Esta obra es un verdadero manual de estrategia espiritual para intentar alcanzar la perfección cristiana a la que todas las personas son llamadas por Jesucristo.

El Libro de las Fundaciones es la historia de un entusiasmo, la crónica de una Reforma, gemela y alternativa a la luterana, llevada a cabo por santa Teresa y escrita a lo largo del decenio final de su vida. El texto ha sido rigurosamente revisado siguiendo el de la ultima edicion critica-facsimil del autografo teresiano (Tomas Alvarez, 2003), lo que ha permitido incorporar numerosas correcciones con respecto a las ediciones anteriores. Asimismo, conlleva abundantes notas de caracter filologico, historico y doctrinal, con el fin de facilitar la lectura, la comprension del texto y el acceso a todo tipo de lectores, conforme al deseo de la propia autora y con su misma invitacion: Las Fundaciones van ya al cabo. Creo se ha de holgar de que las vea, porque es cosa sabrosa. Teresa de Jesus es una mujer nada comun que estuvo fuertemente comprometida con un compromiso critico, no exento de protesta con la sociedad de su tiempo. Un compromiso que la llevo a fundar dieciseis conventos de monjas y otros tantos de frailes en un tiempo record. Y esto en una epoca antifeminista y de analfabetismo generalizado. Su fuerte personalidad, su protagonismo, su fina ironia, convierten sus obras, escritas por mandato de sus confesores, en una fuente de primer orden, un observatorio excepcional, para ver al vivo numerosas realidades de aquella España de la segunda mitad del sigloXVI.

En la presente edicion, obra de Antonio Granado Bellido, se ha modernizado el lenguaje, respetando el contenido de lo que san Juan de Avila quiso transmitir a sus lectores, con la intencion de facilitar su lectura.

John Calvins *Institutes of the Christian Religion* stands as a monumental work in Reformation literature, meticulously articulating his theological perspectives and ecclesiastical vision. Written in a didactic style, infused with scriptural exegesis and philosophical rigor, the *Institutes* explore themes of divine sovereignty, predestination, and the nature of faith.

His rigorous intellectual background and pastoral zeal resonate throughout this pivotal work, which has influenced generations of theologians. Readers seeking a profound understanding of Reformed Christianity and its foundational principles will find Calvins *Institutes* indispensable. Its rigorous argumentation, combined with its devotional spirit, invites both scholars and seekers alike to engage with the complexities of faith, offering insights that remain relevant in contemporary theological discourse.

Eusebius had access to the Theological Library of Caesarea and made use of many ecclesiastical monuments and documents, acts of the martyrs, letters, extracts from earlier Christian writings, lists of bishops, and similar sources, often quoting the originals at great length so that his work contains materials not elsewhere preserved. The result was the first full-length historical narrative written from a Christian point of view.
