The Story Of Frithiof
Mr. Henderson's beautiful prose translation of the «Frithiof Saga» ought to make that famous work, originally a poem, better known in English-speaking countries than it is today. How it has happened that a work which has been translated into the Danish, Norwegian, German, English, French, Russian, and Latin languages, and which is to be found in almost every house in Sweden, should be so little known amongst ourselves, it is difficult to explain; but that such is the case, we may gather from the translator's candid avowal that he had sent his own version to be printed before he discovered that any previous translation existed; nevertheless, no fewer than four Englishmen had preceded him in the undertaking, the earliest in 1835. The Scandinavian Saga upon which Bishop Tegnér founded his beautiful poem, is the most popular, and one of the best authenticated of all the northern legends, and is attributed by Müller to the end of the thirteenth, or beginning of the fourteenth century. Mr. Henderson's translation is very faithful and spirited, but those acquainted with the original Swedish will hardly agree with him in thinking that it would not have been better still had it been made from that, and not from the German, which, however excellent and worthy of its author's fame as a poet, is not the language in which Esaias Tegnér thought. This edition is beautifully illustrated with works of the Swedish painter August Malmström.
Abuso
CONSUELO PARA LOS MALTRATADOS… GLORIA PARA CRISTONinguno de nosotros puede escapar de nuestro mundo arruinado. Somos personas pecadoras y heridas rodeados de otras personas pecadoras y heridas en un universo que gime debido a la maldición del pecado. La realidad del abuso físico y sexual en nuestro mundo nos brinda una prueba flagrante y dolorosa sobre su ruina. ¿Qué tiene que decirnos el evangelio si nos encontramos afrentados con esta maldad? ¿Cómo podemos servir a aquellos que han sufrido diferentes tipos de maltrato?John Henderson ofrece el Salmo 22 como un marco de referencia para responder a estas y otras cuestiones y comprender cómo Dios consuela a los afligidos por medio de su Palabra, utilizándola para traer fruto en la vida de una pareja profundamente afectada por abusos sexuales durante la infancia. Su ejemplo muestra la belleza y la luz del evangelio, y cómo brinda esperanza y perspectiva aún en las circunstancias más sombrías.La serie de tratados RECURSOS PARA CAMBIAR VIDAS por la Asociación de Consejeros Bíblicos Certificados (Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, ACBC) utiliza la esperanza eterna en Cristo ante las luchas particulares del creyente moderno."El evangelio no es una idea abstracta. No se trata de una filosofía y no es estática. Se mueve, cambia y transforma. Estoy agradecido por el trabajo de ACBC al permitir que el evangelio ejerza su influencia sobre estos sufrimientos y penas de la vida real".
