Cartas a Dios
by Luciano Jaramillo Cárdenas«Cartas a Dios viene como un anillo al dedo. En un lenguaje que combina prosa y poesía, el doctor Luciano Jaramillo Cárdenas, uno de los más notable biblistas de habla hispana, e investigador incansable en los estudios religiosos más avanzados, ha logrado combinar la solemnidad del orador con la belleza propia del lenguaje poética y de prosa elegante impecable, pero difícil de entender. En estas epístolas envía poderosos mensajes destinado lo mismo al intelectual que al lector promedio. El contenido teológico no contradice la gran inspiración que ofrecen aun a los que no se han iniciado en estos elevados y a veces inmarcesibles menesteres. Escribirle una carta a Dios tiene tanto sentido como cualquier otro ejercicio cotidiano, serio, sin embargo, poco lo han escrito con el fin de publicarlo. La oración es como una carta que enviamos al Sumo Hacedor. La divina respuesta, que llega con un buen sermón, con una buena lectura, con las palabras acertadas de un consejero, con los acontecimientos de la vida personal o de la historia colectiva, por citar solo algunos casos, la recibimos en este libro y en torno a temas importantes relacionados con una pregunta fundamental: ¿Cuál es el verdadero Cristo?»
Cartas a La Iglesia: Letters to the Church Spanish Edition
by Francis ChanEn una de sus más poderosas obras, el pastor Francis Chan profundiza en las verdades bíblicas, reflexiona sobre sus propios sueños y fracasos, y comparte historias de gente común que Dios está usando para cambiar el mundo. <p><p> Chan lo expresa diciendo: «Sabemos que nos hemos alejado de lo que Dios llama Iglesia. Sabemos que lo que experimentamos en la actualidad como Iglesia es radicalmente diferente a lo que las Escrituras relatan sobre la misma. Por décadas, líderes como yo, hemos perdido de vista el misterio intrínseco de la Iglesia. Hemos entrenado a la gente en las bancas a volverse adictos a cosas menos importantes. Es tiempo de cambio». <p> Cuando Jesús regrese, ¿nos encontrará cuidando de su novia más que a nosotros mismos?. Cartas a la Iglesia nos recuerda lo poderosa y gloriosa que fue la Iglesia en algún momento… y nos desafía a volver a ser esa Iglesia, la que Dios deseó desde el principio.

Cartas de un porteño
by Juan María GutiérrezEn diciembre de 1875 Juan María Gutiérrez, notable exponente de la cultura argentina, rechaza el diploma de miembro correspondiente que le otorga la Real Academia Española. La carta en la que fundamenta su decisión, publicada en uno de los periódicos bonaerenses más influyentes de la época, sorprende al ambiente literario, porque en ella Gutiérrez pone en cuestión la naturaleza del idioma que debe utilizarse en el Río de la Plata. Sostiene que el escritor americano no debe subordinarse a legisladores de su lenguaje, porque éstos pueden convertirse en legisladores de su pensamiento, más aún cuando quien dicta las normas es la Real Academia, institución monárquica fundada, a su juicio, con fines políticos, y que pretende congelar la evolución de una lengua que desde sus orígenes se nutrió con los aportes de numerosos pueblos y culturas. Desde las páginas del semanario porteño Antón Perulero, su director, el español Juan Martínez Villergas, recoge el guante y se inicia así una de las polémicas más apasionantes de nuestras historia literaria, que bajo diversas expresiones se prolongó durante casi un siglo y medio y que aun conserva una sorprendente actualidad.

