Semana Santa: Orígenes y significado
Digital Logos Edition
Reseña
¿Qué significa la llamada “Semana Santa” para los cristianos? ¿Cuál es el propósito de algunas de las tradiciones y costumbres acerca de esa semana especial que han llegado hasta nuestros días y que seguimos practicando? En Semana Santa: Orígenes y significado, el historiador y teólogo Justo L. González, se propone ayudarnos a entender que, a pesar de las diferencias y siglos que nos separan con la iglesia primitiva, la manera en que ellos celebraban la Semana Santa forma parte de nuestra herencia. Sin ellos y sin su testimonio – y el testimonio de las siguientes generaciones – jamás hubiéramos escuchado las buenas nuevas de Jesucristo.
What does the so-called “Holy Week” (Easter) mean to Christians? What is the purpose of some of the traditions and customs about that special week that have survived to this day and that we continue to practice? In Easter: Origins and Meaning, the historian and theologian Justo L. González, intends to help us understand that, despite the differences and centuries that separate us from the early church, the way in which they celebrated Easter is part of our inheritance. Without them and without their testimony - and the testimony of the following generations - we would never have heard the good news of Jesus Christ.

Dr. Justo L. González was born and raised in Cuba where he did his first university and seminary studies. In 1961 he became the youngest person to be awarded a Ph. D. in historical theology at Yale University. He is an ordained Minister of Word and Sacraments by the Methodist Church. For thirty years he taught in a variety of theological institutions. He has given hundreds of lectures in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Justo has written over one hundred books, although he is better known for his two-volume The Story of Christianity and his three-volume A history of Christian Thought, which have been translated into eight languages. Besides his passion for connecting theology with the life of the church through publications, his most cherished and valued activity is the mentoring and encouraging of Hispanics and other minority scholars. Today, as a retired professor, he devotes his time to research and writing and to promoting Latino theological education.
