BibliographySubject(s): Dissertation note: Doctor of Philosophy in Theology (PhD) South African Theological Seminary 2015 Prof. Dr. AntônioCarlos Barro Summary: This thesis is a result of a bibliographic research made from literary ecclesiology works of general theology and sociologic literature, in a Christian and missiology perspective, in attempt to identify the reason of the existence of dichotomy in the theology of types of the Christian faith universe as well as aspects of greater social incidence of the church. Our aim is to answer the following questions: Does the church have social responsibilities? How has the church responded to the social problem in its context? Until what point can the church be a transforming instrument in society? Also, in a resumed way, we try to offer answers to questions related with the needs of the Bible and Theology as for the church not to lose itself on the ways of liberalism, fundamentalism and post-modern pragmatism. We also make an approach about the type, or types, of Theology that the church needs to operate as a true agent of transformation of the human being as a person and its social-political and cultural context. In the final chapter, the approach will be the implementation of the global mission in Brasilia’s context. Several social-political and cultural aspects have been considered based on the society of Brasilia’s ethic transformation and its position as the federal capital. These aspects have been analyzed based on the post-modern philosophy, and its many characteristics, that have been molding men’s mentality in the post-modernity. Immediately we presented some practical suggestions so that the church in Brasilia’s region, that its formed by the Federal District and surroundings, can operate as a transforming agent of an individual as well as the context of which this individual is inserted. Key words: social responsibility, incident ecclesiology, relevant theology, contextualization, transforming mission, fundamentalism theology and post-modernity.
