El Jesús de la Historia con los ojos de hoy

Se desarrollan en la conferencia los elementos de consenso y disenso de la historiografía contemporánea relativos a la figura histórica de Jesús de Nazaret, que poco tiene que ver con la construcción idealizada por parte de la cristología eclesiástica. Reafirmando su convicción en la historicidad del personaje, ha destacado como que no hay consenso en si era realmente un nuevo profeta, un sanador, un visionario, un agitador político o cuál era el alcance del mensaje de la venida del reino de Dios.Universidad de Málaga.

Once again on Petrine «Great Church»

Usualmente, de modo especial en círculos de investigación confesionales, se atribuye la creación del Nuevo Testamento y la unificación del abigarrado panorama de los diversos cristianismos de los primeros momentos a la existencia de una «Gran Iglesia unificada y unificante», agrupada bajo la égida de Pedro. El artículo cuestiona la existencia de tal comunidad/iglesia y sostiene con cuatro argumentos que la única iglesia de los primeros momentos, unificada y unificante, fue la paulina. Esta postura se fundamenta en el análisis del Nuevo Testamento y tres argumentos principales.The creation of the New Testament, and also the unification of the variegated panorama of the diverse theological trends in the early Christian times, is ordinarily attributed within the confessional New Testament research circles to the existence of a "Great unified and ‘unifying’ Church", grouped under the aegis of Peter. This article discusses the real existence of such a Church, and holds that the only ‘unified and unifying Church’ of the first Christian moments was the Pauline one. This contention is supported by the analysis of the New Testament as a whole and three other main arguments

Treatment with tocilizumab or corticosteroids for COVID-19 patients with hyperinflammatory state: a multicentre cohort study (SAM-COVID-19)

Objectives: The objective of this study was to estimate the association between tocilizumab or corticosteroids and the risk of intubation or death in patients with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) with a hyperinflammatory state according to clinical and laboratory parameters. Methods: A cohort study was performed in 60 Spanish hospitals including 778 patients with COVID-19 and clinical and laboratory data indicative of a hyperinflammatory state. Treatment was mainly with tocilizumab, an intermediate-high dose of corticosteroids (IHDC), a pulse dose of corticosteroids (PDC), combination therapy, or no treatment. Primary outcome was intubation or death; follow-up was 21 days. Propensity score-adjusted estimations using Cox regression (logistic regression if needed) were calculated. Propensity scores were used as confounders, matching variables and for the inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTWs). Results: In all, 88, 117, 78 and 151 patients treated with tocilizumab, IHDC, PDC, and combination therapy, respectively, were compared with 344 untreated patients. The primary endpoint occurred in 10 (11.4%), 27 (23.1%), 12 (15.4%), 40 (25.6%) and 69 (21.1%), respectively. The IPTW-based hazard ratios (odds ratio for combination therapy) for the primary endpoint were 0.32 (95%CI 0.22-0.47; p < 0.001) for tocilizumab, 0.82 (0.71-1.30; p 0.82) for IHDC, 0.61 (0.43-0.86; p 0.006) for PDC, and 1.17 (0.86-1.58; p 0.30) for combination therapy. Other applications of the propensity score provided similar results, but were not significant for PDC. Tocilizumab was also associated with lower hazard of death alone in IPTW analysis (0.07; 0.02-0.17; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Tocilizumab might be useful in COVID-19 patients with a hyperinflammatory state and should be prioritized for randomized trials in this situatio

Nota crítica a Antiq. IV 118 de Flavio Josefo

In this text the author proposes to read κεκινημένος instead of νενικημένος printed by B. Niese. Although the former reading is a lectio facilior it must be selected because, a) is a terminus technicus of the Hellenic tradition on mantic inspiration; b) Josephus is inserted in this tradition. The proposed reading fits very well with Josephus’ eclectic ideas on inspiration.No disponible
