Download or read book Breve Historia de Jes s de Nazaret written by Francisco Jose Gomez Fernandez and published by Nowtilus. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Éste es un ensayo claro, fácil de leer, al alcance de cualquier interesado, minucioso, por lo detallista, y científico, no basado en elucubraciones, sino en criterios de historicidad. Se exponen todas las teorías, las de base firme y las ficcionales, y el autor se decanta, como es lógico, por aquellas que más le convencen; pero, a diferencia de otros que he visto, la opinión de Francisco José Gómez, se basa en el estudio y la sensatez, no en el afán de sensacionalismo que tanto vende hoy en día." (Web Anika entre libros) "Breve Historia de Jesús de Nazaret, escrito por Francisco José Gómez y publicado por la Editorial Nowtilus dentro de su magistral colección Breve Historia, es un exhaustivo recorrido histórico por la vida de uno de los personajes más fascinantes de todos los tiempos. A lo largo de doscientas cuarenta y ocho páginas que componen este ensayo, desde su nacimiento, cuyas circunstancias siguen siendo un misterio, hasta su muerte y las razones reales de su condena, el lector encontrará un análisis riguroso de las fuentes cristianas, canónicas y apócrifas sobre uno de los personajes que cambió el mundo, los designios de la Humanidad." (Web Comentarios de libros) Hijo de Dios u hombre de carne y hueso, la figura de Jesús de Nazaret ha sido la única capaz de dividir la historia en dos. Sobre su figura se han escrito infinidad de tratados, manuales, crónicas y testimonios, pero aún así, podemos encontrar hoy en día autores que dudan de la existencia de Jesús de Nazaret. Un análisis riguroso, basado en las fuentes más fidedignas y en las investigaciones más novedosas, nunca está de más a la hora de acercarse a un personaje histórico que está presente día a día en la vida de millones de personas. Breve Historia de Jesús de Nazaret intentará sintetizar la vida de este personaje histórico plenamente vigente en la actualidad, para separar así mito de realidad, en el océano de información que existe sobre el hijo de María.
Download or read book A Story of Jesus Life written by Thomas W. Hudgins and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Besides the four canonical gospels, early Christians wrote a number of accounts of various parts of Jesus' life. These accounts have been available to scholars for some time, but now in this accessible story, built from these accounts, any reader can get a picture of Jesus as depicted in these extracanonical writings. This book does not aim to provide a translated text of the gospels; there are other references for that purpose. What it does is gather the stories together and provide a readable, connected narrative referenced to these sources so that readers can became acquainted with the nature of these works and get a context for understanding discussions relating to this material. This will provide an opportunity for students of the gospels to compare the value and validity of the four canonical gospels and these additional stories. It can be a good introduction to looking at the four gospels to develop a clear picture of who Jesus is. The authors are both experts in the languages used and well-acquainted with the historical and narrative elements needed to paint this picture. This book is intended for the serious student of the Bible and of New Testament times but it can benefit those without an advanced background in biblical studies. It is thoroughly referenced to the documents, however, to provide students with the material needed for academic study.
Download or read book Jesus of Nazareth written by Pope Benedict XVI and published by Image. This book was released on 2007-05-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is . . . my personal search ‘for the face of the Lord.’” –Benedict XVI In this bold, momentous work, the Pope––in his first book written as Benedict XVI––seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent “popular” depictions and to restore Jesus’ true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and incites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith. From Jesus of Nazareth: “. . . the great question that will be with us throughout this entire book: But what has Jesus really brought, then, if he has not brought world peace, universal prosperity, and a better world? What has he brought? The answer is very simple: God. He has brought God! He has brought the God who once gradually unveiled his countenance first to Abraham, then to Moses and the prophets, and then in the wisdom literature–the God who showed his face only in Israel, even though he was also honored among the pagans in various shadowy guises. It is this God, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the true God, whom he has brought to the peoples of the earth. He has brought God, and now we know his face, now we can call upon him. Now we know the path that we human beings have to take in this world. Jesus has brought God and with God the truth about where we are going and where we come from: faith, hope, and love.”
