Este livro tem como objetivo repensar o conceito de forma do sacramento, em geral, e da Eucaristia, em particular, ou seja, pretende lançar um olhar atencioso sobre um novo modo de entender a forma, ampla e complexa, atentando-se a articulaço ritual da celebraço. No horizonte do percurso historico da teologia sacramental e da pratica concreta da celebraço liturgica, o autor, sobretudo, evidencia como a rigida barreira levantada entre a forma ritual e o conteudo doutrinal do sacramento tem prejudicado a propria percepço do culto na teologia e a elaboraço de um pensamento teologico respeitoso dos dados celebrativos no ambito dos tratados sobre os sacramentos.

"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!

In every era the church needs revivalcertainly today as much as ever. And in the heart of every committed Christian there is the longing for personal revivalto know the quality and depths of spiritual reality, and the presence of God in ones personal life.This was the deepest desire of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, one of the great 20th-century Bible expositors. It was also the purpose behind this series of messages which were first given on the 100th anniversary of the Great Revival which started in Wales, and swept across England and throughout the United States and to the far corners of the world. As Dr. Lloyd-Jones recognized, it is a rare time in the history of the church when there is a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit and a time of special interest of every Christian who longs for revival today.As Dr. J. I. Packer writes in his foreword, Dr. Lloyd-Jones believed in "the necessity of revivalthat is, a quickening divine visitationas the only vent that can avert ultimate spiritual disaster. The thrustful urgency of the sermons in this book testifies to the depth of his conviction that without revival in the church there is really no hope for the Western world at all."Dr. Lloyd-Jones deftly draws principles from the lives of Old and New Testament characters as well as expounding some of the great prayers of the Bible. Clearly and forcefully, he presents a masterful exposition of the circumstances accompanying revival in the past, why each generation needs it, and how it will come about today. We must come to the sovereign God, forsake our sin, and wait upon Him for this special, essential outpouring. God, bring us revival!

The world of special needs is filled with statistics: in the United States, about 17 percent of children have a diagnosed developmental disability, and 14 percent of public school students receive special education services. But behind these statistics are storiesstories of children struggling to fit into a world that wasnt designed for them, and stories of parents giving everything they have to advocate for their children. Most of these parents didnt choose this path; they were thrust upon it unknowing, unprepared, and often overwhelmed. They may struggle to talk about their experiences in relatable ways with family, friends, and even God.Special Grace is a collection of 127 prayers for all aspects of life for families with special needs. Here are prayers for family life, school, and church; prayers for an initial diagnosis, for the first day of school, and for celebrating a milestone. Each section is set off by a reflective essay from Evanss own family life. Filled with humor and wisdom, these prayers and reflections will help families process their experiences together and offer them to God with hope and simple trust.In moments when the cries of your heart leave you speechless, Special Grace provides words you can bring before your Father in heaven.

Throughout history, there have been certain figures who have stood the test of time and had an enduring impact on the church at large. One such person was the famed Welsh preacher Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

Each sermon in this volume is preceded by a unique introduction detailing when it was preached, what Lloyd-Jones was doing at the time, why the historical context gave rise to the sermon, and how its message relates to the modern world. Compiled and expertly edited by his daughter and grandson, this powerful anthology will help Christians learn from Lloyd-Joness prophetic preachingeven today.

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. Su nucleo es un testimonio acerca del "viaje definitivo" y la confrontacion con la "hermana muerte", "puesto ya el pie en el estribo () llevo la vida sobre el deseo que tengo de vivir", como escribiera Cervantes.Este testimonio se ve acompañado por un Prologo de homenaje a tres voces, que incluye las palabras del Papa Francisco, "Una mistagogia eclesial ignaciana"; del rector de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas, E. 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.

Martín Lutero (1483-1546) desarrolló la faceta de polemista a lo largo de toda su vida. Su conocimiento exhaustivo y preciso de la Biblia y su lenguaje directo, agresivo e irrespetuoso, con frecuencia rayano en el insulto, lo convertian en un temible adversario. En El siervo albedrio (1525), obra de gran calado teologico que expone la doctrina de la justificacion por la fe, la Reforma luterana se lanza en tromba contra el humanismo representado por Erasmo de Roterdam y su defensa del libre albedrio. Los otros dos escritos aqui reunidos, Sobre el papado de Roma (1520) y Contra Hanswurst (1541), son relevantes para entender el concepto de Iglesia que propugnaba Lutero.

La pornografía infantil se ha convertido en una realidad muy presente en nuestras sociedades y, paulatinamente, también, en el elenco de delitos de muchos ordenamientos jurídicos. Esta tendencia regulatoria general se ha unido en la Iglesia a la crisis de los abusos sexuales.El delito canonico de pornografia infantil pretende contribuir a la clarificacion de algunas cuestiones generales y basicas: en que medida son equiparables la pornografia infantil y los abusos sexuales infantiles; cual es la razon por la que se castigan estas conductas y cuales son los bienes juridicos a los que afecta; que es la pornografia; hasta que punto podemos atribuir un sentido patrimonial a las conductas de poseer y de adquirir cuando se dan en el mundo digital; que relevancia tiene el hecho de que las conductas se realicen con animo libidinoso o sin inmoralidad alguna.Para responder a estas preguntas el libro ahonda en la tradicion canonica, en la regulacion juridica de varios paises y organismos internacionales, asi como en la doctrina y la jurisprudencia mas significativa.La idea de fondo es contribuir a dotar de mayor seguridad juridica la comprension de los tipos penales en el derecho canonico.

