Nombrado MEJOR LIBRO DE DEPORTES DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS por la revista Sports Illustrateden 2002, La Dulce Ciencia recopila en un único e inolvidable volumen las clásicas piezas del periodista del New Yorker A.J. Liebling sobre boxeo, esa "Dulce Ciencia de los Moratones".A través de sus páginas, Liebling nos ofrece un retrato animado e idiosincrásico del universo pugilístico de principios de la década de 1950 —la época dorada del boxeo estadounidense—, un mundillo que incluye a personajes de todo tipo: desde representantes jactanciosos hasta entrenadores veteranos y segundos astutos y, cómo no, a los luchadores mismos: figuras de la talla de Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson o Archie Moore, al que definió como "un virtuoso de anacrónica perfección". Sin embargo, sus geniales escritos van mucho más allá de la mera crónica deportiva. Con su inconfundible estilo, Liebling siempre busca la historia humana detrás de la pelea y evoca la tensión y la atmósfera en el estadio tan nítidamente como lo que sucede en el ring, capturando así este feroz arte como nadie lo había hecho antes. Considerado el autor que mejor supo retratar el ambiente pugilístico, en una ocasión afirmó: "El boxeador, como el escritor, debe estar solo".

The biblical teaching about the deity of Christ is a precious truth and foundational to the Christian faith. It has been called "the most distinctively Christian doctrine of all"—one that must be taught and preserved. With this in mind, Robert Peterson, Christopher Morgan, Andreas Köstenberger, Steve Wellum, Gerald Bray, Alan Gomes, Ray Ortlund Jr., Stephen Nichols, and J. Nelson Jennings have collaborated to develop a theology of Christ's divinity across multiple disciplines. Combining first-rate evangelical scholarship with rich application, their work examines this central doctrine from contemporary, historical, biblical, systematic, apologetic, and missional perspectives. This accessible volume—the third in the noted Theology in Community series—guides readers to the significance of Christ's deity across the Old and New Testaments, in Johannine literature, in popular culture and church history, and among cults and world religions. With its keen theological insight and straightforward application, this volume will give pastors, students, and educated readers a clear and useful treatment of the deity of Christ.
