Do you feel equally uncomfortable with closed-minded skepticism and closed-minded Christianity?If so, then The Myth of Certainty is the book for you. Daniel Taylor suggests a path to committed faith that is both consistent with the tradition of Christian orthodoxy and sensitive to the pluralism, relativism and complexity of our time.Taylor makes the case for the reflective, questioning Christian with both incisive analysis and lively storytelling. His brief fictional interludes provide an alternative way to explore key issues of belief and vividly depict the real-life dilemmas Christians often face.Taylor affirms a call to throw off the paralysis of uncertainty and to risk commitment to God without forfeiting the God-given gift of an inquiring mind. Throughout he demonstrates clearly how much the world and the church need people--maybe people like you--who are willing to ask tough questions.

Whether at home or abroad, communicating with people of other cultures is difficult. It requires new ways of thinking and interpreting the world. When conflict arises, as it often does, the issues become even more confusing. Without a good understanding of how different cultures handle conflict, our best intentions may only make matters worse.With a particular focus on Asian and Hispanic cultures (at home and around the world) and on African culture, Duane Elmer walks readers through various types of conflict and shows how they can be handled effectively and appropriately. Elmer gives numerous stories and examples from his experience and from others to show how handling conflict well builds solid relationships. With an eye out for biblical principles, he looks at a variety of sticky questions in Scripture. This is a book not just of theory but of practical models of conflict resolution.Pastors, evangelists, business people, missionaries, students--anyone who wants to communicate more effectively with neighbors and colleagues--will find this book immensely helpful.

72 minutos.Eso es todo lo que se tarda en acabar con el mundo tal y como lo conocemos.Eso es menos tiempo que el que dura la mayoría de las películas del cine de nuestra localidad.La mayoría de las personas no podria conducir a la tienda de bricolaje de su localidad para comprar los materiales necesarios para llevar a cabo las pequeñas reparaciones caseras que suelen ser hechas en los fines de semana.¿Pasear a los perros?¿Jugar con los niños?Olvidese de ello.72 minutos.Despues, todo aquello por lo que usted creia que merecia la pena vivir estaria muerto.¿Y si usted sobreviviera?Una cita de Nikita Jrushchov dice: "los supervivientes tendrian envidia de los muertos".

In an era when humanity is losing its dignity, how can we preserve our self-respect?We need a new guiding principle to help us face up to the planetary crisis. The old model of continuous economic growth, driven by greed, envy, and the pursuit of dominance, is leading us into global catastrophe. There are many reasons why, but the most obvious is the close correlation between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions.We need to be honest with ourselvesRealistically, our options are already limited to damage control and intelligent disaster management. Intellectual integrity, compassion, and a particular kind of inner awareness are urgently needed to cultivate mental and political resilience. The concept of a "culture of consciousness" is the starting point for a new debate. We need more compassion and radical self-respectFor more than thirty years, we have been failing with our eyes wide open. In addition to our lack of self-respect and our lack of compassion for future generations, a lack of cultural creativity has been one of the main causes of the looming climate crisis: we have been unable to leave the old values behind and create alternative ways of living.But replacing old values with new ways of life is precisely what is needed to create a cultural context that will let us exit the growth model. We need a culture of consciousness that works at both the individual and the societal levels. This book offers a path towards it. We need a radical new culture of consciousness"Many of us have little compassion and no respect for the people and other sentient beings who will inhabit this planet after us. As a result, we will soon no longer be able to take ourselves seriously as rational beings, because for decades we have deliberately ignored empirical facts and organised our own self-deception at the political level. The climate catastrophe will therefore also lead us to recognise ourselves as a failing species, and the loss of our dignity will result in a historically unprecedented kind of suffering. We need a radical new Bewusstseinskultur." Thomas Metzinger

