Muchos de nosotros hemos encontrado mil barreras cuando buscamos estudiar la Biblia: confusión, cansancio, se nos olvida lo que leímos y, aunque no lo digas en voz alta, muchas veces nos aburrimos. La razón por la que esto ocurre es porque, aunque existen Biblias en diferentes traducciones, formatos y extensiones, muchos necesitamos una manera creativa e interactiva de entender, procesar y responder a lo que leemos.
Danii Marín pone en función su método de «Ver para crecer», para ayudarte a entender, retener y aplicar la Biblia de una forma visual. Y lo mejor de todo, no es necesario ser artista ni dibujante.
Aprende:
• De qué trata la Biblia y cómo entenderla correctamente.
• La ciencia detrás de hacer dibujos sencillos para obligar a tu mente a retener y aprender mejor. • Cómo usar palabras y dibujos sencillos para crear devocionales visuales que te llevarán a vivir la Palabra de Dios con mayor profundidad.
Una obediencia larga en la misma dirección
"En la sociedad instantánea actual, se ha dicho que la evangelización nunca ha sido tan fácil–es el discipulado el que nunca ha sido tan difícil. Eugene Peterson no sólo nos instruye con su considerable sabiduría sobre el auténtico discipulado, sino que también nos ayuda a ver la pasión y el entusiasmo de vivir una vida plenamente entregada a Jesús. Y con el torrente actual de interés en la espiritualidad, su guía sobre lo que constituye la espiritualidad auténtica vale oro." – Rebecca Manley Pippert
Mit Segenskreuz und Handy
Der Nahe Osten ist aus unserer westlichen Sicht oft eine verkannte Region, die viele Ängste schürt: Islamismus, Attentate, Christenverfolgung …Dagegen steht die Hochkultur Ägyptens, die Wiege der Menschheit, Pharaonen und Pyramiden. Diese Gegensätze begleiten den Autor seit zwanzig Jahren bei der Betreuung der deutsch-sprachigen Katholiken dieser Region. Und gerade diese letzten zwei Jahrzehnte waren für den gesamten Nahen Osten von großer Bedeutung. Msgr. Schroedel gewährt Einblick in seine biographischen Notizen, in Geschichten, die das Leben schreibt. Diese sind Ausgangspunkt vertiefter Reflexionen über Christentum und Islam, Kultur und Religion, Ost und West. Dabei ist ihm die Begegnung wichtiger als Diskussion oder Diskurs. Denn wer dem Orient begegnet, der wird verwandelt!
Welcome to the One Great Story!
The Bible is not easy to figure out! Churches are filled with adults who are too embarrassed to admit their sketchy knowledge, and jumbled impressions, of biblical material. Even seminary-trained pastors struggle to get a handle on the flow of the Scriptures from beginning to end. No wonder so many people give up on the Bible–and even the church. This book claims that what gives the Bible its overarching integrity and lasting value is a narrative, a storyline. Readers who approach the Bible with narrative in mind will discover from Genesis to Revelation a story that begins at a certain point, establishes a theme; develops, continues, and adapts that theme; and reaches a resolution (of sorts!). Rather than a book-by-book treatment of the Bible, this book identifies and traces a Story that stretches across the corpus of the canon, a Story in which divine promise and human response constantly define each episode. Text boxes, reflection questions, chapter questions, and activities encourage the reader to engage with content at more than one level all along the way. Engaging with the Bible can become exhilarating and gratifying!
The Second-Century Apologists
"They bring three charges against us: atheism, Thyestean banquets, and Oedipean unions." So a late second-century Christian Apologist wrote with reference to his critics. Against these and other charges the Apologists rallied. Not so, they maintained. It was not the Christians but their critics who were the atheists and the Christians were the true theists. They were atheists only insofar as they denied the fabricated gods of the cults and the immoral deities of theaters. That, they explained, was why Christians absented themselves, whatever the cost, from the imperial cult, theaters, and amphitheaters. They were not cannibals, as Thyestes was when he ate the flesh of his children. To suggest otherwise was to misunderstand Christians consuming Christ's flesh and blood at the Eucharist. Nor were they imitators of Oedipus, who entered into sexual relations with Jocasta, his Queen and, though he knew it not, also his mother. Christians did exchange the kiss of peace. They did love one another. They were not, however, incestuous. Any promiscuous love on their part extended only to a very practical love of every needy soul. This book explores these arguments, especially noting the Apologists' commitment to God's oneness, to Christians not worshipping anything made, and to humans properly caring for fellow creatures.
