Christianity Today Book Award The Gospel Coalition Book Award"I believe he descended to the dead."The descent of Jesus Christ to the dead has been a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, as indicated by its inclusion in both the Apostles and Athanasian Creeds. Falling between remembrance of Christs death on Good Friday and of his resurrection on Easter Sunday, this affirmation has been a cause for Christian worship and reflection on Holy Saturday through the centuries.At the same time, the descent has been the subject of suspicion and scrutiny, perhaps especially from evangelicals, some of whom do not find support for it within Scripture and have even called for it to be excised from the creeds.Against this conflicted landscape, Matthew Emerson offers an exploration of the biblical, historical, theological, and practical implications of the descent. Led by the mystery and wonder of Holy Saturday, he encourages those who profess faith in Christ to consider the whole work of our Savior.

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?

"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.

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.

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.
