Repensar as metáforas originárias em ecoteologia: Oikos e Hodos num clima em mudança
Main Article Content
Resumo
Este artigo justapõe duas metáforas originárias, vastamente usadas na ecoteologia cristã, nomeadamente a da «casa de Deus» (oikos) e a de uma jornada ao longo do «caminho» (hodos). Estas serão testadas por referência a outras metáforas propostas, e pela sua relativa adequação, ao serem usadas nas respostas cristãs às mudanças climáticas. Sugere-se que a metáfora espacial da casa pode ser complementada pela metáfora temporal da jornada, tendo em conta os desafios de um clima em mudança. Consequentemente, o lar compreende-se melhor na dimensão escatológica. A Terra é, de facto, a nossa casa comum, mas ainda não providencia um lar para todos.
