Book excerpt: Originándose en el tronco de las religiones abrahámicas, así denominadas por partir del patriarca hebreo Abraham, el cristianismo constituye la religión mayoritaria en el mundo, iniciándose en el Levante mediterráneo, en la primera mitad del siglo I de la era común, a partir de las enseñanzas de Jesús, un rabino apodado Cristo en griego, y considerado hijo del dios hebreo Jehová. Los textos sagrados del cristianismo están recopilados en la Biblia, un conjunto de libros escritos por la mano del hombre a lo largo de los siglos, pero que dentro del pensamiento cristiano se suponen inspirados directamente por dios, y que adoptaron su actual forma al principio de la era común. A su vez, la Biblia se divide en dos partes, el Antiguo Testamento, que incluye los textos sagrados del judaísmo, y el Nuevo Testamento, que recoge los textos puramente cristianos, y que conjuntamente constituyen la base del pensamiento cristiano; al margen de ellos se encuentra también un amplio abanico de textos religiosos judeocristianos, denominados apócrifos, que no se hallan incluidos en las Escrituras por considerarse carentes de inspiración divina, pero que sí influyeron sobre los autores de los textos canónicos. Y además de los textos, inspirados y apócrifos, gozan de especial relevancia y aceptación las elaboraciones y doctrinas teológicas formuladas por las diferentes sectas e Iglesias, entre las que destaca la católica, por ser la mayoritaria y también una de las más antiguas. De este conjunto de relatos, creencias y doctrinas emana un sistema de pensamiento integral, una cosmovisión desde la que interpretar el conjunto de la realidad: el marco teórico cristiano. Jesús constituye la figura central del culto cristiano, desempeñando una función revolucionaria sobre las doctrinas y los ritos del judaísmo, que provocaría el enfrentamiento con las autoridades religiosas tradicionales, y, con el paso de las décadas, un cisma, una separación entre Sinagoga e Iglesia, entre el culto ancestral y las nuevas prácticas abanderadas por Jesús y sus seguidores, los apóstoles; a su vez, con las nuevas doctrinas y ritos, el cristianismo supone tanto una nueva religión, como una nueva forma de adorar al mismo dios del pueblo hebreo, cuya naturaleza, en la nueva secta, se considera de forma mayoritaria como única, pero compuesta por tres manifestaciones diferentes, la de dios-Padre, el dios hebreo Jehová, la de dios-Hijo, representada por el propio Jesús, y la de dios-Espíritu Santo. Las doctrinas reveladas por el dios bíblico Jehová a los profetas hebreos difieren de forma sustancial de aquéllas anunciadas por Jesús, dando lugar a una serie de conflictos e incoherencias entre el Antiguo y el Nuevo Testamento; sin embargo, la principal fuente de contradicciones entre los cánones radica en el propio proceso que llevó a la formación de la Biblia, como recopilación de textos de diversa índole, redactados de forma independiente por numerosos autores a lo largo de los siglos. El presente texto constituye el primer libro de la serie El martillo de dios, y aborda los orígenes del cristianismo en el seno del judaísmo, así como el proceso que llevó a la elaboración del canon de textos sagrados cristianos, la Biblia, pero también recoge toda una larga serie de contradicciones entre los numerosos escritos que la componen, y, de forma particular, entre aquellos que constituyen la Biblia cristiana, el Nuevo Testamento; asimismo, identifica rasgos comunes entre el relato bíblico y otros textos de similar naturaleza, entorno y época, especialmente aquellos procedentes de la antigua civilización griega, y analiza la evolución narrativa del canon cristiano, y de su personaje central, Jesús, para, en conclusión, refutar la autoría divina de las Escrituras, y demostrar la construcción progresiva de una figura mítica, que, a medida que progresa el relato, va acumulando rasgos cada vez más fantásticos, hasta su elevación a la categoría de dios.