Download or read book The Parables of Jesus written by James Montgomery Boice and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Some sections of the Bible give us grand theology. Some move us to grateful responses to God. But the parables break through mere words and make us ask whether there has indeed been any real difference in our lives." In this beloved classic, James Boice takes us systematically through the parables of Jesus, grouping them into five categories: parables of the kingdom, salvation, wisdom and folly, the Christian life, and judgment. In each section Boice brings Jesus' words to bear on life today. Through his careful study and clear explanation of each parable—born from a sermon series he preached at the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, where he pastored for 32 years—he helps us understand just what Jesus meant, and how our hearts and lives ought to respond. Jesus' parables are memorable for a reason. Discover their power for yourself.

This book was released on 2016-04-09 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Shadow of the Father" - one of the most important books of Jan Dobraczynski, is based on the record of the Gospel, the evangelical text. It shows Joseph, the guardian of the Holy Family as a human being subjected to obedience to God and his intentions, a man who must understand and accept his part of being a shadow of the true Father of Jesus who will be born by his Miriam-chosen to him by God. Joseph, a native of Bethlehem, heir to the heritage of kings David and Solomon and the noble tribe of Judah, is up to Nazareth in search of the woman for whom he will sacrifice his life. Over there he meets a charming, friendly, yet mysterious girl named Miriam. However, starting to understand that between Miriam and him stands an impetuous force of abysmal proportions, as God's fist, will make their relationship continue unexpected ways: the One Who will be born and Who will become the liberator of the people scattered and oppressed in Israel.The book gives testimony to the values that never lose their importance: family, responsibility, patience, and true love."
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 John of History Baptist of Faith written by James F. McGrath and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-04 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of the historical Jesus typically reduce John the Baptist to a subordinate role in the story of Christian origins. This meticulous historical study focuses on John himself, revealing his extensive and enduring influence. In the popular imagination, John the Baptist plays the supporting role of Jesus’s unkempt forerunner. But meticulous historical study reveals his wide-reaching and enduring influence on the history of religion. The first study of its kind, John of History, Baptist of Faith sheds light on the historical John the Baptist and his world. James F. McGrath applies historical-critical methodology not only to the New Testament but also to the Mandaean Book of John, a holy text of the last extant gnostic sect. McGrath uses the teachings of John’s pupil, Jesus, as a window into his mentor’s beliefs. Along the way, he brings new clarity to questions of contention among scholars, such as John’s use of immersion as a substitute for temple sacrifice. Bold in its claims yet careful in its method, John of History, Baptist of Faith lends fresh insight into John, Jesus, and their world. McGrath’s pioneering monograph will challenge and intrigue students and scholars of the New Testament and Second Temple Judaism.

Book excerpt: Si elegiste este libro es porque te llamó la atención o tienes la curiosidad de lo que él contiene. Y eso está bien, porque nos habla de una verdad de la cual nadie se atreve a hablar. Ya sea por miedo, inseguridad o ignorancia, las personas no se han interesado en ella o simplemente porque, en ocasiones, esa verdad la están ocultando. Desde el principio, el mundo ha sido envidioso, egoísta y solo unas cuantas personas se quieren beneficiar de los dones que se nos fueron entregados desde el inicio de nuestros tiempos. Los beneficios que hablamos son: bendiciones, protección y sabiduría, solo por mencionar algunos. Los cuales son una herramienta fundamental para encontrar nuestro propósito en esta vida. Pero, ¿por qué no podemos ser lo que Dios ha escrito en nuestro interior? Porque tenemos miedo a saber la verdad, la cual se encuentra escrita en este humilde libro. Leer este libro cambiará tu vida, ya no será la misma; prosperarás y tus sueños se realizarán. Que la gloria de Dios venga a ti. Amén.
Download or read book Freedom and Existence written by Matthew Aaron Tennant and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is theology a dead corpse or living organism? For Uruguayan Jesuit Juan Luis Segundo (1925-1996), theology is dynamic. Freedom and existence for central themes. Segundo believed that theology should be transformative in human lives. For a theology to be transformative, there must be a connection to existence. That is, it must be existential. Yet most scholars have overlooked this assumption in critical analyses of liberation theology. This prima facie connection to existence is distinguishable from existentialism as a school of philosophy. By showing the significant existential dimension to Segundo's theology, assessing his work and contribution to twentieth-century theology relates to freedom, ecumenism, the role of faith in society, and the relationship between faith and ideologies.
