This volume could be written differently. It could present the Protestant theological view on the economy from Luther, Zwingli and Calvin until contemporary prominent theologians. Or it could be a description of the teaching of one of the Protestant Churches or denomination. Or it could be an investigation of the traces of Protestant theology in the contemporary prevailing economic order. All such presentations could be hugely interesting and accurate and they would be reasonable in light of the most critical questions of todays world. However, the authors would propose a different approach that is not disjunctive, contrasting or opposing to the above-mentioned and that instead wants to reveal new trends and processes occurring in the Protestant world and bringing a new, more critical view on capitalism and its offspring, such as consumptionism.

Este volumen explora las diferentes opiniones expresadas en las cartas del Nuevo Testamento sobre la posición de la mujer en las comunidades cristianas de primera y segunda generación. Los autores situan las cartas en sus contextos culturales, religiosos y sociales mas amplios, judios y grecorromanos, para comprender mejor como cambiaron con el tiempo los roles de genero, la vida familiar y las responsabilidades de las mujeres en la difusion del Evangelio. Mientras que algunos ensayos examinan las realidades vividas por las mujeres como esposas, madres y viudas -tanto las libres como las esclavizadas-, otros examinan la funcion retorica y teologica de las metaforas femeninas.

Está creciendo el interés, la conciencia y la demanda por el conocimiento de que la justicia social es algo que sale de la fe cristiana. Pero esto no es algo nuevo.Por quinientos años la cultura e identidad latina han sido moldeadas por sus desafios al statu quo religioso, socioeconomico y politico, ya sea en oposicion al colonialismo español, las dictaduras latinoamericanas, el imperialismo estadounidense en Centro America, la opresion de los trabajadores de campo o la explotacion actual de inmigrantes indocumentados. El cristianismo ha jugado un papel significativo en ese movimiento en cada etapa.Robert Chao Romero, hijo de padre mexicano y madre inmigrante china, explora la historia y la teologia de lo que el llama la iglesia mestiza. Romero considera como este movimiento ha respondido a estas y otras injusticias a lo largo de su historia al apelar a la creencia que la vision de Dios por la redencion incluye no solo promesas celestiales sino tambien la transformacion de cada aspecto de nuestras vidas y el mundo. Al recorrer esta historia de activismo y fe, lectores descubriran que los cristianos latinos tienen un corazon conforme al de Dios.

Today, the doctrine of the beatific vision has been woefully forgotten within the church and its theology.Yet, throughout history Christians have always held that the blessed hope of heaven lies in seeing and being in the presence of God, of beholding the beatific vision. With lucidity and breadth, Parkison reintroduces the beatific vision and affirms its centrality for the life of the church today. Parkison argues for the beatific visions biblical foundations and reminds usthrough close readings of theologians such as Anselm of Canterbury, Thomas Aquinas, Dante, Gregory Palamas, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwardsof the doctrines historical and contemporary significance. The beatific vision is about seeing God, and as Christians have acknowledged across the tradition, seeing God is our ultimate end.

A Christian case for natural burialThe promises of the Christian gospel are never more precious or more beautiful than in the context of death and burial. And yet current burial practices in Western society are archaic and impersonal. They fail to confront us with the reality of death, and they make it harder to process death or to grieve properly.Kent Burreson and Beth Hoeltke have been teaching a Christian understanding of death and natural burial for many years. They argue that natural buriallaying the body into the earth in a way that allows it to decompose naturallyis not only better for the environment but is also a more accurate picture of Christian hope of the resurrection. Grounded in sound Christian teaching about death and burial, they advocate for natural burial and offer practical instructions for navigating the complex questions around burial practices.Lay Me in Gods Good Earth is not only an immensely practical guide to natural burial; it is also an application of the hope of the resurrection to those grieving the loss of their loved ones.

