A terapêutica integral de Jesus: análise exegética, hermenêutica, fenomenológica e antropológica dos milagres de Jesus nos textos neotestamentários e interfaces com a Terapia Comunitária Integrativa

Abstract

Biblical texts have riches to be enjoyed by readers of different sciences and faiths. While theology contributes with experience and knowledge from the perspective of those who have faith, the Sciences of Religions provide the basis for a more refined scholarship and an airing of ideas for the theologian to critically build his reflections upon his beliefs. The objective of this research is to foster the dialogue between exegesis, philosophical hermeneutics, phenomenology and anthropology, by reading of three narratives of Jesus' miracles, in light of some scientists of the religions, for application in Integrative Community Therapy. This work follows the methodology of bibliographical research based on the New Testament texts and on works of specialists from different areas of knowledge, in order to present a reading that makes use of the theory of myth/rite, the experience of the sacred, concepts of alterity, and the paradigm of embodiment in favor of the present-day practice of integral care. In the first chapter we make the exegesis of the New Testament texts, where the meanings connected to the context and the original language of the narrative are highlighted. In the second chapter, we read the texts through the eyes of authors from different areas of knowledge. Finally, the third chapter presents potencial bridges between the integral therapy of Jesus and the TCI methodology.
