Dehumanization has led to serious misinterpretation of the Gospels. On the one hand, Christians have often made Jesus so much more than human that it seemed inappropriate to ask about the influence other human beings had on him, male or female. On the other hand, women have been treated as less than fully human, their names omitted from stories and their voices and influence on Jesus neglected. When we ask the question this book does, what Jesus learned from women, puzzling questions that have frustrated readers of the Gospels throughout history suddenly find solutions. Weaving cutting edge biblical scholarship together with an element of historical fiction and a knack for writing for a general audience, James McGrath makes the stories of women in the New Testament come alive, and sheds fresh light on the figure of Jesus as well. This book is a must read for scholars, students, and anyone else interested in Jesus and/or in the role of ancient women in the context of their times.

Eliseo Pérez con gran creatividad va tejiendo su libro a partir del campo semántico de la última cena; y así como el menú es tan minucioso, así también el libro de Pérez está lleno de datos y estadísticas de todo tipo, interesantísimos. En torno a la comida, el autor hila el presente y el pasado geopolítico, económico, cultural y ecológico. Todo el menú está cargado de historias sagradas y profanas con sus respectivos datos socioculturales. With great creativity, Eliseo Pérez weaves through the semantic field of the Last Supper. The Last Supper is filled with details, full of fascinating data and statistics – this book is meticulous in covering all of them. Closely examining this meal, the author parallels the present with the ecological, cultural, economic, and geopolitical past, and offers a look at the meal’s histories, both sacred and worldly with its respective sociocultural data.

Creada a su imagen, en palabras de la autora, responde a la necesidad de proveer herramientas bíblicas y teológicas a más de la mitad de las personas que asisten a nuestras iglesias. No hay iglesia que no testifique de la presencia, trabajo y tesón de las mujeres en todos los ámbitos de trabajo y servicio eclesial. Sin embargo, pocas veces nos preguntamos si nuestro ministerio es integral y pertinente a las necesidades y esperanzas de estas mujeres que son parte del cuerpo de Cristo. Esta obra pretende dar respuesta a esta necesidad y proveer una pastoral diseñada para la mujer.

Domestic violence is a significant threat to women’s survival. But Christian understandings of marriage often prevent women from resisting abusive relationships. Can the Church’s teaching on marriage be reshaped so that it helps women to survive, rather than encourage them to submit to their husband, bear their cross, or sacrifice themselves for the sake of their marriage? Focusing on everyday practices of marriage in two very different contexts: Argentina and England, Reimagining Theologies of Marriage in Contexts of Domestic Violence considers how Christian understandings of marriage as a covenant or sacrament relate to the lived experience of marriage. Drawing on Augustine’s notion of the goods of marriage, and on belief in the saving power of marriage, this book suggests that only when the wellbeing of bodies is central to a marriage can it have the power to save.

Un texto desafiante, que recupera la memoria ancestral de aquellas mujeres que han trastocado y signado el accionar simbólico del movimiento de Jesús. Elsa Tamez nos presenta esta obra que no pierde vigencia -en una edición revisada y aumentada- para estos tiempos donde la teología feminista está cargada de urgencias y sororidad ante la realidad de miles de mujeres en vulnerabilidad. Cualquier semejanza con la actualidad NO ES pura coincidencia. En momentos en que la polémica sobre la discriminación hacia la mujer, los femicidios, y el odio de un patriarcado hostil y en decadencia, parece saltar las tapias de las iglesias y llegar hasta las propias Sagradas Escrituras, la teóloga mexicana Elsa Tamez presenta una invitación para conocer de una manera más íntima y desprejuiciada a las mujeres que siguieron a Jesús. Mujeres que amaron y desafiaron una época. Mujeres anónimas que lucharon y resistieron. Mujeres que fueron discípulas y maestras. Las mujeres en el movimiento de Jesús es una nueva edición revisada y aumentada de un documentado estudio bíblico y de teología feminista, que tiene la particularidad de estar narrado -con asombrosos giros poéticos- en primera persona por Lidia, una líder cuyo actuar aparece en el libro bíblico de Hechos, y que ahora nos da el punto de vista feminista de bellas historias jamás contadas -de tal manera- hasta ahora. El libro también está concebido como una herramienta para motivar a las mujeres de la iglesia de hoy a repensar sus vidas en relación con su entorno.

In The Coloniality of the Secular, An Yountae investigates the collusive ties between the modern concepts of the secular, religion, race, and coloniality in the Americas. Drawing on the work of Édouard Glissant, Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, Sylvia Wynter, and Enrique Dussel, An maps the intersections of revolutionary non-Western thought with religious ideas to show how decoloniality redefines the sacred as an integral part of its liberation vision. He examines these thinkers’ rejection of colonial religions and interrogates the narrow conception of religion that confines it within colonial power structures. An explores decoloniality’s conception of the sacred in relation to revolutionary violence, gender, creolization, and racial phenomenology, demonstrating its potential for reshaping religious paradigms. Pointing out that the secular has been pivotal to regulating racial hierarchies under colonialism, he advocates for a broader understanding of religion that captures the fundamental ideas that drive decolonial thinking. By examining how decolonial theory incorporates the sacred into its vision of liberation, An invites readers to rethink the transformative power of decoloniality and religion to build a hopeful future.

These 15 articles were chosen by Testamentum Imperium Founder Kevaughn Mattis with Michael G. Maness from among 163 articles published in the 2011 online journal. Each author was chosen for their expertise and decades of experience in the practice of pastoral care in their unique fields. How the practicality of grace applies in suicide, sex addiction, sexual assault, shame, hospital or prison chaplaincy, even in eschatology and forgiveness is covered by these veterans in the field. The articles touch a broad scope of affliction from physical to moral dilemmas. And part of the choice was not to find from the 163 those who see eye-to-eye. We desired to share the unique expertise. Each author is a weathered captain who has ferried souls across tumultuous waves of grief, confusion, self-control, and internal torment to a port of healing and peaceful victory.
