Contemplando a Dios con la Gran Tradición

Contemplando a Dios con la Gran Tradición

Carl R Trueman; Craig A Carter

Teologia Para Vivir
2023
pokkari
C MO ES EL DIOS QUE ADORAMOS? Craig Carter presenta los fundamentos b blicos y teol gicos del te smo trinitario cl sico. Carter, un destacado te logo cristiano conocido por sus provocadoras defensas de los planteamientos cl sicos de la doctrina, critica la reciente tendencia a modificar o rechazar el te smo cl sico en favor de las modernas concepciones relacionales de Dios. El libro incluye una breve historia de la teolog a trinitaria desde sus or genes patr sticos hasta la poca moderna, y un ap ndice final ofrece un breve resumen de la teolog a trinitaria cl sica. Se trata de uno de los libros m s importantes sobre te smo trinitario cl sico publicados en los ltimos tiempos. "Lejos de poner a Dios en una cajita ordenada, la doctrina ortodoxa de Dios destroza nuestras tendencias idol tricas y nos alerta contemplativamente hacia un camino mejor que se encuentra en la Sagrada Escritura. Frente a las mitolog as del estudio cient fico moderno (incluso en sus formas supuestamente evang licas), Carter dirige nuestra mirada hacia arriba hacia los misterios de la fe, hacia el exterior para aprender de la comuni n de los santos, y hacia delante para la llamada a la ex gesis de la Palabra de Dios que nunca termina".Michael Allen "Durante d cadas los evang licos han absorbido el te smo relacional y han asumido que es consistente con el testimonio b blico. Craig Carter expone esta suposici n defectuosa, revelando la radical inconsistencia del trinitarismo social con la propia presentaci n de las Escrituras del Dios trino."Matthew Barrett "Tenemos mucho que aprender de la maravillosa descripci n y celebraci n de Carter de los m ritos b blicos y teol gicos del te smo trinitario cl sico. Carter escribe con elocuencia y humildad, conduciendo al lector hacia una sorprendente profundidad de la confesi n de la iglesia universal del Se or trascendente y soberano. Pocos libros le llevan a uno a adorar tan abiertamente como el de Carter, llam ndonos a abandonar los retratos relacionales superficiales de Dios en favor de deleitarnos en la extraordinaria grandeza de Dios".Christopher Holmes, profesor asociado de teolog a sistem tica, jefe del programa de teolog a, Escuela de Artes, Universidad de Otago SOBRE EL AUTORCRAIG A. CARTER (PhD, University of St. Michael's College) es profesor de teolog a en la Tyndale University de Toronto y te logo residente en la Westney Heights Baptist Church de Ajax, Ontario. Es autor de varios libros. El Dr. Carter es considerado uno de los eruditos m s importantes de los tiempos modernos.

A comprehensive, two-volume reassessment of the quests for the historical Jesus that details their origins and underlying presuppositions as well as their ongoing influence on today's biblical and theological scholarship.Jesus' life and teaching is important to every question we ask about what we believe and why we believe it. And yet there has never been common agreement about his identity, intentions, or teachings—even among first-century historians and scholars. Throughout history, different religious and philosophical traditions have attempted to claim Jesus and paint him in the cultural narratives of their heritage, creating a labyrinth of conflicting ideas.From the evolution of orthodoxy and quests before Albert Schweitzer's famous "Old Quest," to today's ongoing questions about criteria, methods, and sources, A History of the Quests for the Historical Jesus not only chronicles the developments but lays the groundwork for the way forward.The late Colin Brown brings his scholarly prowess in both theology and biblical studies to bear on the subject, assessing not only the historical and exegetical nuts and bolts of the debate about Jesus of Nazareth but also its philosophical, sociological, and theological underpinnings. Instead of seeking a bedrock of "facts," Brown stresses the role of hermeneutics in formulating questions and seeking answers.Colin Brown was almost finished with the manuscript at the time of his passing in 2019. Brought to its final form by Craig A. Evans, this book promises to become the definitive history and assessment of the quests for the historical Jesus.Volume One covers the period from the beginnings of Christianity to the end of World War II.Volume Two (sold separately) covers the period from the post-War era through contemporary debates.

Using an updated version of RAND's Recruiting Resource Model, the authors analyze the relationship between observed and alternative mixes of Army spending on recruiting resources (advertising, recruiters, and bonuses) and recruiting outcomes, particularly contracts and accessions. Results indicate that TV advertising and, to a lesser extent, recruiters are more cost-effective than bonuses at increasing enlistments.

Roman Homosexuality

Roman Homosexuality

Oxford University Press Inc
1999

This comprehensive study of Roman sexuality and the ideologies of masculinity discusses a wide range of ancient texts, arguing that native Roman concepts of masculinity did not rely on the distinction between homosexuality and heterosexuality, but were instead structured around such antitheses as free vs. slave, dominant vs. subordinate, and masculine vs. effeminate.

Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents

Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents

Craig A. Anderson; Douglas A. Gentile; Katherine E. Buckley

Oxford University Press Inc
2007
sidottu
Violent video games are successfully marketed to and easily obtained by children and adolescents. Even the U.S. government distributes one such game, America's Army, through both the internet and its recruiting offices. Is there any scientific evidence to support the claims that violent games contribute to aggressive and violent behaviour? Anderson, Gentile, and Buckley first present an overview of empirical research on the effects of violent video games, and then add to this literature three new studies that fill the most important gaps. They update the traditional General Aggression Model to focus on both developmental processes and how media-violence exposure can increase the likelihood of aggressive and violent behaviour in both short and long-term contexts. Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents also reviews the history of these games' explosive growth, and explores the public policy options for controlling their distribution. Anderson et al. describe the reaction of the games industry to scientific findings that exposure to violent video games and other forms of media violence constitutes a significant risk factor for later aggressive and violent behavior. They argue that society should begin a more productive debate about whether to reduce the high rates of exposure to media violence, and delineate the public policy options that are likely be most effective. As the first book to unite empirical research on and public policy options for violent video games, Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents will be an invaluable resource for student and professional researchers in social and developmental psychology and media studies.

Habitual Offenders

Habitual Offenders

Craig A. Monson

University of Chicago Press
2016
sidottu
In April 1644, two nuns fled Bologna’s convent for reformed prostitutes. A perfunctory archiepiscopal investigation went nowhere, and the nuns were quickly forgotten. By June of the next year, however, an overwhelming stench drew a woman to the wine cellar of her Bolognese townhouse, reopened after a two-year absence—where to her horror she discovered the eerily intact, garroted corpses of the two missing women. Drawing on over four thousand pages of primary sources, the intrepid Craig A. Monson reconstructs this fascinating history of crime and punishment in seventeenth-century Italy. Along the way, he explores Italy’s back streets and back stairs, giving us access to voices we rarely encounter in conventional histories: prostitutes and maidservants, mercenaries and bandits, along with other “dubious” figures negotiating the boundaries of polite society. Painstakingly researched and breathlessly told, Habitual Offenders will delight historians and true-crime fans alike.

Nuns Behaving Badly

Nuns Behaving Badly

Craig A. Monson

University of Chicago Press
2010
sidottu
Witchcraft. Arson. Going AWOL. Some nuns in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italy strayed far from the paradigms of monastic life. Cloistered in convents, subjected to stifling hierarchy, repressed, and occasionally persecuted by their male superiors, these women circumvented authority in sometimes extraordinary ways. But tales of their transgressions have long been buried in the Vatican Secret Archive. That is, until now. In "Nuns Behaving Badly", Craig A. Monson resurrects forgotten tales and restores to life the long-silent voices of these cloistered heroines. Here we meet nuns who dared to speak out about physical assault and sexual impropriety (some real, some imagined). Others were guilty only of misjudgment or of defacing valuable artwork that offended their sensibilities. But what unites the women and their stories is the challenge they faced: these were women trying to find their way within the Catholicism of their day and through the strict limits it imposed on them. In resurrecting these long-forgotten tales and trials, Monson also draws attention to the predicament of modern religious women, whose "misbehavior" - seeking ordination as priests or refusing to give up their endowments to pay for priestly wrongdoing in their own archdioceses - continues even today. The nuns of early modern Italy, Monson shows, set the standard for religious transgression in their own age - and beyond.

Divas in the Convent

Divas in the Convent

Craig A. Monson

University of Chicago Press
2012
nidottu
When eight-year-old Lucrezia Orsina Vizzana (1590-1662) entered one of the preeminent convents in Bologna in 1598, she had no idea what cloistered life had in store for her. Thanks to clandestine instruction from a local maestro di cappella - and despite the church hierarchy's vehement opposition to all convent music - Vizzana became the star of the convent, composing works so thoroughly modern and expressive that a recent critic described them as "historical treasures." But at the very moment when Vizzana's works appeared in 1623 - she would be the only Bolognese nun ever to publish her music - extraordinary troubles beset her and her fellow nuns, as episcopal authorities arrived to investigate anonymous allegations of sisterly improprieties with male members of their order. Craig A. Monson retells the story of Vizzana and the nuns of Santa Cristina to elucidate the role that music played in the lives of these cloistered women. Monson explains how the sisters - refusing to accept what the church hierarchy called God's will and what the nuns perceived as a besmirching of their honor - fought back with words and music, and when these proved futile, with bricks, roof tiles, and stones. These women defied one Bolognese archbishop after another, cardinals in Rome, and even the pope himself, until threats of excommunication and abandonment by their families brought them to their knees twenty-five years later. By then, Santa Cristina's imaginative but frail composer literally had been driven mad by the conflict. Monson's fascinating narrative relies heavily on the words of its various protagonists, on both sides of the cloister wall, who emerge vividly as imaginative, independent-minded, and not always sympathetic figures. In restoring the musically gifted Lucrezia Orsina Vizzana to history, Monson introduces readers to the full range of captivating characters who played their parts in seventeenth-century convent life.
