Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)May 2019El retratista de los niños muertos (En los tiempos del porvenir)
by Manuel Aparicio Villalba
En 1923, las autoridades primorriveristas deciden esconder el cinturón de miseria que rodea la ciudad a los futuros visitantes de la Exposición Iberoamericana del 29. Más de treinta asentamientos chabolistas son desalo¬jados y sus pobladores enviados a Villalatas, la zona más alejada de cualquier ruta de paso. En aquel lugar, un arrabal sin iglesias donde los niños mueren de miseria y el único consuelo de sus madres es poder disponer del recuerdo foto¬gráfico de un cuerpo inerte, se encuentra desde hace años una fonda que resulta ser el burdel más grande, maloliente y barato de la provincia. El relato es una historia de dos grandes mujeres, Davinia y Che, que comienza en 1882, cuando Cristina Salazar Expósito cumple trece años y las monjas del Hospicio de la Santísima Trinidad le buscan un oficio de sirvienta en aquella fonda. Esa misma noche, Doña Paquita la sentará en una silla de enea en mitad del salón donde se espera, le bajará las bragas hasta los tobillos y la rifará al mejor postor entre la selecta clientela. Años después, será capaz de reinventar el pasado y desvelar el futuro. Bajo la más pura tradición del realismo mágico, El retratista de los niños muertos nos sumerge en un tiempo que trans¬curre entre la luz decimonónica de las lámparas de queroseno y la modernidad de un mundo recién estrenado por el hada electricidad, trasladándonos a un territorio que el lector sentirá mítico: Villalatas.

Ancient history: to c 500 CEChristianity as a Lifestyle
The Early Followers of Jesus in Ponto and Bithynia
by Santiago Guijarro
Christianity’s initial expansion was a phenomenon of the apostolic generation (30-70 AD). However, the first evangelization would not have had a lasting effect if the Christian beliefs and lifestyle had not been rooted in the communities of Jesus’ followers. The work of consolidation was the mission of the following generation (70-110), which continued the task started by the first missionaries. By analyzing a concrete case, the author studies the role played by the second Christian generation, who can be traced thanks to two complementary, yet very different pieces of evidence: the First Letter of Peter and one of the letters of Pliny the Young to Trajan.

Biblical studies & exegesisThe Way of the Disciple
Following Jesus according Mark's Gospel
by Santiago Guijarro
The originality of this work is the invitation to read the Gospel in light of the experience of Jesus’ discipleship. The circumstances of today’s readers are certainly different from those of the first disciples. Nowadays, possibly no one makes a living by fishing with rudimentary techniques in a small lake and no one speaks the language of those fishermen... Yet, today’s readers can easily share with them the experience of being called by Jesus and the joy of being by His side. They may even know first hand how difficult it is sometimes to persevere in following Jesus. We must remember today the founding experiences of our faith, discipleship being one of them.

Christian theologySalvation
A Sketch of Soteriology
by Emilio J. Justo
When human beings seriously reflect on their existence and the world around them, they are faced with pressing questions that require an answer. What is the meaning of my life? Why does the world exist? Is happiness possible? Why there is suffering? Why do I have to die? Is it possible to overcome guilt and redeem sin? Will someone bring justice someday? All these questions and many others ultimately point to salvation, whose goal is to overcome the evil we suffer and to achieve the fullness we long for. From a Christian perspective, salvation can also be understood as the personal participation in God’s communion.

ChristianityInvitation to Christianity
Experience and Truth
by Olegario González de Cardedal
True teachers have invited us to search for what they considered essential to live a full life: to seek the truth, to love the neighbor, to cultivate wisdom, to find the meaning of history and to search God. This book is an invitation to know Christianity from within. The origin of Christianity lies in the historical event of Jesus of Nazareth, who proposed a particular way of life and of truth. The experience of millions of men and women who throughout the centuries have thought about Christianity and lived it gives witness to a reality which can be intellectually thought and lived, whose practice is affable and feasible, and which remains an open and accessible path to search for Jesus Christ’s God.

Introduction to Christian Ethics
In the Horizon of the New Testament
by Alberto de Mingo Kaminouchi
More than affirming a set of doctrines, being a Christian means to get involved in the task of responding to the God of Jesus of Nazareth without reservations. By imitating his Teacher and under the guidance of the Spirit, Jesus’ followers can contribute to the rising of a new creation already here on earth. That is the only way for Christian ethics to find its meaning and fulfil its goal. This innovative handbook runs through the New Testament with an eye to three key concepts in Aristotle’s ethics: happiness, virtue, and love, in order to create a basic grammar which allows today’s reader to enter into Christian ethics.

