Böcker av Osvaldo D Vena

Ensayos autoficciones y cuentos. Un libro que compendia tres géneros literarios desde el espacio de la brevedad y la exploración de significados que abren al lector un impensado margen de información, descubrimiento y posibilidad de re - crear al propio autor que posee cada texto. Ensayos: ofrece una variedad simple y curiosa de circunstancias y acciones que, por orden natural, desfilan casi de cotidiano en la realidad que incorporan, a las que el autor, pone bajo el foco de la observación y el análisis, aquellos tintes y rasgos que sorprenden con asombros y extrañezas en las que jamás nos detuvimos. Como ejemplo: Me explico, Los inmigrantes, La mesa y el escritorio, El amor. Autoficciones: un fascinante cruce en el cual, la crónica y el cuento se asocian y las historias deslizan su pintoresquismo y conflictos donde nada es lo que se espera o a la inversa, y de pronto, una vuelta imprevista de las circunstancias y sus actores producen derivas impensadas que atrapan. Basta con recorrer La muerte en mi pueblo, El altillo o De Chile con amor. Cuentos: distraen y atrapan del principio hasta el fin. Escenarios y personajes en atmósferas donde juegan en medio de dudas, suspenso, desasosiego, interrogación, tragedia, amor y hasta un poquito de ciencia ficción en Tornillo y Sol de repuesto, o bien, con un guiño apenas perceptible que da vueltas por ellas con un toque fantástico lo que lleva a la lectura sin pausa, tal el caso de: Mater suprema o Charla de café.

Description:That Jesus started his career as a disciple of John the Baptist is an idea that has gained almost universal recognition in the scholarly world. His coming from Galilee to be baptized by John in the river Jordan is the most compelling proof of Jesus' subordination to John. But quickly after John was executed Jesus started his own career, not as a disciple anymore, but as a teacher in his own right. In this book Osvaldo Vena makes the claim that throughout his ministry Jesus remained a disciple, not of John, but of a higher power, God, and God's kingdom. Thus, Jesus called men and women to join him as co-disciples as he went about proclaiming the nearness of the kingdom through word and action.In this work Vena contends that in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is presented as a prototype of true and faithful discipleship, a model to be followed and imitated by ancient as well as contemporary believers. This presentation amounts to an emerging Christology espoused by the early Markan community on the verge of destruction from outside forces, specifically the Jewish-Roman war, as well as internal divisions resulting from struggles for power in the community.
