Y la iglesia inventó a la mujer
by Michela MurgiaUn libro muy personal, a medio camino entre el ensayo, un libro de denuncia y un testimonio íntimo. El punto de vista privilegiado de una mujer cuya trayectoria personal e intelectual está ligada a pensar sobre la religión, Michela Murgia añade su contagiosa curiosidad y su excepcional talento para narrar. «Tenía que pasar cuentas con María, aunque en realidad este libro no es sobre la Virgen. Es un libro sobre mí, sobre mi madre, sobre mis amigas y sus hijas, sobre mi panadera, mi maestra y mi cartera. Sobre todas las mujeres que conozco y reconozco. Dentro están todas las historias de las que somos hijas y de las que son hijos también nuestros hombres: los que nos querrían guapas y calladas y, sobre todo, los otros. Este libro es también para ellos, y lo he escrito consciente de que de esta historia falsa no saldrá nadie si no nos decidimos a salir todos juntos.»Michela Murgia Tal vez sea éste el libro más personal de Michela Murgia, que tras el éxito de La acabadora se ha volcado en este original relato, mitad ensayo, mitad testimonio íntimo, que ha sido recibido con entusiasmo por la crítica y se ha situado entre los libros más leídos de Italia en los últimos meses. Centrándose especialmente en la figura de María de Nazaret, modelo de pureza y perfección, Murgia analiza cómo la imagen de la mujer que prevalece en nuestros días se ha ido formando a lo largo del tiempo a partir del imaginario católico. Con sus conocimientos de teología y su extensa actividad como animadora parroquial, Murgia expone con minuciosidad los diversos elementos que han contribuido a convalidar una visión que simplifica y margina la figura de la mujer, desde parábolas de los Evangelios o fragmentos de encíclicas papales, hasta grandes obras de arte clásico, anuncios televisivos o artículos de revistas femeninas. Reseñas:«Y la iglesia inventó a la mujer mezcla erudición e ironía, Sagradas Escrituras y experiencia propia, sin dar tregua a todos los errores y las simplezas que los creyentes chic o los ateos devotos han escrito o, sobre todo, difundido a través de la televisión.»La Repubblica «Michela Murgia demuestra que la formación católica de base sigue legitimando la jerarquía entre sexos.»Panorama «Un libro verdaderamente hermoso [...] sorprende por la meticulosidad de los análisis, porque capta nuestra atención hasta la última línea y una vez lo hemos cerrado sigue trabajando en nuestro interior, haciéndonos pensar.»Gazzetta di Parma «Una interesante reflexión.»Secolo d'Italia
Y serás llamada... bienaventurada
by Maria Annacondia«La mujer que teme al Señor es digna de alabanza», dice el libro de Proverbios. Como mujeres tenemos la responsabilidad de amar y servir a Dios desde el lugar que fuimos llamadas a hacerlo. El mapa de ruta para alcanzar el éxito en esta tarea se verá marcado por el temor que tengamos de Dios. Como se imaginará no me refiero al «terror», sino al temor amoroso que proviene de amar y honrar a Dios a través de nuestra vida, nuestro ejemplo y nuestro testimonio. Entonces comprobará que «se levantarán sus hijos y la llamarán bienaventurada, y su marido también la alabará». Delante del mundo podemos aparentar lo que no somos, pero frente a nuestro esposo e hijos no podremos sostener una mentira. Si nuestra vida es cristalina y traslúcida, se transformará en un espejo donde nuestra familia podrá mirar y hallar en nosotros la guía del Espíritu Santo.

