If youre someone who sees Christianity differently, this book offers a serious investigation into the claims of the historical Jesus, providing evidence that any theory of his identity must address.

Las perspectivas que reúne esta obra buscan ensanchar las miradas teológicas que tenemos acerca de las pobrezas. Se trata de un trabajo coral con un objetivo común, que es el de comprender algunas de las razones que empujan especialmente a las mujeres a formar parte de los entornos de precariedad.Cada una de las autoras inciden en que habitamos en un sistema de hondas interrelaciones que perpetuan la vulnerabilidad y en el que las mujeres, de modo reiterado, se ven abocadas con mayor facilidad a las situaciones que provocan empobrecimiento, descarte o incluso expulsion. Estas formas de precarizacion tienen que ver tanto con los modelos economicos establecidos -por ejemplo, de acceso energetico- como con sus formas de representacion en la vida publica.El objetivo de este conjunto de contribuciones es iniciar un dialogo que nos permita elaborar teologias mas emancipadoras.
