Book Description
“Essential reading for historians of [Francis’s] papacy in years to come, from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Reformer and Let us Dream.” —The Tablet Austen Ivereigh’s colorful, clear-eyed portrait of Pope Francis takes us inside the Vatican’s urgent debate over the future of the church in Wounded Shepherd This deeply contextual biography centers on the tensions generated by the pope’s attempt to turn the Church away from power and tradition and outwards to engage humanity with God’s mercy. In turbulent meetings and on global trips, history’s first Latin-American pope has attempted to reshape the Church to evangelize the contemporary age. At the same time, he has stirred other leaders’ deep-seated fear that the Church is capitulating to modernity. Facing rebellions over his allowing sacraments for the divorced and his attempt to create a more “ecological” Catholicism, as well as a firestorm of criticism for the Church’s record on sexual abuse, Francis emerges as a leader of remarkable vision and skill with a relentless spiritual focus—a leader who is at peace in the turmoil surrounding him. With entertaining anecdotes, insider accounts, and expert analysis, Ivereigh’s journey through the key episodes of Francis’s reform in Rome and the wider Church brings into sharp focus the frustrations and fury, as well as the joys and successes, of one of the most remarkable pontificates of the contemporary age. “A thoughtful, essential book.” —Booklist, starred review “Highly recommended.” —Library Journal, starred review “A richly detailed and engaging portrait of Francis as pope.” —Commonweal “A revelation.” —Publishers Weekly “A detailed study packed with insider tidbits.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
El Papa Benedicto XVI ha escrito: "La Iglesia en su conjunto, y en ella sus pastores, como Cristo han de ponerse en camino para rescatar a los hombres del desierto y conducirlos al lugar de la vida, hacia la amistad con el Hijo de Dios, hacia Aquel que nos da la vida, y la vida en plenitud". Por eso, a la pregunta ¿qué es evangelizar?, no puede haber otra respuesta: Es enseñar el arte de Vivir. Pero para evangelizar se necesitan evangelizadores nuevos. El Papa subraya: Solo los hombres y mujeres tocados por Dios serán capaces de abrir la mente y el corazón de sus contemporáneos a los misterios del Dios Vivo. Es el reto para toda la Iglesia. Esta obra, releyendo los Lineamenta sinodales, pretende ser un humilde servicio al apasionante dinamismo misionero de la nueva evangelización; aportando material de reflexión personal y para un trabajo en grupos, en vísperas del Sínodo de Obispos a celebrarse en 2012 sobre este tema. Raúl Berzosa Martínez, Doctor y profesor en Teología, fue ordenado obispo auxiliar de Oviedo (Asturias) en el año 2005. Desde el año 2011 es obispo de Ciudad Rodrigo. En esta misma editorial ha publicado: Ser laico en la Iglesia y en el mundo (2000), Una lectura creyente de Atapuerca. La fe cristiana ante las teorías de la evolución (2005), Transmitir la Fe en un nuevo siglo. Retos y propuestas (2006), Iglesia, sociedad y comunidad política. Entre la confesionalidad y el laicismo (2007), 150 miradas de actualidad en el espejo de la cultura (2007). Gerardo Galetto, sacerdote argentino, Doctor y profesor en Filosofía por la Universidad Lateranense (Roma), fue Rector de la Universidad Católica de Santa Fe (2002-2010) y actualmente es Oficial del Pontificio Consejo para la Promoción de la Nueva Evangelización, encargado para América Latina. Es autor de: Sentido común y verdad en el pensamiento de Hannah Arendt (2008) y Hannah Arendt: sentido común y verdad (2009).

Book Description
Colonial Latin America was famed for the precious metals plundered by the conquistadores and the gold and silver extracted from its mines. Historians and economists have attempted to determine the amount of bullion produced and its impact on the colonies themselves and the emerging early-modern world economy. Using official tax and mintage records, this book provides decade-by-decade and often annual data on the amount of gold and silver officially refined and coined in the treasury and mint districts of Spanish and Portuguese America. It also places American bullion output within the context of global production and addresses the issue of contraband production and bullion smuggling. The book is thus an invaluable source for evaluating the rise of the early-modern economy.

Book Description
This extraordinary book encompasses the time period from the first Christian evangelists' arrival in Latin America to the dictators of the late twentieth century. With unsurpassed knowledge of Latin American history, John Lynch sets out to explore the reception of Christianity by native peoples and how it influenced their social and religious lives as the centuries passed. As attentive to modern times as to the colonial period, Lynch also explores the extent to which Indian religion and ancestral ways survived within the new Christian culture.The book follows the development of religious culture over time by focusing on peak periods of change: the response of religion to the Enlightenment, the emergence of the Church from the wars of independence, the Romanization of Latin American religion as the papacy overtook the Spanish crown in effective control of the Church, the growing challenge of liberalism and the secular state, and in the twentieth century, military dictators' assaults on human rights. Throughout the narrative, Lynch develops a number of special themes and topics. Among these are the Spanish struggle for justice for Indians, the Church's position on slavery, the concept of popular religion as distinct from official religion, and the development of liberation theology.

Book Description
This work begins with a prologue by Pedro Casaldaliga in which he draws on St John of the Cross to describe eight steps on the ascent and descent - up to God, down to earth. The introduction defines terms and distinguishes two types of spirituality: basic human and specifically Christian. These, in syntheses, then form the subjects of Parts One and Two. There is an epilogue by Gustavo Gutierrez.

Book Description
Many people today are thirsty for God and feel a desire for an intense, personal prayer life that is deep and ongoing. But they encounter obstacles that prevent them from following the path seriously, and especially from persevering on it. Time for God was written with these desires and difficulties in mind. In Time for God, author Jacques Philippe mainly concentrates on mental prayer: prayer that consists of facing God in solitude and silence for a time in order to enter into intimate, loving communion with him. Practicing this kind of prayer regularly is considered by all spiritual masters to be an indispensable path that gives access to genuine Christian life—a path to knowing and loving God that empowers us to respond to his call to holiness addressed to each individual. Philippe draws on years of experience as a spiritual guide to illuminate the fundamental principles of mental prayer and describes some common mistakes and misconceptions that can lead it astray. With simplicity and clarity he explains the foundational principles for a healthy prayer life and gives advice for overcoming the various obstacles that arise when one sets off on the path of interior prayer.

Book Description
Among the magnificent gems and jewels left behind by the great Islamic empires, emeralds stand out for their size and prominence. For the Mughals, Ottomans, and Safavids green was—as it remains for all Muslims—the color of Paradise, reserved for the Prophet Muhammad and his descendants. Tapping a wide range of sources, Kris Lane traces the complex web of global trading networks that funneled emeralds from backland South America to populous Asian capitals between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. Lane reveals the bloody conquest wars and forced labor regimes that accompanied their production. It is a story of trade, but also of transformations—how members of profoundly different societies at opposite ends of the globe assigned value to a few thousand pounds of imperfectly shiny green rocks.
