The master thesis Reflection of gospels from the view of choosen feminist theological texts is situated do the context of christian feminist theology, specifically in the framework of feminist theology of liberation. It's focused especially on the texts of feministic protestant theologists Jana Opočenská and Dorothee Solle, mainly on texts which are related to the choosen parts of the gospels. The theoretical part is aimed especially on the theoretical and methodological basics which includes besides others the major concepts of feminist theories of gender stereotypes and the sex-gender system. The attention is also paid to the concepts of feminist theology with main focus to the thesis of relatedness and mutuality exercised in the field of exegesis of Biblical texts, anthropology nad christology.

The analytical part of the thesis is aimed on two concrete moments of gospels and their interpretation through the texts of Jana Opočenská and Dorothee Solle, considering the theoretical and methodological basis. Through the gender focused method of qualitative content analysis is subsequently...

[pt] Um papa do fim do mundo, uma teologia do terceiro mundo e uma Igreja para todo o mundo propõe uma análise da possibilidade para a Igreja do terceiro milênio a partir da eleição de um argentino vindo do fim do mundo como papa, e de sua experiência como sacerdote pós-conciliar. Nesse lugar do qual veio o papa Francisco, as terras da América Latina e do Caribe, também se produziu uma singular teologia ao final do século XX, que refletia as condições sociais, políticas, econômicas e culturais do povo latino-americano: a teologia da libertação. Esta dissertação apresenta uma biografia de Jorge Mario Bergoglio, um panorama histórico da Argentina que recebeu os imigrantes europeus no início do século XX, entre eles a família do futuro papa, e o impacto da escolha do nome Francisco. Na sequência, traz a história do desenvolvimento da teologia no Novo Mundo, que culminou com o surgimento da teologia da libertação, suas principais ideias e, por fim, analisa as propostas eclesiológicas do papa Francisco apresentadas na Evangelii Gaudium, em consonância com as principais temáticas da teologia da libertação, sua defesa dos pobres, explorados e desfavorecidos como projeto de missão da Igreja e, principalmente, sua percepção da necessidade de atualizar a Igreja (retomando as originais propostas do Concílio Vaticano II especialmente concretizadas em Medellín), para um mundo que hoje se descortina plural e crítico. / [en] A pope from the end of the world, a theology of the third world and a Church for the whole world proposes an analysis of the possibility for the third millennium Church as from the election of an Argentinian coming from the end of the world as pope and as of his experience as a post-conciliar priest. In this place where pope Francis came from, the lands of Latin America and the Caribbean, a singular theology also took place at the end of the twentieth century, reflecting the social, political, economic and cultural conditions of the Latin American people: the liberation theology. This dissertation presents a biography of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a historical panorama of Argentina that received European immigrants in the early twentieth century, including the family of the future pope, and the impact of the choice of the name Francisco. It then traces the history of the development of theology in the New World culminating in the emergence of liberation theology and its main ideas. Finally, analyses the ecclesiological proposals of pope Francis presented in the Evangelii Gaudium in accordance with the main themes of the liberation theology, his defense of the poor, the exploited and the disadvantaged people as a missionary project of the Church and, mainly, his perception of the necessity to update the Church (taking up the original proposals of the Second Vatican Council, especially the ones concretised in Medellin) to a world that unveils itself as plural and critical.

Evangelicals have an unquestionable heritage for involvement in the world and its social problems and the Bible provides a basis for a liberative gospel. For the God of the Bible is not only a God of love and peace, but also of justice and he is therefore on the side of the poor, oppressed and suffering. he has given us a spirit of engagement with the world as salt and light and not escapism. As we give serious consideration to the challenges of liberation theologies, we need to hear the voice who calls his people in every age to go out into the lost and lonely world (as he did), in order to live and love, to witness and serve like him and for him and that is what African Evangelicalism is all about. / Systematic Theology and Theological Ethics / M.