Wie wird Christus heute gepredigt? In welcher Vielfalt wird seine Gegenwart erlebt? Wie wirken Wort, Tat und Ton, die von ihm zeugen, auf- und miteinander? Anlasslich der Emeritierung des Heidelberger Neutestamentlers und Praktischen Theologen Helmut Schwier legt der Band interdisziplinare Zugange zu diesen Fragen und damit einem zentralen Proprium christlicher Theologie vor. Wissenschaftler:innen aus Deutschland, Sudafrika und den USA nahern sich diesem Thema aus homiletischer, liturgischer, musikwissenschaftlicher, exegetischer, queer-theologischer, religionspadagogischer, diakoniewissenschaftlicher, poimenischer, systematisch-theologischer sowie hochschulpolitischer Perspektive. Sie zeigen: Die Frage nach der Rede von Jesus Christus ist ein wichtiger Teil christlicher Predigt(-theorie), geht aber weit uber gottesdienstliche Vollzuge hinaus. Was daraus fur Kirche, Gesellschaft und auch die Verkundigung selbst folgt, ergrunden die vorliegenden Beitrage. Mit Beitragen von Jonathan C. Augustin, Judith Gartner, Martin Haller, Annette Daniela Haumann, Anni Hentschel, Elsabe Kloppers, Benedikt Kranemann, Andreas Krebs, Peter Lampe, Fritz Lienhard, Stefan Menzel und Helmut Schwier.[Preaching Christ in Word, Deed, and Sound. Interdisciplinary Approaches and International Explorations]How is Christ proclaimed today? How is his presence experienced? How do the words, actions, and sounds that bear witness to him interrelate? On the occasion of the retirement of the Heidelberg New Testament scholar and professor of practical theology Helmut Schwier, this volume presents interdisciplinary approaches to these questions and thus to a central proprium of Christian theology. Scholars from Germany, South Africa, and the USA approach this topic from the perspectives of homiletics, liturgy, musicology, exegesis, queer theology, religious education, diaconal studies, poimenics, systematic theology, and higher education policy. They show that the question of how to speak about Jesus Christ is an important part of Christian preaching (theory) that goes far beyond the worship service. The articles in this volume explore the implications of this for the church, society, and preaching itself.

A revolution is reshaping our understanding of human origins.Gone is the old narrative of slow, animal-like evolution. Instead, we now see humanitys emergence as marked by explosive transformations like the Palaeolithic spiritual leap that gave birth to cave art, a profound expression of shamanistic visionary consciousness. Even the long-misunderstood Neanderthals are now recognized as integral to our story.At the heart of this new prehistory lies the world of the cave artists, whose vision shaped the essential scope of human existence along with its inherent dangers and excesses. As explored in Andrew Welburns acclaimed Neanderthals and Atlantis, Rudolf Steiner and the New Prehistory (nominated for the 2025 ISSR International Book Prize), Steiners linking of the Atlantis legend and the betrayal of its Mysteries to this era gains startling new relevance. But the story does not end there. Steiner revealed how the great cultures of antiquity India, Persia, Egypt and Mesopotamia were not merely outdated belief systems but vital stages in humanitys evolution of consciousness. These traditions planted within us the seeds of moral sacrifice, commitment to a better world, and the courage to confront life and death. Today, cutting-edge prehistorians are abandoning the myth of culture as a patchwork of conquests, embracing instead a Palaeolithic Continuity Model that resonates deeply with Steiners vision.In this illuminating second volume, Welburn bridges the gap between the Ice Ages transformative crisis and a bold new interpretation of modernity. Drawing on Steiners insights including the profound Moses Mystery he reveals how the Bible and Christianity are illuminated by the hidden currents of human consciousness. A groundbreaking work that redefines our past to better understand our future.

