La invención de Jesús de Nazaret
En tiempos del emperador Tiberio, un judío que predicaba la llegada del reino de Dios fue crucificado en Jerusalén por orden del prefecto romano Poncio Pilato. Este fue el inicio de un proceso que acabaría presentando a Jesús como un ser divino. Que esta glorificación prosiga hasta hoy exige del pensamiento crítico un exhaustivo ejercicio de examen y estudio. ¿Cabe distinguir la realidad del relato heredado? ¿Tienen algo en común el Cristo de la tradición y el Jesús que la investigación histórica desvela? ¿Cómo se explica la divinización del personaje en la cuenca mediterránea del siglo I? ¿Es posible hallar un sentido a la proliferación de obras sobre el «Jesús histórico»?Tras una extensa investigación que goza de difusión e impacto internacionales, Fernando Bermejo Rubio responde de modo iluminador a todas estas cuestiones. En La invención de Jesús de Nazaret, el historiador de las religiones hace inteligible tanto la figura de Jesús como la construcción cultural que subyace al Cristo de la fe.
On Communicating
Klaus Krippendorff is an influential figure in communication studies widely known for his award-winning book Content Analysis. Over the years, Krippendorff has made important contributions to the ongoing debates on fundamental issues concerning communication theory, epistemology, methods of research, critical scholarship, second-order cybernetics, the social construction of reality through language, design, and meaning. On Communicating assembles Krippendorff’s most significant writings – many of which are virtually unavailable today, appearing in less accessible publications, conference proceedings, out-of-print book chapters, and articles in journals outside the communication field. In their totality, they provide a goldmine for communication students and scholars. Edited and with an introduction by Fernando Bermejo, this book provides readers with access to Krippendorff’s key works.
Killing the Messiah
Long ago, on a spring morning in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate passed judgement on a mysterious preacher. Jesus of Nazareth was nailed to a cross shortly after and died in agony. The effects of this verdict have reverberated throughout the world and have shaped two millennia of history. Even so, the trial remains shrouded in mystery to this day. The New Testament Gospels are unclear about what charges Pontius Pilate judged. They portray Pilate as embracing Jesus' innocence despite having him killed. We are left with more questions than answers. Why did Pontius Pilate condemn a man he believed innocent? What was Jesus' crime? How should we understand Pilate's role in Jesus' execution? Killing the...
The Gospel of Judas in Context
The papers gathered in this book were presented at the First International Conference (held in Paris, University of Sorbonne, October 27th-28th 2006), devoted to the newly discovered Gospel of Judas, preserved in the 4th century Coptic Codex Tchacos. These essays explore several crucial literary, historical and doctrinal issues related to this gospel, composed in the second half of the 2nd century. This unexpected discovery sheds a new light on the role attributed to Judas by some Gnostic Christian movements. A hotly debated question is precisely the significance of Judas in this gospel: hero or villain? Special attention is given to the sources - Greek, Jewish, Christian and even Iranian - used by the unknown author. This book will be of special interest for historians of late Antiquity religions and scholars in New Testament studies, Gnosticism and Coptic literature.
The Codex Judas Papers
This book contains the proceedings from the Codex Judas Congress, the first international conference held to discuss the newly-restored Tchacos Codex. Given that the Tchacos Codex is a newly-conserved ancient book of Christian manuscripts which had yet to be discussed collaboratively by a body of scholars, the research conducted and published within this book by the members of the Codex Judas Congress is nothing less than a landmark in Gnostic studies. Scholars address issues of identity and community, portraits of Judas, astrological lore, salvation and praxis, text and intertext, and manuscript matters. Although the contributions show a variety of interpretations of the Tchacos texts, seve...
Jesus and his Two Fathers: The Person and the Legacy
Who was Jesus in real life? What inspired his ideas? What did he aim to achieve? What drew his disciples to him? How was he influenced by them? Unlike the many “quests for the historical Jesus”, as a psychologist, Wernik answers these questions from the perspectives of psychology and the social sciences. This book’s central axis is the theme of the father. It looks at the family constellation into which Jesus was born, where he was raised by a stepfather. It also investigates the relationship he develops with God, his father in heaven; and examines how he became a father figure to his disciples and followers. It is hoped that readers will also think about their own father when reading,...
Resurrection
The popular phrase, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” assumes all miracle claims have failed. If so, why waste time exploring the evidence for Jesus’s resurrection? Nick Meader applies his background in statistics and psychology to explore Carl Sagan’s catchy phrase. Should we assume that the laws of nature are all there is? Is Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection consistent with expectations of the promised Messiah? Setting aside these questions can often leave us talking past each other. Considering these questions helps us make sense of the evidence for Jesus’s resurrection. In these pages you’ll find: •a Bayesian argument for Jesus’s resurrection; •a multidisciplinary approach applying insights from biblical theology, psychology, philosophy, statistics, and religious studies; •a cutting-edge evaluation of psychological explanations for the evidence; •a novel argument for the existence of God.
Heresy and Identity in Late Antiquity
"The papers collected in this volume shift the focus away from "heretics" and "heresy" to heresiological discourse, by contextualizing the late antique Jewish and Christian groups that produced our extant literature. The contributors to the volume draw from multiple literary corpora and genres, bringing a variety of late antique perspective to explore the discursive construction of the Other. They unravel ethnic identities, and re-create the multiple voices textured in the dialogue between the "orthodox" and "heretical" writers."--BOOK JACKET.
An Analytic Theology of Evangelism
An Analytic Theology of Evangelism clarifies and defends the Gospel and our call to evangelize. At the same time, the volume acts as an ecumenical work in theology. It not only bridges gaps between Catholic and Protestant theology, the volume develops new roads of communication for Christianity among the world traditions.
They Suffered under Pontius Pilate
Although, according to the Christian Gospels, three men were crucified ca. 30 CE outside Jerusalem under the prefect Pontius Pilate, both popular wisdom and mainstream scholarship focus solely on the fate of a single man. The story is indeed told, once and again, as if only Jesus of Nazareth had been the target of Roman repression, as if only his suffering were worthy of attention, and as if the other men crucified at Golgotha had nothing to do with him. The present book forcefully argues that, from an epistemological and even an ethical perspective, this is an odd and worrying state of affairs: the prevailing approach entails one-sided oversight of significant information, betrays a strong ...
