Book excerpt: En Creer y razonar , Arturo I. Rojas, pone de manifiesto sus capacidades de pensar con criticidad e inteligencia, así como de análisis y comunicación; además de revelar su serio compromiso con la academia y la iglesia local. Arturo Ivan Rojas desea llegar a sus lectores en el contexto de la vida devocional con una obra muy seria, de reflexión teológica y pastoral, que revela piedad e intelecto. El nuevo escrito del pastor Rojas desea llegar con fuerza al corazón de los creyentes, mediante una serie de meditaciones y reflexiones diarias. Y esa metodología, que incentiva el crecimiento espiritual, también promueve el análisis ponderado y crítico de la fe cristiana. De igual importancia es el espíritu apologético que presupone y se presenta en las reflexiones. Esta actitud es la presentación sobria y sabia de los grandes valores cristianos, que son relevantes y útiles para vivir la fe en medio de las realidades cotidianas del siglo xxi . Es la explicación de la naturaleza cristiana a los desafíos que le presentan al mensaje de Jesús nuestras sociedades pluralistas, secularizadas, materialistas y postmodernas.

This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflexiones cortas para cada día del año. He aquí una obra devocional diferente, escrita para aquellos cristianos con inquietudes intelectuales que no quieren únicamente nutrir su espíritu y enriquecer su vida cristiana, sino también edificar su mente adquiriendo razones sólidas para la defensa de su fe. Ejerciendo la recomendación paulina de someterlo todo a prueba y aferrarse a lo bueno, el autor "entresaca lo precioso de lo vil" (Jer. 15:19 RVR) en sentencias y reflexiones ajenas a las Escrituras y provenientes de muy diversos contextos culturales; identificando el elemento de veracidad presente en muchas de ellas, al evaluarlas a la luz del criterio bíblico. Un libro que puede encuadrarse en la tradición cristiana alejandrina que considera que Dios se revela también de cierto modo a los cultos paganos, en muchas de sus construcciones culturales y aún a pesar de ellos mismos. Bajo esta convicción, el autor somete sin temor muchas afirmaciones representativas de la cultura secular a la norma bíblica, encontrando muchos puntos de contacto entre ellas que esclarecen y reafirman las enseñanzas bíblicas clásicas de una manera razonable, coherente y actual. Recomendada ampliamente para cristianos a los que les guste meditar y pensar, y para toda persona, medianamente culta, que opina que la doctrina cristiana puede ser expresada con sencillez y altura intelectual al mismo tiempo. No en vano dijo el fundador de CLIE, Samuel Vila que: "Una fe razonada es una fe más firme".
Download or read book Creer y comprender 365 reflexiones para un cristianismo integral written by Arturo I. Rojas Ruiz and published by Editorial CLIE. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflexiones cortas para cada día del año. Si de acuerdo con lo que nos dice el diccionario entendemos por "novedad" la acción de causar extrañeza al aportar algo no esperado, ciertamente, este libro es una NOVEDAD en todos los aspectos, de la primera a la última página, ya que al examinarlo, va uno de sorpresa en sorpresa. Como bien afirma con respecto al mismo el Dr. Alfonso Ropero, director editorial de CLIE: "cada página es una agradable y retadora sorpresa sobre una multitud de temas que impresionan nuestras mentes, pero cuyo contenido no siempre tenemos tiempo de valorar, y que el autor trata desde la fe y la razón que se alimentan de la Escritura: creer para comprender, comprender y creer". La primera sorpresa la encontramos ya en el título: "CREER Y COMPRENDER: 365 reflexiones para un cristianismo integral". El epígrafe "CREER Y COMPRENDER" nos inclina a pensar que se trata de una obra de apologética, pero el subtítulo, nos invita a identificarlo más bien como un devocional. ¿Cuál de las dos cosas? ¡Ambas, y muchas más! Porque las 365 reflexiones que se nos ofrecen en estas páginas, son un verdadero manjar espiritual con el que vigorizar nuestras almas frente a las inquietudes del mundo que nos rodea; un poderoso ansiolítico con el que aliviarnos de los vértigos de la vida moderna; una eficaz vacuna con la que proteger nuestra mente de las numerosas dudas que la acosan; y una fuente cristalina de inspiración celestial con la que elevar nuestro espíritu al plano superior. Estamos, pues, ante un texto académico que convive entrelazado con un devocional bajo una misma tapa. Un libro de apologética, un comentario bíblico, un compendio doctrinal, un tratado de eclesiología, un sumario de ética, un manual de autoayuda, una obra de referencia y consulta; todo ello combinado en un mismo volumen, con tanto acierto, habilidad y eficacia, que deja sorprendido al más veterano y experto bibliófilo.

Download or read book A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish written by John Butt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dussel (ethics, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico) shows how North American and European philosophies have failed to give historically faithful analysis of the genesis of the "myth" of modernity, and have never engaged in a serious questioning of their own Eurocentric presuppositions. He contends that North American and European philosophers have fallen into a false belief that there is a linear sequence that moves from the premodern to the modern, developed, and industrialized.

Download or read book Emotion and the Arts written by Mette Hjort and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-09-04 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only work of its kind, this exciting collection assembles a number of analytically minded philosophers, psychologists, and literary theorists, all of whom seek to provide fine-grained accounts of critical problems having to do with emotion and art. How best to explain emotions produced by works of art? What goes on when we feel emotion for an abstract art such as music? How is it that we can intelligibly feel emotion for persons and situations that we know are fictional? What is involved in our empathic experience of negative emotion through the art of tragedy? A strongly interdisciplinary volume that captures the richness of current debates about the role of agency in human emotional response, this collection also considers the influence of culture on emotion and demonstrates that cognitivist and social- constructivist perspectives need not be antagonistic and may actually work together in a complementary way. Essays cluster under four rubrics--"The Paradox of Fiction", "Emotion and its Expression through Art", "The Rationality of Emotional Responses to Art", and "The Value of Emotion"--and together they address questions of emotion in film, painting, music, dance, literature, and theater. With new work by leading thinkers in the field of aesthetics, and drawing upon state of the art scholarship from areas such as cognitive science, literary studies, and contemporary ethics, Emotion and the Arts is essential reading for those who study aesthetics, literature, theories of emotion, and the mind.
