Elaine Pagels revolucionó nuestra comprensión de los orígenes del cristianismo con sus obras Los Evangelios Gnósticos y El Evangelio de Judas. Ahora, en la cumbre de una larga trayectoria, aborda la figura mas trascendental: Jesus. En Asombro y milagros emprende la busqueda de como un desconocido joven de Galilea inspiro una religion que cambio el curso de la historia.El libro se lee como un thriller historico, en el que cada capitulo descifra un enigma a la luz de los Evangelios: ¿por que se afirma que Jesus nacio de una virgen?, ¿que significado oculto tienen sus milagros?, ¿como surgio la creencia en su resurreccion?La pluma de Pagels despliega un relato vibrante en el que no solo Jesus cobra vida, sino tambien sus seguidores. De esta forma, entendemos que algunos de los detalles mas convincentes de la vida del mesias son en realidad explicaciones que sus discipulos ingeniaron para encubrir hechos incomodos, como, por ejemplo, que Jesus fue un hijo ilegitimo; o que su cuerpo fue abandonado de manera humillante para pudrirse y ser arrojado a una fosa comun. El relato oficial dice que resucito de entre los muertos y se mostro a sus apostoles con su cuerpo glorificado. Jesus no es un mesias fallido, su reino es una metafora: el vive en nosotros.Trascendiendo la investigacion historica Asombro y milagros es una indagacion sobre el poder eterno de Jesus para inspirar a la humanidad.

El relato de la auténtica (y desconocida) historia del nacimiento del cristianismo, narrada por dos de los principales especialistas en la materia.Según la versión transmitida tradicionalmente, el cristianismo surgio en su forma ya acabada a partir de la predicacion de Jesus de Nazaret, cuyo inalterado mensaje se cristalizo unos siglos mas tarde en la Iglesia.Sin embargo, la evidencia historica muestra una realidad bien distinta. Tras la muerte de Jesus, proliferaron variadas comunidades de creyentes, con enfoques, creencias, objetivos y filiaciones muy distintos entre si. Harian falta mas de dos siglos para que uno de esos multiples cristianismos acabara imponiendose sobre los demas, institucionalizando su particular version como la unica.El proposito de este libro es ofrecer una vision rigurosa y documentada de esos primeros años de existencia del cristianismo.

¿Cómo sabemos que el Nuevo Testamento es confiable? Es una cuestión importante, pero los debates sobre si el Nuevo Testamento es históricamente exacto pueden ser tediosos y abrumadores.

Esta es la verdad: podemos confiar en el Nuevo Testamento no solo por su exactitud historica, sino tambien como guia para la vida.

Whether at home or abroad, communicating with people of other cultures is difficult. It requires new ways of thinking and interpreting the world.

Elmer gives numerous stories and examples from his experience and from others to show how handling conflict well builds solid relationships. With an eye out for biblical principles, he looks at a variety of sticky questions in Scripture. This is a book not just of theory but of practical models of conflict resolution.Pastors, evangelists, business people, missionaries, students--anyone who wants to communicate more effectively with neighbors and colleagues--will find this book immensely helpful.

How to Make Sense of Jesus Divine ClaimsDo you ever wonder if Jesus really claimed to be God? Maybe youve heard people say, "Jesus never said he was God," or youve been asked, "Why believe Jesus is divine if he never claimed it?" These challenges arent just from non-Christiansthey show up in church, too. Even if youre not coming from a place of skepticism, you might still question how well church teachings about Jesus match up with what he actually said. So, did the historical Jesus really claim to be divine?This book is here to give you confidence in the historicity of Jesus claim to divinity. Its designed to help you explain your faith in a world that increasingly doubts the Bibles portrayal of Jesus. Instead of focusing on what Jesus followers believed, this book takes a different approachit looks at what Jesus enemies thought. How did they interpret his words and actions? Their perspective can help you understand the historical validity of Jesus divine claim.In this book, biblical scholar Mikel Del Rosario uses historiography to examine claims about Jesus divinity, analyzes ancient Greco-Roman, Jewish, and biblical sources to understand how Jesus words and actions were interpreted by his adversaries and followers, and argues that Jesus claimed divine authority, a claim supported by strong historical evidence. If youre a Christian, this book will equip you to defend your faith against theories that suggest Jesus only claimed human authority, not divine. 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. Whether youre searching for answers to your own questions or trying to share about Jesus with others, this book will help you communicate Jesus divine claim with clarity and confidence.

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.

Discover the story of salvation in Christ through Levitical ritualsAtonement lies at the heart of the Christian faith. In Christs work of atonement, we are reconciled to God, enabled to draw near to him, and can see his glory. Through studying the Levitical burnt offering, Roy McDaniel takes readers on a deep exploration of Leviticus 1:1-9 in this thought-provoking volume, part of the Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture series from IVP Academic. Using elements of narrative analysis like setting, plot, and hero, McDaniel shows how the Levitical burnt offering is a ritual recapitulation of the narrative of Israels election and deliverance as depicted in Genesis and Exodus, and how in doing so, it proclaims the atoning work of Christ.At the heart of this work lies the "logic" of atonement, present in the Levitical burnt offering, an idea that contributes to the doctrine of atonement by demonstrating how Christs incarnate sacrifice is rooted in his eternal identity as God the Son.In Enacting Atonement, Roy McDaniel: Provides a coherent account of atonement centered on the eternal identity of the Son, Shows how Levitical sacrifice can inform the churchs doctrine of atonement by modeling a careful theological exegesis of Leviticus, and Explores questions about the meaning of sacrifice and its relationship to the being and attributes of God. Whether youre a scholar, student, pastor-theologian, or a layperson seeking deeper understanding, Enacting Atonement invites you to uncover the rich tapestry of Gods redemptive narrative in the Levitical ritual.
