95 Tesis Para La Nueva Generac – (Spanish)
$16.99
Con la intencion de extraer sabiduria de las palabras del gran Martin Lutero, Lucas Magnin nos presenta algunos aspectos de la mision de la iglesia, su doctrina y sus puntos de reflexion teologica en la epoca en que Lutero escribio sus tesis y la implicacion para una nueva generacion de creyentes del siglo XXI que enfrenta nuevos problemas sociales con una dinamica diferente.
Este libro es un ejercicio hermeneutico que quiere acercar a Lutero a nosotros en el siglo XXI, traerlo de este lado de la historia y ponerlo a dialogar con los conflictos actuales de nuestra fe (tan similares y tan diferentes de los de su propia epoca). Vamos a extraer, de esa prolifica cantera que llamamos Martin Lutero, un tesoro invaluable para meditar en las complejidades y las urgencias que tiene el discipulado cristiano actual.
Estas 95 tesis para la nueva generacion procuran extraer la sabiduria que existe en el legado del gran reformador: en su pensamiento y su biografia, en la valentia de sus preguntas y el laberinto de sus respuestas, en sus brillantes aciertos y tambien en sus vergonzosos errores. Lutero como amuleto no nos sirve de mucho; lo necesitamos, mas bien, como un espejo que nos ayude a mirarnos mejor a nosotros mismos y a ver tambien el rostro del Maestro.
95 Theses for the New Generation
With the intention of extracting wisdom from the words of the great Martin Luther, Lucas Magnin presents some aspects of the mission of the church, its doctrine, and theological reflection points at the time when Luther drafted his theses and the implication for a new generation of believers in the twenty-first century who face new social issues and different dynamics.
This book is a hermeneutical exercise that seeks to bring Luther closer to us, presenting him from this side of history and placing him in dialogue with the current conflicts of our faith (so similar and so different from those of his own time). We are going to extract, from that prolific quarry we call Martin Luther, an invaluable treasure for meditating on the complexities and urgencies of Christian discipleship today.
These 95 theses for the new generation seek to extract the wisdom that exists in the legacy of the great reformer: in his thought and his biography, in the courage of his questions and the labyrinth of his answers, in his brilliant successes and also in his shameful mistakes. Luther is of little use to us as an amulet: we need him, rather, as a mirror that helps us to look at ou

Sacrificing The Self
$105.00Description
Acts of martyrdom have been found in nearly all the worlds major religious traditions. Though considered by devotees to be perhaps the most potent expression of religious faith, dying for ones god is also one of the most difficult concepts for modern observers of religion to understand. This is especially true in the West, where martyrdom has all but disappeared and martyrs in other cultures are often viewed skeptically and dismissed as fanatics. This book seeks to foster a greater understanding of these acts of religious devotion by explaining how martyrdom has historically been viewed in the worlds major religions. It provides the first sustained, cross-cultural examination of this fascinating aspect of religious life. Margaret Cormack begins with an introduction that sets out a definition of martyrdom that serves as the point of departure for the rest of the volume. Then, scholars of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam examine martyrdom in specific religious cultures. Spanning 4000 years of history and ranging from Saul in the Hebrew Bible to Sati immolations in present-day India, this book provides a wealth of insight into an often noted but rarely understood cultural phenomenon.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Power Of Pictures In Christian Thought
$41.99Part One considers key philosophical and aesthetic evaluations of literary images and symbols. The power of pictures is widely appreciated, as in the adage ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. Sometimes Christian discourse can be smothered by endless prose, which demands much inferential reasoning. There is, however, a contrary argument. An isolated visual representation can be misleading if it is improperly interpreted. For example, some mystical visions are interpreted as direct instructions from the Holy Spirit, as happened with the Radical Reformers, who advocated the Peasants’ Revolt. Hence theories of symbol, metaphor, and visual representation must be examined Part Two discusses visual representation in the Old Testament, the teaching of Jesus, pictures and analogies in Paul, and the Book of Revelation. This shows the range of authentic visual representations. In contrast to biblical material, we find throughout Christian history abundant examples of misleading imagery which is often passed off as Christian. A notorious example is found in the visual representation and metaphors used by Gnostic writers. Almost as bad are some visual representations used by the medieval mystics, Radical Reformers, and extreme charismatics – all of which lack valid criteria of interpretation, relying instead on subjective conviction. Similarly, sermons and prayers today can be enriched with pictorial images, but some can be misleading and unhelpful for the life of the Church.
