Jesús entre dioses seculares: Las afirmaciones contraculturales de Cristo

by Vince Vitale, Zacharias Ravi

Si alguien te pregunta "¿Qué da sentido a nuestra vida?", ¿qué le responderías? A lo largo de la historia, el ser humano ha intentado responder a esa pregunta fundamental de muchas maneras distintas. ¿Cuántas filosofías, creencias e -ismos podrías mencionar? Ravi y Vince hacen un viaje a través de muchos de los -ismos con los que convivimos, desgranando las implicaciones que cada uno de ellos tiene para nuestro día a día. ¿Qué nos aporta el ateísmo cuando nos preguntamos sobre el sentido de la vida? ¿Qué nos aporta el hedonismo cuando lo estamos pasando mal? ¿Qué nos aporta el humanismo cuando las noticias que vemos o leemos a diario nos hacen perder la confianza en el ser humano? ¿Qué nos aporta el relativismo cuando las naciones más democráticas están empezando a atentar contra los derechos fundamentales?En medio de todas esas filosofías, este libro —profundo y ameno a la vez— nos presenta a una persona, Jesús, que hizo las afirmaciones más contraculturales que jamás hayas escuchado. Y lo hace desgranando las implicaciones, la coherencia, la relevancia y el poder transformador de cada una de sus afirmaciones.

About the author

Vince Vitale is Director of the Zacharias Institute. He was educated at Princeton University and the University of Oxford, and he taught philosophy of religion and served as a faculty member at both of these universities. It was during his undergraduate studies in philosophy at Princeton that Vince took an unexpected journey from skeptic to evangelist. He then completed masters and PhD studies at Oxford, receiving a Daniel M. Sachs Graduating Scholarship (which was awarded annually to one graduating Princetonian) and a Clarendon Scholarship (supported by Oxford University Press).

While researching at Oxford, Vince developed a new response to the problem of evil. This response—termed the Non-Identity Defense—is discussed in Vince and Ravi Zacharias’s book Why Suffering?: Finding Meaning and Comfort When Life Doesn’t Make Sense. In 2017, Vince and Ravi released a second co-authored book, Jesus Among Secular Gods: The Countercultural Claims of Christ. For his work on Søren Kierkegaard, Inter-Varsity Press and Tyndale House awarded Vince the title IVP Young Philosopher of Religion of the Year 2013.

Vince also has an interest in the intersection of faith and sport. He played varsity soccer at Princeton, was a “double Blue” at Oxford (competing for the university in soccer and boxing), and has traveled with Athletes in Action mission teams to four continents. While teaching at Princeton, Vince served as Faculty Director of the Athletes in Action ministry on campus.

Vince has commended the Christian faith on the campuses of many universities, including UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, Princeton, Oxford, and Cambridge. This past year he had the privilege of speaking at Google Headquarters and Passion City Church.

Vince is incredibly grateful to be married to Jo, who also works with RZIM as the Dean of Studies for the Zacharias Institute.
