Hemos titulado el presente libro El árbol de las religiones por ser el árbol uno de los símbolos más extendidos y con mayor trascendencia en casi todas las civilizaciones. La razón principal está en que en el árbol, de las raíces a la copa, se unen en sí los mundos subterráneo, terrestre y celeste. Todo árbol tiene sus raíces en la tierra, símbolo de la humanidad enraizada en la madre naturaleza. Por las raíces sube la sabia de vida, que es el sentimiento religioso fruto de la filiación divina. Y el tronco con sus diferentes ramas se abre hacia el cielo con la oración de ...

There can be no doubt that as a matter of fact a religious life, exclusively pursued, does tend to make the person exceptional and eccentric. I speak not now of your ordinary religious believer, who follows the conventional observances of his country, whether it be Buddhist, Christian, or Mohammedan. His religion has been made for him by others, communicated to him by tradition, determined to fixed forms by imitation, and retained by habit. It would profit us little to study this second-hand religious life.

Although written in 1893, Murray's words remain as fresh and relevant as if they were written yesterday. They still hold a message for the troubled souls of today. Murray's preaching is simple yet profound. Understanding Jesus Himself can bring us closer to understanding God, Our Father.

In October 2014, a group of mathematicians, physicists, ecologists, philosophers, and theologians gathered at a special conference in Berkeley, California, to present the results of a two-year research program dubbed “Project SATURN”. This program explored many of the rich avenues of thought found at the intersection of modern science and Christian theology. Chief among them is the possibility that certain processes in nature might be so complex that they do not have sufficient physical causes.

The modern Christian Church is in a state of serious decline. But this was prophesied all through the New Testament. The World Christian Encyclopedia estimates there are over 40,000 denominations worldwide. Even if the truth were only 10% of that number, this would be a ludicrous situation. Many of these denominations are relatively small and localized, but others are large and widely recognized. And that number does not include quasi-Christian movements like the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. But the reason there are so many denominations is because there are that many belief systems. ...

Dr. Mark Miravalle, Professor of Theology and Mariology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, has performed a true service to bishops, pastors, and theologians, and for the laity as well, in his reintroduction of the invaluable insights of Pope Benedict XIV contained in his classic treatment De Servorum Dei Beatificatione et de Beatorum Canonizatione concerning the proper norms for discerning reports of prophecy and private revelation. Dr. Miravalle has also complemented the classic Church tradition on private revelation with contemporary guidelines for the discernment of prophecy ...

EL OBJETO DE NUESTRA FE ES CRISTO En un mundo donde los creyentes a menudo buscan respuestas en los rincones más profundos de sus propios corazones, Un retrato de la obra de Cristo emerge como un faro brillante que señala una dirección clara y redentora. Thomas Goodwin, en esta obra perdurable de 1642, ofrece una solución al dilema pastoral que ha atormentado a muchos: la tendencia de buscar signos de gracia en nosotros mismos en lugar de en Cristo. No es simplemente un libro; es una llamada al anclaje de nuestra fe. Este no es un manual típico sobre la doctrina de Cristo. Es una guía...

Let’s take a moment to imagine it: the sun is shining, the trees are heavy with fruit, and the gentle sound of a babbling brook fills the air. Adam and Eve, the first humans, are wandering through the Garden of Eden in their natural state—completely naked and utterly unbothered. No fig leaves, no shame, no awkward fidgeting with waistbands or straps. Just two humans living in perfect harmony with nature and themselves. If that’s not the ultimate naturist paradise, I don’t know what is. The story of Adam and Eve is one of the most famous tales in human history, and it’s often used ...

"This volume takes us to the end of the various subjects that form the full scope of systematic theology. We began with the concept of theology as such (truth, sound doctrine, bibliology), and now we have come to eschatology (the end times). In between we have covered theology proper (the doctrine of God), anthropology (the doctrines of man and sin), Christology (the person and work of Christ), pneumatology (the doctrine of the Holy Spirit), soteriology (the doctrine of salvation), and ecclesiology (the doctrine of the church).So far, in the first eleven volumes of this series, I have not ...

