El objetivo de Los Milagros del Reino de Jesús de Nazaret es estudiar el amplio tema de los milagros de Jesús de Nazaret, según se incorporaron en los Evangelios canónicos. Se estudiarán todos los milagros, para explorar las implicaciones y las enseñanzas de esas acciones extraordinarias. Los milagros son ciertamente signos del poder de divino, pero, a la vez, son enseñanzas transformadoras a los discipulos y seguidores originales del Señor. Y esos actos especiales de Jesus tambien se constituyen en mensajes desafiantes para los creyentes a traves de la historia.Esas narraciones de los Milagros; se articulan con gran imaginacion teologica, capacidad de comunicacion y belleza literaria. Son relatos breves muy bien pensados que usan la cotidianidad para transmitir alguna enseñanza y afirmar valores eticos y principios morales. Y esas narraciones propician decisiones fundamentadas en la fe, que superan las expectativas religiosas de la epoca.El analisis de todas las narraciones de milagros del Señor en los evangelios revela que se pueden dividir en cuatro grandes areas de accion divina. La revision de todas esas narraciones identifica que hay milagros de sanidades, de liberacion de endemoniados, de resurreccion de muertos, y de manifestaciones de poder sobre la naturaleza. Esos milagros especiales del Señor tocan no solo individuos, familias, comunidades, sino a la naturaleza misma. El poder del milagro de Jesus no estaba cautivo en las enfermedades personales, sino que tenia la capacidad de llegar a la naturaleza, que era una manera de relacionar su ministerio terrenal del Señor con la naturaleza misma del Dios de la creacion.

Por años se sintió la necesidad de disponer de una presentación concisa y a la vez abarcadora del gran tema de la batalla entre el bien y el mal; es decir, que contuviera en un solo tomo, compacto, los puntos descollantes de toda la historia del conflicto de los siglos entre Dios y Satanas tal como le fuese revelada a la Hna. White. Esta necesidad queda satisfecha mediante el libro que usted tiene en sus manos, el cual fue hecho posible gracias a la seleccion y al agrupamiento, en su orden natural, de ciertas porciones de los relatos concisos que aparecieran en ediciones antiguas, y que por mucho tiempo ya estan fuera de circulacion.

Son incalculables los beneficios que la lectura de esta obra proporcionó a los adventistas que se nutrieron espiritualmente de sus enseñanzas. Además, la eternidad revelará la influencia de los ejemplares que llegaron como obsequio o como prestamo hasta las manos de quienes, sin ser adventistas, fueron guiados e iluminados en sus conceptos mediante sus paginas. Pero las generaciones actuales necesitan conocer las numerosas indicaciones referentes al problema de la educacion, ya sea para si mismos, sus hijos o sus familiares; es para ellos que tambien se brinda esta oportunidad. Y estamos seguros de que esta nueva edicion respondera ampliamente a todas esas necesidades.

Un texto desafiante, que recupera la memoria ancestral de aquellas mujeres que han trastocado y signado el accionar simbólico del movimiento de Jesús. Elsa Tamez nos presenta esta obra que no pierde vigencia -en una edicion revisada y aumentada- para estos tiempos donde la teologia feminista esta cargada de urgencias y sororidad ante la realidad de miles de mujeres en vulnerabilidad. Cualquier semejanza con la actualidad NO ES pura coincidencia. En momentos en que la polemica sobre la discriminacion hacia la mujer, los femicidios, y el odio de un patriarcado hostil y en decadencia, parece saltar las tapias de las iglesias y llegar hasta las propias Sagradas Escrituras, la teologa mexicana Elsa Tamez presenta una invitacion para conocer de una manera mas intima y desprejuiciada a las mujeres que siguieron a Jesus. Mujeres que amaron y desafiaron una epoca. Mujeres anonimas que lucharon y resistieron. Mujeres que fueron discipulas y maestras.Las mujeres en el movimiento de Jesus es una nueva edicion revisada y aumentada de un documentado estudio biblico y de teologia feminista, que tiene la particularidad de estar narrado -con asombrosos giros poeticos- en primera persona por Lidia, una lider cuyo actuar aparece en el libro biblico de Hechos, y que ahora nos da el punto de vista feminista de bellas historias jamas contadas -de tal manera- hasta ahora. El libro tambien esta concebido como una herramienta para motivar a las mujeres de la iglesia de hoy a repensar sus vidas en relacion con su entorno.