How to Fight Sexism in the ChurchDespite the real progress that has been made in recent years, women continue to be silenced, wounded, and relegated to the sidelines in our churches. Many churcheseven churches that outwardly affirm and platform womenremain unaware of the patterns and cultures at play that set up unseen barriers for women.This is a book for Christians who want to learn how to do better. Heather Matthews has experienced sexism in the church firsthand. In Confronting Sexism in the Church, she explores the history and culture of sexism in our contemporary evangelical world and describes the many wayssubtle and not so subtlethat it lives on in the church today. She gives simple, practical steps for how Christians can actively fight sexism in its many forms.The mistreatment of women has been part of the human experience from the very beginningbut in Christ, women are set free to be all theyve been created to be. This book invites churches to live out that reality in all its fullness.

The Roman Catholic tradition in Christianity is breathtaking, complex, and rich in insight about what it means to follow God. But what does it look like to claim this tradition as ones own? And how does this intersect with the reality of our daily and personal lives?In this vulnerable and succinct volume, theologian Matthew Levering addresses the heart of these questions. Bringing together personal memoir and theology, he reflects on why he identifies as Roman Catholic, and considers how this tradition addresses what it means to follow and participate in the life of the Triune God as a finite creature. Rather than shy away from the challenges this tradition presents, Levering presses into these challenges to offer an honest yet hopeful account of being Roman Catholic.The Ecumenical Dialogue Series seeks to foster ecumenical dialogue across theological differences. In each volume, contributors explore what it means to be Christian, what it means to identify with a specific tradition in Christianity (Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox), the challenges and benefits of their tradition, and how they can create dialogue and unity across historically tense division.

An Introduction to the Biblical Theology of HebrewsThe book of Hebrews can be intimidating for modern-day Christians due to its connection to Old Testament text. However, once understood, this New Testament epistle offers great insights into the superiority and sufficiency of Jesusrightly justifying his place as high priest.In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, scholar Dennis E. Johnson highlights the main biblical-theological themes of Hebrews. Johnson explores how Jesus fulfills perfect priesthood by becoming the covenant mediator and the trailblazer who leads his people into a better inheritance.

La publicación de este trabajo representa la concreción de un sueño postergado, que, finalmente, tomó la forma de un libro. El proyecto, presentado inicialmente hace años, fue apoyado por la Secretaria de Ciencia y Tecnica, por la Editorial Universidad Adventista del Plata y por la Vicerrectoria de Investigacion y Desarrollo de esta Universidad.El proyecto titulado Las primeras iglesias adventistas de la Cuenca del Plata: 1894-1906 apunta al descubrimiento del patron de penetracion del adventismo en la region del Rio de la Plata y a la comprension inicial de las estrategias y metodologias utilizadas por los primeros agentes evangelizadores en la plantacion de iglesias. Evalua parcialmente el desarrollo y el posible impacto de estas comunidades primitivas del adventismo en la region, en el surgimiento de instituciones educativas, sanitarias y del area de publicaciones, asi como de nuevas congregaciones. Se ofrece un muestreo de personas que emergieron de dichas iglesias y se proyectaron hacia acciones misioneras y de servicio en el pais, el continente y el mundo.El periodo en estudio esta enmarcado entre el año de fundacion de la primera iglesia en Crespo, Entre Rios (1894), dependiente de la Mision de la Costa Oriental Sudamericana, dirigida por Frank H. Westphal e, indirectamente, de la Junta de las Misiones Extranjeras de la Asociacion General de la Iglesia Adventista del Septimo Dia, y por otro lado, el año de la organizacion de la Union Asociacion Sudamericana en 1906, presidida por Joseph W. Westphal. Para ese tiempo, se habian levantado iglesias en Argentina, Paraguay y Uruguay, administradas desde 1901 por la denominada Asociacion del Rio de la Plata.Estabamos convencidos de que el proyecto tendria un definido impacto en los lectores interesados en la tematica. Creimos que su contribucion al conocimiento del adventismo seria significativa, habida cuenta de la falta de trabajos de investigacion relacionados con la historia de las primeras iglesias adventistas de la Cuenca del Plata.Juzgara el lector el valor de este esfuerzo de varios años en procura de una mejor comprension de la importancia espiritual y misional del surgimiento de estas, las primeras iglesias adventistas de la Cuenca del Plata entre 1894 y 1906.

A Practical Devotional Guide to What It Means to Be "In Christ"Followers of Jesus refer to themselves primarily as "Christians," but the New Testament frequently used a more meaningful term: "in Christ."
