Abstract(s)
Nos escritos A Teodoro, São João Crisóstomo dirige um veemente apelo à conversão na
pessoa de um monge que abandonou a prática da vida monástica pouco tempo depois de ter
professado. Neste contexto e a pretexto, desenvolve os temas fundamentais da espiritualidade
monástica e cristã, já que para Crisóstomo a exigência evangélica é para todos. Predomina,
neste apelo, uma imagem de Deus sumamente misericordioso disposto a acolher sempre de
novo o pecador e, ao mesmo tempo, uma proposta de radicalidade evangélica como ideal
sempre em aberto.
O objetivo desta dissertação é perceber como o “caso sério” de Teodoro se torna
paradigma e pretexto de uma proposta espiritual inspirada no Evangelho e, como tal, válida
ainda hoje. Para isso, tivemos de nos focar no pensamento de São João Crisóstomo,
contextualizando-o à luz dos ideais da vida monástica do século IV.
