Book excerpt: Cuando crei y recibi a Cristo, como mi Salvador y Senor, no tenia una comprension clara de como leer la Biblia, o de donde empezar a leerla. Asi que basandome en lo que habia aprendido en este mundo, en la escuela, por ejemplo, empece a leer la Biblia desde el principio, desde el libro del Genesis. Despues de todo, eso es lo que aprendi en la escuela, un libro se empieza a leer desde el principio. Las historias del Antiguo Testamento me fascinaban, eran mejores y mas emocionantes para mi que las ensenanzas y mandamientos de Jesus en el Nuevo Testamento. Lo que no entendia, y lo que no me ensenaron, fue que yo habia creido y recibido a Jesucristo como mi Salvador y Senor. Que ahora era su seguidor, su discipulo, su siervo. Y como su siervo, yo tenia que empezar a leer del Nuevo Testamento primero, para empezar a aprender las ensenanzas, instrucciones y mandamientos de mi Senor, lo que el queria que ahora yo hiciera, y asi, empezar a ser obediente a su palabra. No sabia que tambien era un mandamiento de nuestro Padre Celestial, que nos dice en Hechos 3, 22-23, que debemos empezar a leer del Nuevo Testamento, para poder hacer lo que Jesus ahora nos dice que hagamos. En el Nuevo Testamento, Jesus comienza a ensenarnos, sus nuevas leyes, y lo diferente de las antiguas, las que todavia debemos obedecer y hacer, y las que ya no hacemos. Por ejemplo, la ley del ojo por ojo, o diente por diente, y otras que estan escritas en Mateo 5, 21-47. Otras como la circuncision, el dia septimo, sobre los sacrificios de animales, que clase de animales podemos comer ahora, y muchas mas. Tambien aprendi que otra razon por la que empezamos a leer del Nuevo Testamento, es para podamos entender lo que realmente Dios requiere de nosotros, para convertirnos en verdaderos cristianos, o en unos verdaderos seguidores de Cristo. Para crecer espiritualmente, para desarrollar una relacion intima con Dios, y para estar completamente equipado para servirle. Tambien aprendi que a diferencia del Antiguo Testamento, Dios nos ha dado a cada uno de nosotros, los que ahora seguimos a su hijo Jesus, su Espiritu Santo, para ayudarnos y guiarnos en cada paso de nuestra vida espiritual con Cristo. Y asi poder vivir la vida santa que el ahora quiere que vivamos hasta el final, o hasta que Jesus vuelva.

La Asamblea se reunió según a la convocación, el 1 de julio de 1643, en la Iglesia de Westminster. El Dr. William Twisse, Presidente, predicó el sermón de apertura tomado de la promesa preciosa de Cristo, No os dejaré huérfanos. Estas palabras eran como manzanas de oro con figuras de plata, en aquellos tiempos de confusión triste. Una semana después volvieron a reunirse, cuando el juramento fue administrado a cada miembro presente, en las palabras siguientes: Yo, -- --, declaro solemne y seriamente, ante la presencia del Dios Todopoderoso, que en esta Asamblea, de la cual yo soy un miembro, no mantendré nada en asuntos de doctrina, más de lo que yo creo en mi conciencia ser verdad; o en puntos de disciplina, más de lo que yo conciba que conduzca más para la gloria de Dios, y para el bien y la paz de Su Iglesia. Este juramento se leyó todos los lunes por la mañana para refrescar la memoria y revivir la conciencia.

Book excerpt: Durante siglos, la iglesia ha sido influenciada por diversas filosofías, visiones del mundo y doctrinas de demonios. En este libro, el Dr. Morgan expone algunas de esas influencias destructivas y ayuda al cuerpo de Cristo a volver a la auténtica fe y práctica bíblica. Al estar dispuestos a ser restaurados a la "fe que una vez se entregó a los Santos", el Espíritu Santo será libre de hacer su obra de llevar el cuerpo de Cristo a la madurez. A medida que se exponen las influencias negativas, nos enfrentamos a opciones. ¿Estamos dispuestos a hacer lo que sea necesario para cambiar tanto a nosotros mismos como a los demás? ¿Aceptamos el "status quo" o obedecemos al espíritu de Dios? El Señor está restaurando la iglesia! Las hojas del olivo son proféticas y prácticas. Te desafiará, te bendecirá y te ayudará a tomar las decisiones correctas. Te inspirará en tu caminar con el Señor, y te dará a la tierra ayuda para "buscar primero el Reino de Dios."

