Characteristics of a Relevant Church Confronting the Missionary Needs In the City of Curitiba, Brazil - Johannesburg South African Theological Seminary 2017 - 241 pages PDF A4 Abstract, TOC



This study aims to try to understand how a local church may be relevant in the context of the city of Curitiba. The research tries to discover elements of relevance that can be perceived through the social sciences in the presence of the church in society. It looks at the history of the church in Brazil seeking to understand whether the sense of relevance is unique, or if it undergoes changes as social dynamics change, and whether there are preponderant contours that are able to withstand time. In biblical terms, starting from the biblical images of the church in the New Testament, it attempts to delineate the sense of relevance identified in them. Through selected theologians in historical periods and distinct contexts, it seeks theoretical paradigms of the relevance of the church. Finally, it focuses on research in order to understand the city of Curitiba, its soul and its missionary needs in order to propose actions of relevance obtained through previous studies