The shari‘a, or the inherited legal tradition, has tended to dominate discussions of contemporary Islam. Relatively little attention has been given to the Qur’an, however, despite its importance both in terms of Muslim theology, in which it is understood as the actual Word of God, and of Islamic reformist thought. Far from being marginal, the Qur’an has emerged as a rich resource for theological reflection and sociopolitical action. Specifically, it has become a source of empowerment, speaking to contexts of oppression. This thesis examines the commentaries of four Muslim intellectuals who have expounded the Qur’an as a liberating text – namely, the South African Farid Esack (b. 1956), the Indian Asghar Ali Engineer (b. 1939), the American Amina Wadud (b. 1952) and the Pakistani Asma Barlas (b. 1950) – supplemented by in-depth interviews. In so doing, this study seeks (i) to fill a major gap in the literature by offering the first comprehensive survey and analysis of their readings and (ii) to challenge common portrayals of justice-based exegesis as being an obscure, fundamentalist scripturalism; as being rooted in North America; and as being focussed primarily, even exclusively, on gendered oppression. Indeed, the centring of the Qur’an in Islamic thought, I argue, is an increasingly mainstream practice – a global hermeneutic – as Muslims throughout the world seek answers in scripture to the pressing problems of the present. Furthermore, justice-based exegesis has been holistic, addressing (in addition to patriarchy) poverty and racism, communal violence and imperialism. Liberationist and women’s readings are significant, I conclude, for two reasons. Firstly, they shed new insights into the rise of ‘thematic commentary’ (tafsir mawdu‘i) in Qur’anic exegesis. Secondly, their expressly political character exposes the hegemony of Islamism over our understanding of ‘the political’ and ‘the radical’ in an Islamic context, thereby forcing us to redefine political and radical Islam.

[pt] A Teologia da Criança é o campo de pesquisa que tem como sujeito teológico o ser humano de pouca idade e denuncia o adultocentrismo como estrutura de opressão. O centro de toda construção teológica se estabelece ao redor e a partir da figura da criança. A pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre a experiência de Deus e a valorização da infância, sinalizando a existência de uma ligação estreita entre um e outro. A experiência com o Mistério ganha novos contornos a partir da mística singular das crianças, bem como a infância adquire novas cores a partir da revelação desse Mistério em Jesus Cristo. Os pequeninos são a parábola que as Escrituras utilizam para falar sobre Deus, a vida cristã e os vulneráveis desse mundo, transcendendo assim a razão, a instituição e o consumo como lógica adultocentrica e propondo a mística, a liberdade e a generosidade como alternativa para se fazer como criança. Os adultos podem e devem reconhecer nas crianças um caminho para a experiência real de Deus. / [en] Theology of the child is the research field which has as theological subject the earlier-phases human beings and which denounced the adultcentrism as an oppression structure. The core of all theological construction is established around and from the figure of a child. The research has as its main objective to analyze the relation between experiencing God and the appreciation of childhood, pointing out the existence of a close relationship between them. The experience with Mystery assumes new perspectives through the peculiar, mystic worldview of the children. Also, childhood acquires new colors through the revelation of this Mystery in Jesus Christ. The little ones are the parable which are used by Scriptures to talk about God, Christian life and the vulnerable people of this world, transcending as such the reason, the institution and the consumption as adultcentric logic and proposing the mysticism, freedom and generosity as an alternative to become like children. Adults can and should recognize in children a way to really experiencing God.

Durante os anos 1970, a partir da interpretação da teologia da libertação, D. Pedro Casaldáliga, bispo da Prelazia, surge como figura central das tensões políticas entre a chamada Igreja Popular e a Ditadura Militar, por ocasião da implementação dos grandes latifúndios agro-pecuários no norte do Mato Grosso. A centralidade da idéia de profetismo foi crucial para a atuação de Casaldáliga e o seu projeto político-pastoral na região. Organizada em torno da identidade profética as narrativas de memória/história sobre a Prelazia e o bispo construíram uma cultura católica da libertação em todos os âmbitos da prática religiosa. As contradições e limites da identidade profética da Prelazia e, por fim, a conformação dessa identidade profética diante da mudança do cenário político-social em São Félix do Araguaia nas décadas de 1980 e 1990 são os assuntos abordados aqui / Abstract: This dissertation on Cultural History is a study about the religious signification process occurred in São Félix do Araguaia. During 1970 years, by liberation theology criteria, D. Pedro Casaldáliga, Prelacy bishop¿s, appears like a central figure in the middle of political tension between the called Popular Church and Military Dictatorship, in the moment of large state implementation in the north of Mato Grosso state. The prophecy idea was crucial for Casaldáliga¿s actuation and for his political-pastoral project in the region. Organized around prophetic identity, the memories-histories narratives about the Prelacy and Casaldáliga forged a catholic culture of liberation on various scopes of religious practices. The contradictions and limits of Prelacy¿s prophetic identity and, at the end, the conformation of this prophetic identity up against the change of political-social context in São Félix do Araguaia in the 1980 and 1990 decades are the matters dialed here / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