YHWH and Israel in the Book of Judges: An Object – Relations Analysis (Society for Old Testament Study Monographs)
by Deryn GuestIn the Book of Judges the narrator presents an image of the good parent YHWH whose enduring love and loyalty is offset by his wayward child Israel who defaults on the relationship repeatedly. Biblical scholars have largely concurred, demonstrating the many faults of Israel while siding with YHWH's privileged viewpoint. When object-relations theory (which examines how human beings relate to each other) is applied to Judges, a different story emerges. In its capacity to illuminate why and how relationships can be intense, problematic, rewarding, and enduring, object-relations theory reveals how both YHWH and Israel have attachment needs that are played out vividly in the story world. Deryn Guest reveals how its narrator engages in a variety of psychological strategies to mask suppressed rage as he engages in an intriguing but rather dysfunctional masochistic dance with a dominant deity who has reputation needs.
YICHUD (Seclusion)
by Julie TeppermanThe Yichud Room is the place where the bride and groom go to be alone immediately following the wedding ceremony. In the case of Rachel and Chaim, who have only had a handful of chaperoned dates, this is the first time they have ever been alone together.In another part of the synagogue, tensions rise between the groom's older brothers, Ephraim and Menachem, rival Torah scholars who haven't seen each other in four years. Meanwhile, the bride's parents, Mordechai and Malka, are secretly planning to divorce after the wedding. YICHUD (Seclusion) directly confronts the tensions that exist in the Orthodox Jewish world between tradition and modernity, powerfully dramatizing issues of love, marriage, respect, sex, honour, and duty.
YIVO and the Making of Modern Jewish Culture
by Cecile Esther KuznitzThis book is the first history of YIVO, the original center for Yiddish scholarship. Founded by a group of Eastern European intellectuals after World War I, YIVO became both the apex of secular Yiddish culture and the premier institution of Diaspora Nationalism, which fought for Jewish rights throughout the world at a time of rising anti-Semitism. From its headquarters in Vilna, Lithuania, YIVO tried to balance scholarly objectivity with its commitment to the Jewish masses. Using newly recovered documents that were believed destroyed by Hitler and Stalin, Cecile Esther Kuznitz tells for the first time the compelling story of how these scholars built a world-renowned institution despite dire poverty and anti-Semitism. She raises new questions about the relationship between Jewish cultural and political work and analyzes how nationalism arises outside of state power.

YOU!
by Ed YoungContemporary culture has a grossly distorted view of what it means to be a person, emphasizing vanity over value, wealth over worth, and upward mobility over a higher calling. It's a view that author Ed Young stands ready to challenge. As founder and senior pastor of Fellowship Church in Dallas, the fifth largest church in America, Young has seen both the devastation that wrong views can bring and the liberation that can be found when a godly perspective takes hold. Writing in a highly readable style, Young confronts the pain and scars that hinder our growth and encourages readers to see exactly who they are in the eyes of a God who loves them beyond compare and wants the best for their lives.
YOU: A Spiritual Being on a Spiritual Journey
by Indira Dyal-DominguezYOU: A Spiritual Being on a Spiritual Journey: A New Paradigm for Living Life is a book about knowing yourself, not just as a Mind and a Body, but as an eternal spirit or Self, a vibration that is eternal. More importantly, this book is about being able to communicate with that eternal Self in a way that allows you to complete the journey you are here in this lifetime to fulfill. It teaches you how to Connect to the Self and how to use such connections to live a satisfying and fulfilling purpose-driven life. YOU: A Spiritual Being on a Spiritual Journey will give you the ability to find personal answers to live a better and more fulfilling life. By distinguishing between the Mind and the Self, this book provides specific tools that anyone can use to access their intuitive Self. It also includes stories of others who have experienced a true connection to Self and how that has helped them to evolve in a variety of areas including in their relationships, careers, finances, health, and more. Moving away from your current paradigm of the Mind to one that gives you a Connection to your Self, will feel as natural as breathing with Indira's techniques as your guide. And you will feel a level of peace you may never have thought possible. "As I began connecting to the Self within, a clear communication arose that through these four simple steps of Connect, Listen, Trust, and Act, anyone can live a life from a place that honors the journey their Self is here to unfold. " -Indira Dyal-Dominguez, from the Introduction
YOUCAT: Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church
by Cardinal Christoph SchonbornYOUCAT is short for Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is the official catechism for World Youth Day. Written for high-school age people and young adults, YOUCAT is an accessible, contemporary expression of the Catholic Faith. The popular format includes Questions-and-Answers, highly-readable commentary, margin pictures and illustrations, summary definitions of key terms, Bible citations, and quotes from the Saints and other great teachers. What's more, YOUCAT is keyed to the Catechism of the Catholic Faith, so people can go deeper. It explains: What Catholics believe (doctrine) How they celebrate the mysteries of the faith (sacraments) How Catholics are to live (moral life) How they should pray (prayer and spirituality) The questions are direct and honest, even at times tough; the answers straightforward, relevant, and compelling. After the Bible, YOUCAT will likely become the go-to place for young people to learn the truth about the Catholic faith. Pope Benedict XVI wrote the foreword; Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the editor of YOUCAT and the Archbishop of Vienna, Austria, wrote the afterword.

Ya no vivo yo: La travesía de un hijo homosexual a Dios. La búsqueda de esperanza de una madre quebrantada.
by CHRISTOPHER YUAN ANGELA YUANRegresa a casa, hay esperanza Christopher Yuan, un hijo de inmigrantes chinos, descubrió a temprana edad que era diferente. Sentía atracción por otros varones. A medida que crecía hasta la edad adulta, su madre, Angela, tenía la esperanza de poder controlar la situación. En lugar de esto, encontró que su hijo y su vida estaban fuera de control, y sus propias luchas estaban determinadas a derrotarla. Pasaron años de angustia, confusión, y oración antes de que los Yuans encontraran un lugar donde entregarse completamente, lo cual es el deseo de Dios para todas las familias. Su increíble historia, contada desde la perspectiva de la madre y el hijo, ofrece esperanza para cualquier persona afectada por la homosexualidad. Dios llama a todos los que están perdidos a regresar a casa con El. Ya no vivo yo le habla a los pródigos, a los padres de los hijos pródigos y a aquellos que quieran servir a la comunidad gay. INCLUYE UNA GUIA DE DISCUSION.

