Tierra prometida, tierra perdida, tierra recuperada Es posible que este motivo sea uno de los elementos esenciales de la gran intriga de la Biblia. Está la tierra en su extensión más amplia, aquella cuya creacion por parte de Dios se cuenta al principio del libro del Genesis. Esta la tierra particular prometida a Abrahan: Ve a la tierra que yo te mostrare, y dada al pueblo de Israel, tierra que mana leche y miel y por la que corrio sangre. El presente trabajo se ha elaborado para tratar de responder a una pregunta: la historia de la alianza entre Dios y la humanidad, ¿pasaria por el don de una tierra a Israel? ¿No tendria cualquier tierra humana como vocacion convertirse en tierra de alianza?

¿Quién es Jesús? ¿Quién es Jesús para un cristiano? Los que no tienen fe preguntarán para conocer el cristianismo. Los que tienen fe, para conocer a Cristo. Este libro, escrito por un católico, da una respuesta. No es un tratado de Teologia, ni un estudio de Historia. Sencillamente, da a conocer a Jesus, lo que significa como Cristo para el cristianismo, para los cristianos. Es la Biblia, en sus versiculos, quien habla de Jesus. El autor de esta obra se ha limitado a espigar los que aqui aparecen. Hay mas, pues "la mies es mucha". El lector, si quiere, tambien puede ir a recolectarlos. Estos y otros muchos. Recibira su recompensa abundante y desbordante.

"Recuerda y vivirás" es una introducción a un extenso corpus bíblico llamado "historia deuteronomista" (Dt 1 - 2 Re 25), integrado mayoritariamente por narraciones que pretenden legar la memoria del pueblo de Israel sentando las bases de su identidad. A traves de estos relatos, los grupos productores de los textos ofrecen su esquema de valores sobre lo deseable y lo reprobable, tejiendo su propia teologia de la historia. Andrea Hojman propone un abordaje panoramico que supera las frecuentes lecturas fragmentarias y se adentra desde distintos enfoques en tres temas centrales: la tierra, el liderazgo y el culto. Este libro se dirige a un auditorio amplio deseoso de iniciar nuevos caminos de lectura biblica y ofrece tambien algunas pistas de lecturas que dialogan con el texto biblico desde diversas inquietudes contemporaneas.

Los movimientos migratorios y la convivencia entre culturas constituyen uno de los mayores desafíos a los que se enfrenta la sociedad contemporánea. El pueblo de Israel inició su andadura sabiéndose "el otro" en Egipto, y la traumatica experiencia del exilio en Babilonia fue crucial en la configuracion de su identidad. Las aportaciones recogidas en este volumen ofrecen un recorrido sugerente por el Antiguo Testamento, desde el Pentateuco a la literatura sapiencial pasando por los profetas, Rut, Daniel y Tobias. Una aproximacion necesariamente plural, puesto que las circunstancias historicas de cada epoca conformaron diferentes sensibilidades hacia el extranjero. Una contribucion, desde los estudios biblicos al desarrollo de una mayor sensibilidad hacia la diversidad y a la construccion de una sociedad mas solidaria e inclusiva.

Tras presentar la exégesis canónica y sus pioneros (B. S. Childs, R. Rendtorff y J. A. Sanders), ofrecemos un estudio monográfico de la filiación divina del justo en el libro de la Sabiduría (Sab 2,12-3,9;5,1-16) desde la perspectiva canonica. Dicho justo se caracteriza por cuatro rasgos: lleva una vida santa, es perseguido y asesinado por los impios, recibe la salvacion escatologica y se tiene por hijo de Dios. Tanto la literatura biblica como la apocrifa presentan justos semejantes. Entre estos destacan el siervo de Yave, el salmista del Sal 22(21) y el rey davidico en los libros canonicos; entre los apocrifos sobresalen los justos del Henoc etiopico, el Maestro de Justicia (Qumran), Job (TestJob), Eleazar (3 Mac) y Asenet (JosAs). Sin embargo, ninguno tiene simultaneamente los cuatro rasgos del justo-hijo de Dios de Sabiduria. Solo el Nuevo Testamento menciona un justo asi. Es Jesus de Nazaret. Este dato historico-literario tiene interesantes consecuencias.

The Kingdom of God Is Within You is a metaphysical essay written by Leo Tolstoy. As a result of Tolstoys lengthy deliberation, it presents a new structure for the world built on an understanding of Christianity through the lens of universal love.

