Como Leer El Apocalipsis – (Spanish)
$14.99Add to cartLa primera palabra de todo el libro es “Apocalipsis”, que queria decir “revelacion”. Esta palabra ha venido a ser, no solamente el titulo de este libro en particular, sino tambien, el nombre que se le da a todo un genero de literatura que resulto comun en los circulos judios unos pocos siglos antes del advenimiento de la fe cristiana.
Los cristianos adoptaron este genero para su propia literatura. El primer caso, y el que le dio nombre a todo el genero apocaliptico, fue el Apocalipsis de Juan. En general, la literatura apocaliptica se enfrenta a la cuestion del sufrimiento de los justos en manos de los injustos, y lo hace empleando un lenguaje altamente simbolico que combina un frecuente uso de la metafora con numeros que reciben significados misteriosos.
Este libro de Justo L. Gonzalez y Catherine Gunsalus Gonzalez explica con gran claridad todo el contexto historico y tambien la exegesis del libro del Apocalipsis; con gran erudicion, pero de forma muy clara y pedagogica, conectando, tambien, nuestras circunstancias semejantes a las del siglo primero. La injusticia y la idolatria todavia se pasean en nuestra sociedad y sobre la faz de la tierra. Por esas razones, resulta ser una gran bendicion el que el Apocalipsis, con sus advertencias aterradoras para quienes prefieren la comodidad y el exito antes que la fidelidad, sea parte de nuestro Nuevo Testamento.
Aqui, dos de los historiadores mas importantes, ofrecen a los lectores un comentario altamente accesible, perfecto para los lideres de estudios biblicos o el propio estudio personal.
Un estudio del libro del Apocalipsis de Juan, como guia para la fe y la practica cristiana. Se explica el libro biblico y explora su significado para vivir con fidelidad hoy.

History Of Early Christian Literature
$50.00Add to cartHistorical events have long been the standard lens through which scholars have sought to understand the theology of Christianity in late antiquity. The lives of significant theological figures, the rejection of individuals and movements as heretical, and the Trinitarian and christological controversies–the defining theological events of the early church–have long provided the framework with which to understand the development of early Christian belief. In this groundbreaking work, esteemed historian of Christianity Justo Gonzalez chooses to focus on the literature of early Christianity. Beginning with the epistolary writings of the earliest Christian writers of the second century CE, he moves through apologies, martyrologies, antiheretical polemics, biblical commentaries, sermons, all the way up through Augustine’s invention of spiritual autobiography and beyond. Throughout he demonstrates how literary genre played a decisive role in the construction of theological meaning. Covering the earliest noncanonical Christian writings through the fifth century and later, this book will serve as an indispensable guide to students studying the theology of the early church.

Brief History Of Sunday
$20.99Add to cartAuthoritative yet accessible historical overview of Christian Sunday worship
In this book noted Christian historian Justo Gonzalez tells the story of how and why Christians have worshiped on Sunday from the earliest days of the church to the present.

Creation : The Apple Of Gods Eye
$15.99Add to cartHow and why God loves us-God’s good creation This book will talk about the doctrine of creation and invite us to look closely at who God is and who we are in relationship with God. As people of faith, we believe that our gracious God created all there is, but does that also mean that God also created evil? How does creation jive with what scientists are telling us about the origin of the universe? What does the doctrine of creation tell us about what we call “the creation,” that is, the world, its value, purpose, etc? How does understanding the world as God’s creation teach us about our role in creation care? The Bible tells us that God created the heavens and earth, but does that deny the science of the Big Bang? What does believing that God is the Creator say about how God loves, redeems, and sustains us today or does creation say something only about the past? What about the “new creation”? Does this have anything to do with the old creation? Does it mean simply that God is so tired of the rebelliousness of creation that it seems best to erase the present one and start anew? Or is there a connection between the two? What does the doctrine of creation say about us? Aren’t we created in God’s image and aren’t we part of the good creation of a loving God? If so, why is there evil and rebelliousness in us? Where does our ill-will, our desire to do evil, come from? Is there freedom of the will or are all things preordained by God? Just how detailed is God’s plan for us? While no one author can deal with all these questions, this book will help us begin the conversation and gain new understanding of how the doctrine of creation can help us address these very human and timeless questions. Series Description: Belief Matters: How to Love God with Your Mind is a series of books written by widely recognized authors who will help readers think more clearly about their faith and better understand their beliefs, so that they can live more faithfully. These books will also help readers become aware of thoughtful resources and conceptual frames of reference that not only will deepen their faith, but also help them better understand what we say and do in Church. Conversational in tone, these books are reflections on major theological topics and are suitable for a 4-session individual or group study.

To All Nations From All Nations
$58.99Add to cartSharing the Good News might be understood as the prime directive of the Church from its earliest times, but the Church soon discovered unforeseen obstacles and its own set of temptations, including its lust for power and domination. Although the gospel might be joyfully offered, it was not always received in the same spirit. And the Church was not always gracious with dissent and criticism. Even so, the Church continues to reach out to the least, the last, and the lost-attempting to bring them into the family of God. But for mission to be effective today, it must take advantage of indigenous resources and recognize its limitations as well as its gifts.
This book broadly introduces prominent missionary practices and major historical figures using three perspectives. First, it takes into account the missionary activity proceeding from the margins rather than only discussing the center of theological and ecclesial activity. Second, it narrates the cross-cultural, cross-confessional, and cross-religious dynamics that characterize Christian missionary activity. And third, it emphasizes that much missionary activity is generated by national rather than international missionaries. The text concludes with a chapter on the postmodern and postcolonial world.

Historian Justo Gonzalez brings to life the people, dramatic events, and shaping ideas of Protestantism, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy during this period, keynoting crucial theological developments while providing fresh understanding of the social, political and economic forces that influenced the formation of the church.

The interpretive overview of The Story of Christianity includes a thorough and timely analysis of the growth and maturation of Christianity, including events in Europe, the United States, and Latin America-the latter an area too often neglected in church histories, yet increasingly vital to an understanding of Christianity’s historical development, present situation, and future options.
