Аннотация
Las historias de este libro están informadas por las vivencias del autor durante los años sesenta y setenta en una ciudad de la Argentina. Pertenecen al género de la auto ficción, en donde la realidad y la imaginación conviven y se retroalimentan. El narrador es Pedro, quien describe su familia, la casa en donde vivió, las distintas personas que la habitaron, y la iglesia evangélica a la que asistió. Todos estos personajes se constituyen en verdaderos catalizadores de la sociedad de ese tiempo. Todos han sido fuertemente influenciados por la iglesia, y sus acciones son generalmente explicadas y justificadas por este dato. Incluso cuando no sea evidente, lo religioso está latente en cada historia y solo basta saberlo para descubrirlo. Tienen como propósito darle voz a un grupo religioso minoritario y criticar los privilegios no asumidos del status quo en un país marcado por grandes diferencias sociales, sexuales, raciales, políticas, religiosas, e intelectuales.
Аннотация
That Jesus started his career as a disciple of John the Baptist is an idea that has gained almost universal recognition in the scholarly world. His coming from Galilee to be baptized by John in the river Jordan is the most compelling proof of Jesus' subordination to John. But quickly after John was executed Jesus started his own career, not as a disciple anymore, but as a teacher in his own right. In this book Osvaldo Vena makes the claim that throughout his ministry Jesus remained a disciple, not of John, but of a higher power, God, and God's kingdom. Thus, Jesus called men and women to join him as co-disciples as he went about proclaiming the nearness of the kingdom through word and action.
In this work Vena contends that in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is presented as a prototype of true and faithful discipleship, a model to be followed and imitated by ancient as well as contemporary believers. This presentation amounts to an emerging Christology espoused by the early Markan community on the verge of destruction from outside forces, specifically the Jewish-Roman war, as well as internal divisions resulting from struggles for power in the community.
