This is the first book to describe and analyze, sequentially and in detail, all the persons, places, times, and events mentioned in the Gospel accounts of Jesus’s last week in Jerusalem. Part reference guide, part theological exploration, Eckhard Schnabel’s Jesus in Jerusalem uses the biblical text and recent archaeological evidence to find meaning in Jesus’s final days on earth. Schnabel profiles the seventy-two people and groups and the seventeen geographic locations named in the four passion narratives. Placing the events of Jesus’s last days in chronological order, he unpacks their theological significance, finding that Jesus’s passion, death, and resurrection can be understood historically as well as from a faith perspective.
This book reviews the challenges and opportunities posed by flow chemistry in drug discovery, and offers a handy reference tool for medicinal chemists interested in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Prepared by expert contributors, the respective chapters cover not only fundamental methodologies and reactions, such as the application of catalysis, especially biocatalysis and organocatalysis; and non-conventional activation techniques, from photochemistry to electrochemistry; but also the development of new process windows, processes and reactions in drug synthesis. Particular attention is given to automatization and library synthesis, which are of great importance in the pharma...
Learn to master a powerful technology to enable a faster drug discovery workflow The ultimate dream for medicinal chemists is the ability to synthesize new drug-like compounds with the push of a button. The key to synthesizing chemical compounds more quickly and accurately lies in computer-controlled technologies that can be optimized by machine learning. Recent developments in computer-controlled automated syntheses that rely on miniature flow reactors—with integrated analysis of the resulting products—provide a workable technology for synthesizing new chemical substances very quickly and with minimal effort. In Flow and Microreactor Technology in Medicinal Chemistry, early adopters of ...

Es imperativo para la ecología integral mirar al pasado a fin de entender cómo hemos llegado a la crisis medioambiental actual y captar, en la medida de lo posible, en qué lugares y tiempos ha habido la posibilidad de tomar otros caminos. Los estudios bíblicos, en la medida en que incorporan métodos y objetos propios de la historia cultural, pueden también contribuir a enriquecer dicha mirada. Este número de Reseña Bíblica reflexiona sobre las experiencias, los ideales y la sensibilidad ecológica de una de las tradiciones religiosas antiguas más influyentes en el pensamiento actual.
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.
The short story that we now know as the Gospel according to Mark was written in Greek twenty centuries ago in the context of an agrarian society that had been developing its own characteristics in the circum-Mediterranean region. Mark's account presupposes the values, institutions, and relationships of the culture in which Jesus and his first followers lived. Modern readers of the Gospels, however, especially those born and raised in the North Atlantic postindustrial societies, have other values and institutions, and relate to each other according to other cultural codes. This temporal and cultural distance between the ancient texts and their present-day readers makes necessary an exegetical effort whose purpose is to recover, as far as possible, the reading scenarios presupposed by these texts. In order to reconstruct these scenarios, exegesis has turned in recent years to the social sciences, whose models permit us to imagine and describe the situations presupposed by these ancient texts. This book aims to show how the use of these scenarios elaborated with the help of the social sciences can contribute to a more considered and respectful reading of Mark's story.
La comprensión de los textos del Nuevo Testamento requiere situarlos en su contexto sociocultural, que es bien lejano del nuestro. Ser conscientes de esta distancia y de esta diferencia es defender al texto del lector moderno (evitando lecturas etnocéntricas y anacrónicas) y también defender al lector actual del texto (no obligándole a aceptar una visión del mundo que le resulta ajena y, quizá, inasumible). En este libro se presentan, de forma breve y sencilla, varios ejemplos de lecturas de textos del Nuevo Testamento en su contexto cultural. Solo cuando se ha comprendido adecuadamente un texto en su originario contexto histórico y cultural se puede reinterpretarlo hermenéuticamente, es decir, preguntarse por el sentido que puede tener en la actualidad.
The study of ancient Judaism has enjoyed a steep rise in interest and publications in recent decades, although the focus has often been on the ideas and beliefs represented in ancient Jewish texts rather than on the daily lives and the material culture of Jews/Judaeans and their communities. The nascent institution of the synagogue formed an increasingly important venue for communal gathering and daily or weekly practice. This collection of essays brings together a broad spectrum of new archaeological and textual data with various emergent theories and interpretative methods in order to address the need to understand the place of the synagogue in the daily and weekly procedures, community frameworks, and theological structures in which Judaeans, Galileans, and Jewish people in the Diaspora lived and gathered. The interdisciplinary studies will be of great significance for anyone studying ancient Jewish belief, practice, and community formation.
Monografía que es fruto de una investigación doctoral en Ética Antigua. Se distancia de la perspectiva presupuesta en la clasificación académica actual por considerar que, en el período helenístico romano, no existía todavía una diferenciación clara entre la actitud filosófica y la religiosa y que, por tanto, es plenamente legítimo emplear las mismas herramientas de análisis para el estudio de la ética de Jesús y las éticas filosóficas de dicho período. Desde esta posición, la autora utiliza el marco conceptual de la Sociología del Conocimiento de Berger y Luckmann con el fin de analizar el significado sociocultural de un tipo de praxis escandalosa que caracterizó tanto ...
