Full textThomas Chalmers, Presbyterian minister, (1780-1847), fought against pauperism and irreligion in urban Scotland during the Industrial Revolution. Because of the dreadful economic and social conditions, he revived the parochial ideal of John Knox in order to found a Godly Commonwealth. The sources of inspirations are the 16th and 17th century social Calvinist ideas which were expounded in the major documents of the European Reformations such as The First Book pf Discipline (1560), the Second Book of Discipline (1578) and the Westminster Confession of Faith (1647). This Calvinist organization was aimed at reforming society so as religion could penetrate all aspects of social, political and economical life. Chalmers took over the ideal to create a Godly Commonwealth in which he could transform members of society into a “New man” within a universal Church. He organized a new educational system within a traditional parish system. First, I will study the originality of his parochial instruction system in the Presbyterian tradition. Secondly, I will analyse the impact of his academic reforms in the definition of a pastoral theology. Finally, I will show how the success of his reforms depended upon the complex relationship between Church and State. In 1843, the foundation of the Free Church of Scotland challenged the alliance. However, it was an opportunity for Chalmers to carry on his mission of a Godly Commonwealth

This dissertation investigates the historical and contextual events involved in the process of implantation of Fluminense Evangelical Church, that cul-minate in the establishment of the 28 Articles of the Short Exposition of the Christianity Fundamental Doctrines. It was hypothesized that this declaration of faith has been created under the influence of The Westminster Confes-sion of Faith, main symbol of faith of the Scottish Presbyterianism, of which Robert Reid Kalley was part. In this aspect, this study aims to identify theo-logical-doctrinaire similarities and displacements that permeate the 28 Arti-cles, through a comparative study with The Westminster Confession of Faith. As theoretical-methodological referential it was used the concept of history of religious mentalities, as a strategy for identification of common doctrines believed and practiced in the daily life of different societies and contexts. The first chapter presents historical and contextual elements of the institu-tionalization of the Fluminense Evangelical Church and the 28 Articles. The second chapter reports the origin and development of The Westminster Con-fession of Faith. The third chapter categorizes the 28 Articles in the six main areas of theology (Theology, Anthropology, Christology, Soteriology, Eccle-siology and Eschatology), suggesting a comparative study in relation to The Westminster Confession of Faith. The results reveal, in an original way, the existing doctrinaire similarities and displacements, achieving the disserta-tion objective.
A presente dissertação de mestrado analisa os acontecimentos históricos e contextuais envolvidos no processo de implantação da Igreja Evangélica Fluminense, que culminaram no estabelecimento dos 28 Artigos da Breve Exposição das Doutrinas Fundamentais do Cristianismo. Trabalhou-se com a hipótese desta declaração de fé ter recebido influência da Confissão de Fé de Westminster, principal símbolo de fé do presbiterianismo escocês, do qual Robert Reid Kalley fez parte. Nesse aspecto, o trabalho busca identifi-car as similaridades e os deslocamentos teológico-doutrinários que permei-am os 28 artigos, através de um estudo comparativo com a Confissão de Fé de Westminster. Como referencial teórico-metodológico utilizou-se o concei-to de história das mentalidades religiosas, como estratégia para identifica-ção das doutrinas comuns cridas e praticadas no cotidiano de sociedades e contextos distintos. O primeiro capítulo apresenta elementos históricos e contextuais na institucionalização da Igreja Evangélica Fluminense e dos 28 Artigos. O segundo capítulo relata a origem e o desenvolvimento da Con-fissão de Fé de Westminster. O terceiro capítulo categoriza os 28 Artigos nas seis principais áreas da teologia (Teologia, Antropologia, Cristologia, Soteri-ologia, Eclesiologia e Escatologia), propondo um estudo comparativo em relação à Confissão de Fé de Westminster. Como resultado apresenta, de forma original, as similaridades e os deslocamentos doutrinários existentes, atingindo o objetivo da pesquisa.

