"Cada Cristiano está llamado a Hacer Discípulos! Con frecuencia, en nuestras iglesias hay tantos enfoques sobre la primera parte de la Gran Comisión –evangelismo-, que la segunda parte es pasada por alto. Lo que se ha omitido no es la predicación de Cristo o la importancia de la misión mundial; es la enseñanza de otros sobre lo que significa ser un seguidor de Jesús. El triste resultado son las generaciones de creyentes que tratan de ser diferentes del mundo y no entienden por qué no lo son. En La Iglesia Hacedora de Discípulos, Bill Hull explica por qué hacer discípulos debe ser el enfoque de la iglesia y nos muestra cómo hacer nuestra parte. Con prácticos ejemplos extraídos de su vasta experiencia ministerial, Hull anima a la iglesia a profundizar y enriquecer la vida de los creyentes mientras aprenden a seguir verdaderamente a Jesús. "La visión de Bill Hull ha transformado mi vida personal e inspirado a los líderes de mi congregación. La Iglesia Hacedora de Discípulos debería ser un recurso esencial para cualquier pastor o líder que busca edificar una iglesia que florezca en ser y hacer discípulos de Jesucristo." Brian Benson, Pastor Principal de Chino Valley Community Church, Chino Hills, California "La extensa experiencia pastoral de Bill Hull, combinada con su larga historia como consultor de muchas iglesias y denominaciones alrededor del mundo, no sólo constituye una base teórica, sino también un recurso muy práctico para la iglesia." Michael J. Wilkins, Reconocido Profesor de Lenguas y Literatura del Nuevo Testamento Decano de la Facultad de Teología de Talbot School, Universidad de Biola."

Ante la pérdida de impulso y dirección que sufre la iglesia moderna, es necesaria una renovación. Desafortunadamente, hay pocos líderes y pastores con corazón apostólico, y en demasiados casos, luchan con la frustración y la falta de dirección. Más que trabajadores conscientes o de que muchas cosas sucedan, los programas eclesiásticos y los movimientos de membresía no cumplen el propósito de la Gran Comisión. ¿Dónde están los que, por amor a Dios, salen a hacer discípulos a todas las naciones? Tal vez hayamos olvidado ya el ejemplo de la iglesia del Nuevo Testamento, desviándonos tanto del mandato de Cristo que tomarlo como modelo de vida, nos hace ver como fanáticos. Pero el mandamiento de hacer discípulos no ha perdido su autoridad y relevancia. "Cada década, son pocos los libros que definen claramente los temas críticos, que presentan magistralmente las verdades bíblicas y desafían tan radicalmente los conceptos tradicionales. ¡El Pastor Hacedor de Discípulos es uno de esos libros!" DAN SPADER Primer Director de Son Life, Instituto Bíblico Moody

We live in a deeply broken world . . . but there is hope. Sexuality is a fundamental part of what it means to be human—part of God's beautiful design when he created all things. And yet, sex in our world today looks nothing like the way that God intended it to be. Sexual brokenness surrounds us and, in one way or another, affects us all. This sexual brokenness reveals our deep need for redemption— something quick fixes, mere behavior modification, or a set of rules can't provide. Honest and direct yet kind and caring, this book points us to the only place we can find help for sexual brokenness—the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. Only this grace offers hope for a life of freedom, purity, and joy as God intended.

The world is configured in ways that seem systematically hospitable to life forms, especially the human race. Is this the outcome of divine planning or simply of the laws of physics? Ancient Greeks and Romans famously disagreed on whether the cosmos was the product of design or accident. In this book, David Sedley examines this question and illuminates new historical perspectives on the pantheon of thinkers who laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Versions of what we call the "creationist" option were widely favored by the major thinkers of classical antiquity, including Plato, whose ideas on the subject prepared the ground for Aristotle's celebrated teleology. But Aristotle aligned himself with the anti-creationist lobby, whose most militant members—the atomists—sought to show how a world just like ours would form inevitably by sheer accident, given only the infinity of space and matter. This stimulating study explores seven major thinkers and philosophical movements enmeshed in the debate: Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Socrates, Plato, the atomists, Aristotle, and the Stoics.

