Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller! El tercer transcendental y último volumen en la popular saga internacional “Jesús de Nazaret”, escrito por El Papa, detallando como la historia de la infancia y niñez de Jesús es hoy por hoy aun tan relevante como fue hace dos mil años. En 2007 Joseph Ratzinger publicó su primer libro como Papa Benedicto XVI con el objetivo de “divulgar la figura y el mensaje de Jesús”. En este volumen final El Papa se concentra exclusivamente en los Evangelios que cuentan la vida de Jesús cuando niño. En la raíz de esta historia está la vivencia por la esperanza encontrada con el nacimiento de Jesús y las afirmaciones de entrega y disposición encarnadas en sus padres José y María. Es una historia de anhelos y búsquedas, demostrada por los Tres Reyes Magos en la esperanza de redención traída con el nacimiento de un nuevo rey. Es un testimonio de sacrificio y confianza completa en la sabiduría de Dios visto a través de la fe de Simón, el recto y devoto vecino de Jerusalén, demostrada ante la presencia del Nino Jesús. En ultima instancia, la vida de Jesucristo y su mensaje es una historia actual que habla a la incansable búsqueda del corazón humano por la única verdad que es capaz, por si sola, de llevarnos a un profundo regocijo.
Download or read book Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels 2nd edn written by J B GREEN and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 1849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels is unique among reference books on the Bible, the first volume of its kind since James Hastings published his Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels in 1909. In the more than eight decades since Hastings, our understanding of Jesus, the Evangelists and their world has grown remarkably. New interpretive methods illumined the text, the ever-changing profile of modern culture has put new questions to the Gospels, and our understanding of the Judaism of Jesus's day has advanced in ways that could not have been predicted in Hastings's day. But for many readers of the Gospels the new outlook on the Gospels remains hidden within technical journals and academic monographs. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and lay people desiring in-depth treatment of select topics in an accessible and summary format. The topics range from cross-sectional themes (such as faith, law, Sabbath) to methods of interpretation (such as form criticism, redaction criticism, sociological approaches), from key events (such as the birth, temptation and death of Jesus) to each of the four Gospels as a whole. Some articles - such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic traditions and revolutionary movements at the time of Jesus - provide significant background information to the Gospels. Others reflect recent and less familiar issues in Jesus and Gospel studies, such as divine man, ancient rhetoric and the chreiai. Contemporary concerns of general interest are discusses in articles covering such topics as healing, the demonic and the historical reliability of the Gospels. And for those entrusted with communicating the message of the Gospels, there is an extensive article on preaching from the Gospels. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels presents the fruit of evangelical New Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century - committed to the authority of Scripture, utilising the best of critical methods, and maintaining dialog with contemporary scholarship and challenges facing the church.

This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 873 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aniversario 27 de la investigación bioenergemal ['espiritual']. Patriarcas, profetas, Buda, Jesús, María, José y socios, lamas y Mahoma se disculpan con sus seguidores por el milenario engaño que han promovido. Todas las figuras religiosas se promueven parasitando sueños, provocando en el soñante escenas e imágenes favorables o desfavorables según a ellas les convenga. Sin este recurso, ellas no hubieran podido publicitarse. Dudas como éstas del Concilio Vaticano II quizá propiciaron el biocolapso ['fallecimiento'] de Juan XXIII. No obstante, este libro no es sobre las religiones, sino acerca de quiénes las figuras religiosas, y muchas personas más, fueron y son. ¡Información excepcional!