Full textThis work is a study of the school chaplaincy developed in the Baptist Educational Corporation of Minas Gerais (SBME), institution formed by six schools, a college, a language institute and three social educational projects, all of them located in the state of Minas Gerais and maintained by the Educational Board of the Baptist Convention of Minas Gerais, institution to which the Baptist Churches of the state are affiliated. It presents the origin, the context, the development and the constitution of the Baptist Educational Corporation of Minas Gerais, as well as, its relationship with the Baptist denominational structure. It also describes the objectives, the importance, the functions and the legality of school chaplaincy along with the role, the educational formation and the ideal profile of a school chaplain. The school chaplaincy (or pastoral) is present in almost all denominational educational institutions, that is, those which are connected to a religion and adopt the faith and life principles of its religious tradition as guidance of their political and pedagogical actions. The goal of school chaplaincy is to minister to students, employees, teachers and families of an educational institution based on the faith principles of the institution, helping them in their emotional, spiritual and moral needs, helping them to overcome their difficulties and daily fights, so as to make the process of total development of the person flow smoothly. The SBME chaplaincy like all others has to face a lot of challenges related to faith confession principles, school internal and external environment, society problems and a series of other problems the contemporary young student has to face which are described in this paper. In order to face and respond to these many challenges and demands, the chaplaincy of the SBME uses a series of strategies and develops several actions. Among the strategies and possibilities of pastoral actions, the project Ethics and Character in the School is accentuated. The project has as its goal to help students, employees and teachers to build character qualities and ethic principles, along the educational process of the school and also to be used in life(AU0
Este trabalho estuda a capelania escolar desenvolvida no Sistema Batista Mineiro de Educação (STBM), organização formada por seis colégios, uma faculdade, um instituto de idiomas e três projetos socio-educacionais, localizados em Minas Gerais, mantida pela Jutna de Educação da Convenção Batista Mineira, instituição das igrejas batistas de Minas Gerais. Apresenta a origem, contexto, desenvolvimento e constituição do Sistema Batisa Mineiro de Educação, bem como sua relação com a estrutura da deominação batista. Descreve os objetivos, importância, funções e legalidade da capelania escolar e o papél, a formação e o perfil ideal de um capelão ou capelã escolar. A capelania (ou pastoral) escolar está presente em praticamente todas as instituições educacionais confessionais, isto é, naquelas que estão ligadas a uma religião e que adotam os princípios de fé e vida dessa tradição religiosa como norteadores de sua ação poliítico-pedagógica. O objetivo da capelania escolar é ministrar aos alunos, funcionários administrativos e docentes e familiares de uma instituição de ensino, em suas necessidades emocionais, espirituais e morais, ajudando-os a superarem suas dificuldades e lutas, a fim de que o processo de formação do ser integral aconteça. A Capelania do SBME, como todas as capelanias escolares, enfrenta muitos desafios oriundos do exercício da sua confessionalidade, do ambiente interno e externo da escola, da sociedade e de vários problemas que vivenciam o jovem estudante contemporâneo, relacionados ao longo do texto. Para responder a esses desafios e demandas a capelania do SBME usa uma série de estratégias e desenvolve várias ações. Entre as estratégias e possibilidades de ação pastoral apresentadas neste trabalho, destaca-se o Projeto Ética e Caráter na Escola , que objetiva ajudar aos corpos docentes, discente e adminsitrativo a construirem e adotarem valo res e princípios éticos cristãos, ao longo de todo o processo educativo na escola e para a vida(AU)

Early Reformation and the contacts between Lithuanian and Italian Evangelicals (2008) as well as her various scholarly papers on the topic of Reformation and Protestant literature of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL). The main subject of her study deals with the cultural processes of the early Reformation of GDL (the first two decades of the Reformation); however some aspects of the later development of Protestant literature and culture at the second half of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century have also been taken into consideration. This interdisciplinary research integrates the issues and concerns of the history of culture, churches, confessions and literature of GDL. The main issues of the research are: the beginning of the Reformation in Lithuania and the reconstruction of the intellectual biography of Abraomas Kulvietis (Abraham Culvensis Gynvilionis), the pioneer of Lithuanian Evangelical thought; the two early Lithuanian confessions of Evangelical faith: Confessio fidei by Culvensis (1543) and Radziwiłł the Black’s answer to the Papal Nuncio Aloisio Lippomano (Duae epistolae, 1556); the links between Lithuanian and Italian Evangelicals and the role of the Italians in...

