Product Description

Description: In print for over three decades in English and a decade in French, la reverenda doctora Aída Besançon Spencer's Beyond the Curse: Women Called to Ministry is finally available in a fully corrected and updated Spanish version. Praised in Christianity Today as one of the five best books on the topic and selected by Eternity as a book of the year, Mas alla de la maldicion studies the biblical support of women in ministry, treating the Bible as reliable and authoritative. A key source that has helped shape current discussions on the role of women in ministry, the book includes Genesis support for shared tasks as equals, Jesus' and Paul's teachings and practice on women in ministry, the Bible's examples of women in authoritative positions, feminine metaphors for God, and an afterword written by the Rev. Dr. William David Spencer on how husband and wife have practically worked on sharing tasks. o ""Here is a technical female biblical scholar who brings strong credentials to set forth a fresh examination of the biblical texts to women in life and ministry."" --Southwestern Journal of Theology o ""Spencer's book is unique."" --The Reformed Journal o ""A more truly biblical approach."" --Dr. Ward Gasque o ""Besancon Spencer handles well the supposedly difficult Pauline passages in 1 Timothy 2."" --Alvera Mickelsen Endorsements: ""Rev. Dra. Aída Besançon Spencer, profesora y especialista en estudios y exégesis del Nuevo Testamento, analiza y presenta el respaldo bíblico para las mujeres en el ministerio. Este libro es único en su clase por su contenido y fidelidad a los textos bíblicos y por considerar seria y responsablemente el contexto cultural e histórico. Spencer plasma en esta obra sus estudios e investigaciones en forma clara con un fundamento bíblico sólido, superando a cualquiera de los pocos libros que yo conozca se han publicado sobre este tema. Las ediciones en inglés (continuas desde 1985) y en francés han llevado a quienes lo han leído a reconocer su gran valor. Hace tiempo que necesitábamos este libro en español, por su invaluable aporte a la discusión sobre la igualdad en el ministerio."" -Awilda González-Tejera Facultad Adjunta de Nuevo Testamento Seminario Teológico Fuller ""La obra, Más allá de la maldición, es verdaderamente un tesoro y don de Dios a la iglesia Latina. En vista del 'machismo' que se manifiesta en la sociedad, y lamentablemente hasta en la misma iglesia, esta obra será una brisa fresca del Espíritu de Dios. Spencer provee una sólida y fiel exegesis de la Palabra de Dios y una exposición bíblica y teológica que responde a las inquietudes en nuestras iglesias sobre el papel de la mujer en el ministerio. Este libro merece ser leído, meditado, y sobre todo, vivido!"" -Eldin Villafañe Professor de etica social cristiana, Seminario Teologico Gordon-Conwell Boston, Massachusetts, Estados Unidos ""Es un placer especial recomendar la edición en español de Más Allá de la Maldición de la Dra. Aída Besançon Spencer. Este es un libro muy conocido y bellamente presentado. Esta obra se necesita, especialmente en este tiempo, en la vida de la iglesia. Yo lo recomiendo con entusiasmo a todos los lectores."" -Walter C. Kaiser Jr. Presidente Emeritus Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary About the Contributor(s): Aída Besançon Spencer is Professor of New Testament at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
