Fruit of the Orchard: Reading Catherine of Siena in Late Medieval and Early Modern England
by Jennifer N. BrownFruit of the Orchard sheds light on how Catherine of Siena served as a visible and widespread representative of English piety becoming a part of the devotional landscape of the period. By analyzing a variety of texts, including monastic and lay, complete and excerpted, shared and private, author Jennifer N. Brown considers how the visionary prophet and author was used to demonstrate orthodoxy, subversion, and heresy. Tracing the book tradition of Catherine of Siena, as well as investigating the circulation of manuscripts, Brown explores how the various perceptions of the Italian saint were reshaped and understood by an English readership. By examining the practice of devotional reading, she reveals how this sacred exercise changed through a period of increased literacy, the rise of the printing press, and religious turmoil.

Fruits of the Cross: Passiontide Music Theater in Habsburg Vienna
by Robert L. KendrickIn this first detailed study of seventeenth-century sepolcri—sacred operas written for court performance on Holy Thursday and Good Friday—Robert L. Kendrick delves into the political and artistic world of Habsburg Vienna, in which music and ritual combined on the stage to produce a thoroughly original art form based on devotion to Christ’s Tomb. Through the use of allegorical characters, the musical dramas ranged from the devotionally intense, to the theologically complex, to the ugly anti-Jewish, but played a unique role in making Passion piety relevant to wider cultural concerns. Fruits of the Cross suggests that understanding the sepolcri has implications for the theatricalization of devotion, the power of allegory, the role of queenship in court ideology, the interplay between visuality and music, and not least the intellectual centrality of music theater to court self-understanding.

Fuego extraño
by John MacarthurEl Dr. John MacArthur enseña sobre el Espíritu Santo y muestra algunas acciones del movimiento carismático que deshonran a Dios.Cuando Nadab y Abiú ofrecieron un "extraño fuego" al Señor (Levítico 10.1-3), cuando los fariseos le atribuyeron la obra del Espíritu a Satanás (Mateo 12.22-37) y cuando Ananías y Safira mintieron al Espíritu Santo (Hechos de los Apóstoles 5.1-6), cada una de estas acciones constituyó una ofensa que produjo graves consecuencias, incluso la muerte. La Biblia es clara en que ofender al Espíritu Santo no es una cosa ligera. Sin embargo, miles de personas lo hacen todos los días. El movimiento carismático, con más de quinientos millones de miembros en todo el mundo, es el movimiento religioso de más rápido crecimiento a nivel mundial. Atrevidamente llena el nombre del Espíritu Santo con adoraciones que no van de la mano con la Biblia como ladridos, saltos, risas a carcajadas, estados de trance, revelaciones sin base en la Escrituras, formas de hablar incomprensibles, profecías erráticas y sanaciones sin efecto. Para las multitudes desorientadas, estas son obras del Espíritu Santo, pero en realidad no son obra de Dios en lo absoluto. Fuego extraño ofrece un mensaje bíblico para corregir lo que ha estado errado, ayudar a los creyentes a distinguir la adoración verdadera y liberar a aquellos que se han dejado llevar por una falsa adoración. A través de una profunda exégesis, un planteamiento del contexto histórico del movimiento carismático y una guía pastoral, este libro reivindica el verdadero poder y el significado del Espíritu Santo para los evangélicos y reprueba a quienes dentro del movimiento carismático tientan la ira de Dios con fuego extraño.Dr. John MacArthur teaches about the Holy Spirit and reveals how some parts of the Charismatic movement dishonor God.When Nadab and Abihu offered a "strange fire" to the Lord (Leviticus 10:1-3), when the Pharisees attributed the Spirit's work to Satan (Matthew 12:22-37), and when Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:1-6), each was an affront that brought severe consequences even unto death. The Bible is clear that affronting the Holy Spirit is no laughing matter. Yet millions do it every day.The Charismatic movement, with more than half a billion members worldwide, is the fastest growing religious movement in the world. It boldly plasters the Holy Spirit's name on unbiblical worship like barking, jumping, laughing, trance-like states, extra biblical revelation, incomprehensible speech, inaccurate prophecies, and ineffective healings. To the misguided many, these are the works of the Holy Spirit, but they are not from God at all.Fuego extraño offers a biblical message to make right what has been wrong, help believers discern true worship, and free those who have been swept up in false worship. With thorough exegesis, historical context of the Charismatic movement, and pastoral guidance, this book reclaims the true power and import of the Holy Spirit for evangelicals and rebuffs those in the Charismatic movement who tempt God's wrath with strange fire.

Fuegos enciende, polvos levanta: Magia popular para la bruja tradicional
by Solitude of AlannaUna guía práctica de magia popular para la bruja tradicional La hechicería popular es el conjunto de prácticas mágicas comunes de un pueblo. Prácticas que, desde tiempos lejanos, han conectado a nuestros antepasados con la naturaleza de su entorno, con sus ancestros y con las fuerzas que movían su mundo. Los tiempos cambian, pero hay cosas que siempre permanecerán inmutables, puesto que son parte de la propia naturaleza humana, de la existencia y de la Otredad. Aunque sea llevada a cabo por nuevas manos, la hechicería popular conforma nuestra identidad cultural, nuestra historia y nuestro patrimonio espiritual, religioso y mágico. Retomar sus prácticas nos devuelve esa conexión con nuestros antepasados y nuestro territorio. Además, la magia popular nos hace ver que no es necesario nada exclusivo, caro o alejado de nuestra cotidianidad para una práctica profundamente significativa. Una que entienda el pasado y aprenda de él para dar sentido al presente. Una manera consciente de utilizar la sabiduría, las herramientas y los recursos de lo tradicional para nuestra práctica personal, adaptada a nuestros tiempos y necesidades propias. Sin embargo, has de saber que esta no es una obra para aquellos que temen indagar en las sombras o transgredir el tabú. La hechicería popular no es inocente ni aséptica; es sucia y astuta, venenosa, insolente y oportunista. Es sangre, hueso y tierra, sexo, espinas clavadas y palabras susurradas en la noche más profunda. Solo abrazando la naturaleza liminal de la hechicería popular podremos desentrañar sus más oscuros maleficios, pero también llegar a abrazar su más sublime luz. Un nuevo libro de Natalia Saldaña, Solitude of Alanna en redes, referente en espiritualidad, brujería y territorio que ya ha conquistado a miles de lectores con En mi bosque interior y Hacia lo salvaje.
Fuerza para vencer
by Alejandro BullónEste libro fue escrito para ti, mi querido joven. Fue escrito con algo más que tinta, con amor. Mi ministerio se desarrolló durante años al lado de los jóvenes, conversando con ellos en los más diversos lugares, en campamentos, cerca del lugar de la fogata, debajo de los árboles, en el campo de deportes, en la iglesia, en la oficina, por la mañana, a la tarde, y a la noche. Años y años en que oí las alegrías y tristezas, las victorias y derrotas de los jóvenes, me impulsaron a escribir estas páginas. A través de estas líneas y desde el fondo de mi ser, quiero ayudarte a conocer mejor y a tomarte de la mano de esa persona maravillosa que llenará tu vida de paz y de felicidad. Porque, al final de cuentas, conocer a Jesús es todo.
