Suspeitas e reflexões filosóficas em torno da crise da religião [Suspicions and Philosophical Reflections on Religion's Crisis]

Abstract

"The author recognizes herself as active participant in the problem of the crisis of religion, being this not an object of study, but an ailing rebirth of religion from more creative and present sources. She states that the underlying issue present in the crisis of religions is of a philosophical nature, breaking it down in various elements: a new understanding of the human being, our double dimension – nature beings and cultural beings-, the need to go beyond a Christian universality, the decentralisation of power, the Bible as fallible word, the inadequacy of the present theological education, a comeback to small communities of meaning, the consideration of Christianity as humanism, as well as the acceptance of pluralism and diversity."
