Thesis (DTh (Practical Theology and Missiology))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / In the Reformed tradition the autonomy of the local congregation - as the concrete community of people who interpret the Gospel with their words and deeds - as well as the maturity of the ordinary believers, rest precisely in the fact of their knowledge of and in their being formed by, as well as having been brought up by the Gospel, and that they not stay dependent on the clerical office for ever. It was exactly against any form of sacerdotalism that the Reformation aimed their protest, because they saw that that would estrange ordinary believers from their God-given task to take up their office as believers in God’s interpretative community in the world. It is therefore regrettable in the Dutch Reformed Church19 to have to admit that - after so many centuries - the official church has for the greater part still failed its members in this regard, and are still not trusting them enough and engaging them fully as theologians in their own right into the congregation’s discerning process in general, and the sermon making process in particular. It is our belief that the stagnation of the congregation as the primary hermeneutic of the Gospel20 arises to a great extent from the church's inherited style of pastorship as well as it's process of sermonmaking, being solely the responsibility of the all-knowing and all-doing pastor. The pastor centered homiletical situation exclusively holds the dominee responsible for inter alia the whole sermon making process, the exegesis of the Biblical text, the understanding of the message of the Scriptures, to even discerning the will of God for the congregation! This leads the ordinary church members to sit passively and eventually loose their confidence to personally engage with the Scriptures as a whole. Their participation as theologians in any conversation usually ends up in “the sharing of ignorance by well-intentioned but ill-informed people”21. There is still today, to a great extent, a total lack of handling skills of, as well as a wisdom perspective on the Bible as a whole, although many would be most competent in reciting a number of impressive Bible verses. While biblical scholars have moved into a postmodern and post-structuralistic phase, we find that many ordinary members are still stuck in a pre-modern phase, which makes teaching with regard to their equipment as interpretative community extremely difficult. ...

This expression, regarded by the Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman liquid Modernity and works While liquids, translates one of the great challenges to make satisfying about listening. A pedagogical perspective, is reflected, first, about the bug as liturgical principle operating in the human person-in physiological and metaphorical sense, until you reach the Shema Israel (Dt 4.6) and Fides ex auditu (Rm 10.17) paulino. Hence if paves the way for weights about the word of God heard in the liturgy, with biblical-theological grounds of listening to the word of God in the law, in some assemblies of the people of Israel, to the understanding of listening to the word of God in the liturgical assemblies today encourages the Ecumenical Council Vatican II, Sacrosanctum Concilium and constitutions Dei Verbum, without losing sight of some fathers of the Church and the Magisterium. On this basis, some challenges and lights are pointed to the need for a culture of listening, so that, in the silence of words, the word of God proclaimed in the liturgy, has primacy and be experienced in a practical way. For that, in modern society, in which live the culture of noises, you should focus on celebrating space as environment of silence and listening. Visa so awakening in the heart of the listener, through gestures and words, the sacramental dimension of Scripture in the liturgy, in a dynamic perspective, ritual, and experiential mystagogical pedagogical, leading to your full effectiveness / A presente pesquisa objetiva apresentar alguns elementos de profunda relevância para melhor compreender a importância da escuta da Palavra de Deus proclamada na liturgia, “em tempos líquidos”. Esta expressão, conceituada pelo sociólogo polonês Zygmunt Bauman nas obras “Modernidade líquida” e “Tempos líquidos”, traduz um dos grandes desafios atuais para tornar satisfatória tal escuta. Numa perspectiva pedagógica, reflete-se, primeiramente, sobre a escuta como princípio litúrgico-operativo na pessoa humana, no sentido fisiológico e metafórico, até chegar ao Shemá Israel (Dt 4,6) e ao Fides ex auditu (Rm 10,17) paulino. Daí se abre caminho para ponderações acerca da Palavra de Deus escutada na liturgia, com fundamentação bíblico-teológica da escuta da Palavra de Deus na Lei, em algumas assembleias do povo de Israel, até chegar à compreensão da escuta da Palavra de Deus nas assembleias litúrgicas hoje, como incentiva o Concílio Ecumênico Vaticano II, nas Constituições Sacrosanctum Concilium e Dei Verbum, sem perder de vista alguns Padres da Igreja e o Magistério. Com base nisso, alguns desafios e luzes são apontados sobre a necessidade de uma cultura do ouvir, para que, no silêncio das palavras, a Palavra de Deus, proclamada na liturgia, tenha primazia e seja vivenciada de forma prática. Para isso, na sociedade moderna, em que se vive a cultura dos ruídos, deve-se privilegiar o espaço celebrativo como ambiente do silêncio e da escuta. Visa assim despertar no coração do ouvinte, por meio de gestos e palavras, a dimensão sacramental das Sagradas Escrituras na liturgia, numa perspectiva dinâmica, ritual, pedagógica, mistagógica e vivencial da Palavra, levando à sua plena eficácia