Students of American history know of the law’s critical role in systematizing a racial hierarchy in the United States. Showing that this history is best appreciated in a comparative perspective, The Long, Lingering Shadow looks at the parallel legal histories of race relations in the United States, Brazil, and Spanish America. Robert J. Cottrol takes the reader on a journey from the origins of New World slavery in colonial Latin America to current debates and litigation over affirmative action in Brazil and the United States, as well as contemporary struggles against racial discrimination and Afro-Latin invisibility in the Spanish-speaking nations of the hemisphere. Ranging across such topics as slavery, emancipation, scientific racism, immigration policies, racial classifications, and legal processes, Cottrol unravels a complex odyssey. By the eve of the Civil War, the U.S. slave system was rooted in a legal and cultural foundation of racial exclusion unmatched in the Western Hemisphere. That system’s legacy was later echoed in Jim Crow, the practice of legally mandated segregation. Jim Crow in turn caused leading Latin Americans to regard their nations as models of racial equality because their laws did not mandate racial discrimination— a belief that masked very real patterns of racism throughout the Americas. And yet, Cottrol says, if the United States has had a history of more-rigid racial exclusion, since the Second World War it has also had a more thorough civil rights revolution, with significant legal victories over racial discrimination. Cottrol explores this remarkable transformation and shows how it is now inspiring civil rights activists throughout the Americas.

Genre: Literary Criticism
ISBN:

In Afro-Argentine Discourse, Marvin A. Lewis attempts to write blacks back into the literary history of Argentina by treating in depth, for the first time, the written expression of Argentines of African descent during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Because their contributions are overlooked or minimized in most literary histories, it is often assumed that blacks had little or no part in the development of Argentine literature. Through original archival research, Lewis corrects this erroneous assumption by examining texts never before made available to the academic community. Afro-Argentine Discourse investigates a new dimension of the black experience in the Americas and will stir much interest and debate regarding the black presence in Argentina.

A groundbreaking collection of essays in feminist music criticism, this book addresses problems of gender and sexuality in repertoires ranging from the early seventeenth century to rock and performance art.

Choice"Feminine Endings, a provocative 'sexual politics' of Western classical or art music, rocks conservative musicology at its core. No review can do justice to the wealth of ideas and possibilities [McClary's] book presents. All music-lovers should read it, and cheer." The Women's Review of Books"McClary writes with a racy, vigorous, and consistently entertaining style. . . . What she has to say specifically about the music and the text is sharp, accurate, and telling; she hears what takes place musically with unusual sensitivity."-The New York Review of Books

Todos somos discipulados. La verdadera pregunta es: ¿Qué nos está discipulando? La mayoría de los cristianos hoy en día son discipulados por medios populares, eventos ostentosos y teología tradicional porque las iglesias han descuidado su responsabilidad de hacer discípulos. Pero la iglesia no es una plataforma secundaria en la misión de Dios; es la plataforma principal que Dios usa para que Su pueblo crezca a la imagen de Jesús. Por lo tanto, como líderes en la iglesia, es nuestra responsabilidad principal establecer entornos y relaciones donde las personas puedan ser entrenadas, crecer y ser enviadas como discípulos. Hay tres elementos indispensables del discipulado: -Aprender a participar en la historia bíblica (la Biblia). -Crecer en nuestra confesión de quién es Dios y quiénes somos nosotros (teología). -Participar regularmente en acción intencional privada y corporativa (disciplinas espirituales). Discipulado profundo equipa a las iglesias a reclamar la responsabilidad de discipular a las personas en cualquier punto de su jornada. Everyone is being discipled. The question is: What is discipling us? The majority of Christians today are being discipled by popular media, flashy events, and folk theology because churches have neglected their responsibility to make disciples. But the church is not a secondary platform in the mission of God; it is the primary platform God uses to grow people into the image of Jesus. Therefore, as church leaders, it is our primary responsibility to establish environments and relationships where people can be trained, grow, and be sent as disciples. There are three indispensable elements of discipleship: -Learning to participate in the biblical story (the Bible). -Growing in our confession of who God is and who we are (theology). -Regularly participating in private and corporate intentional action (spiritual disciplines). Deep Discipleship equips churches to reclaim the responsibility of discipling people at any point on their journey.
