Humankind. At the same time, it's best friend and its worst enemy. We're capable of the Declaration of Human Rights and Genocide, sending a man to the moon and polluting our oceans. Why are we inhabited by such extreme objectives? What is the origin of such a paradoxical humankind? Humans can be angels, Mother Teresa, Schindler, and Dr. Jekyll. The Bible calls this righteousness. Humans can be demons, Saddam Hussein, Stalin, and Mr. Hyde. The Bible calls this sin. We want humans to be loving, kind, peaceful, and happy. But… Are we human angels or human demons? We need to figure out what ...

¿CÓMO PUEDO CRECER EN LA VIDA CRISTIANA? ¿DEBE EL CREYENTE INVOLUCRARSE EN LA GUERRA ESPIRITUAL? Para los puritanos, la guerra espiritual era un sinónimo de estar en comunión con Dios. Solamente hay dos clases de personas que no están involucradas activamente en la guerra espiritual: aquellos que no son creyentes, y aquellos creyentes que están viviendo en pecado.

This second book (How They Wrote the Gospels Volume 2) fulfils the promise of the first volume “How They Wrote the Gospels”. This book surveys the literature about how the gospels might have been written.

The source document in question was a history of the Jewish War probably written by Marcus Agrippa Jr and appropriated by his secretary, the man we call ...

Paulinas ofrece a sus lectores esta novena de nuestra Señora Desatadora de Nudos, advocación que se remonta a un antiguo escrito de san Ireneo, obispo de Lyon quien a la luz del paralelismo paulino Adán-Cristo desarrolla el de Eva-María, afirmando que "Eva por su desobediencia, ató el nudo de la desgracia para el género humano; en cambio María, por su obediencia lo desató". Así nace el concepto de la "Virgen Desatadora de Nudos".

This Very Short Introduction provides both the believer and non-believer with a balanced survey of the central questions of theology. David Ford's approach draws us in to considering the principles underlying religious belief, including the centrality of salvation to most major religions; the concept of God in ancient, modern, and postmodern contexts; the challenge posed to theology by prayer and worship; and the issue of sin and evil.
