Non omnis moriar nace de las particulares circunstancias que imprimen a este libro de homenaje al Prof. Dr. Santiago Madrigal Terrazas su sello más peculiar: pensado y elaborado no desde el gabinete de trabajo teologico, sino desde el lecho del dolor.En sus paginas queda reflejado un itinerario vital plasmado en el ejercicio del oficio de la Teologia durante tres decadas.

Sanz Gimenez-Rico, "Santiago Madrigal, jesuita y comilles"; y del Decano de la Facultad de Teologia, F. Ramirez Fueyo, "Raices y consolidacion de un magisterio teologico". El libro se completa con una seleccion de doce textos que son reflejo de una fecunda trayectoria investigadora y expresion de los principales intereses teologicos de una vida intelectual y academica interrumpida abruptamente.La imagen de portada, la talla del Cristo sonriente de Javier, recapitula de forma grafica el misterio de nuestra fe que late en el adagio latino non omnis moriar: algo de mi permanecera para siempre. En esta representacion de la humanidad transfigurada, el Hijo de Dios ha incorporado en su encarnacion su propia humanidad y la nuestra, estableciendo la victoria definitiva sobre el dolor, el sufrimiento y la muerte.

Dentro del discurso moderno sobre la fe, la teología de la liberación hace una demoledora crítica de la modernidad/colonialidad. Sin embargo, esta innovadora visión no debe ser calificada, en sentido peyorativo, de antimoderna o de posmoderna. Asimismo, ¿por que debemos considerar a la teologia de la liberacion como un antecedente historico y epistemico del "giro decolonial" en el pensamiento critico? ¿Cuales son las afinidades electivas entre la ecologia y la teologia de la liberacion? ¿Cuales son las principales caracteristicas de la teologia de la liberacion como constelacion intelectual utopica?Este es el primer ensayo que explora de manera sistematica las relaciones entre la ecologia y la teologia de la liberacion. El analisis de la evolucion intelectual y espiritual del teologo brasileño Leonardo Boff es la base Ecologia y teologia de la liberacion, que, a su vez, combina la sociologia de la religion (de Max Weber hasta Daniele Hervieu-Leger), la sociologia (marxista) de la cultura (Lucien Goldmann) y de las utopias (Ernst Bloch) y las teorias decoloniales (Enrique Dussel) para aportar una perspectiva interdisciplinaria y original a la discusion y dialogo en el seno de la teologia de la liberacion. Asi, este libro se añade al apasionante debate entre el vinculo con la ecologia y la religion.

Ante los resultados de las neurociencias, nos podemos preguntar cuáles son los valores y cuáles los límites del estudio sobre el funcionamiento del cerebro. ¿Los procesos electroquímicos que existen entre las neuronas pueden explicar la realidad constitutiva del yo personal, de la propia conciencia, de la creatividad intelectual y artistica de los seres humanos? ¿Deberiamos llegar a la conclusion de que la persona humana es simplemente una maquina fisica? ¿El libre albedrio es una ilusion y la explicacion neurocientifica exime de la responsabilidad de la culpa? ¿No tenemos la capacidad de decidir libremente sobre lo que es razonable o erroneo, sobre lo que es bueno o malo? Tras valorar los progresos de las ultimas investigaciones, se deben precisar claramente los limites que se deducen de los resultados de las neurociencias y mostrar las dimensiones humanas que no tienen explicacion fisica y, por tanto, quedan abiertas al cosmos espiritual.

Foreword INDIES Award Finalist IVP Readers Choice AwardIn an age where neither society nor the church knows what to do with gay Christians, Greg Coles tells his own story.Lets make a deal, you and me. Lets make promises to each other.I promise to tell you my story. The whole story. Ill tell you about a boy in love with Jesus who, at the fateful onset of puberty, realized his sexual attractions were persistently and exclusively for other guys. Ill tell you how I lay on my bed in the middle of the night and whispered to myself the words Ive whispered a thousand times since:"Im gay."Ill show you the world through my eyes. Ill tell you what its like to belong nowhere. To know that much of my Christian family will forever consider me unnatural, dangerous, because of something that feels as involuntary as my eye color. And to know that much of the LGBTQ community that shares my experience as a sexual minority will disagree with the way Ive chosen to interpret the call of Jesus, believing Ive bought into a tragic, archaic ritual of self-hatred.But I promise my story wont all be sadness and loneliness and struggle. Ill tell you good things too, hopeful things, funny things, like the time I accidentally came out to my best friend during his bachelor party. Ill tell you what it felt like the first time someone looked me in the eyes and said, "You are not a mistake." Ill tell you that joy and sorrow are not opposites, that my life has never been more beautiful than when it was most brokenhearted.If youll listen, I promise Ill tell you everything, and you can decide for yourself what you want to believe about me.