In "The Kingdom of God Is Within You," Leo Tolstoy presents a profound exploration of spirituality and ethical living, challenging conventional religious institutions. Written in the aftermath of his personal spiritual crisis, the book is a blend of autobiographical reflections, philosophical inquiry, and moral teachings, imbued with a powerful moral urgency. Tolstoy employs a didactic literary style, utilizing clear and direct prose that engages readers at both intellectual and emotional levels. This work stands as a seminal text within the literature of spiritual awakening, reflecting the tumultuous socio-political climate of post-19th-century Russia, and calling for a return to the essential teachings of Christ, stripped of dogma and ritualism. Tolstoy, a major literary figure known for epic novels such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," experienced a profound transformation in his beliefs as he grappled with the meaning of life and the nature of faith. His growing disillusionment with organized religion spurred him to explore the teachings of Jesus, seeking a path toward authentic spirituality and ethical action. This philosophical odyssey culminated in the writing of this work, which not only reflects his personal convictions but also serves as a guide for those seeking truth beyond societal constraints. I highly recommend "The Kingdom of God Is Within You" to readers intrigued by the intersections of literature, philosophy, and spirituality. Tolstoys insights provide a compelling narrative that invites contemplation and inspires action, making this book an essential read for anyone seeking deeper understanding of faith and morality in contemporary society.

In "The Kingdom of God Is Within You," Leo Tolstoy presents a profound exploration of spirituality and moral philosophy, challenging the dogmas of organized religion and advocating for a direct connection with the divine. Written in a contemplative yet accessible prose, this work reflects Tolstoys shift towards radical Christian anarchism in the late 19th century, merging elements of existentialism and folk wisdom. The book articulates his belief that true spirituality is found not in rituals or institutions, but in the active practice of love, selflessness, and harmony with ones fellow beings. Tolstoy, a literary titan renowned for his epic novels like "War and Peace," was profoundly influenced by his own spiritual crises and sociopolitical observations. His conversion to a more ascetic lifestyle and profound ethical inquiries were catalyzed by personal turmoil and the suffering he witnessed in society. This transition prompted him to critique the prevailing norms of authority and suggest a life rooted in personal integrity, aligning closely with the teachings of Jesus, which he espoused fervently in this treatise. "The Kingdom of God Is Within You" is essential reading for those seeking to understand the interplay between faith, morality, and humanity. Tolstoys insightful reflections encourage readers to embark on their own spiritual journeys, urging them to look inward for truth and self-realization. This timeless work continues to resonate, offering wisdom that transcends cultural and religious boundaries.

Neste ano, o tema do "Mês da Bíblia" é a Carta de Paulo aos Gálatas e o lema é "Todos vós sois um só em Cristo Jesus" (Gl 3,28d), extraído do "hino batismal", descrito em Gl 3,26-28, quando Paulo afi

Das vorliegende Buch behandelt das Leben und Werk des bedeutenden protestantischen deutschen Theologen Dietrich Bonhoeffer (2.2.1906 - 9.4.1945), der im Widerstand gegen Hitler sein Leben gelassen hat. Der Titel geht auf das im Gefangnis verfasste beruhmte letzte Gedicht Bonhoeffers zuruck. Im Zentrum der Ausfuhrungen stehen Dietrich Bonhoeffers Lebensweg und die Umwelt, die sein Denken mit gepragt hat: Wie war der familiare Hintergrund des evangelischen Pfarrers, der ohne binnenkirchlichen Hintergrund von auen in die Kirche kam und fur das Evangelium Jesu Christi eingetreten ist wie kein anderer seiner Zunft in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus? Sodann geht es um das Werk, das Dietrich Bonhoeffer der Nachwelt hinterlassen hat und das grotenteils erst nach seinem Tode zur Veroffentlichung gelangte: Was macht das Denken des Theologen aus, der im Alter von 21 Jahren seine theologische Doktorarbeit beendete, mit 24 Jahren alle Vorraussetzungen fur eine akademische Karriere zum Professor erfullt hatte und sich dennoch dafur entschied, mit seinen vielfaltigen Begabungen der Kirche zu dienen? Und schlielich: An welchen Stellen ist die Wirkung des Mannes, der aus seinem Glauben heraus am militarischen Widerstand gegen den Diktator Hitler beteiligt war, heute noch spurbar - welcher Glaube, welche Uberzeugungen und welche Motive stehen hinter Dietrich Bonhoeffers Handeln und sind fur ihn leitend gewesen? Und was konnen wir heute daraus lernen?Das vorliegende Buch ist fur alle, die auf Bonhoeffers Leben, Denken, Glauben und Handeln neugierig sind; fur interessierte Christinnen und Christen aller Fachrichtungen; fur alle, die an der kirchlichen Zeitgeschichte und an der Geschichte des deutschen Widerstandes gegen Hitler interessiert sind; fur alle Frauen und alle Manner, die mit Bonhoeffers Welt einmal in Beruhrung gekommen sind und jetzt gerne tiefer in die Materie eintauchen mochten; fur anspruchsvolle Jugendliche, die eine Orientierung im Glauben suchen; fur Theologen und Nicht-Theologen und fur philosophisch Interessierte, die gerne uber sich selbst und uber Gott und die Welt nachdenken. Das Buch will dazu beitragen, sich einem Christen anzunahern, der fur seinen Glauben und fur seine Mitmenschen in unmenschlicher Zeit eingetreten ist.