Book excerpt: Originándose en el tronco de las religiones abrahámicas, así denominadas por partir del patriarca hebreo Abraham, el cristianismo constituye la religión mayoritaria en el mundo, iniciándose en el Levante mediterráneo, en la primera mitad del siglo I de la era común, a partir de las enseñanzas de Jesús, un rabino apodado Cristo en griego, y considerado hijo del dios hebreo Jehová. Los textos sagrados del cristianismo están recopilados en la Biblia, un conjunto de libros escritos por la mano del hombre a lo largo de los siglos, pero que dentro del pensamiento cristiano se suponen inspirados directamente por dios, y que adoptaron su actual forma al principio de la era común. A su vez, la Biblia se divide en dos partes, el Antiguo Testamento, que incluye los textos sagrados del judaísmo, y el Nuevo Testamento, que recoge los textos puramente cristianos, y que conjuntamente constituyen la base del pensamiento cristiano; al margen de ellos se encuentra también un amplio abanico de textos religiosos judeocristianos, denominados apócrifos, que no se hallan incluidos en las Escrituras por considerarse carentes de inspiración divina, pero que sí influyeron sobre los autores de los textos canónicos. Y además de los textos, inspirados y apócrifos, gozan de especial relevancia y aceptación las elaboraciones y doctrinas teológicas formuladas por las diferentes sectas e Iglesias, entre las que destaca la católica, por ser la mayoritaria y también una de las más antiguas. De este conjunto de relatos, creencias y doctrinas emana un sistema de pensamiento integral, una cosmovisión desde la que interpretar el conjunto de la realidad: el marco teórico cristiano. Como conjunto de libros, la Biblia abarca un amplio espectro de temas y géneros, destacando, en primer lugar, su aspecto mítico y religioso, que incluye el relato de la creación, la institución de un dios, y su relación con la humanidad. En segundo término, posee también una faceta moral y legislativa: el canon establece una serie de normas y prohibiciones, así como castigos en caso de incumplimiento, y, por tanto, una de sus funciones es la regulación del comportamiento a nivel individual y social, es decir, legislar. Su tercera faceta más importante es de carácter histórico: siendo imposible abstraerse de su contexto, los diferentes autores y profetas, como testigos de su época, recogieron la historia del antiguo Oriente Medio; con posterioridad, una rama diferenciada en el campo de la arqueología, la arqueología bíblica, se ha especializado en la búsqueda y el estudio de restos relacionados con las Escrituras, confirmando, en algunos casos, la veracidad de algunos de los relatos contenidos en los cánones. Un cuarto aspecto es el profético, dado que algunos de los libros versan de forma particular sobre acontecimientos que han de ocurrir en el futuro, aunque, de forma mayoritaria, en lo que era el futuro en el momento de la composición de los textos, revelados a los autores bíblicos de forma directa por dios. Uno de los casos más representativos de esta dimensión bíblica es precisamente el libro con el que concluyen las Escrituras, Apocalipsis, literalmente, Revelación. Esta faceta bíblica se constituye en una función propia y específica de los textos, centrada en pronosticar hechos relevantes para la propia fe y la comunidad cristiana, algunos de los cuales se verificarán según avance la narrativa bíblica, y, entre todos ellos, los más destacados son los de carácter escatológico, aquellos que atañen al regreso de Jesús y al fin del mundo. El presente texto constituye el primer libro de la serie El martillo de dios, y estudia la función profética de la Biblia y su regulación por parte del dios hebreo Jehová, clasificando los vaticinios en tres grupos, veterotestamentarios, neotestamentarios e intercanónicos, identificando una serie de profecías calificadas como falsas en las propias Escrituras, por no haber llegado a cumplirse, o bien, formuladas a posteriori, no constituyen en absoluto profecías, así como una dimensión política del fenómeno profético, demostrando, finalmente, que las propias Escrituras ordenan la muerte de los profetas bíblicos.