What kind of leader would you be if you were suddenly handed more power? What if you got that promotion you wanted or a headhunter called tomorrow offering you your dream job? Would your leadership be an example of servanthood and justice, or would you give in to the temptations that power always presents?In the time it took Samuel to pour oil on each of their heads, Saul and David both moved from unknown kids to kings of Israel. Their responses to that promotion had radically different outcomes. Saul made God sorry he had made him king. David brought joy to God as a man after his own heart. What about you? What would happen if God suddenly promoted you? A simple way to find out is to evaluate what your leadership looks like right now, and this book gives you the opportunity to do just that. Read about the intriguing similarities between Saul and David and the different choices they made that shaped their leadership. Then compare basic qualities of your leadership to each of theirs. You may be surprised at the qualities God values in a leader. Leadership development is a lifetime process. No matter your age or leadership experience, there is still time to grow into a leader that brings more joy to Gods heart. Take the journey. It could have some wonderful rewards.

La reflexión y la profundización que la comunidad de los creyentes ha hecho en torno a la figura de María a lo largo de los siglos han referido siempre a la Hija de Sión a los misterios de Cristo y de la Iglesia. Asi lo puso de relieve el Concilio Vaticano II que, en el capitulo VIII de la Lumen Gentium, realiza una sintesis equilibrada y trata a Maria desde una perspectiva cristologica y eclesial. No es posible entender la figura de Maria si no es en referencia a Cristo y a su Iglesia.

Examines recent postmodern efforts to redefine the traditional evangelical view of scriptural authority and counters with sound logic that supports inerrancy.Due to recent popular challenges to evangelical doctrine, biblical inerrancy is a topic receiving an increasing amount of attention among theologians and other scholars. Here G. K. Beale attempts vigorously and even-handedly to examine the writings of one leading postmodernist, Peter Enns, whose writings challenge biblical authority. In support of inerrancy, Beale presents his own set of challenges to the postmodern suppositions of Enns and others.How can the Bible be historically inaccurate while still serving as the authoritative word on morality and salvation? Beale concludes that it cannot, and his work will aid all who support biblical inerrancy in defending their position against postmodern attacks. This is an issue that affects the entire body of Christ.

Anyone who has suffered knows that there is no such thing as "getting a grip on oneself" or "pulling oneself up by the bootstraps. The only bootstrap in the Christian life is the Cross," says Mason. "Sometimes laying hold of the cross can be comforting, but other times it is like picking up a snake."Job knew this firsthand. From him we learn that there are no easy answers to suffering. That the mark of true faith is not happiness, but rather, having ones deepest passions be engaged by the enormity of God. And through Job we learn the secret of the gospel: that "mercy is the permission to be human." The Lord never gave Job an explanation for all he had been through. His only answer was Himself. But as Job discovered, that was enough.The Gospel According to Job sensitively brings the reader to this realization, using a devotional commentary format that reminds them that its all right to doubt, to be confused, to wonderin short, to be completely human. But what will heal us and help us endure is a direct, transforming encounter with the living God.

"Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation." 1 Peter 2:2Its a fact of life: our health declines if we dont nourish our bodies every day with food and water. Thats true physically. Its true spiritually as well.If we neglect to regularly feed our souls on the Holy Scriptures, our faith becomes weak and we start to lose touch with our Savior. Growth is stifled... if it happens at all.Drawing Near, used daily in combination with Gods Holy Word, can not only help bring you closer to God but also keep you from spiritual stagnation. This book will guide you in a growing relationship with Him.As Pastor MacArthur says in his Introduction: "Our entertainment-conscious, quick-fix, fast-food society does everything it can to divert us from setting aside time to study Gods Word. As you well know from your own efforts, Bible study is not often entertainingits hard work. It takes discipline to set aside time each day to reap the benefits such study has to offer. If you reach an impasse when its time to sit down, open your Bible, and try to decide what to do, youre not alone. Without some plan to follow, its easy to become frustrated and eventually give up after only one or two days. Thats where this book comes in."If you desire greater understanding of the precious Word of God, if you want a daily guide to draw you closer to the Lord, this outstanding collections of 365 devotional readings by one of Americas most respected and trusted Bible teachers is for you!

The modern era is over. Assumptions that shaped twentieth-century thought and culture, the bridges we crossed to this present moment, have blown up. The postmodern age has begun.Just what is postmodernism? The average person would be shocked by its creed: Truth, meaning, and individual identity do not exist. These are social constructs. Human life has no special significance, no more value than animal or plant life. All social relationships, all institutions, all moral values are expressions and masks of the primal will to power.Alarmingly, these ideas have gripped the nations universities, which turn out todays lawyers, judges, writers, journalists, teachers, and other culture-shapers. Through societys influences, postmodernist ideas have seeped into films, television, art, literature, politics; and, without his knowing it, into the head of the average person on the street.Christ has called us to proclaim the gospel to a culture grappling with postmodernism. We must understand our times. Then, through the power that Christ gives, we can counter the prevailing culture and proclaim His sufficiency to our societys very points of need.