Siempre me han gustado las biografías. He sido un lector compulsivo de libros que hablen de otras personas, de sus vidas, de sus legados, de sus lecciones, de las estelas que han dejado sus existencias en la humanidad. Leer una biografía es sumergirnos en la vida de alguien para explorar más allá de las apariencias o las circunstancias excepcionales que alguien ha vivido. Cuando comencé este libro de reflexiones, solo pensé que me gustaría escribir sobre la vida de quienes han superado obstáculos y han logrado salir adelante. Me dije más de una vez: “Si ellos pudieron, yo ...

¿Quienes son los cuatro vivientes del Apocalipsis? ¿que es el tetramorfo? ¿que relación existe entre los seres vivientes y los evangelios? Los cuatro seres vivientes del Apocalipsis -o el tetramorfo-, son los roles de la Divinidad en la Historia de la Salvación. Tanto en la profecía de Ezequiel, como en el libro del Apocalipsis según Juan podemos ver la descripción de estas cuatro figuras de lo que los hagiógrafos, -los escritores sagrados-, describen como seres con rostros de hombre, buey, león y águila. Seres que son presentados en cercana relación con Dios y que han generado ...

Analysis of substitution as a mechanism that God has employed throughout the recent history of humanity to redirect it towards the path of loving one's neighbor and away from false spiritualities and misconceptions about divinity. Necessary replacements to substitute what is wrong, bad, and dangerous in supposed spiritualities with what is good, healthy, uplifting, and loving. Substituting and replacing hatred with love, and death with life.

LA MEJOR INTRODUCCIÓN A LA TEOLOGÍA DEL MÁS GRANDE TEOLÓGO PROTESTANTE DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS John Owen (1616-1683), es considerado uno de los mas grandes teólogos del cristianismo, y junto con Juan Calvino, Martin Lutero y Jonathan Edwards, una de las figuras más grandes dentro del cristianismo Evangélico Protestante. Los escritos de Owen han sido la principal influencia en un gran numero de teólogos y pastores a lo largo de la historia como Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley, J.C. Ryle, etc., y en tiempos mas recientes en hombres como Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John Piper, Sinclair Ferguson, ...

How did our forebears begin to think about religion as a distinct domain, separate from other activities that were once inseparable from it? Starting at the birth of Christianity - a religion inextricably bound to Western thought - Jack Miles reveals how the West's "common sense" understanding of religion emerged and then changed as insular Europe discovered the rest of the world. Finally, in a moving postscript, he shows how this very story continues today in the minds and hearts of individual religious or irreligious men and women.

The idea of Jesus initiating a second humanity and new creation by his incarnation, death, and resurrection is an important but often undervalued emphasis in the New Testament and in patristic theology. In A Second Adam, Cody Cook presents this doctrine, called Recapitulation, as a biblical, ancient, and ecumenical model of the atonement which is simultaneously more balanced than the more popular models while also getting us to their most important insights.

"It stands to reason that Saturday was a critical time for Him" "I highly recommend this incredible book as it takes the reader through both the physical and spiritual journey of Him as he underwent His transformation. A five-star read, absolutely." "I for one never really thought about that Saturday, so for me it was a riveting experience, learning about that previously overlooked time." -[International Review of Books] Easter symbolizes the Glorious Resurrection of Jesus Christ from death. This is the most important event in the history of Earth and is rightly celebrated around the world....

People sometimes have difficulty understanding the Trinity. But if that is the case with someone reading this Introduction, then he or she should not feel too bad. It took the scholars and theologians of the early Church about five hundred years after the Incarnation of Jesus to even begin to figure it out. The whole idea of one God is not too difficult to understand. But when the same scholars and theologians start talking about one God in three persons, then the whole matter becomes much more complicated. Is it biblically correct to say or think of three different persons of deity, daily ...

Jesus in Space and Time is a profound, ground-breaking examination of the life of Jesus. There is no other book quite like it! It explores some mind-boggling but rarely discussed implications of the event we have come to refer to as the “incarnation”; the physical embodiment of God when he temporarily and personally visited our planet. It digs down into the mystery of God becoming a human being and dwelling among us in our limited form. Jesus in Space and Time examines Bible stories that are familiar to many and looks behind them and underneath them to explore the truly astounding ...