Download or read book The Childhood of Jesus written by J. M. Coetzee and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an extraordinary new fable from one of the world's greatest living novelists, two-time Booker Prize winner and Nobel Laureate. David is a small boy who comes by boat across the ocean to a new country. He has been separated from his parents, and has lost the piece of paper that would have explained everything. On the boat a stranger named Simon takes it upon himself to look after the boy. On arrival they are assigned new names, new birthdates. They know little Spanish, the language of their new country, and nothing about its customs. They have also suffered a kind of forgetting of old attachments and feelings. They are people without a past. Simon's goal is to find the boy's mother. He feels sure he will know her when he sees her. And David? He wants to find his mother too but he also wants to understand where he is and how he fits in. He is a boy who is always asking questions. The Childhood of Jesus is not like any other novel you have read. This beautiful and surprising fable is about childhood, about destiny, about being an outsider. It is a novel about the riddle of experience itself. J.M. Coetzee was the first author to win the Booker Prize twice and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003. His work includes Waiting for the Barbarians, Life and Times of Michael K, The Master of Petersburg, Disgrace and Diary of a Bad Year. He lives in Adelaide. 'Coetzee is a master we scarcely deserve.' Age 'Coetzee gradually, with great intelligence and skill, brings to extraordinary - possibly divine - life an ostensibly simple story.' Weekend Australian 'A theological and philosophical fable of considerable brilliance, power and wit. Coetzee hasn't done anything as fine and beautifully executed as this since Disgrace.' Canberra Times and Age '[A] quiet, haunting novel...Coetzee's calm, emblematic prose lifts the plot into something redolent with metaphor and mystery...Any statement can become a symbol; every event is suffused with potential revelation; something magical is always present and just out of reach...It's a memorable accomplishment, turning the everyday into the almost everlasting.' Weekend Herald (NZ) 'Double Booker Prize-winner Coetzee's fable has a dream-like, Kafkaesque quality. Are we in some kind of heaven, purgatory or simply another staging post of existence? Clear answers are elusive, but this is a riveting, thought-provoking read and surely Coetzee's best novel since Disgrace more than a decade ago.' Daily Mail 'Written with all of Coetzee's penetrating rigour, it will be an early contender for an unprecedented third Booker prize.' Observer 'The Childhood of Jesus represents a return to the allegorical mode that made him famous...a Kafkaesque version of the nativity story...The Childhood of Jesus does ample justice to his giant reputation: it's richly enigmatic, with regular flashes of Coetzee's piercing intelligence.' Guardian 'The sense of calm, furthered by Coetzee's spare prose, is very unsettling...These are not the horrors of Waiting for the Barbarians, this is the horror of banality.' Independent on Sunday
Download or read book Desmitificaci N de Dogmas y Devociones Cat Licos en Cien a Os de Soledad written by Ernesto Garc a. Uranga and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se podría pensar que vincular la obra maestra Cien años de soledad de Gabriel García Márquez con cuestiones teológicas sería una locura. Sin embargo, en la novela del colombiano -como lo señalara Joaquín Marco en su Estudio introductorio a Cien años de soledad- "Aparecen abundantes elementos religiosos propios de la liturgia católica" que sugieren que no se trata de una simple casualidad; al contrario, todo parece que dichas referencias se dan con toda intención. En el presente trabajo, Ernesto García Uranga toma su lupa y emprende una búsqueda de las referencias a dogmas y devociones católicos presentes en Cien años de soledad. Usando como aval a la Teología histórica para justificar sus argumentos, el investigador se da a la tarea de demostrar que el novelista sudamericano desmitifica, de una manera deliberada, por medio de la parodia, ciertos dogmas y devociones impuestos a los creyentes católicos por el Magisterio de la Iglesia. En este ensayo de ninguna manera se sugiere que dichos dogmas y devociones deben ser eliminados de la cultura religiosa católica; en su lugar, García Uranga deja en claro que, según lo entiende, la verdadera finalidad de la desmitificación que lleva a cabo Gabriel García Márquez en Cien años de soledad es la de conferir a los mencionados dogmas y devociones una interpretación más humana y menos divina a la luz de la justicia social, pues en su forma actual carecen de verdadero significado para el piadoso católico, y, lo que es aún más grave, no encuentran apoyo en las Sagradas Escrituras. "Se requiere", dice el autor de este estudio -citando al decano de la Teología moral católica, profesor Bernard Häring- "de un luto por parte de la Iglesia, de la cabeza y sus miembros, por tantas doctrinas falsas que son constantemente reafirmadas". De lo contrario, si el Vaticano continúa haciendo gala de su terquedad, anteponiendo el Derecho canónico a los Evangelios para la conducción de la Iglesia, se expone a que muchos católicos simplemente le den la espalda. De ahí que sea imprescindible, remata el estudioso, que la Iglesia entienda, como lo puntualiza Leonardo Boff, que "el espíritu de la modernidad no se orienta por la autoridad, sino por la participación". En estos momentos de cambio las ovejas rehúsan permanecer quietas en su redil, ya no se les puede obligar a que crean ciegamente. De ahí que se da por sentado que "Los seres humanos libres" -como indica Mary E. Hines- "tienen el derecho a razones claras por las cuales se les exige creer".

