666. Apocalipsis I-XIII

Autor: Ángel Mirete Pina

Número de Páginas: 384

No hay libro en la literatura universal que haya causado tanta fascinación como el Apocalipsis de san Juan, del que san Jerónimo decía que contiene tot sacramenta quot verba, tantos misterios como palabras. Atraído por ella, el autor de este comentario ha leído y meditado sus capítulos y versículos, y lo primero que le ha llamado la atención ha sido que, cuando parecía haber finalizado la revelación con los cuatro Evangelios, los Hechos de los Apóstoles y las cartas apostólicas, aparezca, a más de sesenta años de la muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo, un libro que pretende ser, y así se titula, Revelación. Y su primera pregunta es: ¿POR QUÉ EL APOCALIPSIS?, a la que trata de responder examinando las razones históricas que movieron al Señor a completar las Sagradas Escrituras a finales del siglo I, en el reinado del emperador Domiciano. Y habiéndonos asegurado san Pablo que «toda escritura es inspirada por Dios y es útil para enseñar, para argüir, para corregir y para educar en la justicia; así el hombre se encuentra perfecto y preparado para toda obra buena» (2 Tm 3, 16-17), la siguiente pregunta es: ¿NOS DICE ALGO HOY? Lo verdaderamente original del...

Los orígenes de la Nueva Era

Autor: César Vidal

Número de Páginas: 192

César Vidal desenmascara las doctrinas ocultas del movimiento de laNueva Era en esta obra bien documentada. La Nueva Era no es un movimiento aparecido de la nada en elsiglo veinte. Su ideología y práctica se originan en la Gnosis. Durante el sigloprimero A.D. se asistió a unvigoroso crecimiento de esta filosofía que manifestaba la pretensiónde guardar en su seno el mensaje auténtico de Jesús. Frente a él se alzó unconjunto de personajes que veían a la Gnosis como una perversión del mensajecristiano y a su "Cristo" como "otro Cristo", radicalmentedistinto del histórico. Para ellos, la Gnosis era un enemigo peligroso quedebía ser abatido. Partiendo de los documentos históricos, Los orígenes de la Nueva Era relata lapugna colosal en la que se enfrentaron dos cosmovisiones diametralmente opuestas,la neotestamentaria y la gnóstica.Las consecuencias de esta pugna resultan visibles, incluso en nuestros días, enel desarrollo e ideología de la Nueva Era.

La religión gnóstica

Autor: Hans Jonas

Número de Páginas: 428

La religión gnóstica, obra fundamental del profesor Hans Jonas, una de las máximas autoridades en este tema, es un completo estudio de las ideas heréticas del gnosticismo, de su literatura, su lenguaje simbólico y sus principales dogmas, que, como sugiere en el último capítulo de este libro, comparten muchos puntos de encuentro con el existencialismo y nihilismo de la modernidad.

Gloria 1: La percepción de la forma

Autor: Hans Urs Von Balthasar

Número de Páginas: 624

«El propósito de la presente obra es desarrollar la teología cristiana a la luz del tercer trascendental, es decir, completar la visión del verum y del bonum mediante la del pulchrum. Mostraremos hasta qué punto el abandono progresivo de esta perspectiva (que tan profundamente configuró en otras épocas a la teología) ha empobrecido al pensamiento cristiano. Por consiguiente, no se trata de abrir para la teología un cauce secundario y más o menos experimental, impulsados tan solo por una vaga yu nostálgica melancolía, sino más bien de retrotraerla a su cauce principal, del que, en gran parte, se había desviado».

