A Flexible Faith

Sinopsis del Libro

BONNIE KRISTIAN shows that a vibrant diversity within Christian orthodoxy-which is simply to say a range of different ways to faithfully follow Jesus-is a strength of our faith, not a weakness. It is all too easy to fail to grasp the diversity of the Christian faith-especially for those who have grown up in one branch of the church and never explored another. We fail to realize how many ways there are to follow Jesus, convinced that our own tradition is the one Christian alternative to nonbelief. A FLEXIBLE FAITH is written for the convinced and confused believer alike. It is a readable exploration of the lively theological diversity that stretches back through church history and across the spectrum of Christianity today. It is an easy introduction to how Christians have historically answered key questions about what it means to follow Jesus. Chapters will include 17 big theological questions and answers; profiles of relevant figures in church history; discussion questions; single-page Q&As-profiles of more unusual types of Christians (e.g., a Catholic nun or a member of an Amish community); and a guide to major Christian denominations today. As Bonnie shares her wrestlings with core issues-such as who Jesus is, what place the Church has in our lives, how to disagree yet remain within a community, and how to love the Bible for what it actually is-she teaches us how to walk courageously through our own tough questions. Following Jesus is big and it is something that individual believers, movements, and denominations have expressed in uncountably different ways over the centuries. In the process of helping us sort things out, Bonnie shows us how to be comfortable with diversity in the Body. And as we learn to hold questions in one hand and answers in the other, we will discover new depths of faith that will remain secure even through the storms of life.

El nuevo soñador

Con reflexión teológica, aportes, bíblicos y del Magisterio, una correspondiente actualización atropológica y las tradiciones y literatura del judaísmo, Bernardo Olivera nos acerca a su tan querido San José, el varón más santo del cristianismo. En esta novedosa mirada sobre el hombre que Dios eligió para cuidar a Jesús, el autor expone cómo José nos ha enseñado lo que Dios quiere para su criatura humana; su silencio es elocuente, hechos más que palabras.

Soldado Desarmado

Caro leitor, O motivo para eu ter a pedido Frances, minha dedicada esposa, para escrever este livro é que ela conhece melhor do que ninguém as experiências que Deus me deu e meu desejo de me ater o máximo possível aos fatos. Meu principal interesse é incentivar vocês, nossos leitores, a escolherem dedicar a vida ao Senhor e estar prontos para encontrá-lo em seu breve retorno. Deus escreveu os dez mandamentos em tábuas de pedra com o próprio dedo. Ele disse que era perfeito e que nada poderia ser acrescentado ou tirado dele.
