"To our lay brothers and sisters we also dedicate this book, to help them better understand, value and support their dear priests, the wounded and the beaming ones alike. In particular, we hope that seminarians and young men still discerning their calling might draw inspiration from this short presentation.
We beg for the leniency of the informed reader towards what is not a systematic treatise. Concision led us to reserve for a separate publication...

Until the modern era, monarchs were understood to be supported by the power of God; they were, in fact, in some cases thought to be gods themselves. The Bible has often been misinterpreted to encourage such oppressive values. Robert Gnuse, however, argues that the Bible is not a tyrannical text. Rather than displaying the lofty, divine status of kings, the Bible portrays them as human and thus serves as a powerful text for liberation from tyranny...

¿Las dificultades de la vida están produciendo en mí el carácter de José o el de Jacob?
La vida de José es, sin duda, retadora. Desde un punto de vista humano, padeció muchas penurias: su madre murió a los pocos años de su nacimiento; sufrió el desprecio de sus hermanos por ser el favorito de su padre; fue vendido como esclavo y deportado a Egipto cuando era joven; estuvo acusado falsamente y encarcelado, etc. Si atendemos a la explicación...