Cartas en latín de C. S. Lewis y Don Giovanni Calabria: Un estudio sobre la amistad
by C. S. LewisAficionados de C.S Lewis disfrutaran de este gran trabajo histórico con comentarios sobre cartas entre grandes eclesiásticos en temas de divinidad, guerras, la iglesia y oraciones. En septiembre de 1947, tras leer Cartas del diablo a su sobrino, el padre Giovanni Calabria se sintió impulsado a escribirle al autor, pero no sabía inglés, de modo que lo hizo en latín. Así comenzó una correspondencia que sobreviviría al propio padre Calabria (murió en diciembre de 1954 y le sucedió en la correspondencia el padre Luigi Pedrollo).El traductor y editor Martin Moynihan califica estas cartas de &“límpidas, fluidas y profundamente refrescantes. También poseen un gran encanto, sobre todo por la forma en que se inician y concluyen, es decir, por los variopintos formalismos que se emplean para presentarlas o para despedirse&”.Las Cartas en latín de C. S. Lewis y Don Giovanni Calabria muestran, más que otras de sus publicaciones, la fuerte faceta devocional de Lewis y contienen temas que van desde la unidad de los cristianos y la historia moderna de Europa hasta la liturgia y el comportamiento ético general. Además, adquieren a menudo un carácter íntimo y personal.The Latin Letters of C.S. Lewis and Don Giovanni CalabriaFans of C.S. Lewis will enjoy this great historical work with commentaries on letters between great ecclesiastics on the subjects of divinity, war, the church and prayer. In September 1947, after reading C.S. Lewis&’s The Screwtape Letters in Italian, Fr. (now St.) Giovanni Calabria was moved to write the author, but he knew no English and assumed (rightly) that Lewis knew no Italian. So, he wrote his letter in Latin, hoping that, as a classicist, Lewis would know Latin. Therein began a correspondence that was to outlive Fr. Calabria himself (he died in December 1954, and was succeeded in correspondence by Fr. Luigi Pedrollo, which continued until Lewis&’s own death in 1963).Translator/editor Martin Moynihan calls these letters &“limpid, fluent and deeply refreshing. There was a charm about them, too, and not least in the way they were &‘topped and tailed&’ — that is, in their ever-slightly-varied formalities of address and of farewell.&”More than any other of his published works Latin Letters of C.S. Lewis and Don Giovanni Calabria shows the strong devotional side of Lewis and contains letters ranging from Christian unity and modern European history to liturgical worship and general ethical behavior.

Cartesian Questions III: Descartes Beneath the Mask of Cartesianism (Cultural Memory in the Present)
by Jean-Luc MarionIn this masterful work, Jean-Luc Marion shows how some of Descartes' most decisive points remain masked by the various "Cartesianisms" that historiography and convenient simplifications alike have constructed. The book's first half shows how Descartes lines up against Cartesianism, setting forth several closely argued attempts to free up the positive status of skepticism in the Cartesian corpus, the non-substantial (and non-reflexive) character of the ego cogito, the complex elaboration of the idea of the infinite, and the role of esteem as a mode of the cogitatio. Marion then offers a second set of studies examining the work of Montaigne, Hobbes, and Spinoza and seeking to reconstitute some of the ways in which Cartesianism (and non-Cartesianism) become opposed to Descartes. Arising at the pivot point between these two paths of inquiry is a chapter dedicated to Descartes and phenomenology, with particular focus on how Descartes can be understood to have practiced—in his own way and by anticipation—a genuine phenomenological reduction. The final volume in Jean-Luc Marion's erudite trilogy of Cartesian Questions, this authoritative book demonstrates that, rather than belonging strictly to the past, Descartes continues to speak to our future.

by Dallin H Oaks Marvin S HillCarthage Conspiracy deals with the general problem of Mormon/non-Mormon conflict, as well as with the dramatic story of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, his brother Hyrum, and their alleged assassins.

Cartographies of Exclusion: Anti-Semitic Mapping in Medieval England
by Asa Simon MittmanFrom the battles over Jerusalem to the emergence of the “Holy Land,” from legally mandated ghettos to the Edict of Expulsion, geography has long been a component of Christian-Jewish relations. Attending to world maps drawn by medieval Christian mapmakers, Cartographies of Exclusion brings us to the literal drawing board of “Christendom” and shows the creation, in real time, of a mythic state intended to dehumanize the non-Christian people it ultimately sought to displace. In his close analyses of English maps from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Asa Mittman makes a valuable contribution to conversations about medieval Christian perceptions of Jews and Judaism. Grounding his arguments in the history of anti-Jewish sentiment and actions rampant in twelfth- and thirteenth-century England, Mittman shows how English world maps of the period successfully Othered Jewish people by means of four primary strategies: conflating Jews with other groups; spreading libels about Jewish bodies, beliefs, and practices; associating Jews with Satan; and, most importantly, cartographically “mislocating” Jews in time and space. On maps, Jews were banished to locations and historical moments with no actual connection to Jewish populations or histories.Medieval Christian anti-Semitism is the foundation upon which modern anti-Semitism rests, and the medieval mapping of Jews was crucial to that foundation. Mittman’s thinking offers essential insights for any scholar interested in the interface of cartography, politics, and religion in premodern Europe.

