Resumo(s)
A violência que, durante os primeiros séculos cristãos, de forma localizada, esporádica e quase
aleatória, atingiu os cristãos, motivou, da parte dos intelectuais cristãos da época, uma reação
traduzida na tomada da palavra oral e escrita. Dispomos, assim, de um conjunto significativo
de escritos em defesa dos cristãos dirigidos, retoricamente, às autoridades civis e políticas de
então. Entre estes destaca-se Tertuliano que, nos finais do século II, com a sua obra Apologeticum, interveio, usando todas as “armas” retóricas, em favor dos cristãos.
A sua obra Apologeticum, que tomamos como principal fonte da nossa dissertação, constitui uma
referência incontornável para entendermos o que significou o confronto entre dois “mundos” regidos por valores e critérios muitas vezes em conflito.
Neste trabalho pretendemos analisar o tema da não-violência no Apologeticum. Interessa-nos
sobretudo verificar o teor pacifista da resposta dada por um ilustre porta-voz dos cristãos, num
contexto abertamente polémico e numa cultura em evidente contraste com a nova fé, professada
por cada vez mais aderentes.
The violence that, during the first Christian centuries, in a localized, sporadic, and almost random way, affected the Christians, motivated, on the part of the Christian intellectuals of the time, a reaction translated into the taking of the oral and written word. We thus have at our disposal a significant body of writings in defense of Christians addressed rhetorically to the civil and political authorities of the time. Among these stands out Tertullian who, at the end of the second century, with his work Apologeticum, intervened, using all the rhetorical “weapons” in favor of Christians. His work Apologeticum, which we take as the main source of our dissertation, is an unavoidable reference for understanding what the confrontation between two “worlds” governed by values and criteria often in conflict meant. In this paper we intend to analyze the theme of nonviolence in the Apologeticum. We are especially interested in verifying the pacifist content of the response given by an illustrious spokesman for Christians, in an openly controversial context and in a culture in clear contrast to the new faith, professed by more and more adherents.