Se inserta el cambio identitario de la Compañía de Jesús en el contexto de las transformaciones del catolicismo en la Modernidad. Una vez que surge la corriente del Romanticismo entre los pensadores catolicos, la Iglesia catolica empieza a apropiarse de ese discurso frente a los desafios de la Modernidad. Asi es como el tradicional ultramontanismo se vuelve un ultramontanismo romantico y antimoderno. La Compañia de Jesus se restaura en la misma epoca en que acontece esta romantizacion del ultramontanismo. Los jesuitas empiezan a generar un discurso compatible con el romanticismo, pues se consideran victimas que fueron suprimidas por enemigos del cristianismo. Es asi como la Compañia de Jesus en la Modernidad redefine su identidad con base en una nueva autoridad: la del Soberano Pontifice. El libro estudia como es que la Antigua Compañia de Jesus tenia una autoridad distinta, y por ende su identidad no era la misma que la de la Nueva Compañia. Estos cambios sucedieron en Europa, pero eventualmente llegaron a Mexico, aunque tardiamente. Los jesuitas en la Nueva España, antes de la expulsion de 1767, tenian un papel mucho mas importante que en Europa al dominar en la educacion y al organizar la vida social en las misiones del Norte. Dejaron un gran vacio hasta que regresaron en 1816, y pronto reanudaron sus importantes labores. No obstante, fueron nuevamente suprimidos. Asi continuaron hasta el Porfiriato, cuando se estabilizo la presencia de jesuitas. Pero estos jesuitas no eran los antiguos jesuitas de tradicion hispanica, sino que eran ya jesuitas romantizados como en Europa. Esto explica por que, casi repentinamente, a partir de la decada de 1880, los jesuitas empiezan a encabezar la forma embrionaria de la "Accion Catolica". Esta actividad cobrara la misma forma politizada y beligerante que tenia en Europa solo cuando aparezca la Revolucion anticlerical a Mexico: la Revolucion Mexicana y su eventual prolongacion en las Guerras Cristeras. La autoridad y la identidad de los jesuitas tendran su apogeo precisamente en estos acontecimientos. Sin embargo, en Europa la circunstancia era ya diferente: la nocion decimononica de la autoridad comienza a desgastarse, y el sintoma mas evidente de ello fue el surgimiento de los Fascismos. Lo mismo sucede con la legitimidad que tenia el Romano Pontifice y en particular la autoridad del Preposito General de la Compañia de Jesus. Es el momento en que la autoridad se vuelve un autoritarismo. Esto tiene sus repercusiones en la Compañia de Jesus porque, como la autoridad condicionaba su identidad, esta se ve tambien desgastada. Este libro recorre la historia desde que surgen una nueva autoridad y una nueva identidad de la Compañia de Jesus en 1814 hasta que comienza su final en 1929.

Ha llegado el momento de poner en práctica en la teología el lema de la Ilustración: ¡Atrévete a pensar!Religiones, teología, espiritualidad, ética y política: he aquí los temas centrales de este libro, que replantea y reformula los nucleos fundamentales de las religiones y, especialmente, del cristianismo. Juan Jose Tamayo intenta dar respuesta a algunos de los desafios de nuestro tiempo: la diversidad cultural, el pluriverso religioso, el feminismo, la nueva conciencia ecologica y la lucha contra la pobreza. Y lo hace en dialogo interdisciplinar, desde el lugar hermeneutico de los movimientos sociales que trabajan por Otro Mundo Posible. Las religiones ya no pueden elaborar un discurso universalista que surja de la cosmovision occidental. Querer imponer los conceptos de igualdad y libertad que surgen de la Ilustracion europea se convertiria en imperialismo intelectual. Para evitarlo, Tamayo incorpora la categoria de la interculturalidad, que va mas alla de la inculturacion de la fe y del multiculturalismo, y elabora un nuevo paradigma: el de la teologia intercultural e interreligiosa de la liberacion en perspectiva de genero Ahi radica la originalidad de este libro.

Who was St George and how did he become patron saint not only of England but also of many other European countries? In this richly illustrated book, Samantha Riches explores the extraordinary wealth of myths and legends, art and inspiration that has grown up around the obscure fourth-century Christian martyr.The visual arts of medieval and renaissance Europe bear eloquent testimony to the range of significant cultural roles of St George. A hero and martyr who was venerated as a symbol of chivalry, he was also an emblem of both chastity and fertility, and was a signifier of the power of the urban elite. Using historical, art historical and literary evidence, Riches creates a vivid and compelling narrative, paying close attention to the symbolism of the saints combat with the dragon and its development as the most significant aspect of his legend and cult.The complex medieval psychology revealed by her study of this motif reveals some astonishing results, not least the implications of the discovery of a number of representations of female dragons.
