Sobre IBD

¿QUIÉNES ERAN REALMENTE LOS PURITANOS?La era puritana fue extremadamente importante en la formación de la constitución inglesa y su efecto sobre la iglesia. Nos dio una tradición de teología pastoral sin igual en la historia del mundo evangélico protestante.Hoy en día, una parte significativa de la iglesia ha decidido que su ministerio actual debe llevarse a cabo de forma pragmática en lugar de teológica. Lo que funciona» es más importante que «lo que es más bíblico». Si queremos ser eficaces en el siglo XXI, necesitamos sentarnos a los pies de los puritanos.Aunque la contribución e influencia de los puritanos ha sido muy extendida, poco se conoce sobre sus orígenes, creencias, y conflictos en los que se vieron envueltos. El puritanismo, a menudo malinterpretado, fue un movimiento dentro de la Iglesia Establecida de Inglaterra. Su objetivo era alinear las prácticas eclesiásticas con la reforma protestante continental. Este libro aporta una contribución histórica para una mejor comprensión de los puritanos.Este trabajo destaca por incorporar múltiples elementos que la enriquecen, la posicionan como una versión excepcionalmente más completa en comparación con su original en inglés. Tres componentes clave diferencian esta versión de la edición inglesa.Primero, además de ser una traducción total y precisa del trabajo original de Brown, sin abreviaciones o reducciones, esta edición incluye una cantidad considerable de contenido adicional ausente en la versión original. Se han incorporado más de sesenta notas aclaratorias al texto de Brown, que no solo clarifican y expanden la información presentada sino que también ofrecen valiosos detalles sobre el contexto histórico, político y social de varios eventos importantes. Estas anotaciones son una herramienta indispensable para profundizar en el tema, ampliando la información proporcionada por Brown.En segundo lugar, se han incluido un apéndice y una introducción breve del libro de Nick Needham, «2000 Años del poder de Cristo: La era del conflicto religioso Vol. 4». Esta adición ayuda a compensar algunas de las deficiencias y omisiones de la obra original de Brown, mejorando considerablemente su precisión histórica con los descubrimientos más recientes en este campo de estudio.Finalmente, la inclusión de títulos y subtítulos a lo largo del texto divide cada capítulo en secciones más cortas, facilitando la lectura y comprensión de los conceptos presentados. Además, se ha añadido un índice de nombres al final del libro para facilitar su navegación temática. Todos estos elementos enriquecen la calidad de esta obra, estableciéndola como única en relación a las publicaciones existentes en español sobre este tema. 10
