Un momento poco favorable, en definitiva, para la acogida del extranjero, que era visto como un elemento contaminante y distorsionador,...

Dice Jesús: Si me amáis, guardaréis mis mandamientos. Pero... ¿qué mandamientos son esos?
La mayoría de los cristianos respondería que los famosos Diez Mandamientos. Sin embargo, estos los dio Moisés al pueblo de Israel muchos cientos de años antes de Cristo.

In Philosophy: The Quest for Truth and Meaning, Andrew Beards introduces readers to some key philosophical ideas 'the mind's ability to know truth and reality, metaphysics, ethics, and questioning life's ultimate purpose 'in order to...