Literature & Literary StudiesAn Introduction to Christian Arab Literature
by Pilar González Casado
Since its very beginning, Christianity has been present in the Middle East. However, the rise of Islam toward the end of the seventh century and the political and linguistic dominion it exerted over that region has a deep impact on the area and the Christian communities. When Arabic became the language of culture, Christian authors adopted it in their writings. As a result of the ups and downs in their relation with Islam, there will be apocalyptic and apocryphal works in ancient Palestine monasteries, books by Melkite, Nestorian and Monophysite authors, dogmatic treatises and poetic compositions. Moreover, both the Bible and patristic, liturgical and hagiographical works were soon translated into Arabic. This literary activity took place not only in major centers such as Damascus, Baghdad and Cairo, but also in farther areas like Al-Andalus.

Christian theologyThe Practice of Theology
An Introduction to Theological Reflection and Its Main Figures
by Ángel Cordovilla
What is theology? Anyone who tries to answer this question is invited, first of all, to practice such singular science. In order to do so, she or he will have to visit the loci where theology is made, to understand the essential forms it has adopted throughout history, and to deepen into the topics its inner configuration calls for: God’s revelation, human faith, Church, Scripture, Tradition, and Magisterium. This introduction to theological reflection is written from the conviction that theology owns a unique word that only theology can say and propose as a service both to the Church and to society.

Christian life & practiceAs the Father Sent Me, So I Send You
Theology and Spirituality of Priestly Apostolic Ministry
by Ángel Cordovilla
This work, halfway between the personal testimony and the theological reflection, is divided into three parts. The first displays the historical and cultural situation that has provoked a radical change in the way of perceiving and understanding priestly ministry. The second identifies four features that may enlighten nowadays the image and mission of the priest: the disciple, apostolic, fraternal, and secular dimensions. The third part deepens into the basic tasks of his mission –the preaching of the Gospel, the sanctification by way of the sacramental and liturgical action, and the guidance of God’s people–, without forgetting that the criterion that must guide and feed the apostolic existence is the daily practice of the ministry, the true and proper way to holiness.

History of religionThe Bible, from the Beginning to the End
A Reading Guide for Today
by Alberto de Mingo Kaminouchi
No literary work has exerted more influence on Western culture than the Bible. None has been more studied by archaeologists, historians, philologists, anthropologists, philosophers or theologians across the centuries. For anyone interested in this work, true heritage of the world, this book is an indispensable introduction to the main contents and to the discoveries that have been done in recent decades, usually restricted to specialists’ circles. The author offers a vast overview of each one of the books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Characters, geographical settings, historical events, cultures, literary genres and numberless complementary data help the reader to think about the present in light of a past that has configured the mindset of whole generations. “The author combines a simple, yet rigorous, scientific vision of the problems, with a believing reading and an extraordinary pedagogical ability to reach today’s readers.”

Ancient history: to c 500 CEThe First Evangelization in Earliest Christianity
New Revised and Expanded Edition
by Santiago Guijarro
When during the spring of 50 AD Paul arrived at Corinth in the company of Silvanus and Timothy, he met Prisca and Aquila, expelled from Rome on account of their faith. Since that moment, the Roman couple joined Paul’s group and supported him on his mission. The letters written by the apostle and his collaborators, as well as the book of the Acts of the Apostles, offer much information regarding this missionary group, yet very scarce data about other groups, giving us the impression they were the leading and almost exclusive actors of the first evangelization. We know, nonetheless, there were other groups as well as a series of anonymous individual witnesses who carried out an intense missionary activity during the apostolic era. That first and diverse mission was a singular historical event, part of the collective memory on what Christian churches founded and keep founding their identity and their evangelizing task throughout the ages.

PhilosophyAnthropology of Christian Vocation
From Person to Person
by Juan Manuel Cabiedas
The question regarding how to guide one’s own life is among the most pressing and serious questions. Both in its sacred understanding, as referring to a trascendent call, and in its lay conception, that connects the feeling of happiness to one’s self-fulfillment, the word vocation expresses the right way that a person follows to succesfully lead his or her own life. This may be the reason why, when talking about vocation, the word echoes all the elements that make up the identity of the human being: corporeity and spirituality, intelligence and sensitivity, conscience and freedom, personal biography and collective history. Without vocation, the personal being is doomed to treat oneself and to be treated with indifference.

Christian theologyThe Christ Always New
The Place of Context in Christology
by Francisco García Martínez
Something has changed in Christology, something that causes anxiousness and worry among the shepherds and theologians that try to give reason of their faith in a time and in a society where certitudes have dwindled. However, since Christ is the same yesterday, today and always, the only and universal Salvator in history, theology, forced by Christ’s eschatological lordship, which does not despise any historical present as his own body, must look for new ways to offer today’s men and women the truth, beauty and goodness that are in store for all in God’s very depths. According to this logic, where the context becomes a provocation inviting faith and theology to be daring, the liturgical Christ reveals himself as the foundation of Christology, since it is the place where he displays his truth and living presence.
