Das Buch der Bücher ist voller schwieriger und zum Teil brutaler Geschichten. Es geht um Eifersucht und Verrat, Intrigen und Ehebruch, Betrug und Mord. Doch können uns diese Texte heute noch eine «Frohe Botschaft» vermitteln? Haben sie für unsere Zeit eine Bedeutung, die uns zu leben hilft? Pater Anselm Grün und der Psychologe Dr. Bernd Deininger laden mit ihrer Auslegung von Bibelstellen des Alten Testaments ein, sich mit den Gedanken und Gefühlen der Protagonisten, aber auch mit der...

Los ensayos reunidos en este volumen analizan críticamente los elementos conceptuales y prácticas litúrgicas forjadas en las expresiones más diversas de las comunidades de fe. Todos sus autores coinciden en la comprensión holística de la liturgia al señalar que es necesario recuperar la liturgia cristiana como un espacio de creatividad liberadora y salir de la dominación de las nuevas corporaciones musicales evangélicas; que debe tenerse presente que la liturgia es una práctica esencialmente...

Todos quisiéramos ser felices, pero no nos es fácil lograrlo. El problema es que creemos que solo obteniendo más de lo que este mundo nos ofrece, podemos tener la felicidad. El apóstol Pablo tenía una actitud muy diferente. Pablo escribió: «He aprendido a contentarme con lo que tengo. Sé vivir humildemente y sé tener abundancia: En todo y por todo estoy enseñado…» (Fil.4:11-12) El apóstol había aprendido el secreto del contentamiento, cualquiera que fuera su lugar o circunstancia. Dios es la...

The message of the kingdom of God, as brought to us by Christ, is a message that overturns hierarchies, sets free the enslaved, and breaks the power of the curse upon humanity. Yet when it comes to women, the church has chosen all too often to live according to the structures of sin and death, offering them not the good news of Christ, but the curse of Genesis, as their inheritance. In this powerful and challenging text, Ksenija Magda traces the impact of the curse – and the ever-present...

Es gibt Tage, da sind wir einsam, traurig, ängstlich oder verletzt. Wir fühlen uns nicht verstanden, alles scheint schiefzulaufen und in unserem Kopf überwiegen die trüben Gedanken. Auch Pater Anselm Grün kennt diese Gefühle und erlebt in seinen Kursen, wie sehr Menschen darunter leiden. Zusammen mit seinem Mitbruder Ansgar Stüfe hat er für diese unfreundlichen Tage eine spirituelle Trostapotheke zusammengestellt. Dabei rückt Pater Anselm mehr die Heilkraft der Bibel in den Mittelpunkt, während...

La escatología es el estudio de las últimas cosas. Para algunos esto quiere decir solamente «cosas futuras», pero todos estos autores anotan que ya viviemos en una época de cumplimiento inicial de las promesas acerca del Mesías, Jesús. Estamos en un mundo donde la escatología ya está presente.Este libro participa en el debate de la escatología con un enfoque en el milenio y el más allá. Estos asuntos tienen que ver con la pregunta de si habrá un reino futuro intermedio sobre la tierra para que...

Los profetas del Antiguo Testamento fueron, sin duda, hombres inspirados y con una clara conciencia de que Dios era quien les hablaba y se consideraban ser portavoces del Señor. Fueron también hombres públicos que en el cumplimiento del deber de transmitir la palabra de Dios estaban en contacto con la gente. Cumplían su función no en lugares de retiro o reflexión, ni en los espacios limitados del templo sino en la calle y en la plaza pública. Es decir, en los lugares donde las personas solían...

No se puede resolver una crisis si no se profundiza en ella lo suficiente como para comprenderla. El escándalo del abuso al interior de la Iglesia –de poder, de conciencia y sexual– ha alcanzado una escala planetaria y da cuenta ya no solo de pecados y delitos individuales, sino sobre todo de paradigmas, sistemas, estructuras e instituciones que han facilitado la comisión del abuso, su ocultamiento o su impunidad. Este volumen incluye el testimonio de víctimas y la reflexión de numerosos...

Todos anhelamos vivir la vida de la mejor forma combinando la libertad y la espontaneidad con propósito y significado. ¿Por qué entonces, a menudo vivimos nuestras vidas de manera tan monótona, con poca aventura, o de forma tan rutinaria; y si no, de forma frenética, saturados de actividades, pero carentes de propósito? ¿Cómo aprendemos a tomar riesgos, a confiar, andar en integridad y excelencia? En este clásico espiritual, Eugene Peterson ofrece sus profundas reflexiones sobre la vida del...

How music makes worship and how worship makes music in Evangelical churches [b][/b]Music is a nearly universal feature of congregational worship in American churches. Congregational singing is so ingrained in the experience of being at church that it is often misunderstood to be synonymous with worship. For those who assume responsibility for making music for congregational use, the relationship between music and worship is both promising and perilous – promise in the power of musical...

How do these issues intersect? The relationship between Christian religious discourse, incest, and eating disorders reveals an important, and so far unexamined, psychosocial phenomenon. Drawing from interviews with incest survivors whose sexual and religious backgrounds are intimately connected with their...

Despite the dominance of scientific explanation in the modern world, at the beginning of the twenty-first century faith in miracles remains strong, particularly in resurgent forms of traditional religion. In Miracles , David L. Weddle examines how five religious traditions—Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam—understand miracles, considering how they express popular enthusiasm for wondrous tales, how they provoke official regulation because of their potential...

Calvin Smith Award presented by the Southern Conference on African American Studies, Inc. 2014 Honorable Mention for the Distinguished Book Award presented by the American Sociological Association's Sociology of Religion Section Conventional wisdom holds that Christians, as members of a“universal” religion, all believe more or less the same thingswhen it comes to their faith.

Sex. Religion. There is no denying that these two subjects are among the most provocative in American public life. Even the constitutional principle of church-state separation seems to give way when it comes to sex: the Supreme Court draws on theology as readily as it draws on case law when rendering decisions that touch on sexuality.In this compelling and carefully argued study, Janet R. Jakobsen and Ann Pellegrini examine this powerful and disturbing connection as they explore the reasons why...

Set up as a counter-narrative to religious conservatism, the book offers readers a deeper...

Conventional wisdom says that integration into the global marketplace tends to weaken the power of traditional faith in developing countries. But, as Meera Nanda argues in this path-breaking book, this is hardly the case in today’s India. Against expectations of growing secularism, India has instead seen a remarkable intertwining of Hinduism and neoliberal ideology, spurred on by a growing capitalist class. It is this “State-Temple-Corporate Complex,” she claims,...
