El veterano pastor y autor John Piper explica los mandamientos de Jesús y su significado para la vida cristiana. "Los libros largos parecen desalentadores porque pensamos que debemos comenzar por el principio y leer hasta el final y no saltarnos nada. No espero que la mayoría de la gente lea este libro de esa manera. Estructuré este libro de modo que los asuntos del principio puedan ayudar al lector a comprender los asuntos posteriores. Y hay una especie de fundamento, progresión y clímax. Pero los capítulos tienen suficiente independencia como para que la mayoría de ellos puedan leerse sin los demás. Será obvio cuando un capítulo dependa de otro. Por eso, te invito a intervenir en cualquier lugar. No es necesario que leas la Introducción primero. Espero que la forma en que se entrelazan los mandamientos de Jesús le acerque más, de un tema a otro." --John Piper En este libro Piper nos regala un material: Profundamente bíblico y teológico: examina los mandamientos de Jesús y explica su contexto, significado y aplicación hoy. Exhaustivo: incluye índices de referencias bíblicas, de personas y temas. Accesible: escrito en un tono claro y atractivo. Veteran pastor and author John Piper explains the commandments of Jesus and their meaning for the Christian life. The four Gospels are filled with commands straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ. They are not the harsh demands of a taskmaster, but Jesus's way of showing his followers who he is and how to be more like him. In All That Jesus Commanded, John Piper walks through Jesus's commands, in 50 short chapters, explaining their context and meaning to help readers understand Christ's vision of the Christian life and what he still requires today. The result is a helpful guide for thoughtful inquirers and new Christians, as well as veteran believers, whether for their own study or as a resource in disciple-making.




Cómo Jesús transforma los Diez Mandamientos


Book Description

"No penséis que he venido a anular la ley o los profetas; no he venido a anularlos, sino a darles cumplimiento". Estas palabras de Jesús resultan extrañas, incluso incompatibles con el evangelio de la gracia, a muchos cristianos que se sienten condicionados a recalcar nuestra libertad de la ley. Si Jesús no anuló la ley, entonces ¿qué opinión deberíamos tener hoy en día acerca de los Diez Mandamientos? Clowney explica cómo Jesús refuerza la ley y expande su alcance a cualquier situación de la vida. Sin embargo, va más allá y encuentra a Cristo en la ley y muestra cómo la cumple para su pueblo. De este modo, los creyentes aprenderán no solo del carácter de Dios revelado en la ley, sino también del evangelio centrado en Cristo. Este libro, dividido en once capítulos, con preguntas para la reflexión y aplicación, es un recurso perfecto para el estudio en grupo y el crecimiento individual.

Praying with Paul


Book Description

God doesn't demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules; he only wants his people to know him more intimately, says top-selling author D. A. Carson. The apostle Paul found that spiritual closeness in his own fellowship with the Father. By following Paul's example, we can do the same. This book calls believers to reject superficiality and revolutionize their lives by embracing a God-guided approach to prayer. Previously published as A Call to Spiritual Reformation, this book has now been updated to connect more effectively with contemporary readers. A study guide, DVD, and leader's kit for the book are available through Lifeway and The Gospel Coalition.




Along the Many Paths of God


Book Description

Latin American theology is associated with liberation, basic Christian communities, primacy of praxis and option for the poor. The present volume shows that Latin American theologians added new themes to the previous ones: religious pluralism, inter-religious dialogue and macro-ecumenism. It is the fruit of a program of the Theological Commission of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians (EATWOT) in Latin America, to work out a liberating theology of religions.




Crossfire


Book Description

The marriage of philosophy and fiction in the first third of Spain's twentieth century was a fertile one. It produced some truly notable offspring -- novels that cross genre boundaries to find innovative forms, and treatises that fuse literature and philosophy in new ways. In her illuminating interdisciplinary study of Spanish fiction of the "Silver Age," Roberta Johnson places this important body of Spanish literature in context through a synthesis of social, literary, and philosophical history. Her examination of the work of Miguel de Unamuno, Pio Baroja, Azorin, Ramon Perez de Ayala, Juan Ramon Jimenez, Gabriel Miro, Pedro Salinas, Rosa Chacel, and Benjamin Jarnes brings to light philosophical frictions and debates and opens new interpersonal and intertextual perspectives on many of the period's most canonical novels. Johnson reformulates the traditional discussion of generations and "isms" by viewing the period as an intergenerational complex in which writers with similar philosophical and personal interests constituted dynamic groupings that interacted and constantly defined and redefined one another. Current narratological theories, including those of Todorov, Genette, Bakhtin, and Martinez Bonati, assist in teasing out the intertextual maneuvers and philosophical conflicts embedded in the novels of the period, while the sociological and biographical material bridges the philosophical and literary analyses. The result, solidly grounded in original archival research, is a convincingly complete picture of Spain's intellectual world in the first thirty years of this century. Crossfire should revolutionize thinking about the Generation of '98 and the Generation of '14 by identifying the heterogeneous philosophical sources of each and the writers' reactions to them in fiction.

The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World


Book Description

The Prophet Muhammad s treaties with the Christians of his time, which John Andrew Morrow has rediscovered in obscure collections and often newly translated, uniformly state that Muslims are not to attack peaceful Christian communities, but defend them until the End of the World. Authored by the Prophet himself, they represent a third foundational pillar for Islam outside of Qur an and hadith. The Covenants Initiative within the book represents a movement by Muslims, both prominent and unknown, in support of Christians under attack. These treaties desperately need to be better known among Christians, Muslims, and the general public. For scholars, this book provides much difficult-to-obtain material: facsimiles of primary sources in Arabic and Persian; corrected versions in modern Arabic typescript; and alternate translations. They now have all they need to study the covenants in depth. "This narrative has the power to unite Muslim and Christian communities. A work of scholarship, its release is timely, and its content critical in fostering mutual respect and religious freedom."--IMAM FEISAL ABDUL RAUF, Chairman, Cordoba Initiative "In his indispensable contribution to the study of the Abrahamic faiths, John Andrew Morrow tells the story of how the Prophet Muhammad used his desert experiences of hospitality and protection to bring Muslims and Christians together."--JOSEPH HOBBS, University of Missouri "These letters from the Prophet Muhammad to Christian communities can serve to inspire both Muslims and Christians about our ability to live together as God's people, as friends, as neighbors, and as custodians of the same small planet."--OMID SAFI, University of North Carolina "With painstaking effort and much dedication invested in this groundbreaking work, Professor Morrow will surely manage to attract the attention of Islamic studies students and specialists."--AMAR SELLAM, Mohamed I University "This book documents what is possibly the third foundational source of Islam: the Prophet's treaties and covenants among people of the Abrahamic faiths. Dr. Morrow brings forth exceptionally important findings that dictate peaceful coexistence among Jews, Christians, and Muslims."--BRIDGET BLOMFIELD, University of Nebraska
