Compaixão e prudência à luz de Lucas 10,30-35 e Lucas 16,1-8: contribuição da análise sociométrica

Abstract

This thesis intends to demonstrate that the Gospel of Luke contains, among its messages, a social political-theological framework to guide the Lucan community, which intends to generate egalitarian social relations in its community. This message is present in speeches made through parables. The methodology used is found in dialectical theoretical references, based on a historical-critical exegesis and a historical-social hermeneutics, in which the methodological scope of the bibliographical survey is presented in dialog with the Religious and Social Sciences. The objects of this analysis are found in the parables of Luke 10:30-35 and Luke 16:1-8, through two situations, the prejudice against foreigners and the patronage, through the undue collection of taxes and interest. The analysis also elaborates a sociometric study based on social, religious and cultural structures. It starts from an understanding of the context of Luke's Gospel and a literary approach to the complete narrative, to then make the analysis of the parables in question. In these Parables, the oppressed appears as the central subject, as a critique of the status quo of Roman domination and as a positive and liberating construction of the marginalized in first century Christianity. The Parables intend the intentional rescue of Jesus' teachings, so that in the Christian movement of the Lucan community it becomes a praxis. These Parables mark important turning points for the Lucan community. In the end, the thesis sheds light on the keynote of those who develop compassion and prudence in the quest to build hope and identity through access to the teachings present. Thus, this thesis intends, through reinterpretation of biblical texts, to provide material that can help rebuild just social relations and prevent practices of discrimination and inequality
