Abstract(s)
Procuraremos identificar neste artigo de que forma a poesia de José Tolentino Mendonça concilia os pressupostos teológicos da sua experiência religiosa cristã católica com a arte literária enquanto expressão da sua experiência mística. Numa época que vive o desafio da superação dos antagonismos entre ciência e religião, razão e fé, teologia e espiritualidade, podemos encontrar na teopoética deste autor a manifestação de uma experiência estética que traduz o acolhimento do mistério da vida divina na condição paradoxal do mundo finito. O desejo de Deus não é saciado pela voz estridente de uma intervenção arrebatadora, mas pelo silêncio despojado de uma presença inefável e recriadora. A partir deste novo olhar, introduz a sua obra num diálogo fecundo com a cultura contemporânea sequiosa de benevolente serenidade e paz. O Deus de Tolentino manifesta-se na luz e nas trevas como doador de sentido e de amor e não como juiz ou cobrador de impostos.

From this new perspective, he introduces his work into a fruitful dialogue with contemporary culture thirsty for benevolent serenity and peace. Tolentino’s God manifests himself in light and darkness as a giver of meaning and love and not as a judge or tax collector.
