A teologia do enviado: da Sagrada Escritura ao movimento carismático

Abstract

This dissertation has as object of study the biblical Christology of the Envoy from an approximation with the popular Christology of the CCR (Catholic Charismatic Renewal). Starting from the biblical theology of the Envoy, it focuseson the Christology presented in the Catholic charismatic movement, seeking to explain its characteristics, scarcity of theological discernment and implications for the Christian’s self-understanding. Trusting that the Christology of the Envoy can fill the gaps present in the CCR, the tradition of the Old Testament and New Testament abouttheological origin of the Envoy, illuminated to set up a broad picture on which the Evangelist John was able to compile his Christology. Finally, the occurrences ofthe Envoy in the Gospel according to John are reviewed, highlighting how in the narrative Jesus understands himself and presents himself as the father's Envoy. The propositions of the theological systematization of the last chapter aim to answer the questions suggested by charismatic Christology. The present work aims to contribute to a better understanding of Jesus’ Envoy in dialogue with a current Christological tendency
