Ambrosiaster ("Star of Ambrose") is the name given to the anonymous author of the earliest complete Latin commentary on the thirteen epistles of Paul. The commentaries were thought to have been written by Ambrose throughout the Middle Ages, but their authorship was challenged by Erasmus, whose arguments have proved decisive.Here for the first time Ambrosiasters commentaries on Romans and the Corinthian correspondence are made available in English translation, ably translated and edited by Gerald L. Bray.The commentaries, which serve as important witnesses to pre-Vulgate Latin versions of Pauls epistles, are noteworthy in other respects as well. Ambrosiaster was a careful and thoughtful interpreter, with little use for allegory, though he employed typology judiciously. Writing during the pontificate of Damasus (366-384), he is a witness to Nicene orthodoxy and frequently comments on themes related to the Trinity, the consubstantiality of the Son, the problem of the unbelief of the Jews and the nature of human sinfulness. He had a keen eye for moral issues and often offers comments that reflect his knowledge of how the church had changed from the time of the apostles to his own day.This commentary offers a rich repository of insight into the thinking of pre-Reformation church leaders for the leaders and teachers of the church today.Ancient Christian Texts are new English translations of full-length commentaries or sermon series from ancient Christian authors that allow you to study key writings of the early church fathers in a fresh way.

Enduring Hope: Ethnographic Insights into Long-Term Racial Justice AdvocacyMany White Christians feel convicted when they hear of racial injustice but arent sure what they can do. They often become overwhelmed by deep divisions, conflicting priorities, and historical burdens. They need a clearer vision for engagement with racial justice and reconciliation that goes beyond easy answers or simplistic optimism. Isnt there anyone who has found a way forward?Anthropologist Christine Jeske has studied precisely this question. Her one-of-a-kind research started by asking people of color about their work and experience with White advocates of racial justice. She then studied the postures, ideas, and actions of those they recommended as positive examples.In Racial Justice for the Long Haul, Jeske presents her findings on what makes for an effective, enduring approach, revealing shared threads in the lives of White Christians who have faithfully embraced the call to advocate for justice. By abandoning simplistic answers and confronting the depths of suffering and injustice, they discover a bold way of hope that perseveres. This book features a unique methodology of interviews with Christian leaders of color and White advocates makes qualitative ethnographic research accessible, and provides concrete examples of how White Christians can growand persistin working for racial justice. This book invites readers to engage deeply, reflect thoughtfully, and grow authentically as allies in the work of racial justice. White Christians must learn the nature of true hope as they encounter the depths of injustice and of lamentand of grace. Racial Justice for the Long Haul offers the clarity, inspiration, and tools needed to persevere in the pursuit of a more just world.

Durante siglos, la filosofía se ha centrado en comprender el conocimiento, la verdad y la realidad. Mientras que abundan explicaciones y análisis sobre los casos en los que el conocimiento es exitoso, se han dejado de lado fenomenos epistemologicos negativos tales como la ignorancia, la ilusion o el engaño, a pesar de nuestra evidente falibilidad. Sentido, sinsentido y subjetividad propone una teoria del pensamiento falso, mostrando que la equivocacion es parte constitutiva de la subjetividad y que quien desea conocer, incluso en sus aciertos, nunca esta libre de error. Frente a la tradicion que concibe la subjetividad como autorrepresentacion consciente e infalible, Gabriel propone una teoria que busca explicar como y por que captamos la realidad de manera erronea. Ser alguien, aboga el autor, implica estar equivocado sobre algo. Este libro plantea una reflexion actual sobre la fragilidad del conocimiento, en tiempos donde lo verdadero y lo falso tienden a confundirse. Su apuesta, sin sucumbir a algun tipo de pesimismo o nihilismo, es que debemos liberarnos de la ilusion de una sociedad libre de ilusiones.

Junto con Sabiduría, el libro de Ben Sira constituye el punto final de la tradición literaria del Antiguo Testamento. A pesar de su carácter deuterocanónico, ha dejado una profunda huella en la teologia y la piedad tanto cristianas como judias. Los manuscritos hebreos de Ben Sira gozan ya de una añeja y solida historia, aunque esta empezo relativamente hace poco tiempo, a finales del siglo XIX. Hasta esas fechas, el estudioso de la Biblia solo contaba con el testimonio de las versiones antiguas. Sin embargo, existian noticias y sospechas de un original hebreo, como se deduce del prologo del libro y de las citas de algunas obras rabinicas. La obra de Ben Sira sorprende y atrae por su equilibrada sensatez y la perspicacia de su autor, sus dotes de analista de las relaciones sociales, su capacidad de penetracion en los entresijos del alma humana y, sobre todo, su profundo espiritu religioso. Sus momentaneos arranques nacionalistas y su dureza al censurar determinados tipos de conducta humana no empañan del todo el conjunto de su propuesta educativa, que va dirigida al ser humano, en sus dimensiones individual y social.

En Cristianismos antiguos, Paula Fredriksen ofrece una mirada renovada sobre los orígenes del cristianismo en el mundo mediterráneo.A través de una exposición temática, examina cómo los primeros movimientos en torno a Jesus se transformaron, entre tensiones y diversidad, en una religion imperial. Combinando fuentes canonicas y no canonicas, textos, arqueologia e historia social, Fredriksen reconstruye la compleja trama de ideas, practicas y disputas que dieron forma a los multiples cristianismos de los siglos I al V, mostrando su profunda imbricacion en la cultura del Imperio romano.

