La revolución de las letras rojas: ¿Y si Jesús realmente quiso decir lo que dijo?
by Shane ClaibornePara todos los cristianos que se hallan en conflicto entre las palabras de Jesús y la realidad de sus propias vidas, y para todos los no cristianos que sienten que muy ocasionalmente se ven los mandamientos de Jesús reflejados en las elecciones que hacen sus seguidores, La revolución de las letras rojas constituirá una guía para un nuevo tipo de cristiandad, conscientemente centrado en las palabras de Jesús que aparecen en las «letras rojas» de la Biblia. Estructurado como un diálogo cautivante entre Shane Caiborne (un evangélico joven y progresista) y Tony Campolo (pastor experimentado y profesor de sociología), La revolución de las letras rojas constituye un manifiesto que cambiará la vida tanto de los escépticos como de los cristianos. Es un llamado a un estilo de vida que tiene en cuenta antes que nada, y por encima de todo, el mensaje explícito y liberador de Jesús referido como el amor sacrificial. Shane y Tony con total franqueza relacionan las palabras de Jesús con cuestiones contemporáneas como la violencia, la comunidad, el islam, el infierno, la sexualidad, la desobediencia civil y otros veinte tópicos más que resultan cruciales para las personas de fe que tienen conciencia hoy. Los diálogos resultantes revelan una sorprendente verdad: que los cristianos que se dejan guiar de manera inequívoca por las palabras de Jesús, con frecuencia llegan a conclusiones completamente opuestas a las de aquellos que forman la corriente principal del cristianismo evangélico. Si el Jesús que te habla a través de los evangelios no concuerda con la cultura cristiana que conoces, si alguna vez has deseado ponerte de pie y decir: «Te amo, Jesús, pero yo no soy así»,La revolución de las letras rojas te mostrará que no estás solo, y que puedes ser un cristiano de las «letras rojas» todo el tiempo. «Este libro, escrito por un cristiano de edad madura y otro joven, nos ayudará a definir la manera en que los cristianos podríamos cambiar el mundo si tomáramos literalmente y con seriedad las palabras de Jesús "escritas en rojo"». --Presidente Jimmy Carter «En La revolución de las letras rojas, a la verdad sin concesiones de las enseñanzas de Jesús le aportan su voz dos líderes cristianos de los tiempos modernos, que van más allá de predicar esas buenas nuevas. Ellos viven lo que predican y abren camino». --Arzobispo Desmond Tutu «Comencé a leer este libro y no pude parar... Gracias, Tony y Shane. Gracias por este libro. Que este movimiento se extienda por todo el mundo». --Albuna Elias Chacour, Obispo de la Iglesia Católica Melquita de Galilea «La revolución de las letras rojas es un coloquio con un sabor profético que hace que se eleve la adrenalina». --Eugene H. Peterson, autor de la Biblia The Message «No puedo enfatizar por demás ni exagerar en cuanto a la riqueza de este libro». --Phyllis Tickle, autora deEmergence Christianity «En este libro, valiente y bien escrito, tenemos un retorno al mensaje central del evangelio por parte de dos cristianos que primero intentaron vivirlo ellos mismos, y recién entonces hablaron». --Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Centro para la Acción y Contemplación «Shane Claiborne y Tony Campolo son dos de las voces proféticas más significativas del mundo cristiano».--Rabino Michael Lerner, editor de la revista Tikkun Magazine(tikkun.org) «Si alguna vez has anhelado escuchar a hurtadillas una conversación entre dos de los cristianos más interesantes e inspiradores del mundo, solo tienes que ir a la página uno». --Brian C. Mclaren, autor y orador (brianmclaren.net)

Revolution: An Urgent Call to a Holy Uprising
by Prof. Michael L. BrownA revolution of repentance by the power of the Holy Spirit is needed in the church to bring renewal to a hurting nation. After reading Revolution you will understand what a biblical revolution looks like and how to implement it, starting within your own heart, and going outward from there. This book is not a call to the violent overthrow of the government, nor is it a call to take up arms, nor is it a call to political activism in and of itself. It is a call to something far more extreme, a call to live out the gospel with all its radical claims, a call for the people of God to impact this generation with the prophetic message of repentance, a call to spark the most sweeping counterculture movement in our nation&’s history, a call to take back the moral high ground that has been stolen from under our feet, a call to follow Jesus by life or by death. Revolution answers such questions as: What is the role of the Christian and the church during these tumultuous times?How are we to respond to the racial upheaval happening in our nation?What is the church&’s role in healing the divide in our fractured, divided country? Dr. Brown turns up the volume in this call to God&’s remnant people to pray, repent, and act according to the teachings of Jesus--who is calling us to holy revolution.

Revolution: The Bible for Teen Guys

Like no other Bible you have ever read, NIV Revolution is for today's teenage guy going toe-to-toe with a hard-hitting world. God knows all about this world---he is the authority when it comes to understanding relationships, communication, sex, parents, popularity, peer pressure, drugs, divorce, and everything else teenagers face. He also knows what makes you tick, loves you more than you can ever imagine, and wants you to experience a life of purpose, power, and impact. This Bible strengthens you and hones your spiritual revolutionary edge: 'Battlelines' show you how other teen guys deal with relationships, sex, drug abuse, and other real-life issues; 'Match-Ups' pit the good guys against the bad guys of the Bible to uncover winning---and losing---approaches to life; 'Challenge Notes' dare you to reach for everything God wants you to be. And there's plenty more---enough to help you make a kingdom-difference in the world around you. Fill your hands with Revolution. It will open your eyes, strengthen your courage, and guide you like a compass toward a life worth living. NIV 2011. The New International Version (NIV) translation of the Bible is the world's most popular modern-English Bible---easy to understand, yet rich with the detail found in the original languages.

by Livingstone CorporationIf you want to be part of a revolution, this book is a great place to start. You can make a difference—in the world, in your town, in your school, in your life. The Revolution Devotionalhelps you understand and develop character traits that will turn you into a revolutionary for God. No boring reading here—instead it’s fast-paced and fun.

