Este trabalho constitui um estudo acerca das estratégias de poder usadas, no decorrer da história, pela religião judaico-cristã numa visão sociopolítica, histórico-crítica e teológica, discorrendo do tribalismo bíblico ao período capitalista, momento atual, onde se percebe a necessidade de se compreender como a religião deve se comprometer com os pobres. Observa-se que a dimensão pública da vida religiosa tem se restringido à crença individual, rituais pessoais e compromissos particularizados centrados em benefícios próprios. Assim, o cristianismo tem apresentado características de fórum íntimo. Com o olhar nesse contexto visivelmente secular, examinamos como a religião deve se posicionar e quais compromissos pode assumir que contemplem os marginalizados. A proposta é conhecer as estratégias de poder usadas no decorrer da história pela religião judaico-cristã com intenção de perpetuar-se no comando; identificar historicamente a maneira oportuna como se submeteu e subjugou-se ao poder opressor para se manter; apresentar, a partir da Teologia da Libertação, os compromissos que essa religião deve assumir a partir dos pobres, com os pobres, mas para todos. / This work is a study about power strategies used throughout the history of the Judaic-Christian religion in a socio-political, critic-historical, theological vision, from the Biblical tribalism period, to the capitalistic period, the nowadays reality, in which one perceives the necessity of a religion committed to the poor. It can be observed that the public dimension of religious life has been restricted to individual beliefs, personal rituals and private activities, focused on each persons gains and benefits. As such Christianity has personal characteristics. Viewing from this context, obviously secular, we examine how religion should position itself and what activities it should assume that would favor those on the margin of society .The proposal is to know which power strategies were used historically by the Judaic-Christian religion, with the intention of remaining in power, and identify historically the opportune way to maintain the oppressor in power; present through Theology of Liberation ( Teologia da Libertação), the commitment this religion should alongside the poor and all other persons.

This research regarding power/knowledge abuse within the church was conducted within the postmodern social construction discourse and in the context of narrative therapy, feminist theology and practical theology. It presents a chronicle of five individuals who experienced abuse within their congregations. It reflects on the co-authoring journey of these five individuals personally and within the context of the narrative group. As part of the narrative group they came to re-author their lives around what they had experienced regarding abuse within their churches. Together they challenged those dominant structures that are so often hidden just below `sacred' tradition. In conclusion the five individuals experienced a renaissance within themselves and their personal theology of God and His dealings within the church. This renaissance has led them to seek out others who have experienced this form of abuse and to give them the hope that they discovered together. / Practical Theology / M. Th.