Magic, Power, Language, Symbol

Autor: Patrick Dunn

Número de Páginas: 289

All forms of magic are linked to language. As a magic practitioner and a linguist, Patrick Dunn illuminates this fascinating relationship and offers breakthrough theories on how and why magic works. Drawing on linguistics and semiotics (the study of symbols), Dunn illuminates the magical use of language, both theoretically and practically. He poses new theories on the mechanics of magic by analyzing the structure of ritual, written signs and sigils, primal language, incantations across cultures, Qabalah and gematria (Hebrew numerology), and the Enochian vocabulary. This revolutionary paradigm can help magicians understand how sigils and talismans work, compose Enochian spells, speak in tongues for magic, create mantras, work with gematria, use postmodern "defixios," and refine their practice in countless other ways. ""Magic, Power, Language, Symbol" is a unique tour de force that reinterprets the very nature of magic—placing it within the modern sciences of symbolism (semiotics) and language (linguistics). Within this paradigm, Dunn explains something that most other books miss: a logical and scientific understanding of how and why real magic actually works." —Donald Michael...

Los Evangelios Gnósticos

Autor: César Vidal

Número de Páginas: 180

A finales de 1945, cerca de la aldea de Nag Hammadi, a unos cien kilómetros de Luxor, unos beduinos encontraron accidentalmente una vasija con antiguos códices, muchos de los cuales resultaron ser Evangelios desconocidos hasta entonces, junto a otros importantes textos pertenecientes a los primeros tiempos del cristianismo y, todos ellos, con un fuerte contenido gnóstico. Tiempo después, estos documentos, conocidos actualmente como la Biblioteca de Nag Hammadi, son considerados como una de las fuentes más importantes de información sobre el cristianismo primitivo y sobre la figura y enseñanzas de Jesús. En esta obra, César Vidal nos ofrece primero una mgnífica introducción donde, de un modo didáctico y preciso, esclarece el tema del gnosticismo y luego traduce los Evangelios más importantes de los códices de Nag Hammadi como El Evangelio de tomás, El Evangelio de los Egipcios, El Evangelio de la Verdad, El Evangelio de María y El Evangelio de Felipe. Un libro imprescindible, pues su lectura, de la mano de una autoridad como César vidal, le mostrará aspectos del cristianismo tan desconocidos como sorprendentes.

Ferdinand Christian Baur and the History of Early Christianity

Autor: Martin Bauspiess , Christof Landmesser , David Lincicum

Número de Páginas: 385

Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792-1860) has been described as "the greatest and at the same time the most controversial theologian in German Protestant theology since Schleiermacher." The controversy was epitomized by a nineteenth-century British critic who wrote that his theory "makes of Christianity a thing of purely natural origin, calls in question the authenticity of all but a few of the New Testament books, and makes the whole collection contain not a harmonious system of divine truth, but a confused mass of merely human and contradictory opinions as to the nature of the Christian religion." The contributors to this volume, however, regard Baur as an epoch-making New Testament scholar whose methods and conclusions, though superseded, have been mostly affirmed during the century and a half since his death. This collection focuses on the history of early Christianity, although as a historian of the church and theology Baur covered the entire field up to own time. He combined the most exacting historical research with a theological interpretation of history influenced by Kant, Schelling, and Hegel. The first three chapters discuss Baur's relation to Strauss, Möhler, and Hegel....

Tantric Buddhist Practice in India

Autor: Anthony Tribe

Número de Páginas: 453

Using a commentary on the influential text, the Mañjuśrī-nāmasaṃgīti, ‘The Chanting of the Names of Mañjuśrī’, this book deals with Buddhist tantric meditation practice and its doctrinal context in early-medieval India. The commentary was written by the 8th-9th century Indian tantric scholar Vilāsavajra, and the book contains a translation of the first five chapters. The translation is extensively annotated, and accompanied by introductions as well as a critical edition of the Sanskrit text based on eight Sanskrit manuscripts and two blockprint editions of the commentary’s Tibetan translation. The commentary interprets its root text within an elaborate framework of tantric visualisation and meditation that is based on an expanded form of the Buddhist Yoga Tantra mandala, the Vajradhātu-maṇḍala. At its heart is the figure of Mañjuśrī, no longer the familiar bodhisattva of wisdom, but now the embodiment of the awakened non-dual gnosis that underlies all Buddhas as well their activity in the cosmos. The book contributes to our understanding of the history of Indian tantric Buddhism in a period of significant change and innovation. With its extensively...

