La carta a los romanos es el razonamiento más largo y sistemático de las cartas de Pablo. Pablo anuncia su tema en los versículos 1: 16-17: El evangelio es el poder de Dios para la salvación, tanto para los judíos como para los gentiles, porque nos muestra cómo nuestra justicia proviene de Dios. Pablo explica la necesidad de la justificación a través de la fe a causa del pecado (1:16 al 4: 25) Luego explica los resultados de la justificación por la fe en términos tanto de la experiencia presente como de la esperanza futura (5: 1-8: 39). En los siguientes tres capítulos, expresa su ...

Como su nombre lo indica, Génesis trata sobre los comienzos. El libro de Génesis habla de cómo Dios creó los cielos y la tierra, la humanidad y todo lo que existe.

Génesis incluye algunas de las historias más memorables de la Biblia, comenzando con Adán y Eva (capítulos 1-4), siguiendo hasta Noé y el diluvio, la torre de Babel, Abraham, Isaac y ...

While the Mark Twain Project has created and released a three-volume Mark Twain autobiography with extensive annotations, in the 21st century, this two-volume autobiography was published in 1924 and contains many works never before released. It came 14 years after Twain's death and so, "speaking from the grave", he felt he could be "as frank and free and unembarrassed as a love letter". The autobiographical chapters that he published years earlier in the North American Review, were selected more for their acceptability and potential popularity than for their completely true reflection of his ...

El título "Números" proviene de los dos censos que son característicos de este libro. Sin embargo, el título hebreo "en el desierto" es más descriptivo del libro. Números cuenta cómo el pueblo de Dios viajó desde el Monte Sinaí hasta la frontera de la Tierra Prometida. Pero cuando se negaron a tomar posesión de la Tierra, Dios los hizo vagar por el desierto durante casi cuarenta años. A través del libro, Dios es visto como un Dios Santo que no puede permitir la desobediencia, pero quien al mismo tiempo guarda fielmente su pacto y satisface pacientemente las necesidades de su pueblo...

By the time Mark Twain worked as a roving reporter for the Sacramento Union, he had held positions with other newspapers in Nevada and California. However, his assignment in 1866 to visit and report on the Sandwich Islands, changed his life. These 25 "letters" from Hawaii gave him an international "scoop" and opened the door for a lifetime of speaking engagements. “I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I had a jolly time. I would not have fooled away any of it writing letters under any consideration whatever.” –Mark Twain - Summary by John Greenman and Wikipedia

Éxodo es la narración de cómo Dios cumplió la promesa que hizo a Abraham de multiplicar sus descendientes y convertirlos en una nación grande, cómo los liberó de la esclavitud en Egipto, los llevó a la tierra prometida, y luego los unió a sí mismo mediante un pacto que hizo con ellos en el Monte Sinaí. Moisés, bajo el mando directo de Dios y como líder de Israel, recibió los Diez Mandamientos de Dios, junto con otras leyes, que rigen la vida diaria y la manera de rendir culto de Israel. También dirigió la nación para la construcción del tabernáculo, un lugar donde la ...

Uit de inleiding van de schrijver bij de originele Engelstalige uitgave (helaas niet in deze vertaling opgenomen): "Ofschoon mijn boek hoofdzakelijk bedoeld is voor het plezier van jongens en meisjes, hoop ik dat het daarom niet door de ouderen uit de weg wordt gegaan. Het was namelijk gedeeltelijk mijn bedoeling om volwassenen op een plezierige manier er aan te herinneren hoe zij zelf waren en dachten en spraken en welke vreemde zaken zij soms deden." Tom Sawyer is de verpersoonlijking van de Amerikaanse jeugd in de negentiende eeuw. Hij leeft in het fictieve St Petersburg, samen met zijn ...

Los cinco libros de Moisés anticiparon el cumplimiento de la promesa de Dios a Abraham con respecto a la tierra prometida. Ahora (alrededor de 1400 aC) a través de una serie de victorias militares bajo el mando de Josué, Israel conquistó la tierra, que se distribuiría de acuerdo a las doce tribus. En estas batallas se hizo evidente que Dios pelea por su pueblo cuando son "fuertes y valientes" y ponen su plena confianza en él. Al finalizar el libro Joshua manda expresamente al pueblo a permanecer fiel a Dios y obedecer sus mandamientos y la gente estuvo de acuerdo en hacerlo. "En cuanto a...

A Horse's Tale is a novel by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), written partially in the voice of Soldier Boy, who is Buffalo Bill's favorite horse, at a fictional frontier outpost with the U.S. 7th Cavalry. With a fanciful mix of points of view, we hear the story of Cathy and her relationship with Soldier Boy and the soldiers of the 7th Cavalry. A surprisingly graphic depiction of a Spanish bullfight leaves no doubt where Mark Twain's sympathies lie. (Introduction by John Greenman & Wikipedia)
