El momento de crisis mundial que hoy vivimos realza la importancia y la apremiante necesidad de la plena vigencia y fiel observancia del derecho internacional. En este inicio del siglo XXI tenemos efectivamente el privilegio de testimoniar el proceso de humanización del derecho internacional, que pasa a ocuparse más directamente de la realización de metas comunes superiores. El reconocimiento de la centralidad de los derechos humanos corresponde a un nuevo ethos de nuestros tiempos.
La presente obra constituye una guía para profundizar en el conocimiento de esta rama de la ciencia jurídica, pues proporciona, de forma clara y didáctica, una visión de conjunto de la disciplina, abarcando tanto los aspectos clásicos (fuentes, sujetos, reglamentación de espacios, solución pacífica de controversias) como aquellos en plena evolución (inmunidad jurisdiccional de los Estados y su responsabilidad internacional, asilo y refugio y desplazamiento, responsabilidad internacional de las organizaciones internacionales).
Además de los nuevos dominios que en los últimos años han enriquecido mucho la materia (derechos humanos, medio ambiente, derecho internacional humanitario, responsabilidad internacional del individuo) y aquellos temas que pocos autores tratan o desarrollan en sus obras (la justicia transicional, la ampliación de la aplicación del derecho humanitario a la lucha contra el crimen organizado, la problemática de la apatridia, la responsabilidad civil por contaminación transfronteriza).

Finding New Meaning in Sabbath Rest

Does the Sabbath have any relevance to contemporary life? Greg Nelson believes the Sabbath is not only relevant but revolutionary. With a passion for turning biblical truths inside out and revealing their impact, Nelson tackles questions like:

How does our Sabbath-keeping make a difference to hurting people and the environment?
What does the Sabbath say about our responsibility to God's creation?
How does a true understanding of God's Sabbath impact how we use it to experience God more completely?

Through dynamic illustrations and the input from a wide variety of contemporary authors, A Touch of Heaven puts forth fresh paradigms for the day of rest that transform it into a powerful tool for church and personal review.

Christians used to say, If something is new, it probably isn't true; and if something is true, it probably isn't new. They believed that the old truth in the Bible was the chief test of spiritual wisdom and Christian maturity.

But times have changed. Novelty is now the measure of the Spirit's leading. Hence we uncritically adopt new methods for church planting and church growth, new views on Creation and other established doctrines, new styles of worship, and new views on music. We also practice new forms of praying and spiritual warfare, embrace new views on marriage, legislate new grounds for divorce and remarriage, push new leadership models on local churches, and agitate new forms of church organization.

Are the arguments biblically sound? Should we take a biblical stand on these contemporary issues?

In Here We Stand, some of the church's most respected thought leaders have addressed these questions in a compelling way.

WINE IN THE BIBLE is designed to help people to develop strong moral convictions needed to resist the social pressure to drink alcoholic beverages. With painstaking research the book compellingly shows that the Bible consistently teaches total abstinence as a divine imperative. This teaching has been obscured by many modern Bible versions which mistakenly translate as be temperate or be sober, some of the clearest apostolic admonitions to be abstinent. A thoughtful reading of this book may well provoke a revolution in the attitude of many Christians toward alcoholic beverages.

WINE IN THE BIBLE is foreworded by three distinguished scholars. One of them is Dr. Robert P. Teachout, Professor of Old Testament at Detroit Baptist Seminary and author of a doctoral dissertation on The Use of Wine in the Old Testament, presented at Dallas Theological Seminary. In his Foreword, Prof. Teachout wrote: Bacchiocchi has done a thorough and convincing job of examining the actual truths of the Biblical teaching on this subject. He has also answered carefully and well the objections of those who disagree with his position. Prof. Stephen Reynolds, one of the translators of the New International Version, and author of two books on the Bible and alcohol, also wrote: I am greatly impressed by the scholarship of WINE IN THE BIBLE which I trust will do much good.