Un extraño en nuestra casa

Autor: Lluís Duch Álvarez

Número de Páginas: 667

En este nuevo libro, Lluís Duch analiza la crisis de las iglesias cristianas (del cristianismo europeo) en la actualidad. Su tesis de partida plantea que lo que realmente está hoy en crisis es la imagen del Dios cristiano. Sus argumentos no son teológicos en el sentido clásico, ya que no habla de Dios, sino de la manera en que los hombres hablan de Dios, situando así, en el terreno siempre original de su antropología, una serie de cuestiones a las que la teología convencional no podría quizás dar respuestas. La idea de Dios se nos ha hecho extraña, pues no ha sabido integrar todos los cambios, vertiginosos y desconcertantes, que ha experimentado nuestro mundo a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y de la irrupción del mal radical en nuestra historia colectiva a partir de Auschwitz. La perenne actualidad de Dios -dice Duch- exige la perenne actualidad de sus imágenes . Su crítica cobra aún más fuerza pues la hace desde dentro de la Iglesia cristiana actual, con un discurso que es fuente de creatividad y de renovación, y que puede proporcionar efectivamente nuevos argumentos y nuevas respuestas para reinventar al Dios cristiano.

The Voudon Gnostic Workbook

Autor: Michael Bertiaux

Número de Páginas: 654

A long-awaited new edition of the seminal text on the spiritual system that is a convergence of Gnosticism and Haitian voodoo, The Voudon Gnostic Workbook is a singular sacred work that is comprehensive in scope -- from "how to be a lucky Hoodoo" to how magick and voodoo intersect energetically, to esoteric time travel. Complete with charts and graphs and instructive interdimensional physics, The Voudon Gnostic Workbook is an "object of desire" among students of the occult. Weiser's long-anticipated republication of this rare text will be an event in the annals of esoteric publishing, as the book itself is somewhat of an "unholy grail." There are listservers devoted to it and much discussion of the mysteries held within its pages. While The Voudon Gnostic Workbook has remained a controversial book considered important for masters of metaphysics, it recently came into popular culture and renewed popularity when Grant Morrison revealed it had been the inspiration for his cult comics The Invisibles, using the cribbed time travel from Bertiaux' s masterwork. Voodoo is not an evil religion and is much misunderstood. It derives from the Dahomean Gods called the "Loa." Esoteric voodoo is ...

Christianity and the Christian Church of the First Three Centuries

Autor: Ferdinand Christian Baur

Número de Páginas: 480

Christianity and the Christian Church of the First Three Centuries is the first volume in Baur’s five-volume history of the Christian Church. It and the last volume, Church and Theology in the Nineteenth Century, are being published in new translations. This book, based on the second German edition of 1860, is the most influential and best known of Baur’s many groundbreaking publications in New Testament, early Christianity, church history, and historical theology. It is divided into six main parts and discusses such matters as the entrance of Christianity into world history, the teaching and person of Jesus, the tension between Jewish Christian and Gentile Christian (Pauline) interpretations and their resolution in the idea of the Catholic Church, the opposition of gnosticism and Montanism to Catholicism, the development of dogma or doctrine in the first three centuries, Christianity’s relation to the pagan world and the Roman state, and Christianity as a moral and religious principle.

