EL COMENTARIO DE APOCALIPSIS MÁS IMPORTANTE DE LAS ÚLTIMAS DÉCADAS El monumental volumen sobre el Apocalipsis ha sido altamente elogiado desde su publicación. Este comentario destila el excelente análisis gramatical y la exégesis de esa obra en un libro más accesible y pertinente para predicadores, estudiantes y lectores cristianos en general.Beale ve el Apocalipsis como un todo integrado, como una continuación consciente de los libros proféticos del Antiguo Testamento, y muestra que reconocer el uso casi constante de alusiones al Antiguo Testamento en el Apocalipsis es clave para comprender su significado. Intercalados en todo el volumen se encuentran más de sesenta conjuntos de Sugerencias para la Reflexión para ayudar a los lectores a comprender mejor la relevancia del Apocalipsis para sus vidas y nuestro mundo actual.>"Este comentario empequeñece a la mayoría de los demás, no tanto en tamaño como en sustancia. La "visión idealista ecléctica, redentora e histórica" de Beale abre el flujo literario, la lógica espiritual y el mensaje escatológico del Apocalipsis. Por fin un comentario que explica realmente el Apocalipsis en lugar de complicar su complejidad."Robert W. Yarbrough "Nadie puede permitirse predicar, enseñar o escribir sobre el Apocalipsis sin leer a Beale."Thomas R. Schreiner Sobre el autor: G. K. Beale es catedrático de Nuevo Testamento J. Gresham Machen y profesor de Nuevo Testamento y Teología Bíblica en el Seminario Teológico Westminster. Beale es una autoridad líder en el uso que hace el Nuevo Testamento del Antiguo, y su trabajo académico sobre el uso de la Biblia hebrea en el Apocalipsis brilla aquí. Este comentario es quizá la herramienta más importante para el estudio de la escatología bíblica disponible en español.

Se avete voglia e coraggio di "avere dei dubbi", di mettere da parte alcuni aspetti di noi che consideriamo scontati allora potete intraprendere questa breve "passeggiata", a volte seria e un po' faticosa e altre volte ironica e leggera. Vagherete all'interno delle vostre convinzioni per scoprire che forse tutte così scontate non sono. Magari vi stupirete vedendo che possono essere osservate da un punto di vista diverso da quello che avete sempre avuto.Chissà da quando l'uomo, quello che definiamo "sapiens" e che viveva da nomade "nelle caverne", si pone le domande esistenziali più ancestrali e primordiali.Chi siamo? Da dove veniamo? Come funzioniamo? Qual è il senso di tutto?Questo libro non dà risposte a queste domande anche perché forse queste risposte non ci sono, ma vi spronerà a riflettere, anche in modo divertente, sulla scienza, la politica, la filosofia e la religione. Forse come già facevano gli uomini primitivi ma con qualche spunto in più.

En este libro, el lector encontrará doce relatos que se desarrollan en entornos diferentes de México, en situaciones extremas relacionadas con la injusticia, la desigualdad social y el drama personal de distintos personajes, quienes nos llevan a pensar que, muchas veces, la vida no es fácil ni justa, pero siempre vale la pena vivirla. A través de la escritura, la autora se ha robado fragmentos de vida de personas especiales; con algunas convivió años, mientras que con otras sólo unos minutos, pero influyeron en ella, como huellas en la arena. Así nació Piezas de vida.
