Hoy en dia, la humanidad se posiciona en dos principales actitudes individuales: los que creen en "algo trascendente" y los que rehusan o ven con indiferencia a esta "muleta de la condicion humana" cuyas eventuales pruebas, manifestaciones o testimonios consideran como simple proyeccion de la mente, alucinaciones o fenomenos por explicarse un dia. Personalmente no hago gran diferencia entre un ateo y un creyente cuando en ambos existen bondad, respeto a la vida, equidad, gusto en servir, hermandad y curiosidad por la verdad. Es un estado vibratorio muy parejo. Lo que hay de muy aprovechable en este libro de Noe esperon, ademas de estas conversaciones con difuntos, es la sorprendente propuesta que se hizo a si mismo y nos hace una tercera opcion: la de CONOCER. Nos propone entrar personalmente en lo desconocido para "verlo," experimentarlo, observarlo e interactuar con el... sin drogas, sin necesidad de una experiencia cercana a la muerte, en plena conciencia... solamente mediante un esfuerzo razonable, un entrenamiento al alcance de muchos, una tecnica que ofrece ensenarnos.

This reading of Hosea explores the book from a feminist, psychoanalytical and poetic perspective. What is God doing with a prostitute? How does the theme of prostitution relate to the abjection of the woman as the other, and the fantasy of sexual ecstasy, precisely because she escapes patriarchal order? Where is the prophet situated in the dialectic of rage and desire that both seduces and condemns Israel? His voice is both masculine and feminine, and poetically embodies the sensuality of wayward Israel. The ambiguity of voice is also that of the prophet's role, which is both to nurture Israel, as on its Exodus from Egypt, and to be the trap that destroys it. The problematic of voice and prophetic function is evident in the vivid dissection of Israel's social institutions, whose disintegration is inversely related to the centrality of the discussion in the structure of the book, and in the violent swings from despair to impossible hope. The focus on immediate and uncontrollable entropy, manifest in extended tangled metaphors, that occupies the centre of the book, is framed in the outer chapters by intertextual references to Israel's primordial vision, and the romantic distantiation of the Song of Songs, in which the erotic and poetic contradictions of the book find their perhaps ironic resolution.

The Gospel according to Matthew is perhaps the most important single document of the New Testament, for in it we have the fullest and most systematic account of the birth, life, teaching, death and resurrection of the founder of Christianity, Jesus the Messiah. Michael Green shows how this very Jewish Gospel portrays the power and purpose of Jesus' life and work, which was to bring light to all nations. Matthew records Jesus as Son of God, Messiah, Son of David, Son of Man and supremely as God returning to Jerusalem as judge and redeemer. The consequences of this steady focus are as relevant now as then. We need Matthew's emphasis on the unity of God's revelation, old and new, its reaching on the life of discipleship and the meaning of the kingdom of heaven, and its insights into the people of the messiah, the end of the world and the universality of the Good News.

Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright manages to convey the simplicity, and helps to unravel the great complexity, of this extraordinary gospel. He describes it as "one of the great books in the literature of the world; and part of its greatness is the way it reveals its secrets not just to high-flown learning, but to those who come to it with humility and hope".