T&T Clark Encyclopedia of Second Temple Judaism Volume Two

Autor: Loren T. Stuckenbruck , Daniel M. Gurtner

Número de Páginas: 821

The T&T Clark Encyclopedia of Second Temple Judaism provides a comprehensive reference resource of over 600 scholarly articles aimed at scholars and students interested in Judaism of the Second Temple Period. The two-volume work is split into four parts. Part One offers a prolegomenon for the contemporary study and appreciation of Second Temple Judaism, locating the discipline in relation to other relevant fields (such as Hebrew Bible, Rabbinics, Christian Origins). Beginning with a discussion of terminology, the discussion suggests ways the Second Temple period may be described, and concludes by noting areas of study that challenge our perception of ancient Judaism. Part Two presents an overview of respective contexts of the discipline set within the broad framework of historical chronology corresponding to a set of full-colour, custom-designed maps. With distinct attention to primary sources, the author traces the development of historical, social, political, and religious developments from the time period following the exile in the late 6th century B.C.E. through to the end of the Bar Kokhba revolt (135 C.E.). Part Three focuses specifically on a wide selection of...

The Jewish Bible and the Christian Bible

Autor: Julio Trebolle Barrera

Número de Páginas: 575

This wide-ranging handbook presents an overview of our current knowledge on the history of the Bible. Divided into three parts, it shows how the collections of canonical and apocryphal books were formed, explains the transmission and translation of the Biblical texts and describes biblical interpretation in Judaism and Christianity. Incorporating the immense amount of information that has become available since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the author sets out to bridge the gaps between widely different areas and trends in the field of Biblical Studies: canonical and apocryphal literature, written and oral traditions, rabbinic and Christian exegesis and modern critical exegesis, and literal and allegorical interpretation, among others. Uniquely, Trebolle Barrera also looks at the Wirkungsgeschichte of the Bible in relation to the Greek and Roman world, the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Scholars, students and interested lay persons alike will benefit from the wealth of general information found here as well as detailed discussion on many topics currently under debate, from the significance of Qumran to the influence of the Semitic and Greek world on Christianity.

The Routledge Companion to Early Christian Thought

Autor: D. Jeffrey Bingham

Número de Páginas: 360

The shape and course which Christian thought has taken over its history is largely due to the contributions of individuals and communities in the second and third centuries. Bringing together a remarkable team of distinguished scholars, The Routledge Companion to Early Christian Thought is the ideal companion for those seeking to understand the way in which Early Christian thought developed within its broader cultural milieu and was communicated through its literature, especially as it was directed toward theological concerns. Divided into three parts, the Companion: asks how Christianity's development was impacted by its interaction with cultural, philosophical, and religious elements within the broader context of the second and third centuries. examines the way in which Early Christian thought was manifest in key individuals and literature in these centuries. analyses Early Christian thought as it was directed toward theological concerns such as God, Christ, Redemption, Scripture, and the community and its worship.

The Profound Reality of Interdependence

Autor: Künzang Sönam

Número de Páginas: 329

The Way of the Bodhisattva, composed by the monk and scholar 'S=antideva in eighth-century India, is a Buddhist treatise in verse that beautifully and succinctly lays out the theory and practice of the Mahayana path of a bodhisattva. Over one thousand years after 'S=antideva's composition, Künzang Sönam (1823-1905) produced the most extensive commentary on the Way of the Bodhisattva ever written. This book is the first English translation of Künzang Sönam's overview of 'S=antideva's notoriously difficult ninth chapter on wisdom. The ninth chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva is philosophically very rich but forbiddingly technical, and can only be read well with a good commentary. Künzang Sönam's commentary offers a unique and complete introduction to the view of Pr=asa:ngika-Madhyamaka, the summit of Buddhist philosophy in Tibet, as articulated by Tsongkhapa. It brings 'S=antideva's text, and Tsongkhapa's interpretation of Pr=asa:ngika-Madhyamaka, into conversation with a vast Buddhist literature from India and Tibet. By articulating the integral relationship between emptiness and interdependence, this text formulates a sustained and powerful argument for emptiness as a...

Contra Mundum

Autor: Adam Weishaupt

Número de Páginas: 1207

"I'm plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie." – Dr Stockmann (in Henrik Ibsen's play An Enemy of the People) Contra Mundum is a handbook for all those who think there is something fundamentally wrong with the world. The ancient Gnostics claimed that the world was actually created and ruled by the Devil (the Demiurge), hence why everything is so hideous, unfair and horrific. Modern Gnostics (Illuminists) assert that the problem with the world is that it's ruled by the forces of unreason rather than reason, by Mythos rather than Logos, by silly story-based religions rather than mathematics, philosophy and science.