Full textThe strength of judicial civil confession is inherited from roman confessio in jure, that was however an admission of claim. Confession being held as an evidence since the medieval law, its nature wears the seal of will whereas its regime is mostly determined by search for the truth. On the one hand, requirement of a free will, both in civil and criminal procedures, grants confession the nature of a legal act intended to prove a fact. Thus genuine confessions can be distinguished from sanctions against litigants who disregard the judge’s imperium, in civil cases as well as in administrative cases. On the other hand, the weight of evidence brought by confession is always determined by the courts in their unfettered discretion. Obligation for civil jurisdictions to state only in consideration of the confessed fact relies on the principle of party disposition. Civil judicial confession 's legal irrevocability is both substantial, as the evidence is permanently constituted, and procedural, preventing the confessor to invoke an opposite allegation of fact. Confession's indivisibility can be analyzed as a result of the suspensive or resolutive condition under which this legal act can be granted

The current dissertation investigates the knowledge of God as My Innermost Self in the memory, having as reference the Confessions, book X. Following the Augustinian view, here we intend to analyze which is the type of knowledge possible to men, and where to find it. For the Bishop of Hippo, only through the foundation of the christian faith a knowledge of God would be accessible. Considering the studied book, that access will be possible when a path in the memory is traversed, based in three actions - one exterior, another interior, and finally a superior. It is through these actions that the human being could know God in his most intimate place that we do not know of, but that exists inside every single men. By making use of authors such as Johannes Brachtendorf, Peter Brown, Philoteus Boehner and Joel Gracioso, this research seeks to concentrate in the referred question, tracing in an objective way all biographic influences that inspired Saint Augustine to achieve his conviction that God is more Intimate of me than I am of Him
A presente dissertação investiga o conhecimento de Deus como Íntimo Meu na memória, tomando como referência o livro X das Confissões. Seguindo a visão agostiniana, aqui pretendemos analisar qual o tipo de conhecimento possível ao homem, e onde encontrar tal conhecimento. Para o bispo de Hipona, somente através da fundamentação da fé cristã seria acessível um conhecimento de Deus. De acordo com o livro referido, esse acesso será possível quando for realizada uma trajetória na memória pautada em três ações - uma exterior, uma interior, e uma superior. Fazendo uso dessas ações é que o ser humano poderia conhecer a Deus no lugar mais íntimo e que desconhecemos, mas que existe dentro de cada um. Acolhendo como norte teórico autores como Johannes Brachtendorf, Peter Brown, Philoteus Boehner e Joel Gracioso, esta pesquisa procura se concentrar na referida questão, traçando de forma objetiva as influências biográficas que contribuíram para que Santo Agostinho pudesse chegar à sua convicção de que Deus é mais Íntimo de mim, do que eu sou d‟Ele

Confessions belong to the autobiographical genre and can show faults, sins and guilty behavior whereas novels belong to the fictional genre. Our work analyses the extent to which a new genre appears in the literary history, and most particularly in the 19th century. Indeed, the “novel confession” is a genre of the 19th century, with its own characteristics

Full textMy understanding of faith is that it must be living faith, like living tissue, and this is true in the obvious sense that it is a life lived. Starting from the view that no individual's existence is self-justifying, what is presented is an existential analysis of our actual encounters with faith, brought to show up through the individual's active struggle in responding to the call of her own question-begging existence. This is the process of the making of the identity I have called transcendental faith.

Full textThe three synoptic recensions of peter's confession are based on a primitive apocalyptic-coloured account, which ends with the choice-saying presently reported in mt 16,18. It expresses a paschal faith tinged with the radicalism of a christian community close to its semitic origins and living in the expectation of the living god's son's advent, seeing peter as the tangible token of the reality of their hope. This primitive account probably retains the remembrance of peter's attitude during the galilean crisis of jesus' ministry. Its most reliable historical base lies nevertheless in the mention of kepha, the nickname given to the disciple. The choice-saying offers a new reading of it, focusing the aspects of solidity and stability usually linked to the term. Yet under the shock of peter's martyrdom, mark replaces the choice-saying by a gathering of jesus'words on the followership, preceded by the first annoucement of the passion. It is not certain that luke ignored the choice-saying. But a reading of the entire lukan corpus allows to see that peter is less the foundation-rock than the actor assuring the steady growth of god's people beyond the calls for conversion of the passion and the overture to the pagans. Matthew knew the primitive account and the markan recension of the confession's narrative. He widened the jesus' declaration with the mt 16,17 beatitude and the mt 16,19 saying of induction, thus creating an indoubted echo with mt 28, 18-20. The powers nowadays wielded in the ecclesiastic brotherhood in the name of the risen lord are then deeply rooted in the jesus'earthly ministry, through the relay of generations
