Summary: | “Fundamentalism” is a movement or a current of thought, which preaches strict and literal obedience to a set of fundamental principles. It can be present in the economy, politics, education and other instances of human life. However, it is in religion that fundamentalism is best known and discussed. Throughout history, religious fundamentalism has gone through different phases of expression enabling new conceptual and structural analysis. In recent years, the theme has resurfaced in Latin America where some governments’ policies are based on fundamentalist ideas. There is a dangerous connection between religious and political fundamentalisms. This article aims to critically evaluate this relationship and its social consequences. The text is divided into four parts: 1) distinction between “conservatism” and “fundamentalism”; 2) an overview of the phases of expression of Christian Protestant fundamentalismo; 3) the Bible as the basis of The Fundamentals: a Testimony to the Truth; 4) Brazilian-style fundamentalism from Protestantism of mission and Pentecostalism. The propositional aspects are suggested all along this reflection and, mainly in the final part, as notes to rethink the theological formation of religious leaders in Brazil. |

Pode estar presente na economia, na política, na educação e em outras instâncias da vida humana. É na religião que o fundamentalismo é mais conhecido e relacionado. Fundamentalismo religioso tem fases de expressão no decorrer da história possibilitando novas elaborações conceituais e estruturais. Nos últimos anos, o tema ressurge na América Latina quando governos fazem das ideias fundamentalistas a sua base. Há uma junção perigosa entre os fundamentalismos religioso e político. O objetivo desse artigo consiste em avaliar criticamente esta relação e os seus desdobramentos sociais. O texto se divide em: 1) distinção entre “conservadorismo” e “fundamentalismo”; 2) panorama sobre as fases de expressão do fundamentalismo cristão de matriz protestante; 3) a Bíblia como base do The Fundamentals: a Testimony to the Truth; 4) fundamentalismo à brasileira, a partir do protestantismo de missão e do pentecostalismo. Os aspectos propositivos são sugeridos no decorrer da reflexão e, principalmente, no último momento do texto como apontamentos para repensar a formação teológica de líderes religiosos no Brasil.Editora PUC Minas2020-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/2369610.5752/P.2175-5841.2020v18n57p1137HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião; v. 18, n. 57, set./dez. 2020 - Dossiê - Fundamentalismos e Democracia; 1137HORIZONTE - Journal of Studies in Theology and Religious Sciences; v. 18, n. 57, set./dez. 2020 - Dossiê - Fundamentalismos e Democracia; 11372175-5841reponame:Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/23696/17877Copyright (c) 2020 HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCunha, Carlos Alberto Motta 2021-03-08T16:42:40Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/23696Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonteONGhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/oaihorizonte.pucminas@gmail.com2175-58411679-9615opendoar:2021-03-08T16:42:40Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false |
