Explore the Enscripturation of Christian Identity Across History Every time we read the Bible, it invites us to find ourselves within its pages. When we do so, we do more than interpret ScriptureScripture interprets us. And it interprets us by naming us as we stand before the crucified and risen Lord.In Clothed in the Word, David Ney combines historical analysis and biblical hermeneutics to explore the ways in which Christians throughout church history have found themselves embodied or "enscripturated" in the stories of the Bible.Through meticulous examination of pivotal biblical figures, this scholarly yet accessible work reveals how people of faith across centuries have applied scriptural names and identities to themselves and their communities. Extending beyond individual identification, this practice creates a participatory experience that encompasses entire faith communities and speaks to their standing before God and in Christ.As the text of Scripture and the reader interact with one another, many Christians throughout history have identified with the experiences of biblical figures, clothing themselves with their names and roles as a way of understanding and living out their faith.Clothed in the Word explores numerous examples like these from throughout Christian history: In the New Testament, John the Baptist is identified with Elijah the prophet. In ancient Christianity, believers often portrayed themselves as Paul the athlete who endured to the end, as they, too, persevered under trial. In the Middle Ages, Hildegard of Bingen saw herself as the Blessed Virgin Mary, not merely identifying with her but literally living out her life as a consecrated virgin. During the Reformation, several figures viewed themselves as Abel, appealing to God on behalf of their enemies, whom they identified as Cain. In recent years, Harriet Tubman famously understood herself to be a Moses figure commissioned by God to lead her people to a Promised Land. Perfect for church history courses, seminary education, and advanced undergraduate religious studies, this work offers professors, students, and interested lay readers perceptive insights on how Scripture continues to shape Christian identity across time and culture.Through this study of how the saints of history have enscripturated the saints of Scripture, Ney invites us to interpret our own lives in light of the stories of Scripture, thus clothing ourselves in the garments of the Word and discovering anew that the Bible is the Book of Life.

Una estimulante y sagaz reflexión sobre el sentido del pensar filosófico.En 2001 una productora de televisión argentina le propuso a Dardo Scavino escribir el guión de los catorce capítulos de una serie que tratase de responder a la pregunta ¿Que es la filosofia?. El autor propuso matizarla y cambiarla por ¿Que hace la filosofia?. Llego la crisis economica y el proyecto se abandono. Quedaron un centenar de paginas de esbozos, guardadas en un cajon. Olvidadas, hasta que, pasados los años, Scavino decidio echarles un vistazo.Este es el origen de este libro, que traslada aquella idea al papel. Partiendo de la imagen de Querefonte, el amigo de Socrates, recorriendo el camino entre Delfos y Atenas, los catorce capitulos explican que filosofar no consiste en elaborar grandes teorias acerca de lo divino y lo humano. El quehacer fundamental de la filosofia consiste mas bien en la escucha de los otros para extraer de sus discursos las reglas que los gobiernan.Asi, de la mayeutica socratica a la arqueologia de Foucault, el autor recorre el pensamiento de Vico, Kant, Wollstonecraft, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger o Wittgenstein para explorar la relacion de la filosofia con el lenguaje. De diferentes maneras, todos estos pensadores entendieron que esas normas tacitas constituyen el autentico poder de cualquier sociedad humana. Su psicagogia, como la llama Platon.Evocando escenas de la literatura y el cine, historias de filosofos y anecdotas personales, este Curso defilosofia se propone demostrar por que la disciplina no es una ciencia de objetos, sino de sujetos sometidos a gramaticas que rigen nuestras maneras de vivir y pensar. El resultado es una estimulante y sagaz reflexion sobre el sentido del pensar filosofico que no es ni predicacion ni militancia y por que este sigue siendo necesario en el presente.

Una cuidada selección de los mejores artículos políticos y de crítica cultural de uno de los escritores e intelectuales más importantes del siglo XX.George Orwell dedicó su vida y obra a la defensa de la libertad del hombre. Como Simone Weil, entendio que su papel de intelectual era inseparable de la obligacion ciudadana de luchar contra el totalitarismo con el fusil, pero tambien con la pluma. Sus escritos politicos son un claro, arriesgado y ejemplar ejercicio de compromiso contra la mentira y la manipulacion que eleva la escritura de denuncia a la categoria de literatura. En esta antologia encontraremos intervenciones indispensables como son "Una mirada retrospectiva a la guerra española", "Notas sobre el nacionalismo", "Usted y la bomba atomica", "Dentro de la ballena" o "Disparando a un elefante" en los que se refleja su vision certera, independiente y esceptica pero siempre compasiva y solidaria con las injusticias de su tiempo que son, en definitiva, las de nuestro.La razon de Orwell ha sabido atravesar decadas y su clarividencia se nos presenta con una actualidad sobrecogedora. Estos escritos son una luz que ilumina la oscuridad del presente.