A pesquisa integrou criticamente, e deu continuidade à investigação realizada no mestrado, que constatou tal mudança paradigmática. Nessa perspectiva, a teologia de L. Boff foi e continua sendo compreendida como uma Teologia Teoantropocósmica. Postula-se, agora, que essa teologia realiza a articulação teológica e praxística entre Teologia da Libertação (TdL) e Teologia do Pluralismo Religioso (TdPR). Antes de 1990/93, apesar de se constatar a abertura dialogal de sua teologia em diversos campos (cristologia cósmica, antropologia, espiritualidade, na visão da trindade e em sua eclesiologia), a centralidade libertadora, suas urgências e mesmo algumas de suas concepções cristológicas, eclesiológicas e antropológicas não permitiram que ela pudesse ser considerada Teologia do Pluralismo Religioso. Como conclusão, defende-se que a teologia de Leonardo Boff, no paradigma ecológico, é uma Teologia Pluralista da Libertação, articulando, portanto, TdL e TdPR. E, dentro dos paradigmas do pluralismo religioso, é categorizada como pluralismo inclusivo teoantropocósmico. Verifica-se também que essa articulação se traduz em práxis: em Diálogo, promotor da Religação, do encontro das religiões, recuperando um cristianismo “universalizável” e postulando o pluralismo de princípio; e em Libertação, através da Dialogação mística, fraterna e ética. Essa dialogação sustenta, fundamenta e promove a ação em seus dois principais desafios: salvaguardar a Terra, em grave crise de sustentabilidade, e garantir a dignidade, a convivência e a paz, lutando pela libertação daqueles que são oprimidos, especialmente os pobres. / The present thesis aims to show that along with the introduction of the ecological paradigm, theological though of Leonardo Boff has been opened to the so called Theology of Religious Pluralism. This research integrates the previous content of Paulo Agostinho Master’s survey which had already pointed out to Leonardo Boff’s paradigm shift. In this way, theology of Leonardo Boff has been interpreted as “Teoanthropocosmic Theology”. The claim here is that this theology has successfully realized practical and theological articulation between Theology of Liberation and Theology of Religious Pluralism. It has also been pointed out that although Theology of Liberation had been opened to dialogue within diverse field like cosmic christology, anthropology, spirituality, trinity understanding and ecclesiology, only after the years of 1990/93 it has started been properly considered as a Theology of Religious Pluralism. This thesis finally claims that Boff’s theology, within ecological paradigm, a “Theology of Liberation and Religious Pluralism” and articulates both Theology of Liberation and Theology of Religious Pluralism. It is also claimed that within Religious Pluralism Paradigm, Boff’s theology could be inserted within the category of “teoantropocosmic inclusive pluralism”. Another claim of the present thesis is that the articulation of “Theology of Liberation” and “Theology of Religious Pluralism” drives us into praxis which takes two complementary directions: the first one is that of dialogue which promotes “re-ligação”, that is to say, the encounter of the variety of world religions, thus recouping the universality of Christianity and postulating the principle of pluralism; the second one is that of Liberation which through mystic, fraternal and ethic “dialogação” sustains and promotes action in this world and provides earth sustainability and makes possible a better world full of peace and human dignity, thus promoting liberation of oppressed human beings, especially poor people.
