Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este no es un libro sobre cómo hacer el matrimonio más llevadero. No va a hacer que vuestro matrimonio sea más romántico, vuestra vida sexual más apasionada o disminuir el número de vuestras discusiones. No os va a decir "cómo volver a encender la llama del amor perdido". Ofrece pocos consejos sobre cómo mejorar vuestro matrimonio. Este libro explica por qué un matrimonio fiel y comprometido es difícil, por qué es uno de los proyectos más exigentes que se pueden emprender hoy en nuestro mundo. Ofrece una serie de reflexiones, guiadas por la sabiduría de la tradición cristiana, sobre por qué la "dificultad" de un matrimonio comprometido no debería sorprendernos. La respuesta breve es esta: es difícil porque, para la gran mayoría de los cristianos, el matrimonio y la familia son los lugares en los cuales, por la gracia de Dios, se forja su salvación.

La experiencia espiritual se vive cuando Dios se comunica y se presenta mediante el Esp�ritu Santo. Gracias al sacramento del Matrimonio (...) en la vida de la pareja, en los gestos y en las palabras de amor del matrimonio cristiano, Dios est� realmente presente, se comunica con los esposos mismos y con aquellos que, a partir de los hijos, entran en contacto con la pareja. Monse�or Bonetti habla al coraz�n de los c�nyuges partiendo del coraz�n que forja su amor y santidad, el sacramento del Matrimonio, y muestra c�mo la semilla de la santidad sembrada el d�a de la boda, crece y se desarrolla cotidianamente, trayendo frutos a los c�nyuges, a los hijos, ya todos los hombres y mujeres que encuentran este esplendido icono de Dios que la pareja presenta."--Del Prefacio de Cardenal Dionigi Tettamanzi, Arzobispo de Mil�n. Este t�tulo disponible solamente en Espa�ol./This book is written in Spanish only. The Sacrament of Marriage Source of Spirituality Renzo Bonetti In this volume Monsignor Bonetti revisits a theme dear to me and to him: the spirituality of marriage. The spiritual experience is lived when God communicates himself and makes himself present through the Holy Spirit. Thanks to the Sacrament of Matrimony (...) in the life of the couple, in the gestures and words of love of Christian marriage, God is truly present. He communicates with the spouses themselves and with those who, beginning with the children, come into contact with the couple. Monsignor Bonetti speaks to the heart of the spouses starting with the heart that shapes their own love and sanctity, the sacrament of Matrimony, and shows how the seed of holiness sown on their wedding day grows and matures daily, bringing forth fruits to the spouses, their children, and all men and women who encounter this splendid icon of God that the couple makes manifest." &mdashFrom the Preface by Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, Archbishop of Milan.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Reception History of the Bible written by Michael Lieb and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, reception history has become an increasingly important and controversial topic of discussion in biblical studies. Rather than attempting to recover the original meaning of biblical texts, reception history focuses on exploring the history of interpretation. In doing so it locates the dominant historical-critical scholarly paradigm within the history of interpretation, rather than over and above it. At the same time, the breadth of material and hermeneutical issues that reception history engages with questions any narrow understanding of the history of the Bible and its effects on faith communities. The challenge that reception history faces is to explore tradition without either reducing its meaning to what faith communities think is important, or merely offering anthologies of interesting historical interpretations. This major new handbook addresses these matters by presenting reception history as an enterprise (not a method) that questions and understands tradition afresh. The Oxford Handbook of the Reception History of the Bible consciously allows for the interplay of the traditional and the new through a two-part structure. Part I comprises a set of essays surveying the outline, form, and content of twelve key biblical books that have been influential in the history of interpretation. Part II offers a series of in-depth case studies of the interpretation of particular key biblical passages or books with due regard for the specificity of their social, cultural or aesthetic context. These case studies span two millennia of interpretation by readers with widely differing perspectives. Some are at the level of a group response (from Gnostic readings of Genesis, to Post-Holocaust Jewish interpretations of Job); others examine individual approaches to texts (such as Augustine and Pelagius on Romans, or Gandhi on the Sermon on the Mount). Several chapters examine historical moments, such as the 1860 debate over Genesis and evolution, while others look to wider themes such as non-violence or millenarianism. Further chapters study in detail the works of popular figures who have used the Bible to provide inspiration for their creativity, from Dante and Handel, to Bob Dylan and Dan Brown.

Download or read book The Book of Daniel written by E.L. Doctorow and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.

Download or read book The Repeating Island written by Antonio Benitez-Rojo and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second edition of The Repeating Island, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, a master of the historical novel, short story, and critical essay, continues to confront the legacy and myths of colonialism. This co-winner of the 1993 MLA Katherine Singer Kovacs Prize has been expanded to include three entirely new chapters that add a Lacanian perspective and a view of the carnivalesque to an already brilliant interpretive study of Caribbean culture. As he did in the first edition, Benítez-Rojo redefines the Caribbean by drawing on history, economics, sociology, cultural anthropology, psychoanalysis, literary theory, and nonlinear mathematics. His point of departure is chaos theory, which holds that order and disorder are not the antithesis of each other in nature but function as mutually generative phenomena. Benítez-Rojo argues that within the apparent disorder of the Caribbean—the area’s discontinuous landmasses, its different colonial histories, ethnic groups, languages, traditions, and politics—there emerges an “island” of paradoxes that repeats itself and gives shape to an unexpected and complex sociocultural archipelago. Benítez-Rojo illustrates this unique form of identity with powerful readings of texts by Las Casas, Guillén, Carpentier, García Márquez, Walcott, Harris, Buitrago, and Rodríguez Juliá.

Download or read book The Forbidden Religion written by Jose M. Herrou Aragon and published by José M. Herrou Aragón. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the acclaimed Chaos and Genius comes a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the big ideas of the modern era: Information, communication, and information theory. Acclaimed science writer James Gleick presents an eye-opening vision of how our relationship to information has transformed the very nature of human consciousness. A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa’s talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.

Book excerpt: In answer to the persistence of technology, Giallardetz calls for a contemporary Christian spirituality marked by the search for God in our daily engagements and an asceticism that cultivates the paschal rhythms of life and death.
