- Reverberações da saudade: uma exploração da identidade cultural galega na revista Nós (1920–1935)Publication . Angélico, José PedroThis article reflects on the appropriation of saudade (longing) as a cultural and identity element in the Nós journal, during the period between 1920 and 1935. By relating the Galician and Portuguese contexts, this study discerns how saudade has become a symbolic capital of considerable impact. In this regard, the research emphasises the influence of saudade on both literature and the formation of a Galician cultural identity, highlighting the importance of Nós as a vehicle for political and aesthetic expression.
- A abertura metafísica da saudade no pensamento de António de MagalhãesPublication . Angélico, José PedroSe o ambiente galaico-lusitano da saudade permite dizê-la como mistério de amor e dor, não distante anda a consideração de Leonardo Coimbra, de onde bebe inspiração António Dias de Magalhães, S.J. Mas se o filósofo portuense deu asas filosóficas à saudade, foi no entanto o jesuíta, seu discípulo, que lhe intuiu a trajetória do seu voo metafísico, na convergência de uma tradição de experiência reflexiva com a filosofia perene e, a seu modo, com a profunda reflexão do galego Ramón Piñeiro López.

- Poetry as a kenotic exercise in José Tolentino Mendonça’s ‘The days of job’Publication . Boas, Alex VillasThis article explores the intersection of theology, literature and spirituality in José Tolentino Mendonça’s The Days of Job, focusing on poetry as a kenotic exercise of self-emptying (kenosis). By engaging with biblical literature, particularly the Book of Job, Mendonça reimagines poetic language as a space of vulnerability and transformation that resists ideological rigidity and fosters ethical openness. The study explores how Mendonça’s poetics resonates with Michel de Certeau’s heterology, Michel Foucault’s notion of political spirituality, and Giorgio Agamben’s critique of the loss of poiesis in modernity. In dialogue with patristic interpretations of Job (Gregory the Great, Basil of Caesarea) as well as contemporary philosophical readings (Fredric Jameson, Antonio Negri), this work argues that Mendonça’s poetry enacts a theological aesthetics of resistance in which language becomes an instrument of spiritual and ethical reconfiguration. In this framework, poetic expression is not merely an aesthetic exercise, but a radical way of inhabiting suffering, silence and longing, echoing Job’s existential questioning as a source of meaning and creative resilience.
- Christian memory in contemporary music creation: tensions and transitionsPublication . Teixeira, AlfredoAfter a period in which secularisation as an explanatory model – linear and teleological – became hegemonic in the social sciences, it became necessary to find other ways of accessing the sites of religious reconfiguration in the context of multiple modernities. In this situation, it has become crucial to bring the scientific gaze, at different scales, closer to the places where new relationships between the sphere of the religious and other social worlds are established, mediated by the displacements of the sacred. This article explores contemporary musical creation as a laboratory for discovering these new configurations.
- A arte como transcendência imanente: para uma leitura teológica de GadamerPublication . Duque, João ManuelO artigo pretende trabalhar a relação entre religião, teologia e arte. Para o efeito, explora a filosofia da arte de Gadamer que permite, no contexto e para além da sua filosofia hermenêutica, compreender a dimensão da alteridade presente em todo o fenômeno artístico. Tendo em conta essa categoria, estabelece-se uma relação com categorias teológicas que permitem uma aproximação das duas áreas. Essa aproximação terá consequências sobre a noção de teologia, assim como sobre a contextualização desta relação no campo específico da liturgia.
- A poesia como exercício kenótico em “Os dias de Job” de José Tolentino MendonçaPublication . Boas, Alex VillasThis article examines how José Tolentino Mendonça's poem 'The Days of Job' reflects a kenotic spiritual exercise, explored from different angles, namely theology, literature and philosophy, to address human vulnerability and dignity. In this sense, the text explores the poetic and political dimensions of spirituality from the intersection between the theoretical references of Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau and Giorgio Agamben. In Tolentino's poetics, Job is interpreted as an emblematic figure who transcends his biblical dimension and emerges as a metaphor for creative resilience and ethical struggle in times of crisis. Poetry is presented as an anagogic way of rediscovering the indelible beauty of life even in the most adverse circumstances, promo- ting a spirituality that resists the logic of discard and reinvents ways of inhabiting the world.
- Spirit, church and creation: systemic horizons of theology in MoltmannPublication . Betim, Luciano; Macaneiro, MarcialIn this article, the authors aim to revisit the main themes of Jürgen Moltmann's theology. Born in 1926, Moltmann was one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century. Author of a vast textual production, he left his mark on contemporary theology. Moltmann's influence is noticeable not only in historic Protestantism, but also in Catholic academia and other Christian traditions. What are the main elements and contributions of Moltmann's theology to the Christian church? We seek to dialogue with his theology of hope, his eschatology, his ecclesiological outlook, his ecological concern and his pneumatology. The methodology adopted is literature review.
- Secularization or revival, polarization or convergence? An assessment of trends in the religiosity of young adults in twenty-first-century EuropePublication . Coutinho, José Pereira; Burkimsher, Marion; Clements, BenIn this article we analyze trends and differentials in religiosity by Christian denomination: Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox. Combining six measures of religiosity used in the European Values Study, we categorized young adult respondents as “religious,” “fuzzy,” or “secular.” We found that, in the most secular countries, the “religious” proportion has remained stable over recent decades; however, there has been a concurrent growth in the “secular” proportion—hence a shrinking of the “fuzzy” middle group. A postcommunist revival has continued in some Orthodox countries but abated elsewhere, while Catholic countries have shown greater declines than already highly secularized Protestant countries.
- The task of an archaeo-genealogy of theological knowledge: between self-referentiality and public theologyPublication . Boas, Alex Villas; Candiotto, CésarThis article addresses the epistemic and political problem of self-referentiality in theology within the context of post-secular societies as a demand for public relevance of faculties of theology within the 21st-century university. It focuses on the epistemological emergence of public theology as a distinct knowledge, such as human rights, and ecological thinking, contributing to the public mission of knowledge production and interdisciplinary engagement. This study applies Michel Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical methods in dialogue with Michel de Certeau’s insights into the archaeology of religious practices through a multi-layered analytical approach, including archaeology of knowledge, apparatuses of power, pastoral government, and spirituality as a genealogy of ethics. As a result of the analysis, it examines the historical conditions of possibility for the emergence of a public theology and how it needs to be thought synchronously with other formations of knowledge, allowing theology to move beyond its self-referential model of approaching dogma and the social practices derived from it. This article concludes programmatically that the development of public theology requires an epistemological reconfiguration to displace its self-referentiality through critical engagement with a public rationality framework as an essential task for the public relevance and contribution of theology within contemporary universities and plural societies.
