• Sommario/riassunto: A much-overlooked aspect of the Gospel of Matthew is the theme of heaven and earth. Rather than being a reverential circumlocution for God, ‘heaven’ in Matthew is part of a highly developed discourse of heaven and earth language. Matthew’s idiolectic way of using heaven language consists of four aspects: 1) a distinction in meaning between singular and plural forms of ouranos ; 2) frequent use of the heaven and earth word pair; 3) regular reference to the Father in heaven; and 4) the recurrent use of the Matthean expression, kingdom of heaven. This book examines the historical precedents for each of these aspects and shows in Matthew how they serve one overriding theological purpose: to highlight the tension that currently exists between heaven and earth or God and humanity, while looking forward to its eschatological resolution.

• Sommario/riassunto: Si hay un drama humano íntimamente ligado a la guerra y la muerte, es el exilio al que siempre se ve arrojado el exiliado en contra de su voluntad, nunca voluntariamente. Nadie abandona por simple espíritu de aventura, de conocimiento o de descubrimiento, su país o su familia o a sus más próximos allegados sino impelido por razones políticas o económicas bien concretas y forzado por una situación tan destructiva y traumática como una guerra civil y sus inmediatas consecuencias. La vida humana en una situación límite siempre es una fuente inagotable de conocimiento, que nos fuerza a plantearnos muchas preguntas y a tratar de responderlas. En este libro encontrarán una amplia gavilla de estudios académicos realizados desde diversos enfoques pluridisciplinares en los que esperamos que el lector encuentre, sino respuestas concretas y precisas a su curiosidad, intereses e inquietudes, sí al menos una sólida base de información y reflexión a partir de la cual poder seguir adentrándonos en el doloroso y ejemplarizante drama de los exilios en el mundo contemporáneo.