In the midst of overwhelming or lingering grief, sometimes the only comfort is knowing that youre not alone. This courageously honest, beautifully designed book offers solace through shared stories of loss. Our grief is our own, as unique as a fingerprint, as fragile as a snowflake. Yet others have crawled through this same valley, stumbling blindly under the shadow of death. In the pages of this exquisite book of stories, meditations, and art, you will meet fellow mourners: presidents and poets; scientists and theologians; writers and filmmakers; artists and musicians; homebodies and wanderers. They, too, wrestled with questions known to all who grieve: Why did this happen? Where are my loved ones now? How can I go on? The 27 meditations in A Hope Observed offer a chance to understand loss and find meaning in our lives ahead. Bereaved father David Bannon weaves his own story into the stories of others, sharing his struggles with doubt, regret, and unanswerable questions. Each days meditation includes Scripture, a reflection prompt, and a work of art that expresses sorrow and love in surprising ways. Bannon also explores startling advances in grief therapy that confirm our suspicions: our dead are with God even as we feel them near; we are not crazy; our grief is normal, healthy, and expected. A Hope Observed is unflinchingly honest, revealing how loss can cause even the strongest person to lose their bearings completely, with no "ending point" in sight. Yet, there is a quiet hope that comes in the company of others, and a light that begins to appear as we realize that grief is love, and the One who walks with us knows our sorrows. A Hope Observed uncovers a bedrock truth: There is nothing we can say that God does not understand. There is nothing we can say that God does not want to hear.

Exercitationes paradoxicae es la primera obra de Pierre Gassendi. Se publicó el libro primero en 1624 y el segundo en 1658. Esta obra supone una voraz crítica a la filosofía aristotélica e incluso a la figura del propio Aristoteles y es uno de los primeros intentos para sustituir la obsoleta ciencia escolastica por una nueva ciencia fundada en la experiencia, algo en lo que tambien destacaron Rene Descartes y Galileo Galilei. Esta es la primera vez que esta obra se traduce al español.

"This book is a gift to all parents trying to navigate the complexity of raising children in todays world. ... I wish I could make this book required reading for every parent." - Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel WomenHow can you raise your children to not just to survive but to thrive in a world filled with complex and confusing conversations about gender, sexuality, and relationships? Navigating the birds and bees is challenging enough for parents. Kids today are faced with all sorts of complex issues, and often at a very early age. When is it too early to talk about sex?

Rather than retreating in fear, you can respond to the brokenness of the world with the goodness, truth, and beauty of the gospel and help your kids to do the same.

Para toda sociedad, las circunstancias bajo las que niños y adolescentes se desarrollan, es un principio básico de su ser. La generación de personas valiosas y protegidas es un fin en sí, que no puede pasar a segundo termino o convertirse en un medio para lograr fines distintos a estos. En el caso mexicano, investigar sobre esta poblacion es un deber doble, porque al enfrentar un contexto tan conflictivo, lleno de retos, refiere un compromiso de estudiosos con sus deberes academicos, y de cristianos, comprometidos con la suprema mision de velar por sus infantes, con el objetivo de repercutir en la opinion publica, contribuyendo, con tan nobles aportes, en la generacion de politicas publicas que incidan en la mejora de las condiciones vitales de nuestros miembros mas jovenes.Los investigadores del Centro de Estudios de Familia, Bioetica y Sociedad (CEFABIOS) de la Universidad Pontificia de Mexico (UPM), asumiendo los compromisos referidos, ofrecemos a nuestros lectores y al publico en general, una investigacion que, asumiendo la magnitud del reto, se desarrollara en dos entregas, siendo este el primero de dos volumenes, que profundiza en temas como la legislacion vigente y el derecho a la vida; salud; educacion; entorno pospandemico; divorcio; identidad de genero y, por supuesto, la reflexion de la iglesia en torno a nuestros pequeños.En claro enriquecimiento de nuestro criterio, que no puede permanecer ajeno a los aconteceres de nuestro entorno, el presente titulo ha incorporado un Dossier titulado: "Derechos vulnerados en las infancias: situacion, origen e identidad en la Argentina", en donde un profesional grupo de investigacion nos ofrece sus respectivas reflexiones entorno a los desafios de la primera infancia, educacion sexual en las escuelas y el derecho a la identidad.El Reporte sobre la Familia en Mexico 2025: Niños y Adolescentes en la Frontera del Futuro, volumen I, es un compromiso sincero, en donde el profesionalismo y la fe se entremezclan para asumir responsablemente los retos que los tiempos nos demandan.

Las víctimas de la DINA: archivos, historias reales y las voces inéditas de sus victimariosA partir de documentos inéditos, expedientes judiciales y testimonios de jueces, familiares, víctimas y victimarios, este libro revela los mecanismos de la DINA y la forma en que operaron el poder y la violencia que marcaron generaciones. Aqui se exploran las practicas del horror, sus protagonistas y sus vinculos, en un relato que desde el presente muestra las mentiras, culpas y arrepentimientos de aquellos que dejaron una herida abierta en la memoria chilena.Es la historia de personas como Michael Townley, Odlanier Mena, Mariana Callejas, Miguel Krassnoff, Adriana Rivas, Basclay Zapata, Teresa Osorio, Marcia Merino, Marcelo Moren Brito, Osvaldo Romo, entre otros, quienes fueron instrumentos del control del Estado y, bajo ese amparo, encontraron en los años mas crudos de la dictadura y en los noventa un lugar donde operar para beneficio propio, ya fuera por el goce, la codicia o el poder. Todo bajo el mando de Manuel Contreras y Augusto Pinochet, quienes muchas veces justificaron u omitieron sus actos.Lugares como Villa Grimaldi, el extinto penal Cordillera y Punta Peuco son descritos con otra mirada en este valioso trabajo investigativo, que rescata fuentes directas de un pasado que desaparece. Rodrigo Cid, periodista y testigo de estas historias, reconstruye, con rigor y sensibilidad, las vidas y trayectorias en un relato coral sobre el destino de figuras tan humanas como siniestras.
