Vida La Muerte Y El Mas Alla A – (Spanish)
$12.99
Alfonso Perez Ranchal en su libro LA VIDA, LA MUERTE Y EL MAS ALLA A TRAVES DE LA BIBLIA, enmarca esos terminos en el concepto de revelacion progresiva indicando con ello que Dios iba dando a conocer su voluntad y propositos conforme el tiempo avanzaba. En esta progresion, el pueblo israelita paso por momentos de gran importancia historica marcados por actuaciones y mensajes divinos. En ocasiones, todo ello significaba nuevas formas de comprender a Dios, en otras, los protagonistas o destinatarios debian hacer toda una nueva reflexion de la historia y de sus propias vidas ante lo que ahora conocian del Creador.
Lamentablemente, esta revelacion progresiva es frecuentemente dejada de lado a la hora de realizar estudios biblicos o en la propia lectura devocional… pero esto puede significar una gran perdida en el entendimiento del texto biblico, y en otros momentos una “sobreinformacion” ya que se trae un conocimiento posterior y, por tanto, desconocido en esa epoca, y desde ahi se explica el pasaje escritural.
El autor afirma que el concepto de la vida, la muerte y el mas alla que se va desplegando en las Escrituras es esencial en cada momento para comprender mucho de lo que alli se expone. Por tanto -nos sigue diciendo el autor- es absolutamente necesario conocer el progreso de las ideas sobre la otra vida para que sirvan de clave para discernir muchos textos del Antiguo Testamento y, como no, del Nuevo. Es mas, me atrevo a decir que estamos ante una clave interpretativa que sirve de llave para la compresion de las Escrituras. Como parte de este recorrido se incluira un periodo esencial como es el intertestamentario que conecta y alumbra al Nuevo Testamento.
Life, Death and Afterlife Throughout the Bible
Alfonso Perez Ranchal in his book LIFE, DEATH AND AFTERLIFE THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, frames these terms in the concept of progressive revelation.
He frames these terms in the concept of progressive revelation, indicating that God was making known His will and purposes as time progressed. In this progression, the Israelite people went through moments of great historical importance marked by divine actions and messages. At times, all this meant new ways of understanding God; at others, the protagonists or recipients had to make a whole new reflection on history and their own lives in the face of what they now knew of the Creator.
Unfortunately, this progressive revelation is often left aside when it comes to biblical studies or in one’s own d

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.

Mosaic Of Atonement
$34.99The Mosaic of Atonement offers a fresh and integrated approach to historic models of atonement.While modern treatments of the doctrine have tended toward either a defensive hierarchy, in which one model is singled out as most important, or a disconnected plurality, in which multiple images are affirmed but with no order of arrangement, this book argues for a reintegration of four famous “pieces” of atonement doctrine through the governing image of Christ-shaped mosaic.Unlike a photograph in which tiny pixels present a seamless blending of color and shape, a mosaic allows each piece to retain its recognizable particularity, while also integrating them in the service of a single larger image. If one stands close, one can identify individual squares of glass or tile that compose the greater picture. And if one steps back, there is the larger picture to be admired. Yet in the great mosaics of age-old Christian churches, the goal is not for viewers to construct the image, as in a puzzle, but to appreciate it.So too with this mosaic of atonement doctrine. While no one model is set above or against the others, the book notes particular ways in which the “pieces”–the feet, heart, head, and hands–mutually support one another to form a more holistic vision of Christ’s work. “This is my body,” Jesus said to his followers, and by reintegrating these oft-dismembered aspects of atonement, we will note fresh ways in which it was given for us.