Pero la ciencia gasta millones y millones de dolares tratando de saber: El origen del universo, el origen de la energía oscura, el origen de la gravedad, el origen de la luz, el origen de la vida, el origen del hombre, el origen de la humanidad, el origen del eslabón perdido, el origen de los animales, el origen de las plantas entre otros. todos estos temas y muchos otros más, ya tienen respuesta en la BIBLIA; Pero aunque la leamos muy DETENIDAMENTE, NO SE VE. La humanidad tiene leyendo la Biblia hace mas de tres mil años y no ha logrado dar con todas estas respuesta que TODOS HOY BUSCAN, PERO DESDE HOY DIOS LAS REVELA PARA USTEDES CON ESTA SIMPLE LECTURA.Trato de exponer de manera muy sencilla y de fácil lectura Bíblica que todo lo que Dios ha creado, lo ha hecho mediante un proceso evolutivo.Todo lo expuesto, proporciona gran ayuda tanto como para la ciencia como para la humanidad misma....

This book was released on 1989 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive edition of Columbus's account of the voyage presents the most accurate printed version of his journal available to date. Unfortunately both Columbus's original manuscript, presented to Ferdinand and Isabella along with other evidence of his discoveries, and a single complete copy have been lost for centuries. The primary surviving record of the voyage-part quotation, part summary of the complete copy-is a transcription made by Bartolome de las Casas in the 1530s. This new edition of the Las Casas manuscript presents its entire contents-including notes, insertions, and canceled text-more accurately, completely, and graphically than any other Spanish text published so far. In addition, the new translation, which strives for readability and accuracy, appears on pages facing the Spanish, encouraging on-the- spot comparisons of the translation with the original. Study of the work is further facilitated by extensive notes, documenting differences between the editors' transcription and translation and those of other transcribers and translators and summarizing current research and debates on unanswered current research and debates on unanswered questions concerning the voyage. In addition to being the only edition in which Spanish and English are presented side by side, this edition includes the only concordance ever prepared for the Diario. Awaited by scholars, this new edition will help reduce the guesswork that has long plagued the study of Columbus's voyage. It may shed light on a number of issues related to Columbus's navigational methods and the identity of his landing places, issues whose resolution depend, at least in part, on an accurate transcription of the Diario. Containing day-by-day accounts of the voyage and the first sighting of land, of the first encounters with the native populations and the first appraisals of his islands explored, and of a suspenseful return voyage to Spain, the Diario provides a fascinating and useful account to historians, geographers, anthropologists, sailors, students, and anyone else interested in the discovery-or in a very good sea story. Oliver Dunn received the PH.D. degree from Cornell University. He is Professor Emeritus in Purdue University and a longtime student of Spanish and early history of Spanish America. James E. Kelley, Jr., received the M.A. degree from American University. A mathematician and computer and management consultant by vocation, for the past twenty years he has studied the history of European cartography and navigation in late-medieval times. Both are members of the Society for the History of Discoveries and have written extensively on the history of navigation and on Columbus's first voyage, Although they remain unconvinced of its conclusions, both were consultants to the National geographic Society's 1986 effort to establish Samana Cay as the site of Columbus's first landing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ángel Rama was one of twentieth-century Latin America's most distinguished men of letters. Writing across Cultures is his comprehensive analysis of the varied sources of Latin American literature. Originally published in 1982, the book links Rama's work on Spanish American modernism with his arguments about the innovative nature of regionalist literature, and it foregrounds his thinking about the close relationship between literary movements, such as modernism or regionalism, and global trends in social and economic development. In Writing across Cultures, Rama extends the Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz's theory of transculturation far beyond Cuba, bringing it to bear on regional cultures across Latin America, where new cultural arrangements have been forming among indigenous, African, and European societies for the better part of five centuries. Rama applies this concept to the work of the Peruvian novelist, poet, and anthropologist José María Arguedas, whose writing drew on both Spanish and Quechua, Peru's two major languages and, by extension, cultures. Rama considered Arguedas's novel Los ríos profundos (Deep Rivers) to be the most accomplished example of narrative transculturation in Latin America. Writing across Cultures is the second of Rama's books to be translated into English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Laura Restrepo's stunning novel, a feud between two Colombian drug families escalates into a bloody, high-stakes war that will leave no one in its path untouched. The Barragáns and the Monsalves are rival clans, each steeped in wealth and power, each subject only to laws of their own making. The similarities end there. While the Barragáns, headed by the brutal Nando, remain tied to the ancient traditions, the Monsalves grapple with whether or not to follow Mani, their charismatic and conflicted leader, into a modern age in which even fewer rules apply. As both clans ponder the profits they might reap from an expanding global cocaine trade, Nando and Mani are faced with the consequences of their violent pasts--and forced, by their disillusioned women and the prices on their heads, to reckon with the possibility that nothing will be left once all their bullets have found their targets. Rife with sensual detail, this epic story of lust, betrayal, and revenge is as timeless as interfamily conflict and as immediate as today's news.