Yahweh and the Origins of Ancient Israel: Insights from the Archaeological Record
by Nissim AmzallagIn this book, Nissim Amzallag offers new perspectives on the birth of ancient Israel by combining recent archaeological discoveries with a new approach to ancient Yahwism. He investigates the renewal of the copper industry in the Early Iron Age Levant and its influence on the rise of new nations, and also explores the recently identified metallurgical context of ancient Yahwism in the Bible. By merging these two branches of evidence, Amzallag proposes that the roots of YHWH are found in a powerful deity who sponsored the emancipation movement that freed Israel from the Amorite/Egyptian hegemony. Amzallag identifies the early Israelite religion as an attempt to transform the esoteric traditions of Levantine metalworkers into the public worship of YHWH. These unusual origins provide insight into many of the unique aspects of Israelite theology that ultimately spurred the evolution towards monotheism. His volume also casts new light on the mysterious smelting-god, the figure around which many Bronze Age religions revolved.
Yahweh before Israel: Glimpses of History in a Divine Name
by Daniel E. FlemingYahweh is the proper name of the biblical God. His early character is central to understanding the foundations of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic monotheism. As a deity, the name appears only in connection with the peoples of the Hebrew Bible, but long before Israel, the name is found in an Egyptian list as one group in the land of tent-dwellers, the Shasu. This is the starting-point for Daniel E. Fleming's sharply new approach to the god Yahweh. In his analysis, the Bible's 'people of Yahweh' serve as a clue to how one of the Bronze Age herding peoples of the inland Levant gave its name to a deity, initially outside of any relationship to Israel. For 150 years, the dominant paradigm for Yahweh's origin has envisioned borrowing from peoples of the desert south of Israel. Fleming argues in contrast that Yahweh was not taken from outsiders. Rather, this divine name is evidence for the diverse background of Israel itself.
Yanantin and Masintin in the Andean World: Complementary Dualism in Modern Peru
by Hillary S. WebbYanantin and Masintin in the Andean World is an eloquently written autoethnography in which researcher Hillary S. Webb seeks to understand the indigenous Andean concept of yanantin or &“complementary opposites.&” One of the most well-known and defining characteristics of indigenous Andean thought, yanantin is an adherence to a philosophical model based on the belief that the polarities of existence (such as male/ female, dark/light, inner/outer) are interdependent and essential parts of a harmonious whole.Webb embarks on a personal journey of understanding the yanantin worldview of complementary duality through participant observation and reflection on her individual experience. Her investigation is a thoughtful, careful, and rich analysis of the variety of ways in which cultures make meaning of the world around them, and how deeply attached we become to our own culturally imposed meaning-making strategies.

Yankee Bride / Rebel Bride: Book 5 (Brides of Montclair)
by Jane PeartFor some reason at just that moment, Garnet glanced up at the house and thought she saw a shadowy figure standing at the window of the downstairs master bedroom in the wing Malcolm shared with Rose. With a little clutching sensations, Garnet wondered if Rose had seen her talking with Malcolm and if she minded that Garnet's had been the last farewell. Garnet shrugged and walked back into the garden. What difference did it make one way or the other? Malcolm belonged to Rose in a way he could never belong to her. All she had of Malcolm were memories of by-gone days. Suddenly she remembered Malcolm's parting words: "Comfort Rose if you can, and be kind to her and little Jonathan." Garnet gave her head a careless toss as if casting off such tiresome requests. Rose and Jonathan were not her responsibility! And she had no intention of taking them on, in spite of what Malcolm had asked. Besides, there were plenty of servants to care for Jonathan, and Rose seemed content enough with her endless Bible reading and piano playing and walks in the woods. It is not any concern of mine, Garnet assured herself. "I have enough to do just taking care of myself!" -- Yankee Bride and Rebel Bride is set against the turbulent backdrop of the Civil War South, and chronicles the life of Garnet Cameron, whose plan to marry the man of her dreams, Malcolm Montrose, is thwarted when he chooses a Northern bride. On the rebound, Garnet married Malcolm's brother, thus entwining the lives of all four at Montclair, the magnificent ancestral Montrose family home.
