Severi Antiiulianistica
by edited and translated by A. Sanda (2011)
About this book
"Severus of Antioch (d. 538) disagreed with Julian, bishop of Halicarnassus, on the question of the corruptibility of Jesus’ body, and thö two engaged in polemical disputes in writing. This volume contains the Syriac version, with Latin translation, of a series of letters between the two men, Severus refutation of Julian’s “Tome,” and the former’s Refutation of Heretical Propositions. The Syriac text is edited from manuscripts at the Vatican Library and the British Museum. Sanda gives an index of authors cited in each work. Along with Sanda’s other editions and translations (also available from Gorgias Press), this volume gives students and scholars a look into the theological sectarianism that affected much of the intellectual and political climate of Late Antiquity. Syriac and Greek scholars interested in patristic translations will also find this work of some interest"--From the publisher's website.

Latin American evangelical theology in the 1970's
Daniel Salinas
The story of Latin American evangelicals doing theology is mostly unknown. In the 1970's there was an important development with the formation of the Latin American Theological Fraternity (FTL). This group spearheaded the theological production in Latin America, marking the beginning of a critical stage in the history of evangelicals in the region. This book deals with the reception history in North America of the FTL and its program. Interamerican theological dialogue is documented and analysed.
Reinventing Christianity
John Parratt
In Reinventing Christianity, the first comprehensive survey of Christian theology in Africa to appear in English, John Parratt provides a critical yet sympathetic examination of the new ways of doing theology that have recently emerged from within the African church. Follownig an introduction that charts the growth and development of African theology, Parratt examines the differing theological assumptions and methodologies throughout the continent. He also shows how Africans are rethinking the central dogmas of the Christian faith - Scripture, God, christology, the church, and eschatology - and evaluates Africa's political theologies, giving special attention to theological approaches to African socialism and to South African black theology. The final chapter exposes some of the problematic issues that can provide a framework for wider ecumenical theological debate.
La teología del siglo XX
Rosino Gibellini
El discurso teológico del siglo XX, como discurso hecho "en honor de Dios", se ha ido desarrollando cada vez más como discurso en defensa y a favor de lo "Humanum", empalmando con los filones más vivo s de la tradición cristiana. Uno de los textos más citados de la tradición cirstiana en la teología del siglo XX en la afirmación de Ireneo, del siglo II: "Gloria Dei vivens homo", "la glora de Dios es el ser humano vivo". En un importante debate filosófico sobre "El futuro de la Ilustración", Johann Baptist Metz advertía a los filósofos presentes que la cultura de la Ilustración, como culturua de la libertad, de la democracia y de los derechos humanos, si quiere tener futuro, debe abrirse a las aportaciones que puede ofrecerle la memoria del Dios de la tradición bíblico-cristiana, "la cual todavia hoy permite hablar de humanidad y de solidaridad, de opresión y de liberación, y protestar contra una injusticia que clama al cielo". En este estudio se pretende una reconstrucción global de la historia del pensamiento cristiano del siglo XX en sus momentos más significativos, en sus temáticas más comprometidas y en los textos esenciales que jalonan su recorrido. Las "teologías" que van sucediéndose de capítulo en capítulo deben verse como perspectiva sobre el objeto incomparable y co-envolvente (Barth) del Misterio y de la Revelación (el tema propio de la teología) en el contexto experiencial, cultural y social en que se va articulando sucesivamente la reflexión teológica de nuestro siglo.