Book excerpt: This book addresses the major critical and interpretive issues of contemporary experimental poetic texts. Critical approaches, historical contexts, and basic concepts are surveyed in two introductory essays, while the study of poetic movements in historical context and the chronological trajectory of production of experimental texts are discussed in the first major segment of the volume, Experimentation in Its Historical Moment. The principal topic addressed here is the nature of experimental poetry in revolutionary social contexts. The second major theme, focused upon in the section Experimentation in the Language Arts, is that of language as a vehicle for experiments and cognitive quests, aimed not at the production of truth or social emancipation but at experiential aspects of language and language use. Haroldo de Campos's fragmented poetic prose work Galàxias is a highlighted topic of attention, as are poetic and language experiments in Lettrism, Fluxus, sound poetry, and new technological poetries. The development of the basic tenets of Concrete poetry and current critical perspectives on its status in poetical experimentation constitute the basis of the third section of the book, Concrete and Neo-Concrete Poetry. The relationship of historical Concrete poetry to artistic genres is presented, with special emphasis on Brazil and on contemporary visual writing. The section Memoirs of Concrete, in the context of oral history, includes retrospective accounts by two of Concrete poetry's most renowned editors. The closing section of this book presents statements on the theory and practice of avant-garde poetry by 22 participants in the Yale Symphosymposium on Contemporary Poetics and Concretism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean port of Livorno was home to one of the most prominent and privileged Jewish enclaves of early modern Europe. Focusing on Livornese Jewry, this book offers an alternative perspective on Jewish acculturation during the eighteenth century, and reassesses common assumptions about the interactions of Jews with outside culture and the impact of state reforms on the corporate Jewish community. Working from a vast array of previously untapped archival and literary sources, Francesca Bregoli combines cultural analysis with a study of institutional developments to investigate Jewish responses to Enlightenment thought and politics, as well as non-Jewish perceptions of Jews, through an exploration of Jewish-Christian cultural exchange, sites of sociability, and reformist policies. Mediterranean Enlightenment shows that Livornese Jewish scholars engaged with Enlightenment ideals and aspired to contribute to society at large without weakening the boundaries of traditional Jewish life. By arguing that the privileged status of Livorno Jewry had conservative rather than liberalizing effects, it also challenges the notion that economic utility facilitates Jewish integration, nuancing received wisdom about processes of emancipation in Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stylized reissue of the acclaimed, surreal noir collaboration between Mexico’s greatest writer and its most courageous revolutionary. “Taibo’s expertise ensures a smart, funny book, and Marcos brings a wry sense of humor.” —Publishers Weekly In alternating chapters, Zapatista leader Subcomandante Marcos and the consistently excellent Paco Ignacio Taibo II create an uproarious murder mystery with two intersecting storylines. The chapters written by the famously masked Marcos originate in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico. There, the fictional “Subcomandante Marcos” assigns Elias Contreras—an odd but charming mountain man—to travel to Mexico City in search of an elusive and hideous murderer named “Morales.” The second story line, penned by Taibo, stars his famous series detective Hector Belascoaran Shayne. Hector guzzles Coca-Cola and smokes cigarettes furiously amidst his philosophical and always charming approach to investigating crimes—in this case, the search for his own “Morales.” The two stories collide absurdly and dramatically in the urban sprawl of Mexico City. The ugly history of the city’s political violence rears its head, and both detectives find themselves in an unpredictable dance of death with forces at once criminal, historical, and political. Readers expecting political heavy-handedness will be disarmed by the humility and playful self-mocking that runs throughout the book.
