Reimaginando los orígenes del cristianismo
En un momento, como el actual, de replanteamiento de las raíces, de exageración de los nacionalismos, de secularización galopante, de fundamentalismos, de intolerancia religiosa... la vuelta a los orígenes del cristianismo no es inocua. Puede descubrir intereses de poder, manipulaciones de sentido, transformaciones de significados, alteraciones de las jerarquías de valores, asimilaciones desleales, etc. Sin embargo, también manifiesta entregas encomiables, sacrificios testimoniales, plenitudes de sentido, fidelidades admirables, proezas emocionantes, etc. Todo ello forma parte de la acción de Dios en esta historia nuestra; la vuelta a los orígenes del cristianismo quiere, ante todo, volver a descubrir esa obra de Dios entonces y ahora.
Reading the New Testament in the Manifold Contexts of a Globalized World
This volume gathers the perspectives of teachers in higher education from all over the world on the topic of New Testament scholarship. The goal is to understand and describe the contexts and conditions under which New Testament research is carried out throughout the world. This endeavor should serve as a catalyst for new initiatives and the development of questions that determine the future directions of New Testament scholarship. At the same time, it is intended to raise awareness of the global dimensions of New Testament scholarship, especially in relation to its impact on socio-political debates. The occasion for these reflections are not least the present questions that have been posed with the corona pandemic and have received a focus on the "system relevance" of churches, which is openly questioned by the media. The church and theology must face this challenge. Towards that end, it is important to gather impulses and suggestions for the discipline from a variety of contexts in which different dimensions of context-related New Testament research come to the fore.

International Review of Biblical Studies, Volume 51 (2004-2005)
Formerly known by its subtitle “Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete”, the International Review of Biblical Studies has served the scholarly community ever since its inception in the early 1950’s. Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts – which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. “Genesis”, “Matthew”, “Greek language”, “text and textual criticism”, “exegetical methods and approaches”, “biblical theology”, “social and religious institutions”, “biblical personalities”, “history of Israel and early Judaism”, and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.
Making Gender in the Intersection of the Human and the Divine
This collection of essays challenges the traditional patriarchal approach to sacred literature by highlighting gender parity in sacred texts and envisioning the rise of the matriarchy in the future. The authors redefine Biblical Greek words like malakoi and arsenokoitai used in condemnation of homosexuality, and Qur’anic words like darajah and qawwamun, used for establishing patriarchy. One author reexamines the role of the Nepalese Teej festival of fasting and worship of the god Shiva in promoting male hegemony in Hinduism. Other papers examine passages like Proverbs 31:1-31, the stories of Sarah and Rahab in the Bible, the role of Mary in the Qur’an, and the Dharmic conversion in chapter 27 of the Lotus Sutra. This book makes it clear that sacred literature is subject to human understanding as it evolves through space and time. Today, as more women are educated and actively engaged in political, economic, and social life, religions are challenged to redefine gender roles and norms.
Qué se sabe de... Pablo en el naciente cristianismo
La figura de Pablo de Tarso es una de las más paradójicas, influyentes y huidizas de la historia de la humanidad; y una de las más incomprendidas. Tuvo un papel insustituible en el naciente cristianismo, pero demasiadas veces ha servido como espejo de los prejuicios y deseos de sus intérpretes. El cristianismo que surge en el siglo segundo no es tanto el resultado del éxito de Pablo, cuanto de su fracaso. Entonces, ¿cuál fue su lugar en esa historia? Este libro ofrece una lectura históricamente plausible y teológicamente coherente de la aportación de Pablo al nacimiento del cristianismo y de la transformación de su memoria y de su legado tras su muerte.
Mark, a Pauline Theologian
"Is the wide range of indications in the Gospel of Mark for the influence of Pauline theology the fruit of chance or rather of the will of the Evangelist to unify his work with the thought of the Apostle Paul? In this study, Mar Pérez i Días argues that Mark, rather than being a disciple of Peter who puts in writing what he remembers from his preaching, is a theological disciple of Paul." --
Within Judaism? Interpretive Trajectories in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam from the First to the Twenty-First Century
This book charts the shifting boundaries of Judaism from antiquity to the modern period in order to bring clarity to what scholars mean when they claim that ancient texts or groups are “within Judaism,” as well as exploring how rabbinic Jews, Christians, and Muslims have negotiated and renegotiated what Judaism is and is not in order to form their own identities. Belief in Jesus as the Messiah was seen as part of first-century Judaism, but by the fourth or fifth century, the boundaries had shifted and adherence to Jesus came to be seen as outside of Judaism. Resituating New Testament texts within first- or second-century Judaism is an historical exercise that may broaden our view of what Judaism looked like in the early centuries CE, but normatively these texts remain within Christianity because of their reception history. The historical “within Judaism” perspective, however, has the potential to challenge and reshape the theology of contemporary Christianity while at the same time the long-held consensus that belief in Jesus cannot belong within Judaism is again challenged by the modern Messianic Jewish movement.
Handbook of Biblical Social Values, Third Edition
Values are culturally specific. This handbook explains select biblical social values in their Mediterranean cultural contexts. Some examples of values are altruism, freedom, family-centeredness, obedience, parenting, and power. Though the English words for the values described here would be familiar to readers (e.g., altruism) the meanings of such words differ between cultures. In the Mediterranean world, for instance, altruism is a duty incumbent upon anyone who has surplus. It is interpersonal and group specific. In the West, especially in the United States, altruism is impersonal and universally oriented generosity that operates in a highly organized context. This handbook not only presents the Mediterranean meanings of these value words but also contrasts those meanings with Western ones.
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.
