Abstract(s)
«Lamentamos um mundo sem Deus. Não será porque temos pensado demasiado Deus
sem o mundo?». Esta afirmação de Gesché é particularmente esclarecedora da sua interpretação
teológica do cosmos e de como este tem sido pensado de forma isolada da divindade que o
criou. O cosmos é uma instância independente de Deus e do Homem, mas, simultaneamente,
complementar. Desta complementaridade surgem as seguintes interrogações: Que lugar
desempenha o cosmos no conhecimento de Deus e do próprio Homem? Que importância
assumem a conservação e o cuidado na teologia da criação?
Diante do crescente cuidado humano pela natureza, na presente dissertação pretende-se
aprofundar a leitura teologal do cosmos elaborada por Gesché e, a partir dela, retirar
consequências para o sentido da preservação do cosmos confiado ao ser humano. Preservação
que vai para além do simples adorno ou pensamento ambientalista, para assumir implicações
na realização vocacional do ser humano, isto é, tornar-se semelhante a Deus.
“We mourn a world without God. Could it be that we may have been thinking too much about God without the world?”. This sentence from Gesché is particularly enlightening of his theological interpretation of the cosmos and of how it has been thought of in an isolated way from the divinity that created it. The cosmos is an independent instance from God and Man, but simultaneously, complementary. From this complementarity the following questions rise: What place does the cosmos have in the knowledge of God and Man himself? What importance do conservation and care have in the theology of creation? Faced with the need for a growing human care for nature, the present dissertation intendeds to deepen the theological reading of the cosmos formulated by Gesché and, from it, take consequences for the sense of preservation of the cosmos entrusted to Humankind. Preservation that goes beyond the simple environmentalist thought, to assume implications in the vocational fulfilment of the humankind, meaning, becoming similar to God.
