Abstract(s)
A passagem de 1 Cor 1,25 tem despertado, tanto ao longo dos séculos, como no presente, o mesmo interminável assombro. O apóstolo afronta ali nada mais nada menos que o desconcertante tema da fragilidade de Deus. E fá-lo de uma maneira desafiadora, exigente e inesquecível, mergulhando o leitor num agitado oceano de perguntas. Mas como veremos, este tópico da fragilidade de Deus ganha na visão de Paulo um carácter programático. O conteúdo de 1 Cor 1,25 põe em marcha uma verdadeira “conversão da imaginação”, não só porque critica e desmantela o quadro convencional dos valores dominantes, mas porque oferece uma nova hermenêutica para a abordagem do mundo e da existência.
For many centuries as well as in the present, the passage in 1 Cor 1,25 has always aroused the same endless sense of wonder. There the apostle confronts nothing more nor less than the disconcerting theme of God’s fragility. And he does so in a manner that is challenging, demanding and unforgettable, immersing the reader in an agitated ocean of questions. As we shall see, in Paul’s view this question of God’s fragility gains a programmatic character. The contents of 1 Cor 1,25 sets in motion a veritable ‘conversion of the imagination’, not only because it criticises and dismantles the conventional framework of dominant values, but because it offers a new hermeneutic for approaching the world and existence.
