Sobre IBD

The most important question of all time is, 'Does God or a supreme being or entity of some kind actually exist.' And if so what is our relationship to Him, Her or It? Can God be found in the church or is a 'personal experience' necessary? Is there then, a just and beneficent God, or is He a capricious being favoring some and not others? Is there a divine plan or is everything random? Even the most ardent secularists admit that there must have been an incredible alignment of circumstances and events, enabling life as we know it to form and exist. The fantastic design and function of the human body, alone, points to an amazing creation, whether we arrived at our present state through evolution or otherwise. Are we mortal beings or spiritual, or a combination of both? And what exactly does it mean to be spiritual? Did He give us free will? What about life after death? Is there an absolute good God as millions believe or is He of our own invention, a necessary myth to give us hope and purpose, to help us through this often difficult and painful world? Is there truth to be learned or is it mainly a matter of faith? Are these questions unanswerable and the idea of God forever incomprehensible? These and other questions, thinking persons have wrestled with for centuries. Herein are selected quotations from notable persons throughout history on the subject of God, religion, spirituality, afterlife and ethics. They are quotes from all points of view, believers, nonbelievers and agnostics. The reader may discover renewed confidence in her own beliefs or disbeliefs, or one might, as Emerson and Goethe have suggested, fashion one’s own personal bible or religion, based on one’s own ideas of what is true. It is my hope that through some of these quotations, uttered by thinking, questioning people throughout history, the door to the greatest mystery of all time may be opened a c

    C. Paul Burnham / CPaul Burnham
    The Gospel of John was long assumed to be the work of an eyewitness, usually identified as John, son of Zebedee. More recently, many have judged it the unhistorical product of a ''Johannine community.'' Reconsideration by Richard Bauckham has suggested that the author was a Jerusalem disciple who housed the ''Last Supper.'' This book explores the possibility that he was present...

    del mayor guitarrista de la historia del tango. Con solo percibir el empleo del plectro (la llamada púa de guitarra en nuestro canyengue) descubrimos un sonido y estilo tan particular que terminó por deslumbrar a todos. Pero si decimos “bastaría”, en potencial, es que nos debemos mucho más: suele decirse del gran Aníbal Troilo que su música y sus orquestas son la gran marca de ...

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...

    George W. Loomis
    In 1759, the court of the Italian Duchy of Parma adopted the inspiration of cultural creators who recommended a reform of Italian opera along French lines. These writers favored combining Italian-style music with the wider range of musical genres and scenic variety of French opera. As the music critic and commentator George W. Loomis shows in this groundbreaking volume, the you...

For more than five decades, adaptations of his plays, stories, and novels dominated movie theaters and, later, television screens. More than ninety individual works were filmed, and for ma...