Download or read book El Greco written by Rebecca J. Long and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visually stunning examination of El Greco’s work that considers the artist’s constant reinvention and professional drive Renowned for a singular artistic vision, Domenikos Theotokopoulos, known as El Greco (1541–1614), developed his distinctive painting style as he assiduously pursued professional success. This fresh and engaging survey of El Greco’s work explores varied aspects of the artist’s career—his aesthetic education in Italy, the mixed reception of his mature works in Spain, his uncompromising approach to business, and the baroque logistics of his Toledo workshop—and reveals the depth of El Greco’s astounding ambition. The impressive volume focuses in particular on his 1577–79 altarpiece paintings for the Church of Santo Domingo el Antiguo in Toledo—among them the magnificent Assumption of the Virgin—which heralded the artist’s arrival in Spain after productive periods of formation and re-formation in Crete, Venice, and Rome. Lavishly illustrated and clothbound with gilded edges, this publication features reproductions and scholarly discussions of more than 60 works ranging from large-scale canvases to intimate panels, with essays that elucidate the motives and meanings behind the artist’s constantly changing and inventive approach.

Download or read book The Ground Beneath the Cross written by Kevin F. Burke, SJ and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2000-02-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive analysis of the thought of Ignacio Ellacuría, the Jesuit philosopher-theologian martyred for his work on behalf of Latin America's oppressed peoples. While serving as president of the Jesuit-run University of Central America in the midst of El Salvador's brutal civil war, Ellacuría was also a prolific writer. His advocacy on behalf of the country's persecuted majority provoked the enmity of the Salvadoran political establishment. On November 16, 1989, members of the Salvadoran military entered the university's campus and murdered Ellacuría, along with five other Jesuit priests and two women. Kevin F. Burke, SJ, shows why Ellacuría is significant not only as a martyr but also as a theologian. Ellacuría effectively integrated philosophy, history, anthropology, and sociopolitical analysis into his theological reflections on salvation, spirituality, and the church to create an original contribution to liberation theology. Ellacuría's writings directly address one of the most vexing issues in theology today: can theologians account for the demands arising from both the particularity of their various social-historical situations and also the universal claims of Christian revelation? Burke explains how Ellacuría bases theology in a philosophy of historical reality—the "ground beneath the cross"—and interprets the suffering of "the crucified peoples" in the light of Jesus' crucifixion. Ellacuría thus inserts the theological realities of salvation and transcendence squarely within the course of human events, and he connects these to the Christian mandate to "take the crucified peoples down from their crosses." Placing Ellacuría's thought in the context of historical trends within the Roman Catholic Church, particularly Vatican II and the rise of liberation theology in Latin America, Burke argues that Ellacuría makes a distinctive contribution to contemporary Catholic theology.

Download or read book Liberals Politics and Power written by Vincent C. Peloso and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at the Latin American liberal project during the century of postindependence, this collection of original essays draws attention to an underappreciated dilemma confronting liberals: idealistic visions and fiscal restraints. Liberals, Politics, and Power focuses on the inventiveness of nineteenth-century Latin Americans who applied liberal ideology to the founding and maintenance of new states. The impact of liberalism in Latin America, the contributors show, is best understood against the larger backdrop of struggles that pitted regional demands against the pressures of foreign finance, a powerful church against a decentralized state, and aristocratic desire to retain privilege against rising demands for social mobility. Moving beyond the traditional historiographical division between Eurocentric and dependency theories, the essays attempt to account for a uniquely Latin American liberal ideology and politics by exploring the political dynamics of such countries as Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Peru. Contributors discuss liberal efforts to build a viable legal order through elections and to implement a means of public finance that could fund the states' operations. Essays that span the entire century address issues such as the emergence of caudillos, the role of artisans, and popular participation in elections in light of fiscal, and other, impediments to progress. In their introduction, Vincent C. Peloso and Barbara A. Tenenbaum provide a hemispheric overview of liberalism that illustrates its similarities across Latin America. By exploring the liberal constitutional and economic order lying beneath apparently dictatorial states, this pathbreaking volume underlines the importance of fiscal policy in the fashioning of state power. Liberals, Politics, and Power serves not only as a guide to the liberal principles and practices that governed state formation in nineteenth-century Latin America but also as a means to evaluate the complex relationship between ideas and practical politics.