Download or read book Relations and Networks in South African Indian Writing written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writers of Indian origin seldom appear in the South African literary landscape, although the participation of Indian South Africans in the anti-apartheid struggle was anything but insignificant. The collective experiences of violence and the plea for reconciliation that punctuate the rhythms of post-apartheid South Africa delineate a national script in which ethnic, class, and gender affiliations coalesce and patterns of connectedness between diverse communities are forged. Relations and Networks in South African Indian Writing brings the experience of South African Indians to the fore, demonstrating how their search for identity is an integral part of the national scene’s project of connectedness. By exploring how ‘Indianness’ is articulated in the South African national script through the works of contemporary South African Indian writers, such as Aziz Hassim, Ahmed Essop, Farida Karodia, Achmat Dangor, Shamim Sarif, Ronnie Govender, Rubendra Govender, Neelan Govender, Tholsi Mudly, Ashwin Singh, and Imraan Coovadia, along with the prison memoirists Dr Goonam and Fatima Meer, the book offers a theoretical model of South–South subjectivities that is deeply rooted in the Indian Ocean world and its cosmopolitanisms. Relations and Networks demonstrates convincingly the permeability of identity that is the marker of the Indian Ocean space, a space defined by ‘relations and networks’ established within and beyond ethnic, class, and gender categories.

Writings on the Gospel and Letters of John spanned his whole career. In tribute to his life and work, St. Mary's Seminary and University, Baltimore, Maryland, hosted a conference in October 2003, "Life in Abundance." The conference did not focus directly on the work of Brown, but followed his lead in discussing the state of Johannine studies, the relation of John to first-century Judaism, and Johannine theology and issues of interpretation. This volume brings together presentations by scholars on these subjects.

Book excerpt: Imagine Imagine someone with a mind so healthy that he doesn’t need to see a psychiatrist. Ever. Yet that person runs the gauntlet of taunting, mockery and false accusations. People turn against him. Friends disown and desert him. He stands alone. Amazingly, two thousand years after his death, the taunts still fly. Films and books appear with fresh accusations and oh-so-convincing arguments. How can this man be discredited and silenced for once and for all? More to the point, can he? As psychiatrists, we need to speak up. Enough is enough. Shadow us as we examine what we believe to be the most fascinating mind in all of history. Dare you imagine a different reality? And what will this mean in practice? Jesus had greater influence than any other person who ever lived. Yet atheistic detractors often portray him as insane or deranged. Claims gather momentum. Often they are left unchallenged. Is there any basis for such claims? The authors, respected psychiatrists, consider Jesus's words, actions and teaching, and use fascinating insights from psychiatry to make an assessment. We need confidence to weigh up the evidence and reach robust conclusions. The authors enable us to articulate a strong defence of Jesus's mental health. They help us dispel doubts, affirm our faith and present a captivating portrait of Jesus. Foreword by John Lennox Part 1 Showing that Jesus was not mentally ill 1 The mind of Christ through a psychiatrist's eye 2 Out of his mind - was Jesus psychotic? 3 A man of sorrows - did Jesus suffer from any other mental disorder? Part 2 Showing that Jesus had a health mind, proved by the coherence of his words and deeds 4 The test of his character - and the crowds were amazed 5 The test of a consistent life - what evil has he done? I find no crime in him 6 The test of meaningful relationships - encounters that transformed lives 7 The test of adversity - lessons without words in suffering 8 The test of influence - his power to change people Epilogue The test of his claims - who do you say I am?
Download or read book Jesus and the Thoughts of Many Hearts written by Collin Bullard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Gospel of Luke, the aged Simeon foresees the future opposition which Jesus will face (2.34-35) and concludes his ominous oracle with a vivid description of the final outcome of Jesus' ministry: '...so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed' (2.35). Bullard presents an investigation of the narrative and Christological significance of this 'revelation of thoughts' in the ministry of Jesus, especially as this revelation is demonstrated and fulfilled in Jesus' ability to know the thoughts in the hearts of those whom he encounters throughout the Gospel. Bullard first explores a number of potential literary parallels to Jesus' knowledge of thoughts in Greco-Roman and Jewish sources. He then undertakes a narrative- and redaction-critical study which spans the Gospel in order to provide a full description of the 'revelation of thoughts' in Jesus' ministry. What Jesus knows and how he knows it are fundamental features of his identity, governing how he relates to others in the narrative. Yet the issue of whether, or how, Jesus' knowledge of thoughts fits into Luke's overall Christological portrait has been given only superficial attention. Bullard offers an account of the Christological significance of Jesus' knowledge that makes sense of both its internal narrative development and external literary parallels.