Volkslieder haben in Deutschland einen schweren Stand. Kritiker finden sie naiv und sentimental. Sie sehen in ihnen einen belasteten Heimatbegriff und ewig gestrige Inhalte. Liebhaber dagegen mogen Volkslieder, ihre schone, einfache Melodie. Sie schatzen ihre Texte, die sie mitnehmen in die Landschaft, indie Natur, auf die Wanderschaft. In diesem Fur und Wider stehen die Volkslieder. Dennoch konnen sie uns sehnsuchtig und nachdenklich stimmen und uns in ihren Bann ziehen. Vor allem sind sie "ein wichtiger Bestandteil deutscher Musikkultur, schon und wertvoll." (Starbariton Thomas Quasthoff).Volkslieder sind nicht nur schon zu singen, sie erzahlen auchviel vom Glauben an Gott, vom Glauben an das Gute imMenschen. Bei zwanzig mehr oder weniger bekanntenLiedtexten werden die religiosen Aspekte aufgezeigt. Daruntersind auch Lieder, bei denen man dies gar nicht vermutet hatte.Lassen Sie sich mitnehmen auf eine Volksliederreise, die unseinen Blick in Gottes Welt eroffnet und uns das Schopfungslobprasentiert..

Recent theology has seen a renewed vigour in debates about the nature and character of God. Juan Cruz turns to one of the prophetic books in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Micah, to consider the metaphors it uses to portray the God of Israel and what they reveal about the deity. The book of Micah contains two dominant types of metaphor for Yahweh, namely the legal metaphors in 1:216 and 6:116 and the pastoral metaphors in 2:1213, 4:67, 5:14a and 7:1420. The former type of metaphors presents Yahweh in a courtroom setting, where he accuses his people of their sins, brings a lawsuit against them, and pronounces their judgement. The pastoral metaphors, on the other hand, describe Yahweh as the shepherd of his people, primarily concerned with the restoration and well-being of Israel. The two sets of metaphors therefore respectively present Yahweh in a positive and a negative light. Drawing on insights from philosophy and literary studies, and making particular use of the theories of Benjamin Harshav, Juan Cruz explores the divine metaphors by analysing the arguments they make within their respective literary units and in the context of the whole book, as well as the significant tensions that develop between the metaphors. The volume provides helpful tools to analyse metaphors for God, which may be also used for analysis of non-divine metaphors, and should contribute to our theological understanding of God in the Hebrew Bible, most especially in the book of Micah, a book whose title bears the meaning, "Who is like Yahweh?".

Patristic and rabbinic biblical interpretations are significant contributions to the identity construction of late antique Christian and Jewish groups. The contributions in this conference volume illuminate the reception of biblical texts, themes and figures in patristic and rabbinic writings from the 2nd to the 8th century. They reveal processes of mutual demarcation, which are sometimes extremely polemical, sometimes only implicit and indirectly accessible. The correct interpretation of Scripture is claimed for ones own "we", while at the same time distinguishing it from the "others". Nevertheless, similarities and mutual positive references are clearly recognizable. Especially the often so polemical Christian interpretation is from the beginning rooted in the Jewish tradition and based on it. But also the rabbinic interpretation shows traces of the controversy with Christianity.