Cartoons and Antisemitism: Visual Politics of Interwar Poland
by Ewa StańczykAntisemitic caricatures had existed in Polish society since at least the mid-nineteenth century. But never had the devastating impacts of this imagery been fully realized or so blatantly apparent than on the eve of the Second World War. In Cartoons and Antisemitism: Visual Politics of Interwar Poland, scholar Ewa Stańczyk explores how illustrators conceived of Jewish people in satirical drawing and reflected on the burning political questions of the day. Incorporating hundreds of cartoons, satirical texts, and newspaper articles from the 1930s, Stańczyk investigates how a visual culture that was essentially hostile to Jews penetrated deep and wide into Polish print media. In her sensitive analysis of these sources, the first of this kind in English, the author examines how major satirical magazines intervened in the ongoing events and contributed to the racialized political climate of the time.Paying close attention to the antisemitic tropes that were both local and global, Stańczyk reflects on the role of pictorial humor in the transmission of visual antisemitism across historical and geographical borders. As she discusses the communities of artists, publishers, and political commentators who made up the visual culture of the day, Stańczyk tells a captivating story of people who served the antisemitic cause, and those who chose to oppose it.

Carved in Stone, Etched in Memory: Death, Tombstones and Commemoration in Bosnian Islam since c.1500
by Amila ButurovicDespite the recent history of violence and destruction, Bosnia-Herzegovina holds a positive place in history, marked by a continuous interweaving of different religious cultures. The most expansive period in that regard is the Ottoman rule that lasted here nearly five centuries. As many Bosnians accepted Islam, the process of Islamization took on different directions and meanings, only some of which are recorded in the official documents. This book underscores the importance of material culture, specifically gravestones, funerary inscriptions and images, in tracing and understanding more subtle changes in Bosnia’s religious landscape and the complex cultural shifts and exchange between Christianity and Islam in this area. Gravestones are seen as cultural spaces that inscribe memory, history, and heritage in addition to being texts that display, in image and word, first-hand information about the deceased. In tackling these topics and ideas, the study is situated within several contextual, theoretical, and methodological frameworks. Raising questions about religious identity, history, and memory, the study unpacks the cultural and historical value of gravestones and other funerary markers and bolsters their importance in understanding the region’s complexity and improving its visibility in global discussions around multiculturalism and religious pluralism. Drawing upon several disciplinary methods, the book has much to offer anyone looking for a better understanding of the intersection of Christianity and Islam, as well as those with an interest in death studies.
Carved in Stone: The Artistry of Early New England Gravestones
by William Gilson Thomas E. GibsonEvocative photographs and essay illuminate early American gravestones Gravestones are colonial America's earliest sculpture and they provide a unique physical link to the European people who settled here. Carved in Stone book is an elegant collection of over eighty fine duotone photographs, each a personal meditation on an old stone carving, and on New England's past, where these stones tell stories about death at sea, epidemics such as small pox, the loss of children, and a grim view of the afterlife. The essay is a graceful narrative that explores a long personal involvement with the stones and their placement in New England landscape, and attempts to trace the curious and imperfectly documented story of carvers. Brief quotes from early New England writers accompany the images, and captions provide basic information about each stone. These meditative portraits present an intimate view of figures from New England graveyards and will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in early Americana and fine art photography.

Case Studies in Society, Religion, and Bioethics
by Sana LoueThis book explores, through case studies, the interplay between religion, culture, government, and politics in diverse societies on questions arising in the domain of bioethics. The case studies draw from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including history, theology, law, bioethics, public policy, science, and medicine. The text's global perspective permits a comparison of the differing approaches adopted by countries facing similar bioethical quandaries and the extent to which religion has or has not been instrumental in addressing such dilemmas.

Bioethical issues involving the interplay of religion and government have become particularly notable in recent years. How these issues are resolved has major implications for individuals, healthcare providers, and the future of medical research and medical care. Topics explored among the chapters include: Homosexuality: Sin, Crime, Pathology, Identity, BehaviorMedical Error: Truthtelling, Apology, and ForgivenessRefusal of Medical TreatmentMedical Deportation Case Study: Nazism, Religion, and Human ExperimentationThe New Frontier: Cloning Case Studies in Society, Religion, and Bioethics will find an engaged audience among researchers and scholars in history, religion/theology, medicine, and bioethics interested in the influence of religion on bioethical decision-making.

Case for Christ/Case for Faith Compilation
by Lee StrobelWas God telling the truth when he said, 'You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart'?In his #1 bestseller The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel examined the claims of Christ, reaching the hard-won verdict that Jesus is God's unique son.

This Gold Medallion-winning book is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with difficult questions standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends.'Everyone---seekers, doubters, fervent believers---benefits when Lee Strobel hits the road in search of answers, as he does again in The Case for Faith. In the course of his probing interviews, some of the toughest intellectual obstacles to faith fall away.'---Luis Palau'Lee Strobel has given believers and skeptics alike a gift in this book. He does not avoid seeking the most difficult questions imaginable, and refuses to provide simplistic answers that do more harm than good.'---Jerry Sittser, professor of religion, Whitworth College, and author of A Grace Disguised and The Will of God as a Way of Life
