1 comments about A History of Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1738-1988.

1. This volume is a part of the bicentennial celebration of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Maryland. The purpose is to make us mindful of our rich heritage from the distant past, to help us understand our relation to the living present, and to show us our responsibility to the promising future.
   
   The aim has been to give an accurate and readable account of the origin and growth of the congregation. It is not written primarily for the expert scholar but for the average member of a large and alert congregation. We have assumed in our readers no technical knowledge of general Church history of theology. In the effort to present the narrative in such a form as to interset the general reader, we have included some details that the average student of Lutheran history might regard as superfluous. The purpose has been to lend life and color to the story, to furnish interpretation and background rather than a mere chronicle of bare facts.
   
   This account rests almost entirely from unpublished materials.

1. I have not read this book. However, from what the editorial reviews say about this book, I would like to order it for our Lutheran church library. However, it is so expensive that I must pass on it. ... seems incredibly steep for 200 pages of information. Why does it not have a more reasonable price? This is a very important issue for gay and lesbian Lutherans and their families and friends. I wish it were less expensive so we could get the word out about this issue and start opening some minds.

1 comments about Pulpito y Poesia: Recursos poeticos para la predicacion, la ensenanza y la devocion espiritual.

1. El presente libro es una antología o compilación poética magnífica. La propuesta del editor es darle al lector la esencia de varios siglos del arte poético en la lengua de Castilla, para que se pueda disfrutar y utilizar en diversas areas de la vida. Según lo presenta el título y subtítulo, parece que la intención fundamental -al menos del editor- es su utilización para la Predicación, la Enseñanza o la Devoción personal. Yo diría que, sea usted creyente o no lo sea, esta compilación poética contiene la cumbre de la espiritualidad de autores clásicos y contemporáneos, tales como:
   
   Ruben Dario
   Amado Nervo
   José Manrique
   Miguel de Cervantes
   José Marti
   Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
   Juana Inés de la Cruz
   Juan de la Cruz
   Miguel de Unamuno
   Y varios otros literatos clásicos y algunos contemporáneos. ¡¡¡Todos ellos maestros, señores de las letras hispánicas!!!
   
   Las temáticas son tan variadas como, poemas que expresan la fe, la duda, el miedo, la pasion de Cristo, el perdón, la amistad, el valor de una madre, poemas del amor y del vivir.
   
   Me hubiera gustado encontrar un indice de temas, ya que sólo contiene el indice de autores y de titulos de los poemas. Pero bueno, no obstante al detalle, sin lugar a dudas, es un trabajo muy aprovechable, por un precio super -dicho sea de paso, y que merece varias lecturas, así como ser empleado como futura referencia.
   
   Trabajo del mismo autor, y que trata de la comunicación y las relaciones humanas, sumamente aprovechable también, es: Como Relacionarse Mejor: Manual de Tecnicas Para Desarrollar Relaciones Mas Satisfactorias, Dinamicas y Duraderas (Serie Recursos Ministeriales)
