In 1980, Brazil was the largest Roman Catholic country in the world, with 90 percent of its more than 120 million people numbered among the faithful. The Church hierarchy became aware, however, that the religion practiced by the majority of its members was not that promoted by the institution, a point dramatized by the rapid growth of other religious movements in Brazil—particularly Protestant sects and spirit-possession cults. In response, the Church created and assumed new roles. The Church in Brazil is a case study of the changes within the Church and their impact on Brazilian society. In an original and illuminating discussion, Thomas Bruneau combines institutional analysis and survey ...

Anyone interested in understanding the watershed history of Catholicism in the 20th century will value Walter Burghardt as a reliable guide and fascinating companion.
O médico de uma condessa de Veneza recomendou-lhe comer alimentos crus, ricos em ferro, porque sua cliente estava com anemia. Cortados em fatias nas e bem temperadas, a carne ou o peixe foi servido de aperitivo por um barman de Veneza. A cor avermelhada lembrou-lhe os quadros do pintor cuja obra estava em exposição na cidade: Vittore Carpaccio. E da Itália o nome veio para os cardápios e menus do mundo inteiro. As palavras deste livro lembram a erva sempre-viva, assim chamada por não murchar nem perder a cor. Por isso, todos querem a reedição mais recente. E está aqui a 18a, que corrige, modifica e amplia as anteriores.
A Teologia Hermenêutica busca reavivar o sentido genuíno da fé cristã e ir ao encontro da experiência histórica contemporânea. Com nova sensibilidade dialogal, aceita as provocações do contexto hodierno, a fim de tentar corresponder aos seus desafios, dentre os quais está a questão incontornável do pluralismo religioso que provoca a reflexão sobre a singularidade da experiência cristã no contexto da diversidade irredutível das expressões religiosas. Uma racionalidade hermenêutica em Teologia visa evitar um suicídio da inteligência, dando espaço para uma postura crítica, ao mesmo tempo em que confia na ação sempre viva e atualizadora do Espírito Santo na história. A metodologia hermenêutica habilita o fazer teológico tratando de temas delicados de forma criativa e aberta, assim como enfatiza a historicidade da revelação cristã e a estrutura hermenêutica da experiência de fé.
