To Touch the Face of God: The Sacred, the Profane, and the American Space Program, 1957–1975 (New Series in NASA History)
by Kendrick OliverWas the space program the signature project of secular modernity or a symbol of humankind’s perpetual quest for communion with God?"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..."In 1968 the world watched as Earth rose over the moonscape, televised from the orbiting Apollo 8 mission capsule. Radioing back to Houston on Christmas Eve, astronauts recited the first ten verses from the book of Genesis. In fact, many of the astronauts found space flight to be a religious experience. To Touch the Face of God is the first book-length historical study of the relationship between religion and the U.S. space program. Kendrick Oliver explores the role played by religious motivations in the formation of the space program and discusses the responses of religious thinkers such as Paul Tillich and C. S. Lewis. Examining the attitudes of religious Americans, Oliver finds that the space program was a source of anxiety as well as inspiration. It was not always easy for them to tell whether it was a godly or godless venture.Grounded in original archival research and the study of participant testimonies, this book also explores one of the largest petition campaigns of the post-war era. Between 1969 and 1975, more than eight million Americans wrote to NASA expressing support for prayer and bible-reading in space. Oliver’s study is rigorous and detailed but also contemplative in its approach, examining the larger meanings of mankind’s first adventures in "the heavens."

Todas las cosas nuevas: El cielo, la tierra y la restauración de todo lo que ama
by John EldredgeEl autor best seller del New York Times John Eldredge ofrece a los lectores una nueva e impresionante perspectiva de la promesa de Dios de un nuevo cielo y una nueva tierra.¿CUÁL SERÁ L A GRAN ESPERANZA QUE SOSTIENE SU VIDA?Este libro revolucionario acerca de nuestro futuro se basa en la sencilla idea de que, según la Biblia, el cielo no es nuestro hogar eterno, sino la tierra nueva. Tal como Jesús afirma en el Evangelio de Mateo, el próximo capítulo de nuestra historia comienza con «la renovación de todas las cosas», refiriéndose a la tierra que amamos en toda su belleza, nuestro propio ser y las cosas que enriquecen la vida: la música, el arte, la comida, las risas y todo lo que atesoramos. Todo ha de ser renovado «cuando la tierra sea hecha nueva».La manera en que imagina su futuro determina su experiencia actual más que cualquier otra cosa. Si estuviera seguro que Dios restaurará, en cualquier momento, su vida y todo lo que disfruta; si estuviera seguro que recibirá una bendición grande y gloriosa, no en el cielo sino aquí en esta tierra, tendría una esperanza que le ayudaría a enfrentar cualquier circunstancia, una certeza en el alma, «la cual tenemos como segura y firme ancla del alma, y que penetra hasta dentro del velo» (Hebreos 6.19).La mayoría de los cristianos no esperan el futuro con ansias porque sus ideas acerca del cielo son confusas, religiosas y, francamente, aburridas. La esperanza surge cuando comprendemos que para el creyente nada está perdido. El cielo no es una vida en las nubes; no consiste en canciones de adoración perpetuas. Más bien, la vida que anhelamos, el paraíso que Adán y Eva conocieron, es precisamente la vida que está preparada para nosotros.Y ESA VIDA VIENE PRONTO.

Today When You Hear His Voice: Scripture, the Covenants, and the People of God
by Gregory W. LeePresents a doctrine of Scripture based on Hebrews in dialogue with Augustine and Calvin What vision of biblical authority arises from Scripture’s own use of Scripture? This question has received surprisingly little attention from theologians seeking to develop a comprehensive doctrine of Scripture. Today When You Hear His Voice by Gregory W. Lee fills this gap by listening carefully to the Epistle to the Hebrews. Lee illuminates the unique way that Hebrews appropriates Old Testament texts as he considers the theological relationship between salvation history and scriptural interpretation. He illustrates these dynamics through extended treatments of Augustine and Calvin, whose contrasting perspectives on the covenants, Israel, and the literal and figural senses provide theological categories for appreciating how Hebrews innovatively presents Scripture as God’s direct address in the contemporary moment.