Here are seven ways to achieve the latter status: • Color your eyebrows with purple Magic Marker®. • Insist that people call you “Butterscotch.” • Wear bumper stickers on the back of your coat. • Declare yourself a “meat-arian” and argue for vegetable rights. • Talk only in Dr. Seuss rhymes. • At the lunch table, do play-by-play commentary for a game going on in your imagination. • Randomly blurt out the phrase, “Now that’s what I’m talking about”—even when no one is talking.

A Revolution in Type: Gender and the Making of the American Yiddish Press
by Ayelet BrinnA fascinating glimpse into the complex and often unexpected ways that women and ideas about women shaped widely read Jewish newspapersBetween the 1880s and 1920s, Yiddish-language newspapers rose from obscurity to become successful institutions integral to American Jewish life. During this period, Yiddish-speaking immigrants came to view newspapers as indispensable parts of their daily lives. For many Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, acclimating to America became inextricably intertwined with becoming a devoted reader of the Yiddish periodical press, as the newspapers and their staffs became a fusion of friends, religious and political authorities, tour guides, matchmakers, and social welfare agencies.In A Revolution in Type, Ayelet Brinn argues that women were central to the emergence of the Yiddish press as a powerful, influential force in American Jewish culture. Through rhetorical debates about women readers and writers, the producers of the Yiddish press explored how to transform their newspapers to reach a large, diverse audience. The seemingly peripheral status of women’s columns and other newspaper features supposedly aimed at a female audience—but in reality, read with great interest by male and female readers alike—meant that editors and publishers often used these articles as testing grounds for the types of content their newspapers should encompass. The book explores the discovery of previously unknown work by female writers in the Yiddish press, whose contributions most often appeared without attribution; it also examines the work of men who wrote under women’s names in order to break into the press. Brinn shows that instead of framing issues of gender as marginal, we must view them as central to understanding how the American Yiddish press developed into the influential, complex, and diverse publication field it eventually became.

Revolutionary Demonology
by Gruppo di NunAn anthology of occult resistance: unpredictable and fascinating, at times hallucinatory, sullying politics, philosophy, cybertheory, religion, and music.The End Times are here. The Digital Middle Ages approaches, the plague reaps its deadly harvest, climate apocalypse is around the corner, and fanaticism, fascism, and madness are rampant. The idea that we might gain the upper hand over the dark abyss into which the planet is tumbling is a form of magical thinking, laboring under the delusion that we can subdue eternity with relentless bloodlust, brutish exploitation, abuse of power, and violence. Revolutionary Demonology responds to this ritual of control, typical of what esoteric tradition calls the &“Dogma of the Right Hand,&” by reactivating the occult forces of a Left Hand Path that strives for the entropic disintegration of all creation, so as to make peace with the darkness and nourish the Great Beast that will finally break the seals of Cosmic Love. Unpredictable and fascinating, genuinely bizarre, at times hallucinatory, sullying politics, philosophy, cybertheory, religion, and music alike with its fevered touch, this &“anthology of occult resistance&” collects together the communiqués of an arcane group who are already being hailed as the first morbid blossoming of &“Italian Weird Theory&”: a rogue contingent of theorists, witches, and sorcerers who heretically remix gothic accelerationism with satanic occultism and insurrectional necromancy.
A Revolutionary Faith: Liberation Theology Between Public Religion and Public Reason (Cultural Memory in the Present)
by Raúl E. ZegarraReligious commitments can be a powerful engine for progressive social change, and in this new book, Raúl E. Zegarra examines the process of articulation of religious beliefs and political concerns that takes place in religious organizing and activism. Focusing on the example of Latin American liberation theology and the work of Peruvian theologian Gustavo Gutiérrez, Zegarra shows how liberation theology advocates have been able to produce a new balance between faith and politics that advances an agenda of progressive social change without reducing politics to faith or faith to politics. Drawing from theologian David Tracy's method of critical correlation, the book focuses on key historical, philosophical, and theological shifts that have allowed liberation theologians to produce a new interpretation of the relationship between faith and politics in the Christian tradition, especially when issues of social justice are at stake. The book further approaches liberation theology's contributions to theorizing social justice through an unconventional path: a critical dialogue with the work of philosopher John Rawls. This dialogue, as Zegarra contends, allows us to see more clearly the contributions of liberation theology to the cause of progressive social change. Ultimately the book stands between "public religion" and "public reason," offering something of a blueprint for theological innovation and for how to remain committed to one's faith while respecting and defending the core values of democracy.

The Revolutionary Life of Freda Bedi: British Feminist, Indian Nationalist, Buddhist Nun
by Vicki MackenzieA fascinating biography of Freda Bedi, an English woman who broke all the rules of gender, race, and religious background to become both a revolutionary in the fight for Indian independence and then a Buddhist icon.She was the first Western woman to become a Tibetan Buddhist nun—but that pioneering ordination was really just one in a life full of revolutionary acts. Freda Bedi (1911–1977) broke the rules of gender, race, and religion—in many cases before it was thought that the rules were ready to be challenged. She was at various times a force in the struggle for Indian independence, spiritual seeker, scholar, professor, journalist, author, social worker, wife, and mother of four children. She counted among her friends, colleagues, and teachers Mohandas Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and many others. She was a woman of spiritual focus and compassion who was also not without contradictions. Vicki Mackenzie gives a nuanced view of Bedi and of the forces that shaped and motivated this complex and compelling figure.
