Como Leer Eclesiastes – (Spanish)
$14.99No hay una respuesta fácil al significado de la vida, incluso cuando crees en Dios.El libro de Eclesiastés busca responder a la pregunta: ¿Qué ganancia tienen los hombres de todo su trabajo con el que se afanan bajo el sol? El personaje central del libro es Qohelet, quien quiere entender el significado de la vida tanto como sea posible con las herramientas de su propia observación empírica y razón. Lucha por reconciliar el hermoso mundo que amamos y disfrutamos con el desconcertante mundo de injusticia, sufrimiento y muerte. Qohelet gira alrededor de un abismo de nihilismo y pesimismo. Vive con preguntas sin respuesta. Sin embargo, sigue siendo un creyente.El erudito del Antiguo Testamento, Christopher J. H. Wright, te invita a unirte a Qohelet en un viaje a través de la literatura de sabiduría de hace siglos, porque el mensaje de Eclesiastés puede ser extrañamente reconfortante mientras ponemos nuestra fe a prueba en la era posmoderna de hoy. Habrá giros desorientadores y vueltas y el ocasional callejón sin salida mientras se discuten temas complejos, como:El significado de la vidaMisterios del tiempo y la injusticiaAmbigüedades del trabajo, la política, la adoración y la riquezaCómo leer Eclesiastés no responderá tus preguntas sobre el significado de la vida, pero en última instancia te ayudará a vivir en la tensión de los regalos de Dios en Génesis 1-2 y el mundo caído de Génesis 3, y aún así seguir confiando en la bondad soberana de Dios.How to Read EcclesiastesThere is no easy answer to the meaning of life–even when you believe in God.The book of Ecclesiastes seeks to answer the question: What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? The book’s central character is Qoheleth, who wants to understand the meaning of life as far as he possibly can with the tools of his own empirical observation and reason. He struggles to reconcile the beautiful world that we love and enjoy with the baffling world of injustice, suffering, and death. Qoheleth circles around an abyss of nihilism and pessimism. He lives with unanswered questions. Yet he remains a believer.Old Testament scholar Christopher J. EH.

Hearing The Message Of Habakkuk
$18.99What does it mean to be faithful disciples in a violent and unjust world?
Habakkuk described an era of rampant moral and social evil among his own people, and a vision of the rapid rise of the Babylonian empire under Nebuchadnezzar. The world he described is familiar in so many eras of human history, including our own. The frightening international tensions, confusion about political alignments and alliances, fractured moral and religious traditions, and social dissolution and degradation cause the same fear and anxiety today as they did back then.
Confusing is a mild world for it–international, political, religious, moral confusion. It was (and still is) a world of national wickedness and international turmoil and violence, a world in which God appears to be asleep on his watch and yet claims to be “working a work” in Habakkuk’s day and ours.
Hearing the Message of Habakkuk walks through the questions the prophet asked God about injustice and the jaw-dropping answers he received. This popular-level exposition addresses:
*God’s silence.
*God’s sovereignty.
*Living by faith.
*God’s judgement.
*Trusting God’s Word.What we learn from Habakkuk’s dialogue with God can help us today as we struggle to work out what it means to believe in God’s sovereignty, justice, and love, and to live as faithful disciples in an unjust world.

Knowing Jesus Through The Old Testament
$25.99We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? Should we listen to other gospels, other sayings of Jesus, that enlarge and correct a mistaken story? Is the real Jesus entangled in a web of the church’s Scripture, awaiting liberation from our childhood faith so he might speak to our contemporary pluralistic world? To answer these questions we need to know what story Jesus claimed for himself. Christopher Wright is convinced that Jesus’ own story is rooted in the story of Israel. In this book he traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. And he describes God’s design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus.
