Hermenêutica bíblica da libertação

The first part deals with the biblical hermeneutics in general, seen as a dialogue between the original author and readers with the reader who today enters the cycle. The opposition made by Paul the Apostle between letter and spirit serves as a starting point for explaining the hermeneutic sense rewriting. The "spirit" in the sense of Paul can be understood as the appropriation of meaning, that in the Christian tradition can be called the "full meaning" of the Holy Scripture. The fundamentalist hermeneutics is evaluated by contrast. Finally, the hermeneutic spiral between interpretation of the text and praxis is described. In the second part the biblical hermeneutics of Liberation is contemplated: the origin in the Latin American context, the experience of reading the Bible with the people of the poor, the statement of Jesus Christ as criterion of this hermeneutics and new perspectives today opened out from the hermeneutics of Liberation: decolonial and ecological readings.
