"The Spirit blows where it pleases," Jesus said to Nicodemus."You hear its sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."The Spirit, like the wind, is hard to pin down. Any discussion of the Spirit is fraught with the difficulty of speaking about something or someone who defies definition and who purposely averts attention from himself toward someone else. So it is with the Spirit. And so it is with the churchs reception of and conversation about the Spirit, even in its early centuries. It is hard to pin down, and the churchs voice on the Spirit has been about as loud as the whisper of the wind that indicates the Spirits presence.The churchs teaching on the Holy Spirit is perhaps what Nicolas Berdayev has called "the last unexplored theological frontier." In these latter days of the church, this "final frontier" is receiving increasing attention. The rise of the Pentecostal movement, the engaged witness of the Orthodox churches, which have historically been more sensitive to the role of the Spirit, coupled with the fact that people in general are looking for a deeper and more relational faith, perhaps help explain in part the increased attention the Spirit is getting.It is appropriate then that the base camp of this exploration be established in the early understanding of the church on these matters. Following the outline of the succinct third article of the Nicene Creed, Joel Elowsky opens up to us vistas of the Holy Spirit with expertly selected passages from ancient Christian writings.This portion of the Creed, apart from the filioque, is largely uncontroversial. The full deity of the Spirit is highlighted not so much by theological definition as by the emphasis on worship and action. While the Creed itself does not speak directly of the work of the Spirit in justification, sanctification and the like, the early church theologians nevertheless had much to say on these issues. Here we see clearly how the Spirit is "giver of life."The five-volume Ancient Christian Doctrine series follows up on the acclaimed Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture to provide patristic commentary on the Nicene Creed, translating source material from the church fathers into English for unparalleled insight into early church history.

Freya Indias writing is compassionate, gripping, and deeply psychological Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious GenerationComing of age has always been a time of angst and inner turmoil, especially for girls. But today girls have to contend with those worries in a world of AR filters, TikTok plastic surgeons, dating apps, hook up culture, online porn, modern sex-positivity, profit-driven online therapy apps, direct-to-door medication and even fully customisable AI girlfriends. All personalised by algorithms to play on their innermost fears and insecurities. It is an onslaught of advertising, it is on portable platforms designed to be maximally addictive, and it is far beyond what any previous generation of girls have ever faced.GIRLS teases out and traces both technological and cultural shifts in the last decadefrom social media to shifting family structures, waning religious attachment and the collapse of communal spaces. And GIRLS exposes the sinister and rapid intensification and ruthless commercialisation of the inner lives of girls and young women which leads to the loss of their authentic selvesa loss that corporations are all too ready to exploit.GIRLS is a personal journey and intimate portrait of girls today, in all their mystery and torment: one that captures the soul of the most complex and misunderstood generation so far, and that empowers them to see their lives through a different lens.

Seeing Sabbath as the Gospels Call to Resist, Reimagine, and Reclaim The worlds relentless push for "more and better" reflects a value system that is individualistic and economically exploitative, leaving Christians and the church itself exhausted. Amid this weariness, Sabbath emerges as not merely a day of rest, but a powerful, countercultural invitation to push back.In Sabbath Gospel, G. P. Wagenfuhr and Amy J. Erickson invite us to consider Sabbath as much more than a cessation from work. Sabbath is a grand exodus from tiring economic regimes and the empty promise of self-actualization. By expanding our vision of Sabbath beyond the Creation story, we vacate the idol of the world and take our place in the household of God, the church, where Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. In this robust biblical theology, scholars, theologians, and pastors find a fresh approach to Sabbath that moves us beyond empty practices and renews our language about the gospel.What youll find in Sabbath Gospel: A transformative view of Sabbath as communal resistance against the exploitative value systems of the world Interdisciplinary insights into the Biblical theology of Sabbath A call to live out Sabbath anew in Gods reconciled community Sabbath Gospel challenges readers to rethink Sabbath, moving beyond individualistic notions of rest. Sabbath is not just about stepping back from work for personal rejuvenation but about stepping into Gods householda reconciled community where rest is shared, burdens are lifted, and the gospel is renewed in our lives. Reimagine your view of Sabbath with Sabbath Gospel.

¿Cuánto dura la juventud en el siglo XXI? ¿Hasta cuándo podemos prolongarla? ¿Cómo pasó de ser una etapa a convertirse en mandato?Juvencolía explora el deseo de ser joven para siempre: de los mitos que nos formaron al vertigo de la edad adulta, cuando la enfermedad irrumpe como grieta que ya no puede ignorarse y, a la vez, como revelacion. Desde ahi, la narradora teje un abecedario intimo, erudito y pop, que va de Nunca Jamas a la contracultura, de la beca Erasmus a Instagram, de la crisis de la mediana edad a la quimioterapia, pasando por la doctora Luella Day, que juro haber encontrado la fuente de la eterna juventud en su jardin.Un libro brillante y audaz sobre la perdida, el anhelo y la juvencolia que nos sostiene.La critica ha dicho:Pocas veces se escribe sobre la juventud con tanta claridad y tanta herida. [] En un mundo que se niega a envejecer, la enfermedad aparece como un fracaso, como una mancha, como un estigma. Con esta carga de profundidad que da la perspectiva de la muerte, [Silvia Herreros de Tejada] ha compuesto un ensayo en forma de abecedario, que une la erudicion culta con la cultura pop, la autobiografia con la autoficcion, la lucidez con el humor.

POR QUÉ ESPAÑA FABRICA JÓVENES ANTISISTEMA: EL HUNDIMIENTO DE LA CLASE MEDIA Y LA BRECHA GENERACIONAL.En este manifiesto, Estefanía Molina da voz a una generación: denuncia el pasotismo de España frente a los dramas de su juventud la vivienda, los salarios y la precariedad y explica por que tantos jovenes se sienten atraidos por el autoritarismo y la ultraderecha, debido a la muerte de la clase media y a un sistema politico basado en los intereses de los baby boomers, como en el caso de las pensiones, que ya no sirve para sus hijos. La autora reclama un nuevo contrato social y reformas valientes, pues existe el riesgo de que esa generacion antisistema, criada en el malestar, fulmine en pocas decadas las conquistas politicas y un estado del bienestar que ya da signos de agotamiento.La democracia no solo se legitima por sus bondades igualdad, libertad sino tambien por sus resultados. En eso estamos fallando a nuestros jovenes. Estefania Molina
