It was the conviction of the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) that the reservation of priestly ordination to men is intrinsically connected to the significance of the incarnation of Christ as a male.

This is the first in-depth guide to global community psychology research and practice, history and development, theories and innovations, presented in one field-defining volume.

Aquest volum recull els dinou textos que es presentaren a les Jornades Internacionals Lul·lianes «Ramon Llull al Segle XXI», celebrades a Palma durant els dies 1, 2 i 3 d’abril de 2004 i que comptaren amb l’aportació d’investigadors d’arreu, que difongueren els seus treballs de recerca més recents: què diu Ramon Llull sobre el sexe, la geometria o la quadratura del cercle, les variacions entorn del concepte lul·lià de «matèria» o l’aportació d’un nou manuscrit lul·lista són algunes de les propostes incloses. Les presentam seguint la divisió de «conferència inaugural i de clausura», «ponències» i comunicacions» respectant l’ordre alfabètic dels cognoms dels autors. L’abril de 2004 feia tot just un any que la recuperada Càtedra Ramon Llull havia iniciat la tasca de difusió de la vida i obra del savi mallorquí (1232-1316). Després d’una trentena llarga d’anys, les Jornades suposaren que Mallorca fos novament seu internacional de projecció lul·liana, la plataforma per difondre els estudis sobre Ramon Llull, així com la vida i obra del pensador medieval.