As hilarious, charming, eccentric, informative, addictive and delightful as the show itself STEPHEN FRYMuch-loved radio drama The Archers has been at the heart of British life for over seventy years, and the momentous events and changes of this time have all found a place in Ambridge. For more than three decades, scriptwriter Graham Harvey was the man behind the shows farming storylines, writing over 600 episodes and crafting some of its most memorable moments: the Great Flood, the trashing of Brians GM crop, the loss of the Grundy family farm.In this book Graham interweaves personal memories of these moments with extracts from the scripts he created, offering behind-the-scenes details of how key characters and plotlines were developed, keeping pace with the real changes taking place in village and farm life. He also explores the part the show played in setting Britain on its disastrous transition from small-scale, sustainable farming to industrial agriculture. Could it now help guide the nation back to the nature-friendly, planet-saving methods we so desperately need?Underneath The Archers relates a personal drama, too: how Graham uncovered his fathers dark, wartime secret, the trauma which was to blight their family life. The insecurities of his youth gave Graham a deep attachment to the fictional community he was creating. The reassurance he found was in a love for England: its land, its soil, its farming culture a love that found its perfect expression in the world of Ambridge and its inhabitants.

Twenty-five years after the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda remains a cornerstone of global peace efforts yet many of its promises are still to be fulfilled. This volume, promoted within the framework of the Mediterranean Women Mediators Network (MWMN) an initiative launched by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in collaboration with the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) and Women in International Security Italy (WIIS Italy) almost a decade ago offers an updated reflection on the Agendas evolution and on the concrete impact of the MWMN, bringing together theory, policy analysis and first-hand experiences from women mediators across the Mediterranean region. Combining a feminist security studies perspective with qualitative research ranging from surveys and interviews to field insights the book traces how the networks local initiatives, mediation efforts and cross-regional collaboration have shaped the implementation of Resolution 1325 in a rapidly evolving geopolitical context. The volume highlights tangible achievements, persistent gaps and innovative strategies to strengthen womens role in peace processes. It concludes with concrete policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the WPS Agenda. A must-read for scholars, policymakers and practitioners, this book bridges research and practice, offering both a critical appraisal and a forward-looking vision for womens mediation and peacebuilding across the Mediterranean and beyond.

Find Strength in the Wilderness When life feels like a wildernessa place of uncertainty, exhaustion, and spiritual stumblingwhat do you hold on to?For many of us the past few years have been clouded by plagues of illness and dying, anger and violence, disillusionment and loss. And numerous pharaohs, from the church house to the courthouse to the White House, appear to have risen up to withstand the move of God toward freedom and new life for his people. But the road to freedom is often through the wilderness, dying to what was, while we strain, through faith, to see the life we hope for just barely visible in the distance.In Enough for Today, Donna Barber offers forty reflections on how God provides in unexpected and life-sustaining ways, drawing parallels to the manna that sustained the Israelites during their own wilderness journey. This devotional is designed for those whose spirits have been wearied by deconstruction, for justice seekers still trying to hold onto hope, and for anyone in need of spiritual refreshing amid the arid challenges of our present world.These forty reflections are an invitation to acknowledge your fears while still leaning into what is true as you make your way through the wilderness. Through rich imagery, Barber invites you to rediscover the God of your first love and the places where you encountered him and to find a way forward with renewed hope and faith.What Youll Find in Enough for Today: Daily Reflections: Forty devotions to help you connect with God, even when your energy feels depleted Spiritual Insights: Different ways God meets you in wilderness seasons, often in surprising and unanticipated ways An Invitation to Rediscovery: Encouragement to hear Gods call, face your fears, and rediscover your own identity Whether youre a community leader, a weary advocate, or simply a seeker in need of direction, Enough for Today will provide the daily manna you need to persevere. If you have considered walking away, dont. Face your fears, rediscover your identity, and hear God calling you toward his reimagined promises.