Loron Wade brinda una mirada llena de frescura a un tema que muchos pueden catalogar como anticuado, pero que, sin darnos cuenta, sus implicaciones nos alcanzan todos los días. El autor nos dice: "Los Diez Mandamientos no son simplemente una pieza de exhibicion que debe ser colocada en la vitrina de algun museo. Son un caudal de soluciones practicas. Son principios que tienen una aplicacion razonable en la vida diaria de cada uno. Y en su aplicacion esta su comprobacion, porque los resultados positivos no se hacen esperar. Son inmediatos y sumamente satisfactorios".

La obra de Alberto R. Timm sobre el Santuario y los mensajes de los tres ángeles puede ser catalogada como pionera y muy necesaria para nuestra iglesia hoy. Los fundadores del adventismo del séptimo dia vieron en el Santuario y en los mensajes de los tres angeles el corazon de su teologia. De hecho, ambos temas no fueron solo enseñanzas centrales sino tambien elementos que sirvieron de puente, al integrar las doctrinas distintivas de la naciente confesion religiosa a un cuerpo doctrinal unificado.

We Misread the Bible When Women Are Left Out Ignore them, marginalize them, or dismiss them as brief cameosthese have long been common approaches to Christian teaching on the women of the Bible. The result? We miss their significance in the biblical story and, in turn, misunderstand Scripture itself. Scholar Sandra Glahn challenges this pattern, calling readers to recognize how biblical narrative actually works. When we do, we see that women are not incidental to the story but essential to it.In A Womans Place Is in the Story, Glahn models how we can better read stories in their literary context and understand why the original authors included what they did. She reexamines both well-known and neglected passages, such as Tamar and Judah, the Hebrew midwives, Abigail, and the Samaritan woman at the well. Even when they appear briefly, women in Scripture move the plot forward and reveal profound truths about who God is.In this book, youll explore how leaving women out of the biblical story changes the plot and meaning that was intended, how distorting women as they appear in the biblical story affects the way we view women in general, and how misunderstanding how women appear in the story affects the way we view God. Women have always been part of the whole story of God. With A Womans Place Is in the Story, discover how rightly seeing women in the biblical narrative leads to more faithful interpretation and application for the benefit of all Gods people.Its time to tell the whole story.

Everyday Encounters with God Through the Lens of C. S. Lewis For many Christians, the mysticssaints and teachers throughout Christian history who have experienced direct encounters with Godare in a category of their own. We read about the supernatural experiences of biblical figures like Moses, Isaiah, and John, and historical figures like Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila, and John of the Cross, but how can we have spiritual experiences like theirs when our own walks with God feel ordinary and mundane?In The Everyday Mysticism of C. S. Lewis, professor of spiritual formation Gary Selby shows us what the mystics can teach us about everyday spirituality through the eyes of one of the most beloved Christian authors of the last century.C. S. Lewis deeply respected the mystics and thought that their experience truly represented the glory of God breaking into human existence. Lewis believed that in our daily encounters with beauty, we can glimpse the same kind of transcendent union with God that the mystics were given, and that the rich treasures of their tradition could be mined to enrich our day-to-day lives in Christ.What youll find in this book: Practical guidance on spiritual growth and practices like centering prayer and contemplative attention using Lewiss paradigm. How Lewiss work lies at the intersection of experience and theological reflection. A scholarly yet accessible exploration of C. S. Lewiss body of work that illuminates a seldom-analyzed dimension of his thought and writing. Whether you are a lifelong Lewis fan or just discovering his works, youll journey through the influence of the mystical tradition on Lewiss life and work and see how to practice everyday mysticism in the way that Lewis would. With The Everyday Mysticism of C. S. Lewis, experience Lewiss thought in a new way and behold the extraordinary beauty of God in the everyday moments you might be tempted to take for granted.
