"Jesus es el primer hombre que no manifiesta ninguna animosidad frente a lo femenino; esto constituye un acontecimiento historico" (Hanna Wolff). Jesus vino a realizar una revolucion, a cambiar todos los parametros y conceptos que existian en su tiempo respecto a las tradiciones y la religion. Lo hizo de una manera autentica y lo enfrento no con demagogia, sino de la manera mas importante, actuando, dando discursos con acciones que bien analizadas nos muestran una faceta de Jesus que a veces olvidamos, la de un Cristo comprometido con los despreciados y con todos aquellos que de un modo u...

"The truth of the faith, said St Thomas Aquinas, "is diffused throughout Holy Scripture in various ways, and sometimes obscurely. Hence to bring out the truth of the faith from Holy Scripture requires long study and training. But not everyone who needs to know the truth of the faith can devote themselves to study. So a clear summary is needed of the truth set forth in Holy Scripture, so that everyone has the opportunity to believe it. This summary is not an addition to Holy Scripture; rather, it is drawn from Holy Scripture." I could say much the same about this book. Its writing cost me far...

Abraham Kuyper firmly believed that Jesus Christ is King not just of Christians, but of the entire cosmos.

In volume two of Pro Rege, he continues his analysis of the extent to which Christ rules--first in the human heart, then in the life of the church, and continuing to the life of the Christian family. Kuyper believed that it was nonsense to distinguish between life inside and outside of church walls. Here, he shows that although Jesus' kingship has been denied and denigrated, Christ still exerts his power in the world through his people.

In this work, Brian Philip Dunn focuses on the South Indian theologian A. J. Appaswamy's "embodiment theology." This is the first book on Appaswamy, a not insignificant Indian, Christian theologian. This study argues for the distinctive theological voice of Appaswamy who develops a theology strongly influenced by the medieval Hindu theologian (or "bhakti philosopher") Ramanuja, in particular offering a reading of the Gospel of John. Dunn shows how Appaswamy sees the Christian God in Ramanuja's theology and how his theology, particularly about the presence of God in the icon in a temple, can...

Ben F. Meyer once wrote, ""Radical developments generally take place not by someone's seeing something new but by his seeing everything in a new way."" This book is Michael Vicko Zolondek's attempt to bring Meyer's words to fruition. For more than two hundred years, scholars have been debating whether the historical Jesus took up the role of Davidic Messiah. In this book, Zolondek addresses this long-standing question in a fresh and unique way. He challenges a generation of scholarship by arguing that the manner in which it has gone about answering the Davidic messianic question is...

"Jesus asked his disciples, 'Who do people say the Son of Man is?' They responded by repeating what they had heard others say. Jesus then asks them, 'But what about you? Who do you say I am?' Each person has to answer that question for themselves. By examining Jesus' own words, one can easily proclaim with Peter, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of God'."Terry A. Morris This is a must read for any Christian who really wants to understand:1. Who the Lord Jesus Christ was before coming to Earth. 2. Who He was while on the earth - What He did and why He did it. - What He said and why He said it. -...

Recovery of Paul and Luther's theology of the cross has been an enduring legacy of twentieth-century theology, and in our own day the topic has continued to expand as more and more global voices join the conversation. The array of literature produced on the cross and its theological significance can be overwhelming. In this readable and concise introduction, Robert Saler provides an overview of the key motifs present in theologians seeking to understand how the cross of Jesus Christ informs the work of theology, ministry, and activism on behalf of victims of injustice today. He also...

How would our understanding of Jesus change if we abandoned our preconceptions and focussed on his words alone? How would this wisdom compare with that of ancient Israel and the early first-century church? Such questions pose serious difficulties. Everything in the early Christian gospels is either derived from historical memory, or is borrowed, or invented, argues Charles W. Hedrick. Of the many sayings attributed to Christ, historians can only agree on a few as having been spoken by him - and those few are far from certain. In The Wisdom of Jesus, Hedrick overcomes these challenges,...

A Revelation of the Cross is a divine love story that has no end, and is intended to ruin you for anything but God. It is a journey into the heart of God and our hearts, as progressive revelations of the cross of Jesus Christ challenge, humble, and transform us. A Revelation of the Cross declares a God type of love: Big, massive, bold, lavish, like creation-just in the reverse-supernatural suffering, death and sorrow, for the supernatural re-creation of the new man. There is no competition with the cross. There is no compromise at the cross. There is no communion without the...

Athanasius, Bischof der agyptischen Metropole Alexandria (328 373), stand im Zentrum der dogmatischen und kirchenpolitischen Auseinandersetzungen des 4. Jahrhunderts. Als standhafter Vertreter der Beschlusse des Konzils von Nizaa (325) wurde er im griechischen Osten, dem lateinischen Westen und den orientalischen Nationalkirchen verehrt, dabei aber sehr unterschiedlich rezipiert, wie das umfangreiche und bisher kaum erschlossene Corpus der ihm spater zugeschriebenen Schriften zeigt.

In der abendlandischen Rezeption wurde Athanasius gegen die byzantinische Kirche auch zum Zeugen fur...

In our postmodern, pluralistic world, there are plenty of genuinely spiritual people who consider Christ a way to heaven, or even their way to heaven, but who refuse to acknowledge Him as the one and only way for everyone.

In their estimation, anyone who stresses an exclusive, saving faith in Jesus Christ is at the least intolerant and, at worst, completely ignorant. Yet as Rod Rosenbladt shows in this booklet, there are numerous evidences that support the centrality and exclusivity of Christ. He draws on these here to affirm that even in the face of...

Written around 1135 by the Benedictine monk, historian and scholar William of Malmesbury (d. 1143), The Miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary belongs in the first wave of collected miracles of the Virgin, produced by English Benedictine monks in the 1120s and '30s. Only two copies of William's work survive in anything like its complete form, and only one of them represents the finished product. But many of the stories were also transmitted separately, in groups or individually; the systematic use of this evidence is a feature of this new text. Originally written in elegant Latin, this paperback...
