"Contesting Ecumenical Theology" is a major contribution to the study of the Church. It provides clear and authoritative orientation for the student, while probing deep into a range of key issues in ecclesiology and ecumenical dialogue from a critical standpoint that will stimulate discussion among scholars and ecumenists. It reclaims some old orthodoxies, while challenging some new ones, and points to a deeper and more personal engagement with the major traditions of the Christian Church as the way to fuller unity and more effective mission. "Contesting Ecumenical Theology" argues that the values of difference and diversity and the priority of mission and evangelisation must shape our picture of unity. It transcends old arguments about 'establishment', by showing that all churches are compelled to develop a constructive relationship to the modern state, wherever possible, if they are to be effective in mission. The central ecumenical notion of 'recept...

Peu de livres du domaine de l'esthetique ont eu le succes retentissant d'Abstraktion und Einfuhlung. Depuis sa parution en 1907, il n'a cesse d'etre reedite et a ete, tres rapidement, traduit en plusieurs langues meme s'il a fallu attendre soixante-dix ans la traduction francaise. A quoi tient ce succes si durable ? A la clarte du style de Worringer, certes, mais aussi aux problemes que le livre souleve. Prenant appui sur des concepts elabores par l'esthetique allemande, tels que l'Einfuhlung, Worringer interroge la souverainete de la vision de la Renaissance qu'il circonscrit. Il delimite ainsi l'aire de l'expressionnisme et finit par opposer au classicisme une vision ou le realisme s'estompe au profit de l'abstraction. These, par certains cotes, prophetique, qui demandait a etre confrontee a l'art abstrait. D'ou l'importance de la presentation de cet ouvrage, confiee a Dora Vallier, specialiste bien connue de l...

"Millones de personas en todo el mundo padecen de migraña, y sin embargo sigue siendo una enfermedad tan impredecible y variable en sus síntomas y fisiología que constituye un verdadero desafío para la profesión médica. Durante siglos se la ha confundido con la locura o la epilepsia, se le ha adjudicado la etiqueta de psicosomática e incluso algunas de sus alucinaciones se han confundido con visiones místicas, como las que describe la religiosa Hildegard en un manuscrito del siglo XII. Oliver Sacks, en este su primer libro, publicado en 1970 y cuya última edición, revisada, aumentada y profusamente ilustrada, presentamos ahora en castellano, refleja su experiencia como médico con pacientes de migraña desde los inicios de su carrera hasta la actualidad, tres décadas que han resultado cruciales a la hora de identificar los mecanismos fisiológicos y biológicos que gobiernan la enfermedad, gracias, sobre todo, a las recientes teorías del «caos» y de los sistemas autoorganizativos. En ...

To say the Punic Wars (264-146 BC) were a turning-point in world history is a vast understatement. These vicious battles pitted two flourishing Mediterranean powers against one another, leaving one an unrivaled giant and the other a literal pile of ash. To later observers, a collision between these civilizations seemed inevitable and yet, to the Romans and Carthaginians at the time, war erupted seemingly out of nowhere and was expected to be a short and trivial skirmish. Mastering the West offers a superlative narrative of all three wars as they are generally divided, while treating a full range of themes: the antagonists' military, naval, economic, and demographic resources and strategic opportunities; the political structures of both republics; questions of leadership and the contributions of leaders like Hannibal, Fabius the Delayer, Scipio Africanus, Masinissa, and Scipio Aemilianus; and the postwar impact of the conflicts on the participants and victims. Dexter Hoyos, a lead...