La Religión Prohibida

Autor: José M. Herrou Aragón

Número de Páginas: 103

Gnosis significa conocimiento. Pero no nos referimos a un conocimiento cualquiera. La Gnosis es un conocimiento que produce una inmensa transformación en quién lo recibe. Un conocimiento capaz, nada menos, de despertar a los hombres y ayudarlos a escapar de la prisión en que se encuentran. Por eso la gnosis ha sido tan perseguida a lo largo de la historia, porque es un conocimiento considerado peligroso por los poderes religiosos y políticos que rigen desde las sombras a la humanidad. Cada vez que esta religión, absolutamente diferente de todas las demás, aparece ante los hombres, las demás religiones se unen para tratar de destruirla o volver a ocultarla. La Gnosis Primordial es la Gnosis originaria, la Gnosis verdadera, la Gnosis eterna, el saber gnóstico en su forma pura. A causa de las múltiples persecuciones, la Gnosis Primordial ha sido fragmentada, tergiversada y ocultada....

El mito del hombre nuevo

Autor: Dalmacio Negro Pavón

Número de Páginas: 442

Dalmacio Negro, uno de los intelectuales más originales y profundos de la filosofía política en español, nos ofrece en El mito del hombre nuevo un cuidadoso examen de los principales antecedentes, concepciones y tendencias relacionados con la utopía del hombre nuevo. En este mito, íntimamente dependiente de la religión secular, el autor identifica uno de los dogmas fundamentales que han configurado la mentalidad de nuestro tiempo, desde el siglo XIX hasta el XXI, y trata de sacar a la luz sus principales rasgos y conexiones. Los conceptos que caracterizan la mentalidad moderna (humanismo, calvinismo, racionalismo, cientificismo, igualitarismo, ambientalismo, laicismo, nihilismo...), así como los autores que los han desarrollado, van quedando iluminados a lo largo de este análisis, cuya lectura permite sin duda comprender mejor nuestro tiempo y nuestra cultura, y con ello abrir nuevas perspectivas.

La predicación de la fe cristiana en medios pertenecientes a la cultura helenística imprimió a la reflexión teológica un nuevo sesgo, en elq ue cobraba protagonismo el interés por las grandes cuestiones intelectuales simpre presentes en el espíritu humano. En esta obra, Daniélou examina en qué medida la teología griega de los siglos II y III adoptó fórmulas tomadas del platonismo medio y del gnosticismo valentiniano y en qué medida rechazó los postulados de estas filosofías. Desde esta perspectiva, el autor recorre la obra de san Justino, san Ireneo, Clemente de Alejandría y Orígenes, elaborando un estudio que ha venido a convertirse en referencia imprescindible para el conocimiento de la época.

Western Esotericism and the Science of Religion

Autor: International Association For The History Of Religions. Congress , International Association For The History Of Religions

Número de Páginas: 330

This volume is based upon papers read during the innovative section "Western Esotericism and the Science of Religion" organized at the 17th International Congress of the International Association for the History of Religions (IAHR) in Mexico City, August 5-12, 1995. The section was created in order to fill a long-standing hiatus in the academic study of religions: whereas phenomena such as gnosticism and hermetism in antiquity, and even the occult sciences of that period, have long been recognized as subjects worthy of serious investigation, the history of similar and related phenomena in more recent periods has hardly received the same measure of scholarly attention and recognition. The present volume is devoted to the academic emancipation of these areas as constituting a legitimate domain of research, which may be referred to by the generic label "western esotericism". Preceded by an introductory essay on the birth of this new discipline in the study of religion, the volume provides a sample of current research in the field and devotes special attention to some central methodological questions.
