mixed results. Native groups throughout colonial Mexico resisted the imposition of the new religion in overt and covert forms, and incorporated Catholicism into their worldview on their own terms. Native cultural and religious traditions were more flexible than the Iberian Catholic norms introduced by the missionaries. The so-called “spiritual conquest,” a term coined by Ricard, evolved as a cultural war set against the backdrop of the imposition of a foreign colonial regime. The 11 essays in this volume examine the efforts to evangelize the native populations of Mexico, the approaches taken by the missionaries, and native responses. The contributions investigate the interplay between natives and missionaries in central Mexico, and on the southern and northern frontiers of New Spain, and among sedentary and non-sedentary natives. In the end, many natives found little in the new faith to attract them, and resisted the imposition of new religious norms and way of life.

Download or read book El Nacimiento Cristiano Normal written by David Pawson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2013-12-27 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este es un estudio de iniciación al Nuevo Testamento, que trata de revelar una síntesis del énfasis "liberal" en el arrepentimiento, el énfasis "evangélico" en la fe, el "sacramental" en el Bautismo y el "pentecostal" en el Espíritu. Estas "cuatro puertas espirituales" están entonces relacionadas con la conversión y la regeneración. Con tanta frecuencia, la enfermedad espiritual se remonta a una iniciación inadecuada en el Reino. Un mejor nacimiento significa un mayor crecimiento en una vida cristiana sana. David Pawson discute algunos textos bíblicos cruciales y controvertidos, desafiando muchas interpretaciones tradicionales. Él cuestiona la idoneidad del enfoque típico de "oración del pecador" y da consejos prácticos para ayudar a los discípulos potenciales a arrepentirse, creer, ser bautizados y recibir el Espíritu Santo.
Download or read book The Fragment written by William Tronzo and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2009 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The universe may well have begun with an immense act of fragmentation, "the big bang," that sent particles flying in all directions to perform spectacular acts of creation and destruction. The fragment, volatile and unpredictable, is not simply the static part of a once-whole thing but itself something in motion. Drawing upon art history, archaeology, literature, numismatics, philosophy, and film, this book explores the significance of the fragment and addresses the powerful drives that have impelled it into the cultural mainstream.

Book excerpt: "This study demonstrates the previously unrecognised significance of discourses of saintliness for constructions of gender and national identity in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Spanish culture.a Kathy Bacons innovative approach to sainthood leads to fresh readings of texts by Spains three principal realist novelists: La familia de Leon Roch and Nazarin (Benito Perez Galdos, 1878 and 1895), La Regenta (Leopoldo Alas, 1884-85), and Dulce dueno (Emilia Pardo Bazan, 1911).a The author challenges the conventional distinction between anti-clerical and spiritual novels by these writers, and questions previous feminist assumptions about the negative role of religion for female identity.aSainthood emerges as a key theme through which texts grapple with Spains difficult transition to modernity."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misericordia sin velo har&á precisamente eso: desvelar la manera en que se habla de la misericordia de Dios en el Mes&í as desde la primera palabra hebrea de la Biblia, hasta llegar al &ú ltimo cap&í tulo de Malaqu&í as. Al té rmino del a&ñ o, habr&á s entrado al Antiguo Testamento por 365 nuevas puertas, habr&á s visto antiguos versos con nuevos ojos, y habr&á s trazado una red de conexiones por toda la Escritura que nunca antes hab&í as advertido. Comenzar&á s a ver a lo que se refer&í a una persona cuando describi&ó las palabras hebreas como « guiones entre el cielo y la tierra» .Leer la Biblia en una traducci&ó n puede ser como « besar a la novia por sobre el velo» . Cada uno de estos 365 devocionales est&á elaborado con el fin de levantar ese velo muy ligeramente, tocar piel con piel, por as&í decirlo, con el idioma original. No es necesario saber nada de hebreo para beneficiarse de estas meditaciones. No est&á n escritas para ense&ñ arte el idioma de Abraham, Moisé s e Isa&í as, sino para darte una muestra de sus ideas, exponerte a su elocuencia, re&í r con ellos en sus ingeniosos juegos de palabras, para desespa&ñ olizar sus modismos, y, lo que es m&á s importante, para seguir sus trayectorias hasta la predicaci&ó n del Mes&í as y los escritos de sus evangelistas y ap&ó stoles.

Download or read book Ideolog a Constru da written by Fernando Grasa and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Mediterranean construction tradition, sacred architecture has always played a very prominent role, giving rise to the most numerous and best preserved historical buildings prior to the 18th century that have survived. Throughout 5,000 years the visual plot has been shown as the systematic alphabet that Mediterranean cultures have used to write multiple architectural accounts of a sacred and ceremonial nature. We will begin this memory — a true travel notebook — by presenting what the Christian temples of discipline have taught us. Then we travel to Egypt, Rome and finally to Malta and Gozo. The systematicity and similarities in the crystallization of the ideological discourse were incredible and we invite the reader to verify those teachings. To facilitate this, the text includes more than 360 sketches and 300 images of more than 200 buildings belonging to 17 countries.

Book excerpt: Miles de millones de seres humanos alrededor del mundo, han hablado de estar esperando la segunda venida de Cristo Jesus desde hace siglos y milenios. Para ello, han ideado diferentes conceptos de como el Espiritu Santo los pueda hailitar para poder estar preparados y aprobados para cuando dicho evento tome lugar. Muchos han ignorado dichos conceptos, otros los han aceptado. Por alguna razon desconocida para ellos, e inclusive para nosotros hoy; se ha pasado por alto el magno evento que precede a dicha segunda venida. Ese hecho es: Estar preparados para el Inminente Cierre del Tiempo de Gracia! Si fue aprobado antes de dicho cierre, la segunda venida sera para usted, una maravillosa experiencia. Por eso, el mismo Dios en su misericordia a punto de ser retirada, al ver a la humanidad cristiana y a la no cristiana de hoy, errando el camino y hundida en tanta confusion al respecto; ha querido brindar un mapa unico, con puntos claves y con bases simples, solidas y precisas a traves de este libro. Mapa que nos abrira los ojos a una realidad sorprendente en la cual quieras o no, te veras envuelto. Junto al Espiritu Santo;esta sierva desea compartir ese hallazgo con usted, mi querido lector. Porque no queremos que el tiempo de gracia termine y pierda la vida eterna con Jesus, por seguir en la ignorancia. El Gobierno Celestial (Dios), quiere orientarlos correctamente. El diablo quiere confundirlos mediante tantos sistemas y filosofias religiosas. Ante estos dos Poderes, Solo Usted Tiene la Decision Final! Por favor, no ignore las advertencias que con tanto amor y por ultima vez Cristo Jesus les envia a traves de las paginas de este libro.

Nos muestra que la misión está en el centro del gran plan de Dios, no sólo de redención sino también de creación. . . . Nos recuerda que la misión de Dios incluye no sólo la salvación de individuos y la redención de la iglesia, sino también el restablecimiento del reino de Dios de rectitud, de paz y de justicia. . . .Glasser nos llama a recuperar la visión de la misión que corre por toda la Biblia y tomar eso como la base para la motivación y los métodos que usamos en nuestro alcance misionero. --Tomado del “Prologo” por Paul Hiebert
