Mesí as desde la primera palabra hebrea de la Biblia, hasta llegar al ú ltimo capí tulo de Malaquí as. Al té rmino del añ o, habrá s entrado al Antiguo Testamento por 365 nuevas puertas, habrá s visto antiguos versos con nuevos ojos, y habrá s trazado una red de conexiones por toda la Escritura que nunca antes habí as advertido. Comenzará s a ver a lo que se referí a una persona cuando describió las palabras hebreas como « guiones entre el cielo y la tierra» .Leer la Biblia en una traducció n puede ser como « besar a la novia por sobre el velo» . Cada uno de estos 365 devocionales está elaborado con el fin de levantar ese velo muy ligeramente, tocar piel con piel, por así decirlo, con el idioma original. No es necesario saber nada de hebreo para beneficiarse de estas meditaciones. No está n escritas para enseñ arte el idioma de Abraham, Moisé s e Isaí as, sino para darte una muestra de sus ideas, exponerte a su elocuencia, reí r con ellos en sus ingeniosos juegos de palabras, para desespañ olizar sus modismos, y, lo que es má s importante, para seguir sus trayectorias hasta la predicació n del Mesí as y los escritos de sus evangelistas y apó stoles.By Gary Holloway. 2024
The spirituality of Genesis centers on God as Creator and God as a Faithful Partner.“In the beginning, God . .…
.” The Lord makes all things. He is therefore the God of all power and wisdom. What’s more, he creates everything good. Very good. And when they go bad, he still works his good will. Things are not the way they were supposed to be. Genesis begins the story of a God who is working to make things right.When humans abandon their proper place and rebel against the Lord, he punishes them as any loving father would. But he does not abandon humanity or the rest of his creation. Genesis tells the story of how God works in surprising ways through human choices, good and bad, to reclaim and restore his creation.Genesis tells of a faithful God. And the Lord in turn expects his people to be faithful. That means trusting him, especially when his ways do not make sense. Abraham is willing to sacrifice his own son. Joseph trusts even when he is a slave and a prisoner. As we meditate on these stories of those who trusted, followed, and wrestled with God, let us open ourselves to his Spirit. Let us trust his inscrutable ways. Let us believe God so he might, through his covenant of love, count us as righteous.By Timothy Keller. 2024

Mostly written between 1070 and 1080, before he became Archbishop of Canterbury, the prayers and meditations of Anselm of Aosta…
created a tradition of intimate, intensely personal devotional works written in subtle and theologically daring prose. While the Prayer to God is based on the Lord's Prayer, the Prayer to Christ is inspired by ardent private emotion and other prayers invest saints with individual attributes, with John the Baptist as the friend, Peter as the shepherd and Mary Magdalene as the forgiving lover, among many others. The meditations include a searching exploration of the state of the soul and a lament on the loss of purity, and the Proslogion discusses the mysteries of faith. With their bright imagery, beautiful language and highly original thought, the works of Anselm have secured a lasting place in both religious and secular literature.By Grayson Perry. 2018

her gentle sister Jenny, left his brutal house forever. For this was the Jazz Age - and Kate and Jenny revelled in their freedom and in dancing until dawn, until romance changed the tempo of their lives. For Kate, it was Charlie, a man as strong and warm-hearted as herself. For Jenny, it was Nils, the Norwegian navigator, who shared a brief, bittersweet affair with her before tragically disappearing from her life. And while Kate and Charlie together face the bad times that are coming, Jenny looks set to repeat the tragic pattern of her mother's life.
