Así vivían los primeros cristianos
Tras la publicación de Así empezó el cristianismo (2010), sobre el proceso formativo del cristianismo, en Así vivían los primeros cristianos, los mismos autores, con un trabajo en equipo, abordan la vida de los primeros seguidores de Jesús. La obra se divide en cuatro partes: 1) Experiencias extraordinarias en los orígenes; 2) Los ritos; 3) Las prácticas de vida; 4) Las creencias. El orden mismo de los capítulos pone de manifiesto que el aspecto doctrinal no fue el decisivo en los orígenes. No se comenzaba por la aceptación intelectual de un contenido teórico. Lo que atraía del cristianismo era un estilo de vida y unas comunidades con singular capacidad de acogida e integración. El cristianismo no tardó en convertirse en religión imperial, pero en sus orígenes descubrimos un ADN con otras posibilidades más profundas, nunca sofocadas del todo, y que pugnan por despertar a la vida y transformar el cristianismo de nuestros días.
Así empezó el cristianismo
Para comprender el surgimiento del cristianismo, hay que atender a numerosos factores que intervinieron en un proceso complejo y conflictivo. En este libro se analizan críticamente textos de distinta naturaleza. Se recurre también a categorías sociológicas, porque de un proceso social se trata; y a categorías antropológicas, porque hay que dialogar con culturas diversas. Además hay que considerar aspectos ideológicos y teológicos, porque el cristianismo expresaba la experiencia religiosa de Jesús interpretada por grupos de sus discípulos de muy diferente condición. Esta obra colectiva afronta los orígenes del cristianismo de forma crítica, interdisciplinar y con la convicción de que una rigurosa reconstrucción de sus inicios es un poderoso estímulo para que el cristianismo de nuestros días se libere de lastres pesados, encare exigencias ineludibles y descubra nuevas posibilidades.
Puerto Rico in the American Century
Offering a comprehensive overview of Puerto Rico's history and evolution since the installation of U.S. rule, Cesar Ayala and Rafael Bernabe connect the island's economic, political, cultural, and social past. Puerto Rico in the American Century explores Puerto Ricans in the diaspora as well as the island residents, who experience an unusual and daily conundrum: they consider themselves a distinct people but are part of the American political system; they have U.S. citizenship but are not represented in the U.S. Congress; and they live on land that is neither independent nor part of the United States. Highlighting both well-known and forgotten figures from Puerto Rican history, Ayala and Ber...
King of the Badgers
After the success of The Northern Clemency, shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize, Philip Hensher brings us another slice of contemporary life, this time the peaceful civility and spiralling paranoia of a small English town.
Textual and Literary Criticism of the Books of Kings
This volume contains a collection of Julio Trebolle’s papers on textual and compositional history of 1-2 Kings, via Septuagint, Old Latin. His research is a key contribution to the landscape of textual plurality in the history of the Bible.
Galilean Upstarts
This book is about Jesus' first followers in Palestine, those obscure upstarts responsible for gospel traditions that resulted from developments at the eastern end of the Mediterranean basin in the cradle of Syrian Christianity. Vaage sketches a social profile of these followers of Jesus, based on the literary stratum biblical scholars have designated as "Q", the other source text used by Matthew and Luke in the composition of the gospels.
Diasporic Women’s Writing of the Black Atlantic
This book brings together a complete set of approaches to works by female authors that articulate the black Atlantic in relation to the interplay of race, class, and gender. The chapters provide the grounds to (en)gender a more complex understanding of the scattered geographies of the African diaspora in the Atlantic basin. The variety of approaches displayed bears witness to the vitality of a field that, over the years, has become a diasporic formation itself as it incorporates critical insights and theoretical frameworks from multiple disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities, thus exposing the manifold character of (black) diasporic interconnections within and beyond the Atlan...