El imperio de la ley es la única alternativa al imperio de la fuerza. Sólo bajo el gobierno de las leyes, el ser humano puede vivir en libertad y en paz. Si no nos sometemos al Derecho, la ley del más fuerte, las fauces del totalitarismo acechan y amenazan con devorar la libertad y la convivencia, señala el autor en la introduccion a este libro. El imperio de la ley es un concepto juridico que somete la accion estatal a una regla fundamental: la Constitucion. La dignidad del ser humano es un valor basico de la propia Constitucion que esta necesariamente relacionada con la libertad, tambien con la libertad politica, es decir, con la democracia. El imperio de la ley, o lo que es lo mismo, el Estado de derecho, pone de relevancia que el principio del derecho constitucional es proteger la dignidad de los individuos. Sin embargo, para que el derecho incida en la conciencia social, no tanto de los juristas sino de toda la sociedad, es preciso fomentar una cultura civica a traves de la enseñanza y la educacion, asi como tambien por parte de las propias instituciones y de las personas. Y si esto fracasa, el Estado de derecho tambien fracasara, porque, si bien las garantias para proteger al imperio de la ley son, ante todo, juridicas, tambien son politicas y sociales. Javier Cremades, jurista de reconocido prestigio internacional, señala en El imperio de la ley que las amenazas de hoy en dia -no faltan ejemplos de nuestra actualidad- no proceden tanto de los totalitarismos como de la corrupcion de algunos paises y de la injerencia de los movimientos populistas. Para hacerles frente, el Estado de derecho es la unica alternativa posible ante la sinrazon y el empleo de la fuerza.

"Con motivo de la celebración del vigésimo aniversario de su fundación, el Instituto de Democracia y Derechos Humanos de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (IDEHPUCP) ofrece en este volumen una amplia reflexion sobre el sinuoso itinerario seguido por la democracia peruana durante este siglo, desde los tiempos prometedores de la transicion politica, que hoy parecen lejanos, hasta la agobiante actualidad. Se trata, al mismo tiempo, de un testimonio y de una llamada de alerta. En nuestra trayectoria se reflejan, de un lado, los esfuerzos de la sociedad por consolidar la democracia o por asentar una cultura de los derechos humanos y, del otro, la incesante lucha por defender esas conquistas y por evitar retrocesos.El volumen recoge las reflexiones de los directores del Instituto y de investigadores estrechamente ligados a su empeño a lo largo de estos años con el animo de hacer un balance serio y razonado sobre la evolucion de temas cruciales de la agenda de los derechos humanos tales como la memoria de la violencia, el respeto a las normas del derecho internacional, la lucha contra la corrupcion, los derechos de personas migrantes y otros de igual importancia. Se ofrece, asi, un material valioso para entender las razones que han conducido a las marchas y contramarchas de nuestra cultura democratica y tambien para hallar instrumentos que permitan hacerles frente y recuperar una genuina inspiracion humanitaria."

La enseñanza de Jesús sigue siendo el modelo fundamental para quienes buscan formar discípulos en cualquier contexto educativo, incluso en el espacio virtual. Enseñar como Jesús en el siglo xxi. Principios biblico-teologicos para la educacion en linea de Williams Trigueros ofrece una reflexion profunda y necesaria para pensar la educacion teologica en la era digital.Apoyandose en un cuidadoso analisis de las Escrituras, especialmente en el libro de los Hechos, el autor propone una base solida para replantear la formacion teologica online, destacando que el contenido, la fidelidad al evangelio y el acompañamiento comunitario deben seguir siendo el centro, mas alla de los medios tecnologicos utilizados. Desde los fundamentos de la enseñanza en el Antiguo y Nuevo Testamento hasta la transmision de la doctrina cristologica y pneumatologica en el movimiento apostolico, el libro construye un puente entre el ejemplo de Jesus y los desafios contemporaneos de la enseñanza a distancia. Ademas, ofrece propuestas practicas para cultivar comunidades de fe autenticas, formar lideres con proposito y usar las herramientas digitales sin perder la esencia transformadora de la educacion teologica.Con un enfoque biblico, critico y propositivo, esta obra invita a pastores, educadores y formadores de lideres a repensar como enseñar hoy con la misma pasion, verdad y profundidad que caracterizo a Jesus y a sus apostoles. Mas que un manual tecnico, Enseñar como Jesus en el siglo xx es un llamado a recuperar el corazon de la enseñanza cristiana en todos los formatos y generaciones.
