Book Description
In Not Like Those Who Have No Hope, Nestor O. Miguez brings the insights of historical-critical study and political analysis together with incisive theological reflection. Taking on European philosophical interpretations of Paul, the "North Atlantic consensus" regarding social stratification in the Pauline churches, and the distortions of "rapture" theology, Miguez situates Paul's mission in the political context of Roman Thessalonica and reads his first letter in engagement with Latin American realities. The result is a surprising rediscovery of Paul as an organic intellectual for whom hope is always a socially concrete reality.

Book Description
Fourteen members of The Context Group honor Bruce J. Malina and his scholarship in this volume by following his consistent example of developing or using explicit social scientific models to interpret documents from the ancient Mediterranean world. Ordinary features of that cultural world such as gossip, reciprocity, a pervasive military presence, the power of women, and becoming a follower of Jesus stand out with greater clarity in the Bible when a reader understands the cultural matrix in which such social dynamics function. These essays reflect The Context Group’s more than twenty years of collaborative experience in researching the cultural context of the Bible. New insights are built on the solidly established foundations of their earlier cross-cultural studies. Readers will find the individual essays enlightening and challenging. Taken as a whole they form a valuable resource and a stimulating and helpful aid to further study.

Book Description
Notable Catholic interpreters of Scripture discern the guiding values of biblical interpretation at the brink of a new era for the church. Under the influence of Benedict XVI and Francis, Roman Catholics, whether lay or religious, have found renewed interest in studying sacred Scripture. Yet the church has also grown and faces new challenges in the new millennium. What does the future of Catholic biblical interpretation look like? And how ought the church’s rich heritage of biblical interpretation continue to influence it? This volume collects essays by some of the most influential voices in Catholic biblical scholarship today. Covering a variety of topics, from the Old Testament to the New Testament and biblical theology, the essays are united by a common goal: to hear the word of God and proclaim and apply it within the church. The authors pay special tribute to Marie-Joseph Lagrange. This nineteenth-century French Dominican led the way in blending critical methodology with respect for the Church’s authority in order to put scriptural study in service to the good of souls. Featuring diverse and authentically Catholic perspectives, The Future of Catholic Biblical Interpretation represents fresh purpose and direction for the church’s long and fruitful tradition of exegesis.

Book Description
Es un libro que trata sobre el exorcismo que propone la Iglesia, que no es otra cosa que la celebración del misterio de la Eucaristía. Y, por el contrario, presenta los exorcismos que no propone la Iglesia. Por eso, lleva el título de Exorcismos; no. Exorcismo; sí. Lo que no es exorcismo, y su uso en la práctica de muchos, con sus grandes consecuencias negativas para la vida de mucha gente. Es un estudio bíblico y teológico sobre esta práctica de todos los tiempos, aparentemente ya superada, pero que hay una tendencia de volver sobre que debería pertenecer a l archivo de la historia.

Book Description
Esta historia de la iglesia, que habla de ella como comunidad e institución, abarca el camino recorrido por la iglesia durante los primeros siete siglo de la era cristiana, en los cuales esta misma comunidad comenzó su devenir histórico superando muchos obstáculos hasta convertirse en una institución que tenía una palabra para decir a la sociedad de aquel tiempo.
