Kinship in the Household of God
This unique volume contributes a profound-autism perspective to the ongoing discussion of belonging in the church. By taking readers into two church communities, the author explores the issues of belonging from those least welcomed by the church and consider what the church should do differently. Adopting a “we” approach, she emphasizes the unity of different members in Christ. As one body in Christ, all believers share Christ’s sonship and become children of God. The household concept invites readers to reconceptualize Christian relationships as covenantal kinship. The kinship relationship is established by God’s covenantal commitment fulfilled in Christ. With or without autism, any person who obeys God’s summons is incorporated into Christ’s body by the Spirit to become God’s child. Believers are thus siblings to one another. Viewing each person this way enables us to see beyond human differences and welcome one another as God’s gifts and indispensable members of the community.
The Cinema of France
An in-depth look at some of the best and most influential French films of all time, The Cinema of France contains 24 essays, each on an individual film.

Cartesiana. Primer encuentro Franco-Iberoamericano
La vigencia irrecusable del pensamiento cartesiano revela su sentido propiamente filosófico porque, lejos de suscitar la mera admiración o las loas escolares a la genialidad del ‘padre de la modernidad’, nos invita y exige preguntarnos los porqués de dicha vigencia, de los que el presente libro da testimonio. Las razones comprometen no solo a lo que se conoce como la ‘modernidad de la filosofía’, sino también a la filosofía contemporánea de la modernidad. Al respecto, cabe constatar dos hechos históricos, bien conocidos y notorios, pero que todavía nos convocan e interrogan: la ruptura y a la vez la continuidad que, como pocos, el pensamiento de Descartes instaura. Ruptura, ...

The Oxford Handbook of Christmas
"The origins of Christmas lie in an Egyptian festival on 6 January, which spread to much of the Christian world as a celebration of the birth and/or baptism of Christ and known as the Epiphany or Theophany. The church at Rome did not adopt this festival but later instituted a celebration of the nativity of Christ on 25 December, which gradually supplanted its observance on 6 January in other churches, leaving this latter occasion as a commemoration of Christ's baptism alone, or of the visit of the Magi in those churches like Rome that had not observed that date previously. This essay traces that evolution and examines the merits of the two competing scholarly theories that have sought to explain the original choice of these particular dates"--
