Neste livro "Refletindo sobre o purgatório", QUE TEM COMO subtítulo: buscar a santidade através dos Exercícios Espirituais Inacianos. REFLETIREMOS SOBRE: O que é o Purgatório? Afinal, ele existe? E como e? Sera que todos nos, quando morremos, ja estamos plenamente convertidos a Deus? O que acontece com as almas que precisam se purificar? Muitos se perguntam se o Purgatorio realmente existe. Mas, pensemos sinceramente: sera que todas as coisas sujas que acumulamos em nossas vidas se tornaro, de repente, irrelevantes? Bem caro/a leitor, refletiremos neste livro que para a Igreja Catolica, o purgatorio e um estado no qual as almas dos defuntos passam por um processo de purificaço a fim de obter a santidade necessaria para entrar na alegria do Ceu. E a ocasio final que Deus da as pessoas de se habilitarem para a comunho plena com Ele. Assim, o purgatorio e a ultima converso, na morte. O modo de viver de cada pessoa no e irrelevante. A morte no e uma esponja que simplesmente apaga todo o mal feito e o pecado cometido. Raros so os que, na morte, esto de tal forma purificados que podem mergulhar direto na santidade de Deus. A graça de Deus que salva no prescinde da justiça. Quando uma pessoa morre, sua opço de vida torna-se definitiva. Podem existir pessoas que levaram uma vida purissima, tendo morrido na graça e na amizade de Deus, estando totalmente purificadas. A Igreja ensina que tais pessoas seguem imediatamente para o Ceu. No outro extremo desse caso, podem existir aqueles que morreram tendo cometido faltas muito graves, sem terem se arrependido e acolhido o amor misericordioso de Deus. Estes passariam ao estado de auto excluso definitiva da comunho com Deus, chamado de Inferno. Observando as duas situaçes acima, no e dificil perceber que nenhuma delas e a mais comum. O coraço do homem vive constantemente em luta perante suas limitaçes e negaçes em acolher o amor de Deus de forma plena. Em sua carta Spe Salvi, a segunda Enciclica de Bento XVI, que esta dedicada a esperança crist, o Papa Bento XVI reconheceu que na maioria dos homens "perdura no mais profundo da sua essencia uma derradeira abertura interior para a verdade, para o amor, para Deus". Porem, nas opçes concretas da vida, essa abertura para Deus "e sepultada sob repetidos compromissos com o mal: muita sujeira cobre a pureza, da qual, contudo, permanece a sede" (n. 45). Mesmo aqueles que buscam viver a sua vida em amizade com Deus no esto totalmente isentos de apresentar inclinaçes desregradas, falhas em sua constituiço humana, ou seja, caracteristicas incompativeis com a santidade de Deus. Quantas vezes aquilo que chamamos de virtude no e, na verdade, um culto ao proprio "eu"; quantas vezes a prudencia no se revela uma forma de covardia; a virilidade, arrogancia; a parcimonia, avareza; e a caridade, uma forma de esbanjamento. Quantas vezes em nossos coraçes no se instalam egoismo, orgulho, vaidade, negligencia, infidelidade Ento pergunta o Papa Bento: "o que acontece a tais individuos quando comparecem diante do Juiz? Sera que todas as coisas imundas que acumularam na sua vida se tornaro, de repente, irrelevantes?" (n. 44). O Papa Bento tem aqui em mente a questo da justiça. A graça de Deus seu socorro gratuito , que salva o homem, no exclui a justiça. A graça no e uma esponja que apaga tudo que foi feito de mal no mundo, de modo que, ao final, tudo tenha o mesmo valor (n. 44). A compenetraço da graça e da justiça ensina que "o nosso modo de viver no e irrelevante", ou seja, que o mal que cometemos e o pecado dos homens no e simplesmente esquecido.

Cultivating Humility in a Gospel-Centered WayThere are many misconceptions about what it means to be humble. Some think that being humble means hiding your talents and abilities or being weak and inauthentic. But the Bible paints a different picturedefining humility as a self-forgetfulness leading to joy and explaining that it is a life-giving virtue that frees you from the restricting needs of your ego. In Humility: The Joy of Self-Forgetfulness, Gavin Ortlund encourages readers that humility is not just an abstract virtue but a mark of gospel integrity. Ortlund examines humility both on a personal level and in the context of the church, giving examples of ways to cultivate itincluding meditation on the gospel and practicing intentional gratitude. Drawing from Philippians 2 and historical texts such as C. S. Lewiss Mere Christianity and Jonathan Edwardss sermon "A Christian Spirit Is a Humble Spirit," Ortlund defines humility in light of the incarnation and death of Jesus Christ, casting a vision for a gospel-centered, humble life.First Book in the Growing Gospel Integrity Series: Created in partnership with Union School of Theology, with future volumes written by Sinclair B. Ferguson, Joe Rigney, and Conrad Mbewe Written by Gavin Ortlund: Author of Theological Retrieval for Evangelicals: Why We Need Our Past to Have a Future and Finding the Right Hills to Die On: The Case for Theological TriageFor Small Groups and Individual Study: Questions at the end of each chapter encourage small group discussion

This volume gathers the perspectives of teachers in higher education from all over the world on the topic of New Testament scholarship. The goal is to understand and describe the contexts and conditions under which New Testament research is carried out throughout the world. This endeavor should serve as a catalyst for new initiatives and the development of questions that determine the future directions of New Testament scholarship. At the same time, it is intended to raise awareness of the global dimensions of New Testament scholarship, especially in relation to its impact on socio-political debates.The occasion for these reflections are not least the present questions that have been posed with the corona pandemic and have received a focus on the "system relevance" of churches, which is openly questioned by the media. The church and theology must face this challenge. Towards that end, it is important to gather impulses and suggestions for the discipline from a variety of contexts in which different dimensions of context-related New Testament research come to the fore.

In "The Spiritual Works of Leo Tolstoy," a compilation of his philosophical essays, letters, and reflections, Tolstoy delves into profound questions concerning morality, faith, and the essence of a meaningful life. His literary style, characterized by introspective depth and ethical clarity, invites readers to ponder the intricate relationship between spiritual belief and daily existence. Rooted in the context of 19th-century Russian society, Tolstoys work resonates with the existential struggles of individuals seeking purpose amid the challenges of modernity and the moral dilemmas posed by industrialization and materialism. Leo Tolstoy, a towering figure in world literature, was deeply influenced by his own spiritual crises and the experiences of war and peace. His writings frequently reflect his evolution from a successful novelist to a moral philosopher devoted to exploring the nature of love, compassion, and nonviolent resistance. The transformative power of faith profoundly shapes this body of work, showcasing his later abandonment of wealth and societal norms in favor of an ascetic lifestyle that sought to align personal actions with universal moral principles. This collection is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the intersection of literature and spirituality. Tolstoys insights remain strikingly relevant, urging readers to reflect on their own ethical beliefs and the broader implications of their existence. "The Spiritual Works of Leo Tolstoy" serves as a guiding light for those navigating the complexities of the human experience.
