A JUSTIÇA SOCIAL NO SERMÃO ESCATOLÓGICO DE MATEUS 25,34-36.40 COM ÊNFASE NA CATEGORIA FORASTEIRO

Abstract

This dissertation proposes to approach the Eschatological Sermon of the Gospel of Matthew 25,34-36.40 as denunciator of environments without social justice in the social contexts of Palestine and in South Syria of the first century A.C.The research aims to highlight that social injustice is a construction of several segments and to show that Jesus' social goal was to implant a Kingdom based on social justice, according to the Evangelist Matthew. Among the constructive segments of social injustice are the governmental and religious that conform to the current status quo and thus have no interest in change. The question of social justice is approached from the perspective of conflicting sociology. The hypothesis is based on the proposition that "The Jesus Christ described by Matt 25: 34-36.40 is of the miserable. Matthew points to a Jesus who is among the hungry, thirsty, stranger, naked, sick, and stuck. So it is those who do good works who will come into possession of the Kingdom". In order to investigate the hypothesis, the first chapter of the historical context and how the categories hunger, thirst, outsiders, nudes, patients and prisoners in the Eschatological Sermon of Matthew were articulated and in which they contributed to the formation of the social injustice. In the second chapter the exegesis of the sacred text is made from the historical-critical method. The third chapter seeks to update the text of Mt 25,34-36.40 by studying the Haitian migratory phenomenon for Brazil that occurred after the earthquake of 2010. It is concluded that social injustice is still present in today's society and that the same mechanisms generate in the time of the Evangelist Matthew continue in other formats nowadays.
