Abstract

There is, "hidden" in the letter of Colossians, a theology in active action capable of sharpening the recognition, appreciation and respect as to the meaning and the sense of the treasures of the wisdom and knowledge of the human being (in) formation. Scholars have focused their efforts on peering at Colossians from its hymn, from combating false teachings and from its domestic code. On screen, the focus will be on the entire letter. The analysis of the sense space will be the tool. The historical awareness of hope will be the instrument. Theology in action will be the target. The object of this thesis is the analysis of Colossians 1,24-29 with a focus on the expression "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (1,27). As a form of questioning, we ask: to what extent does the now eschatological Colossians 1,27 impel readers to a historical awareness of hope? The processes of ethical transformation in Christianity express approaches from multiple perspectives. We start from the hypothesis that, in Colossians, the science of the life and work of the historical Christ requires a reception and transformation by / in / between the Christ of faith.
