Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wisdom of Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus) contains the sayings of Ben Sira, arguably the last of Israel's wise men and its first professional scribe, whose world was defined and dominated by Greek ideas and ideals. This Hellenistic worldview challenged the adequacy of the religion passed down to the Palestinian Jews of the second century B.C.E. by their ancestors. Ben Sira's training in both Judaic and Hellenistic literary traditions prepared him to meet this challenge. He vigorously opposed any compromise of Jewish values; and his teachings bolstered the faith and confidence of his people. Through its elegant poetry and vehement exhortations, The Wisdom of Ben Sira exposes the ill effects of sinful behavior on one's health, status, and spiritual and material well-being. Ben Sira's rigorous code of moral behavior was the measure of Jewish faithfulness in an era of ethical and religious bankruptcy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athenagoras (circa 133 - 190) was a Father of the Church, a Proto-orthodox Christian apologist who lived during the second half of the 2nd century of whom little is known for certain, besides that he was Athenian (though possibly not originally from Athens), a philosopher, and a convert to Christianity. In his writings he styles himself as "Athenagoras, the Athenian, Philosopher, and Christian". There is some evidence that he was a Platonist before his conversion, but this is not certain. His writings bear witness to his erudition and culture, his power as a philosopher and rhetorician, his keen appreciation of the intellectual temper of his age, and his tact and delicacy in dealing with the powerful opponents of his religion. Thus his writings are credited by some later scholars as having had a more significant impact on their intended audience than the now better-known writings of his more polemical and religiously-grounded contemporaries. The treatise on the Resurrection of the Dead, the first complete exposition of the doctrine in Christian literature, was written later than the Apology, to which it may be considered as an appendix.

Book excerpt: The problem of evil has preoccupied world religions for centuries. The Old Testament contained no uniform dogma on evil powers, launching a fierce debate that has dominated theological and philosophical thought through the centuries to this day. Evil and the Devil brings together contributions from leading inter national scholars to chart that debate, tracing the history of evil from its origins in the Old Testament through early Judaism and the New Testament to the thought of Origen and one of the topic's most influential theologians, Augustine. What role did evil adopt in ancient Judaism? What impact did the association of miracles with demons have upon Matthew's Gospel? Evil and the Devil examines such questions, resulting in a fascinating and comprehensive exploration of portrayals of evil and its power and influence on religious thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ad Nationes (To the Nations) shows that the Roman actions taken against the early Christians are violations of justice. This is followed by a listing of Roman slanders against the Christians. Tertullian points out the hypocrisy, since Romans hardly conduct themselves in anything resembling moral behavior. The second book condemns and criticizes Roman religion and their deities in particular. "The hatred held by the heathen against the Christians is unjust, because based on culpable ignorance. One proof of that ignorance of yours, which condemns whilst it excuses your injustice, is at once apparent in the fact, that all who once shared in your ignorance and hatred (of the Christian religion), as soon as they have come to know it, leave off their hatred when they cease to be ignorant; nay more, they actually themselves become what they had hated, and take to hating what they had once been. Day after day, indeed, you groan over the increasing number of the Christians. Your constant cry is, that the state is beset (by us); that Christians are in your fields, in your camps, in your islands."-Tertullian 197 AD

Book excerpt: La quinta e ultima tappa del progetto culturale “Per una nuova traduzione ecumenica commentata dei vangeli”, ideato dall’Associazione Biblica della Svizzera Italiana. Per una conoscenza dei testi biblici che cerchi di essere intelligente e appassionata, occorre stabilire dei solidi “ponti” tra una lettura che analizzi e interpreti i testi, per quanto possibile, nei loro significati originari, e la vita e la cultura di oggi, senza fondamentalismi culturali o religiosi. Nel quadro del progetto culturale “Per una nuova traduzione ecumenica commentata dei vangeli”, ideato dall’Associazione Biblica della Svizzera Italiana, questo volume – una nuova traduzione ecumenica commentata degli Atti degli Apostoli – è la quinta e ultima tappa del progetto, sviluppo conclusivo delle prime quattro. L’intero progetto è pensato per accompagnare l’attività formativa di tante persone nella Chiesa (nelle parrocchie, nei gruppi, nei movimenti, nelle associazioni di qualsiasi orientamento). Esso intende anche sostenere la volontà di singole persone che vogliano approfondire temi, contenuti e valori, che possono interpellare intensamente il cuore, la mente, la vita di chiunque. Gli Autori Ideatore del progetto e curatore del volume è Ernesto Borghi, biblista cattolico, presidente dell’Associazione Biblica della Svizzera Italiana (www.absi.ch) e coordinatore della formazione biblica nella Diocesi di Lugano (Svizzera).
