Como Leer El Apocalipsis – (Spanish)
$14.99
La primera palabra de todo el libro es “Apocalipsis”, que queria decir “revelacion”. Esta palabra ha venido a ser, no solamente el titulo de este libro en particular, sino tambien, el nombre que se le da a todo un genero de literatura que resulto comun en los circulos judios unos pocos siglos antes del advenimiento de la fe cristiana.
Los cristianos adoptaron este genero para su propia literatura. El primer caso, y el que le dio nombre a todo el genero apocaliptico, fue el Apocalipsis de Juan. En general, la literatura apocaliptica se enfrenta a la cuestion del sufrimiento de los justos en manos de los injustos, y lo hace empleando un lenguaje altamente simbolico que combina un frecuente uso de la metafora con numeros que reciben significados misteriosos.
Este libro de Justo L. Gonzalez y Catherine Gunsalus Gonzalez explica con gran claridad todo el contexto historico y tambien la exegesis del libro del Apocalipsis; con gran erudicion, pero de forma muy clara y pedagogica, conectando, tambien, nuestras circunstancias semejantes a las del siglo primero. La injusticia y la idolatria todavia se pasean en nuestra sociedad y sobre la faz de la tierra. Por esas razones, resulta ser una gran bendicion el que el Apocalipsis, con sus advertencias aterradoras para quienes prefieren la comodidad y el exito antes que la fidelidad, sea parte de nuestro Nuevo Testamento.
Aqui, dos de los historiadores mas importantes, ofrecen a los lectores un comentario altamente accesible, perfecto para los lideres de estudios biblicos o el propio estudio personal.
Un estudio del libro del Apocalipsis de Juan, como guia para la fe y la practica cristiana. Se explica el libro biblico y explora su significado para vivir con fidelidad hoy.

Jonah
$50.00Add to cartFew parts of the Bible have captured the imagination of individuals in the way that the book of Jonah has. James Lim- burg examines this well known book, keeping several questions in mind: How did the story originate? What is its place in the Bible? How did the New Testament understand the story? How has the story been understood in Judaism and Islam? What might it mean for people today? And what does it have to say about God, about the human condition, and even about God and nature? In reviewing the book, Limburg gives special atten tion to the many contributions of artists, musicians, painters, and sculptors who, he says, may have been the best interpreters of Jonah. He also keeps in mind the literary dimension of the texts and takes great care to follow the divisions of the book as they were defined by Jewish scribal tradition.