A work of art is a strange thing. It can carry us to the soaring peaks of beauty or drag us all the way down to the burning depths of depravity. We often treat artworks as sacred, almost ethereal. But they are an intimate piece of this world - born from the hands of geniuses, and from the hands of monsters.What makes an artwork immoral? Why do these troubling creations have such a hold on us? And how should we deal with them?We live in a moment when the dangers of art seem more prevalent than ever: artists are cancelled for their misdeeds, public statues are toppled, images of violence and obscenity await us at the touch of a button. But as this provocative new history demonstrates, we humans have always used art to make sense of the less innocent aspects of ourselves and the world around us.In Depraved, philosopher of art Daisy Dixon takes the reader on a journey through some of the most volatile and contentious works ever produced - from prehistoric sculpture to extreme metal music, Renaissance paintings to videogames. She reveals how beautiful art can sometimes be the most insidious, and why the greatest threat might lie in our own judgements about the art we censor or condemn.Above all, Dixon builds a powerful case for returning the terrible gaze of our disturbing creations, showing how we can confront them head-on and tame their toxic effects.

El testimonio profundamente humano de Ezzideen Shehab, testigo trágico del genocidio en Gaza, médico y escritor extraordinario.Cinco días antes del 7 de octubre de 2023, Ezzideen Shehab regresa a su hogar en Gaza tras completar sus estudios de Medicina en Iran. Poco despues, da inicio una experiencia extrema para el y su pueblo, y desde entonces trabaja incansablemente en hospitales destruidos atendiendo a victimas en condiciones inimaginables y retratando, con una claridad estremecedora, la devastacion y la resiliencia de los gazaties mientras compone dia a dia su extraordinaria historia de supervivencia y servicio. Diario de un joven medico es un documento de una lucidez moral excepcional, concebido desde el epicentro de la catastrofe humanitaria en Gaza, que constituye un importante testimonio frente a uno de los episodios mas oscuros de nuestro tiempo. Un texto conmovedor con la fuerza de quien escribe desde la dignidad, que captura escenas imborrables de brutalidad pero tambien de la humanidad perdurable de los medicos y pacientes de la Franja. Shehab combina la precision clinica de un medico con la delicadeza de un escritor cuyo tono literario y sensibilidad dialogan con la obra de Svetlana Alexievich o Samar Yazbek, si bien este libro es mas que literatura o reportaje: es un ajuste de cuentas con el fracaso de la humanidad. Un testimonio poderoso que deberia sacudir las almas de millones de personas (Max Porter).

Including People with Disabilities Is Essential to Your Churchs Witness God wants people of all abilities to be active participants in his kingdom. But churches have not always made it clear that people with disabilities are both part of Gods story and fully welcome in their communities. If the church is to be a credible witness, it must reach and include people with disabilities within its evangelism, mission, and everyday life.In Disability and Evangelism, Rochelle Scheuermann casts a vision for including people with disabilities in all aspects of evangelism, from how we understand and tell the gospel story, to how we evangelize to and with people with disabilities. This groundbreaking book invites us to reshape our evangelism theology and practice so that people with disabilities are central in all we think, say, and do. Scheuermann uncovers how Gods story in Scripture responds to the complexities of disability and provides both the means and message to share good news among people of all abilities. She then explores issues of evangelism practice, including how we understand conversion, an expanded understanding of accommodation, and pursuing interdependence in ministry.In Disability and Evangelism, you will gain a biblical understanding of both disability and evangelism; hear stories from people with a range of disabilities; study evangelism practices that go beyond traditional approaches that are key for doing evangelism with and among people with disabilities; understand why many people with disabilities feel excluded from and do not attend church; and engage with discussion questions in each chapter. This book shows how the gospel really is good news for people of all abilities. Understanding and embracing disability is not only a matter of compassion and justice. People with disabilities will help the church to counteract faulty visions of power, autonomy, and self-promotion and to encounter the good news of Jesus more deeply. If youre looking for a resource that invites people with disabilities to be both recipients and active participants in Gods mission, Disability and Evangelism is for you.About the Series Center for Disability and Ministry books explore the intersection of disability and practical theology in partnership with the Center for Disability and Ministry at Western Theological Seminary. Co-edited by Benjamin T. Conner and John Swinton, this series explores key issues in disability theology through the framework of practical theology, aiming to increase knowledge as well as faithfully impact Christian practice.
