Its almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice. The worshiping community of the Old Testament used fatherly images for understanding Gods character and actions, but "Father" was not a common way for believers to address God.In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher Wright explores in depth the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms and prophetic texts of the Old Testament. God is acknowledged as tender yet terrifying, challenging to the nations and yet intimately personal, offering loving care, provision, discipline and forgiveness.This is the God whom Jesus knew, and whom we can know, as Father. Such knowledge of God is far from merely devotional or doctrinal, but governs our worldview, personal and social ethics, and expectations of the future.

Pope Francis was the Pope for 12 years (2013-2025), Argentinian by birth but during his 12 years as Pope he never returned to his homeland. The book by prominent Australian Jesuit, Frank Brennan, writes about Francis papacy as a fellow Jesuit. He writes as Jesuit reflecting on Francis papacy and his life as a Jesuit when he was appointed as provincial of the Jesuits in Argentina at the age of 36. Brennan refers to Francis papacy as being one of a disruptor in the life of the Catholic Church. Brennan writes in his conclusion [Francis] left us a wonderful roadmap for pilgrims in an evangelising church committed to care for our common home by being fraternal and in solidarity with all, especially those on the frontiers and peripheries which are the privileged centres of grace.

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

AO FALAR SOBRE TEOLOGIA, logo nos vem à mente a compreensão lógica das coisas divinas, e não as experiências com Deus que ultrapassam a razão. Ao fazer teologia sobre o Espírito Santo, porém, precisa

At the heart of this issue of Rivista di Estetica are the status of novelty and the various figures of what belongs to the category of the new: the innovative, unclassified, unexpected, unrecognizable, and so on, as well as the possibilities of the new, its creation, production, or discovery. We aim to consider what is most difficult to reflect, because it is not there or not yet there, or else successfully evades any projection and thematization. How does the new manifest and appear? What is the relationship between the new and change? How can change occur, and when does it become the new? What is new within the novel, or what is novel within the new? How do novelty, transformation, and surprise relate? What defines the new in the arts? And how can we develop a phenomenology of ontological novelty?

What do we mean when we talk about small groups? And more importantly: what do we expect to happen when people gather in this way? The small group that wrote this bookmade up of current and former campus ministry professionals with InterVarsity Christian Fellowshipsees a small group as: a community that studies the Bible, prays and participates in Gods mission together for the purposes of Gods transforming work.Small groups are about transformation, and in this book transformation is given flesh and blood in the faces and names of the people you lead.

This engaging work blends wisdom and drama, at times reading like a telenovela and others like a detective chronicle. June Carolyn Erlick, Harvard UniversityIn the 1970s and 80s, while ABC, NBC, and CBS were battling for every screen in America, a Mexican family, together with a shrewd American operator, was quietly building the foundations of a media empire. Facing television magnates like Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch, they achieved the unthinkable: to break into the ruthless competitive world of U.S. media. Later, forced out of the market by political and corporate interests, they formed an alliance as improbable as it was strategic, with none other than the former talent agent of Ronald Reagan, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando.This book unravels the personal intrigues, hidden tensions, power plays, and cultural twists behind the media empire now known as Univision, and reveals how its programming including telenovelas, soccer, news, and musicdefined an identity and won over an audience that grew at the same pace as the network.A fascinating tale of ambition, risk, and the dream of giving a voice to millions of Hispanics in the United States, Live from America tells the story of how Spanish-language television forever changed the countrys media landscape.

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.
