En esta obra, Camilo Alfonso López intenta comprender el misterio de la vida y de la muerte. Para ello, abre un diálogo fecundo entre las comprensiones teológicas e interreligiosas cristianas y buddhistas sobre la resurrección y el renacimiento. Desde la plataforma sólida de la hermenéutica diatópica y a la luz de la intuición cosmoteándrica panikkariana, el autor redescubre la dimensión eterna en lo temporal. En esa tríada en la que se interrelacionan Dios-Hombre-Mundo radica nuestra auténtica identidad. Si bien lo relacional en nosotros se descubre en el espacio-tiempo del itinerario vital, no termina con la muerte, sino que se amplifica. De ahí que el amor relacional no muere, sino más bien, se despliega infinitamente. De este modo, el autor nos descubre que la ausencia de los seres queridos se hace presencia y el sufrimiento da lugar a una paz que sobrepasa todo entendimiento. Porque la muerte no es separación definitiva, sino el comienzo de una nueva relación en el aquí y ahora como momento de plenitud. Como bien decía Panikkar, la esperanza no es en el futuro, sino en lo invisible.
The general perception of modern Latin American political institutions emphasizes a continuing and random process of disorder and crisis, continually out of step with other regions in their progress toward democracy and prosperity. In "History of Political Parties in Twentieth-Century Latin America," Torcuato S. Di Tella demonstrates that this common view lacks context and comparative nuance, and is deeply misleading. Looking behind the scenes of modern Latin American history, he discerns its broad patterns through close analysis of actual events and comparative sociological perspectives that explain the apparent chaos of the past and point toward the more democratic polity now developing.

This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.