Download or read book Cultures of Devotion written by Frank Graziano and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish America has produced numerous "folk saints" -- venerated figures regarded as miraculous but not officially recognized by the Catholic Church. Some of these have huge national cults with hundreds -- perhaps millions -- of devotees. In this book Frank Graziano provides the first overview in any language of these saints, offering in-depth studies of the beliefs, rituals, and devotions surrounding seven representative figures. These case studies are illuminated by comparisons to some hundred additional saints from contemporary Spanish America. Among the six primary cases are Difunta Correa, at whose shrines devotees offer bottles of water and used auto parts in commemoration of her tragic death in the Argentinean desert. Gaucho Gil is only one of many gaucho saints, whose characteristic narrative involves political injustice and Robin-Hood crimes on behalf of the exploited people. The widespread cult of the Mexican saint Nino Fidencio is based on faith healing performed by devotees who channel his powers. Nino Compadrito is an elegantly dressed skeleton of a child, whose miraculous powers are derived in part from an Andean belief in the power of the skull of one who has suffered a tragic death. Graziano draws upon site visits and extensive interviews with devotees, archival material, media reports, and documentaries to produce vivid portraits of these fascinating popular movements. In the process he sheds new light on the often fraught relationship between orthodox Catholicism and folk beliefs and on an important and little-studied facet of the dynamic culture of contemporary Spanish America.

Download or read book Gendered Compromises written by Karin Alejandra Rosemblatt and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-06-19 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book, Karin Rosemblatt presents a gendered history of the politics and political compromise that emerged in Chile during the 1930s and 1940s, when reformist popular-front coalitions held power. While other scholars have focused on the economic realignments and novel political pacts that characterized Chilean politics during this era, Rosemblatt explores how gender helped shape Chile's evolving national identity. Rosemblatt examines how and why the aims of feminists, socialists, labor activists, social workers, physicians, and political leaders converged around a shared gender ideology. Tracing the complex negotiations surrounding the implementation of new labor, health, and welfare policies, she shows that professionals in health and welfare agencies sought to regulate gender and sexuality within the working class and to consolidate the male-led nuclear family as the basis of societal stability. Leftists collaborated in these efforts because they felt that strong family bonds would generate a sense of class belonging and help unify the Left, while feminists perceived male familial responsibility as beneficial for women. Diverse actors within civil society thus reworked the norms of masculinity and femininity developed by state agencies and political leaders--even as others challenged those ideals.

Download or read book Radical Gotham written by Tom Goyens and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York City's identity as a cultural and artistic center, as a point of arrival for millions of immigrants sympathetic to anarchist ideas, and as a hub of capitalism made the city a unique and dynamic terrain for anarchist activity. For 150 years, Gotham's cosmopolitan setting created a unique interplay between anarchism's human actors and an urban space that invites constant reinvention. Tom Goyens gathers essays that demonstrate anarchism's endurance as a political and cultural ideology and movement in New York from the 1870s to 2011. The authors cover the gamut of anarchy's emergence in and connection to the city. Some offer important new insights on German, Yiddish, Italian, and Spanish-speaking anarchists. Others explore anarchism's influence on religion, politics, and the visual and performing arts. A concluding essay looks at Occupy Wall Street's roots in New York City's anarchist tradition. Contributors: Allan Antliff, Marcella Bencivenni, Caitlin Casey, Christopher J. Castañeda, Andrew Cornell, Heather Gautney, Tom Goyens, Anne Klejment, Alan W. Moore, Erin Wallace, and Kenyon Zimmer.

Download or read book Mercury Mining and Empire written by Nicholas A. Robins and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-25 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the basis of an examination of the colonial mercury and silver production processes and related labor systems, Mercury, Mining, and Empire explores the effects of mercury pollution in colonial Huancavelica, Peru, and Potosí, in present-day Bolivia. The book presents a multifaceted and interwoven tale of what colonial exploitation of indigenous peoples and resources left in its wake. It is a socio-ecological history that explores the toxic interrelationships between mercury and silver production, urban environments, and the people who lived and worked in them. Nicholas A. Robins tells the story of how native peoples in the region were conscripted into the noxious ranks of foot soldiers of proto-globalism, and how their fate, and that of their communities, was—and still is—chained to it.
