The story of Israel's triumphs, defeats, backslidings, captivity, and reformation abounds in great.
El Universo es una evolución ciega, sin fines premeditados, lentísima e imprevisible. Las mutaciones de los seres vivos se producen al azar y la lucha por la supervivencia selecciona luego a los más adecuados, por lo que no hay un programa establecido de antemano. Entonces, ¿es Dios una invención del hombre para satisfacer sus irrealizables anhelos de infinidad, para mitigar su miedo a la muerte y su angustia frente a la desesperación? ¿Realmente el deseo de inmortalidad y las religiones no son más que el intento del hombre por escapar de la alineación y el sufrimiento causados por un orden natural injusto?

Jeremías y Ezequiel nos acercan a su palabra profética y a la historia, en la que el pueblo, por sus idolatrías e injusticias, fue testigo de la destrucción de Jerusalén, de su final como Reino de Judá, y de su partida y estancia en el exilio. Pero la última palabra de Dios es siempre el ofrecimiento del perdón y misericordia para los suyos. En nombre del Señor, los dos profetas prometen el retorno a la tierra y la renovación radical de todas las personas del pueblo con una nueva alianza, el don de un corazón nuevo y un espíritu nuevo.
In this groundbreaking work that sets apart fact and legend, authors Finkelstein and Silberman use significant archeological discoveries to provide historical information about biblical Israel and its neighbors. In this iconoclastic and provocative work, leading scholars Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman draw on recent archaeological research to present a dramatically revised portrait of ancient Israel and its neighbors. They argue that crucial evidence (or a telling lack of evidence) at digs in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon suggests that many of the most famous stories in the Bible—the wanderings of the patriarchs, the Exodus from Egypt, Joshua’s conquest of Canaan, and David and Solomon’s vast empire—reflect the world of the later authors rather than actual historical facts. Challenging the fundamentalist readings of the scriptures and marshaling the latest archaeological evidence to support its new vision of ancient Israel, The Bible Unearthed offers a fascinating and controversial perspective on when and why the Bible was written and why it possesses such great spiritual and emotional power today.
E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The Yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages. Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his mind's eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrations—most of them in full color—are not simple embellishments, though the...
